Rumour has it that they will turn mobile phones into devices which use the RF waves to make you tell your personal details to your local Direct Marketing Association rep by using thought control. Be very wary.

  4. Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
