Twitter Nabs The Two Guys Behind Mobile Security Startup Whisper Systems

The team behind security startup Whisper Systems has been acq-hired by Twitter, they have?announced on their company blog this gorgeous Cyber Monday morning.

"We started Whisper Systems with the goal of improving security and privacy for mobile devices. We were attracted to this not only because we saw it as an opportunity to reinvent the security solutions that never really worked in the PC environment to begin with, but also because the stakes are much higher ? due to the nature of mobile devices themselves ? and we didn't like the way that things were looking."

As Whisper Systems consists of just two employees, Moxie Marlinspike and Stuart Anderson, this has talent acquisition written all over it. In their year of being in the business, the startup has built a variety of encryption products for Android phones and the web including WhisperCore, a product that encrypts all data on your phone and TextSecure, a product that encrypts text messages.

Gunfire erupts at NC mall as early shoppers arrive (AP)

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. ? Authorities say gunfire erupted at a North Carolina mall as holiday shoppers gathered, though there are no reports of any injuries. No evacuation was ordered, but several shoppers left the mall and some smaller stores closed.

The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office says detectives are looking for two suspects after gunfire rang out at Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville early Friday.

The first shots were fired around 2 a.m. outside the mall near a food court entrance. Investigators say several more shots were fired after one of the suspects ran inside the mall.

Investigators say no one with gunshot wounds has shown up at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center.

Black Friday kicks off the holiday shopping season, when merchants can make 25 to 40 percent of their annual revenue.

Oil hovers above $96 amid light holiday volume (AP)

SINGAPORE ? Oil prices hovered above $96 a barrel Thursday in Asia amid light trading volume ahead of a U.S. holiday.

Benchmark crude for January delivery was up 1 cent at $96.18 a barrel at midday Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.84 to settle at $96.17 in New York on Wednesday.

Brent crude for January delivery was steady at $106.70 a barrel on the ICE Futures Exchange in London.

Markets in the U.S. are closed Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Crude has fallen from above $103 last week amid investor concern the Europe debt crisis will undermine global economic growth and oil demand.

However, crude inventories have dropped in recent months in the U.S. and Europe. Crude supplies fell by 6.2 million barrels last week and are about 8 percent below year-ago levels, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said Wednesday.

"The low inventory situation has prevented oil prices from falling sharply," Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a report. "But eventually, deteriorating financial conditions could start to impact economic activity and bring oil prices somewhat lower."

Bank of America said it expects Brent crude to average $104 in the first quarter of next year.

In other Nymex trading, heating oil rose 1 cent to $2.98 per gallon and gasoline futures gained 1.2 cents to $2.53 per gallon. Natural gas was steady at $3.61 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Snowy landing for first Soyuz return since shuttle

As the sun rose over the snowy fields outside Arkalyk, Kazakhstan, it greeted three returnees from the black of space.

Surrounded by steam, the Soyuz capsule looks otherworldly as it rests on the tundra. After the landing at 8:26 am local time on November 22, workers helped the crew out of the cramped-looking capsule.

Its passengers were NASA astronaut Mike Fossum, Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergei Volkov, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, who spent five months aboard the International Space Station serving as crew for ISS Expeditions 28 and 29.

The Soyuz is the first spacecraft to return astronauts to Earth since the space shuttle was retired in July. These astronauts leave the ISS in the hands of a crew that arrived just one week ago, amid fears that the space station would be left unmanned due to safety concerns after the failed launch of a Soyuz rocket in August.
