Federal judge tosses out life sentences for DC sniper Malvo

Image
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A federal judge has tossed out two life sentences for D.C. sniper Lee Boyd Malvo and ordered Virginia courts to hold new sentencing hearings. In a ruling issued Friday, U.S. District Judge Raymond Jackson in Norfolk said Malvo is entitled to new sentencing hearings after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that mandatory life sentences for juveniles are unconstitutional. Malvo was 17 when he was arrested in 2002 for a series of shootings that killed 10 people and wounded three in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, causing widespread fear throughout the region. His accomplice, John Allen Muhammad, was executed. Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Morrogh, who helped prosecute Malvo, said the Virginia attorney general can appeal Jackson's ruling. If not, he said he would pursue another life sentence.

Computer wins 2nd game against Chinese go champion

WUZHEN, China (AP) — A computer beat China's top player of go, one of the last games machines have yet to master, for a second time Thursday in a competition authorities limited the Chinese public's ability to see. Ke Jie lost despite playing what Google's AlphaGo indicated was the best game any opponent has played against it, said Demis Hassabis, founder of the company that developed the program. AlphaGo defeated Ke, a 19-year-old prodigy, in their first game Tuesday during a forum organized by Google on artificial intelligence in Wuzhen, a town west of Shanghai. They play a final game Saturday. AlphaGo previously defeated European and South Korean champions, surprising players who had expected it to be at least a decade before computers could master the game. Internet users outside China could watch this week's games live but Chinese censors blocked most mainland web users from seeing the Google site carrying the feed. None of China's dozens of video si

Mark Zuckerberg returned and collected an honorary degree 13 years after dropping out from Harvard University.

He returned to the Ivy League school to address its graduating class. The Facebook CEO began his speech telling students, “You accomplished something I never could.” Zuckerberg had enrolled in Harvard College in 2002 and dropped out after two years without completing his degree. The 33-year-old had launched the social media platform, which was then known as “Thefacebook”, in his Harvard dorm room in 2004 where he also met Priscilla Chan. He made a 24-minute video from the Harvard dorm room and addressed while looking visibly excited. His parents also showed up to the school to help him pack up his belongings, and his friends threw him a goodbye party as well. Zuckerberg, who like the graduates is a millennial, started Facebook in his dorm room in 2004. What began as a closed networking site for Harvard students is now a global communications force with nearly 2 billion members. Zuckerberg follows another famous Harvard dropout, Bill Gates, who spoke before its graduates

Mariah Carey's Diva Behavior on a Movie Set Is As 'Bananas' As Co-Star (Audio)

"Baywatch" actor Rob Huebel slammed Mariah Carey for being a diva on the set of the Will Ferrell-Amy Poehler comedy, "The House," in which she plays herself. Huebel opened up about shooting with the pop star for the upcoming comedy during a recent interview (below) on Entertainment Weekly's SiriusXM radio show, and apparently, "it did not go well." "F-cking, what is going on with her? It was bananas," Huebel said before rattling off his on-set grievances with the singer. Huebel said that Carey was "four hours late" to set for the one day she was scheduled to shoot and that she demanded her trailer be filled with "all white roses" and "stuffed lambs" (see tweet below), because that's what Carey's fans call themselves. The lambs are always in my heart #L4L pic.twitter.com/08xz5r53BK According to Huebel, Carey was paid quite well to perform only one song, which she decided the day of the sho

Hackers are hiding computer viruses in film subtitles to take control of devices

Millions of people may be at risk from a new method of hacking that infects devices with hidden computer viruses in the subtitles of online videos, according to security researchers. Cybersecurity firm Check Point found that subtitle files for films and TV shows could be manipulated to allow hackers to take complete control over any type of device via vulnerabilities found in popular streaming platforms, including VLC, Popcorn-Time and Kodi. “The supply chain for subtitles is complex, with over 25 different subtitle formats in use, all with unique features and capabilities,” says Omri Herscovici, vulnerability research team leader at Check Point, in an email to  Newsweek  . “This fragmented ecosystem, along with limited security, means there are multiple vulnerabilities that could be exploited, making it a hugely attractive target for attackers.” Subtitles appear over a confrontation scene between a South Korean (L) and North Korean soldier from a movie titled "Joint S
