'Anti-social network' aims to be Facebook killer app

Facebook makes you despair? Social networking makes you want to end it all? You may be ready for online ritual suicide with the aid of a new website that helps you kill your virtual identity.

"Impress your friends, disconnect yourself," is the slogan on www.seppukoo.com, a site that aims to subvert Facebook by offering its millions of users a glorious end and a memorial page to match.

"Rather than fall into the hands of their enemies, ancient Japanese samurai preferred to die with honour, voluntarily plunging a sword into the abdomen and moving it left to right in a slicing motion," the site notes.

Former 'Hanna Montana' star Miley Cyrus reveals new 'Just Breathe' tattoo on ribcage

Hope she put some sunscreen on that! Seventeen-year-old Miley Cyrus debuts her new ink, which reads "Just Breathe", while hanging poolside in Florida on Thursday.

She dates an older Australian hunk. She's modeled topless for Vanity Fair. She's pole-danced.

As if Miley Cyrus needed another reason to prove to the world she's shedding her virginal "Hannah Montana" image for good, she's gone and done it again - permanently.

The 17-year-old's skimpy, hot pink bikini couldn't take the attention away from her new "Just Breathe" tattoo scrawled in black just underneath her left breast, clearly visible in several images taken by paparazzi.

Cyrus debuted her fresh ink on Thursday while chatting poolside with friends at a Miami, Fla. hotel, according to the Daily Mail. She was reportedly seen motioning to the tattoo while being photographed.

Cyrus' agent didn't confirm to the British publication whether the tattoo was real or temporary, but one devoted fan suggested in her blog that the tween's ink is a tribute to Vanessa, a 9-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis. It is said that Cyrus bonded with Vanessa after meeting her at a Los Angeles hospital before she passed away in 2007.

Cystic fibrosis is an unpreventable disease that causes thick mucus to build up in lungs, causing infections and making it difficult to breathe. Often times, people who are diagnosed with cystic fibrosis die at a young age because of lung complications.

The legal age for getting a tattoo in Tennessee, Cyrus' home state, is 18. But other states with the same law allow minors to get inked with parental consent.

Radio Waves See Through Walls

Radio Waves See Through Walls: "University of Utah engineers showed that a wireless network of radio transmitters can track people moving behind solid walls. The system could help police, firefighters and others nab intruders, and rescue hostages, fire victims and elderly people who fall in their homes. It also might help retail marketing and border control."
