Last time i checked, this wasn't the [Big-Picture] or [Economic-News] or 
[Things-That-Could-Possibly-Happen-In-The-Future]. I'm happy for the 
Americans, and I'm sure it may affect the economy, or typhoons in Japan, or 
about a billion other things, but right now, it doesn't affect any computer 
security related issue (unless you know of some leet hax0ring technique that 
the Americans used to locate him (Anbody remember the cellphone tracking 
incident? ;p). I know it might be hard to believe, but there is actually a 
thing called cnn. (and yes, we can actually get it in the deep dark 
Africa ;p). Perhaps in the future keep posting related to computers or if 
you really want to deviate, some really significant non-mainstream news that 
will not be pasted all over every newspaper front page or "breaking news" 
cnn repeat.

Thanks
