You have FaceBook and MySpace and YouTube.....and now...A-Space.  Only unless you have top level clearances, you won’t be joining this social networking site. Well, let’s hope that’s how it really goes down. (Kind of scary that the government thinks the internet is secure when you really think about it).

The soon to be launching A-Space program is a site for analysts working within the 16 US intelligence agencies. “It’s every bit Facebook and YouTube for spies, but it’s much, much more,” said Michael Wertheimer, assistant deputy director of national intelligence for analysis.  “It’s a place where not only spies can meet but share data they’ve never been able to share before,” Wertheimer said. “This is going to give them for the first time a chance to think out loud, think in public amongst their peers, under the protection of an A-Space umbrella.” Ummm....an A-Space umbrella? I sure hope it can weather a decent storm.

LG has officially announced its Secret—a new 5-megapixel camera phone that is able to capture video in DivX quality at 120 fps. Set for a European release sometime in 2008, the LG’s Secret, aka KF-750, actually belongs to LG’s Black Label series.

The Secret boasts of being the slimmest 5-megapixel camera phone at just 11.8mm (0.46-inches) thick. But don’t let its thickness persuade you into believing that the LG Secret will offer you features as thin as its body. On the contrary, the LG Secret wallops some heavies aside from its camera. Other features include a carbon fiber casing, tempered glass LCD and neon touch features. If those materials sound familiar, that’s because those are the materials commonly used in aircrafts and high-performance cars.
