Hilarious

Toyota has decided to recall about 270,000 of its latest-generation Prius cars in Japan and the United States to fix a brake problem in the hybrid car, according to reports this morning. The Japanese carmaker will shortly file with the Japanese transport ministry and the US Department of Transportation for the recall, the Nikkei business newspaper reported.

TWO hammerhead sharks have been spotted at Rainbow Bay

Now a leading computer forensic firm is providing the closest look so far at the nature of the attacks, and attackers, that struck Google and others, thousands of others. The report never mentions Google by name, or any other companies, but focuses on information gathered from hundreds of forensic investigations the firm has conducted that are identical to what we know about the Google hack.
