U.S.: Honey flare-up: A false-positive “explosive” has travelers abuzz

  • Excuse me sir, what’s in the jar? A California airport was shut down for hours today after somebody brought some containers of honey through the security check. The substance tested positive for explosives. Really, it was just explosively delicious. Call it sweet consolation. source

Tech: For 40 minutes, Google thought every site was malware. LOL.

  • “What happened? Very simply, human error.” That’s the message from Google VP Marissa Mayer regarding a hilariously disastrous error in the search engine. Essentially, someone accidentally turned on a switch that makes every page with ‘/’ as a root (i.e. every page on the Internet) verify as positive for malware early yesterday morning. And then Google turned it off after surprising everyone. And we LOL’ed. source
