The plaintiffs in the case are 13 U.S. citizens who were denied boarding on flights over U.S. airspace after January 2009.' Judge Anna Brown hasn't ruled on the constitutionality of the No Fly List yet, and has instructed the attorneys involved to present a roadmap for deciding the remaining issues. However, she has acknowledged that the No Fly List is a major burden to those on the list and they have the right to get that status reviewed."

External Link: How Some User Interfaces Are Designed to Trick You TidBITS(cached at August 30, 2013, 10:32 pm)

Over on The Verge, user experience expert Harry Brignull explains how some interface designers use dark patterns to trick you into doing things you otherwise wouldn’t do. An Apple-specific example is how the Limit Ad Tracking option in iOS 6 is hidden in General -> About -> Advertising, instead of in the privacy settings. He lists other examples, such as how some Web sites con you into buying subscriptions you don’t need, and how they use trick questions to get you to sign up for spam.

With the help from indigenous groups, civil organizations and universities, village residents put up an antenna on a rooftop, installed radio and computer equipment, and created its own micro provider called Red Celular de Talea. Service costs only 15 pesos ($1.2) per month and a few pennies per minute to make calls to the United States. However, there is one catch: calls are limited to a maximum of five minutes to prevent saturation of lines."
