Paula — dubbed such even though her gender is actually unknown — is one of eight creatures competing to become the

It’s no wonder that young students shy away from computer programming, writes Neil McAllister at InfoWorld . The way schools teach it is so … boring. “Traditional computer science classes at the high school level and earlier teach programming as if it was an end unto itself,” he writes. Students write dull,…

Colby King Calls Michele Bachmann ‘Barbie With Fangs’

Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist Colby King on Friday disgracefully called Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann “Barbie with fangs.” His fellow “Inside Washington” panelist Charles Krauthammer – obviously annoyed by this sexist display – replied, “It’s good to see how civil and non-ad hominem we are here in the Huntsman spirit” (video follows with transcript and commentary): COLBY KING, WASHINGTON POST: Well, what he’s, [Jon Huntsman] can’t out anti-Obama with the other Republican field. They have that. He’s got Gingrich there, he’s got Michele Bachmann, they’re going to do the number on Obama. So he has to distinguish himself. But, when you get right down to it, he, and, and, and, and Mitt Romney are the, are the two Ken dolls in the, in the, in the Republican race. You got Michele Bachmann who is Barbie with fangs. [Laughter] I mean, it’s, the, the, the field itself is just sort of a, like a caricature. There’s no substance. CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: It’s good to see how civil and non-ad hominem we are here in the Huntsman spirit as I understand it. KING: I love them all. How thoroughly disgraceful. King should be ashamed of himself and be asked to immediately apologize for making such a statement about a sitting member of Congress. When is this sexist bashing of conservative female political officials by America's press going to stop?

LulzSec Claims Hack of Arizona Law Enforcement Info

Click here to view this media Hmmm… I wonder if we’ll be hearing anything about our buddy Sheriff Joe Arpaio with this news? LulzSec claims hack of Arizona law enforcement info : Hacking group LulzSec took aim at law enforcement in the state of Arizona on Thursday, saying it was releasing “hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords” belonging to those in law enforcement. The group, which has claimed responsibility for various denial-of-service attacks in recent weeks, ranging from the CIA and U.S. Senate’s public websites to those of various video game companies, said it specifically targeted Arizona “because we are against SB 1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona.” SB 1070, a tough immigration law, was passed a year ago by state legislators, but immediately challenged. A preliminary injunction by a federal judge has blocked most of the law from going into effect. Arizona is planning to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to lift the injunction. Read on… Breaking: LulzSec leaks Arizona law enforcement papers (Updated: Details!) : LulzSec just now announced a trove of leaked material it claims is from Arizona law enforcement agencies, made available as a 446MB torrent . We are releasing hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords belonging to Arizona law enforcement. We are targeting AZDPS specifically because we are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona. The documents classified as “law enforcement sensitive”, “not for public distribution”, and “for official use only” are primarily related to border patrol and counter-terrorism operations and describe the use of informants to infiltrate various gangs, cartels, motorcycle clubs, Nazi groups, and protest movements. Every week we plan on releasing more classified documents and embarassing personal details of military and law enforcement in an effort not just to reveal their racist and corrupt nature but to purposefully sabotage their efforts to terrorize communities fighting an unjust “war on drugs”. Hackers of the world are uniting and taking direct action against our common oppressors – the government, corporations, police, and militaries of the world. See you again real soon! ;D Many of the documents seem to be mundane, but the sheer size of the dump means that it’ll take some time for reporters to parse. After the jump, I’ll post anything newsworthy that I spot on a skim-through.

Skype for iPad leaked in promo video (video)

If you’ve lost sleep over the lack of a dedicated Skype app for your iPad, you can rest easy tonight knowing somewhere out there it does exist — or at least a promo video does. Earlier today, someone over at Skype unintentionally (we assume) posted what looks like an ad for a real-deal app for the iOS slab. Of course, the evidence has since been pulled, but you can check out a ripped version (sans audio) after the break. It looks like the days of blowing up ye ole iPhone Skype are numbered. Update: The folks over at TUAW had a chat with Skype’s Rick Osterloh about the iPad app, and he says you can expect most of the functionality to carry over from the iPhone. There are, unfortunately, a few desktop features, like file sharing, that won’t make an appearance. Sadly, Osterloh didn’t spill the release-date beans.
