          Doug Whitman, North Californian hedge-fund manager, allegedly attained $900,000 for his company through insider tips on technology firms. Whitman, 54, is said to have traded confidential information on publicly traded companies as well as payed for tips, specifically tips from Karl Motey and neighbor and business associate Roomy Khan between 2006-2007 on companies such as Polycon Inc. and Google. Both, Motey and Khan have pleaded guilty to their own instances of insider-trading and are currently working with authorities to testify against others of similar crimes. Whitman’s case is one that stems from a larger insider-trading case against Raj Rajaratnam, founder Galleon Group. Whitman has pleaded not guilty and was released on a $1.5 million bond. Whitman’s lawyer holds that he traded using only lawful research and information.

Dead Drops (Not The Ones In Infamous)

          Hey, this is a cool project I discovered thanks to one of my friends on Facebook. The project is an offline, peer-to-peer file sharing network. The project was started by Aram Bartholl and works by embedding flash drive in walls in the public space. Everyone is invited to use the Dead Drops--putting files on them and/or taking files off and more importantly making their own. Watch their video below and check out there website here. (Grammar, if there are issues, will be fixed when I get home tonight.)
