Today's "Cool!" ration

[unixronin]

First of all, there's video of an airliner being struck by lightning on takeoff from a Japanese airport.  No-one was injured; it's not known whether there was any damage to the aircraft.  The interesting part is that the plane itself triggered the discharge.

And then, yndy found this article about young Saudis using Bluetooth to circumvent the strict segregation enforced by Saudi Arabia's wahhabist religious police.  I have to wonder how long it'll last, but it's one of those cases where the writing's on the wall for anyone who wants to read it.  The coming generation in Saudi Arabia has no use for the Wahhabis and their 7th-century idea of morality.
