* Yahoo has announced a new partnership with the new organization Reuters which will make it easier for the public to contribute photos and videos of news events. The rather suspiciously named "[You Witness][2]," will be accepting uploads starting tomorrow and will apparently cross post your images to Flickr.
* Last week a U.S. District Judge [ruled that the FBI could use cellphones to spy][3] on you. The technique works by remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone to record nearby conversations.
* [Ask city is a new local search][4] and maps tool from Ask.com. Future plans call for a mobile version as well.
* TiVoToGo's DRM has been [cracked by some industrious hackers][5]. TiVoToGo DRM locks your saved programs once they're transferred to your computer and restricts what you can do with your recordings. [via [BoingBoing][6]]
