he National Security Agency has the ability to hack into and access
user data on smartphones running software from Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL),
Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY), according to a
report from German newspaper Der Spiegel.

Report revealed that the NSA can hack into iPhone, BlackBerry and
Android devices. BlackBerry devices were thought to be secured, but
the NSA reportedly celebrated when they broke through BlackBerry's
security features. The NSA can reportedly hack into the computers a
person uses to sync their iPhone and get access to at least 38 iPhone
features:

The largest railroad company in the US is testing using natural gas
instead of diesel for fuel. That company is the 2nd largest consumer
of diesel in the US (the Navy is #1) and is motivated by natural gas
costing about $2/gallon while diesel costs $4/gallon. The train could
also travel farther between refueling and have the same power. This
would also be great for the environment...I have been enjoying my
natural gas-powered Honda Civic:
