Japan anti-terrorism data leaked

Sensitive police documents in Japan related to international terrorism have been leaked online.
More than 100 documents give personal details of people co-operating with terrorism inquiries, and foreigners in Japan apparently under investigation. The documents, which also include intelligence believed to have come from the FBI, are thought to have been published via file-sharing software.
Tokyo’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) says an inquiry is under way.

The Asahi newspaper described the leak as a potential disaster that could shatter international trust in Japanese police. Unnamed Tokyo police officials are cited as saying that the contents of the leaked documents are being studied, and officers questioned to determine how the information got into the public domain.

iPhone 4 adds gyroscope for six-axis gaming
Apple announced the iPhone 4 today and introduced ten new features such as a slimmer body, HD video recording, and improved battery life. However, the iPhone is known for exploding smartphone gaming with hundreds of games from independent and big name developers to the point that Nintendo sees Apple as its main threat now. So, what did Apple add to the iPhone 4 for gaming? How about a 3-axis gyroscope to improve motion controls.

The new 3-axis gyroscope in combination with the existing accelerometer giives the iPhone six-axis mtion sensing (up/down, side to side, forward/backward, pitch/roll). Developers will be able to use the new gyroscope with the CoreMotion API to create games and applications for the smart phone.
According to the information we received today, the phone will be released on June 24th in the U.S. other countries have not been mentioned so far.

The phone will have an enhanced image quality thanks to the Retinal display technology so the screen now displays 326 pixels per inch.
This announcement got a few hearty cheers apparently from the audience at WWDC, and as many iPhone app developers concentrate on the lucrative gaming segment, this isn’t too surprising. Some gaming applications that we can think of right off the bat include flight simulators, better augmented reality apps that take into account elevation/pitch changes, sport games (image iPhone 4 + Wii) and as Jobs demoed, games such as Jenga:

The game that immediately sticks out to me that would benefit the most from this extra degree of control would be a game like Zen Bound [$2.99 / Free], as I imagine manipulating the objects you wrap could be even easier with yet another degree of control. It’s not hard to think of other games that could be enhanced by the extremely precise motion tracking, especially if you’ve ever used a Wii Motion Plus and have seen just how much the addition of a gyroscope can improve how accurately a game can track your movement.

Like anything on the App Store, it’s up to developers to implement these new features. All we can do is wait and see what they come up with once they finally get the device in their hands.

Alanis Morissette Married to Rapper Souleye in Suprise Wedding
36-year-old Canadian recording artist Alanis Morissette married Mario Treadway, who also goes by the stage name of MC Souleye, on Saturday, May 22 at their Los Angeles home. Spinner is reporting that the ceremony included their family members and it marks the first marriage for both Morissette and Treadway.

Morissette became engaged to actor Ryan Reynolds, who is currently married to actress Scarlett Johansson, six years ago and the former couple was together for four years. Reynolds started dating Johansson shortly after their breakup and Morissette reportedly created her Flavors of Entanglement album out of grief in response to their separation.

It is the first marriage for the couple, who married a week before Morissette’s 36th birthday. They reportedly began dating in October, 2009.

Morissette was previously engaged to actor Ryan Reynolds but the stars split in 2006. He is now married to Scarlett Johansson.
She was also in a relationship with Dave Coulier of Full House fame. Uncle Joey is believed to be the guy whose behavior inspired Alanis’ “You Oughta Know.
Alanis is 26 years old while Treadway is 30. We wish them the best and congratulations to the newly-wed couple. Which honeymoon destinations had they chosen?
