• Saudi America, but not for long: "We see two chapters in the oil markets. Up to 2020, we expect the tight oil to increase and the need for Middle East oil will be less.

• Santhakumar Kannappan at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea and a few pals have built high-performance supercapacitors out of graphene that store almost as much energy as a lithium-ion battery, can charge and discharge in seconds and maintain all this over many tens of thousands of charging cycles.



• Preah Vihear: Cambodia gets sovereignty over the 900 year old Hindu temple on the border with Thailand. 



• These Atlanticists: British spooks used spoof sites of Slashdot and LinkedIn to distribute spying malware.



• This is how you deal with the Hans: A handful of Chinese scooter exhibitors at the International Motorcycle Exhibition had their goods seized by the Italian police because they had brought imitation Vespa scooters to the show.
