“Movie theaters ban Google Glass and other wearables”

That idea you had about bringing your Google Glass to the movie theater to surreptitiously record Mockingjay? Don't even think about it, the movie industry says. It announced Wednesday a "zero tolerance policy" towards wearable recording devices. Hollywood has had an ongoing problem with the use of recording devices in movie theaters. Hand-held cameras have been the main culprits in traditional film theft, resulting in a black market for pirated DVDs with shaky recordings of just-released movies. But that seems almost quaint compared to the advent of smartphones and other devices. Long-standing theater policies require that phones and recording devices must be silenced or shut off and put away, this week, the Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theatre Owners updated their policy "to fully integrate wearable tech in the rules" against illegally recording movies. "Individuals who fail or refuse to put the recording devices away may be asked to leave," it reads. "If theater managers have indications that illegal recording activity is taking place, they will alert law enforcement authorities when appropriate, who will determine what further action should be taken."

And then there were the stolen credit cards police say he took out of his wallet. In the 17 minutes he was at the pump, he used two cards to pump 95 gallons of diesel fuel. What happened at this gas station outside Atlanta is part of a crime wave around the country, police say. It's called "pump and dump." Thieves use stolen credit cards to get gas and then sell it at cut-rate prices to truckers and gas stations that are part of the scheme. Authorities say it's a multi-million dollar crime with a quick payoff. The Rosetta mission to land a probe on Comet 67P is past the point of no return, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced on Wednesday. "There is no going back now," the agency said after the spacecraft's lander was released for its trip to the surface. If it succeeds it will be the first time a spacecraft has landed on a comet. The Philae lander separated from the mother ship Rosetta around 3:30 a.m. ET to begin its 7-hour descent. Philae, which has spent 10 years fixed to the side of Rosetta during the journey across the solar system, cannot be steered. Once it was released, it was on its own. Scientists are hoping the probe will help us learn a lot more about the composition of comets and how they react when they get close to the Sun.
