ANDERSON, Ind. - Some students at Highland Middle School in Anderson have been suspended after their teacher accidentally synced a topless picture of herself to a school-issued iPad.

Joshua Troutt, 13, said he and three other students were playing a game on the iPad in class when one of the students pressed a button and a photograph of the teacher's partially bare chest was revealed.

Something tells me this will blow up in the face of the administration unless the kids were showing it to everyone instead of walking straight up to the teacher quietly to help her avoid embarrassment. You know, like a civilized person would.

The article is so poorly written that it isn't entirely clear who did what (e.g. did the students themselves sync the iPad and the phone, etc)

The students broke the technology agreement that they had to sign at the beginning of the year by utilizing services on the iPad that they were told not to use. The teacher should be more careful and secure her personal phone, but it's still not her fault that the students used the iPad to pull data from her device against the rules that they agreed to.

Yeah, as if a thirteen year old boy with a magical (appeared out of nowhere, after all) naked lady on his iPad's not going to show it off.

Boy you said it! First she's "topless", then she's "partially uncovered", and finally she's "nude." Well which is it? The article has her in three different states of dress (or undress if you prefer).

I'd say the teacher fails at phone security and the studnets synced to her phone, and saw the topless pic the decided to share it with their friends.

If the teaccher is in anyway a good looker (and probably even if not), the fact that 13 year old boys will share the pics with each other is not in the least bit surprising.

And this isn't worthy of the usual cries of 'won't someone think of the children' and if they do they need a smack in the side of the head

NSFW Sankaku - Cops: “We Thought An IP Was Proof Of Guilt”

Japan’s police chief has finally apologised for ruining the lives of 4 virus victims suspected of plotting mass murder, all falsely arrested on the belief that an IP address constituted irrefutable proof of guilt, and in several cases apparently coerced into admitting their guilt.

Police now admit that they made a total of 4 arrests based on their belief that IP addresses constituted a 100% guarantee of guilt after the supposed suspects starting making random threats of violence, which had actually been made by remote control after their PCs were infected with viruses.

3 of these suspects have since been released, although the 4th was already convicted and sentenced.

Top police investigators are quoted candidly admitting they were making cyber-crimes arrests without having a clue what they were doing:

“Well, we thought that if we had their IP address the investigation was basically half done. All this is totally unexpected.”

In one of the more tragic cases, police arrested a 19-year-old student at a prestigious university for threatening to kill all the children at an elementary school.

He initially denied the charges, but by the time the court had convicted and sentenced him to probation, he was on record as saying “when I saw those happy kids, I felt they had something I didn’t so I wanted to cause them trouble.”

Having presumably been coerced into signing a confession prepared by police, he was forced to quit university and probably finds his formerly promising career prospects in a shambles as a result.

Police were further humiliated when an anonymous individual claiming to have been the one controlling his PC with a virus contacted TBS to taunt them – it was only this incident which actually persuaded them to reopen the investigation and start questioning him again.

The sole piece of evidence in this case appears to be his IP attached to the threatening message and the false confession police eventually managed to wring out of him.

The chief of Japan’s National Police Agency also made a less than grovelling public apology over the arrests, saying “there is a high probability we did not arrest the real culprits.”

Given the frequency with which Japanese police employ IP addresses to bring a variety of charges, most of which not only end in a conviction but a frank confession as well, there may be a great many similar cases yet to be brought to light – to say nothing of their efforts to arrest the operators of 2ch for drug dealing, gain the power to delete any messages they see fit, and their recent success in criminalising downloads.

Wait, how does a "HIGH TECH" Crime Division function with such lackluster investigation methods? Won't the country save more by merging them with the K9 unit ? [/sarcasm]

Probably less than using the K9 unit for interogation/coertion of suspects.

I wouldn't be surprised if this ''someone'' being their current mayor; that guy's real place is in the Conservative party ( hopefully at a very low position), not at the control of the biggest city in Canada.

Sometimes, less is more.

That's certainly the thinking of the Ukrainian feminist movement Femen, best known for its bare-breasted protests in its home country. Now it has brought its self-described "sextremism" to Paris, opening its first international training camp and wasting no time attracting new recruits, causes and attention.

On a recent sunny morning, seven young women stride purposefully toward the stone facade of France's Justice Ministry. Suddenly they throw their coats to the ground. Slogans are painted across their bare bosoms; garlands decorate their hair.
