Attackers took down Meetup's website last week, but not after giving the company a warning: for $300, an email said, it could pay to call off the attack. As it turns out, this type of extortion attempt might not be so uncommon – but websites haven't been eager to speak out.
Whether you believe in ghosts or think they're no more than fiction, you'll want to meet some of the real people who are chasing after them. Here's what it's like out in LA's ghost hunting scene, and how its newfound popularity may be bringing it down.
Researchers in France have brought a 30,000-year-old virus found frozen underground in Siberia back from the dead.

We spoke with programmer and activist Payu Harris about MazaCoin, its official Bitcoin alternative, to find out just what the new currency might mean for the Lakota.
Point-and-shoot cameras have been waning in popularity as more people switch over to their **artphones, but there's one big thing that phones just can't do: zoom. Sony goes all in with the RX10, betting that better image quality and a solid zoom lens will make for a point-and-shoot camera that people will want to carry. It turns out: Sony's bet is spot on.
A trio of developers set themselves a challenge: make six games over six months, all based off the ideas and feedback of backers on Kickstarter. They now have a half-dozen gorgeous games to show for it, but getting them made was a lot more challenging — and a lot more time c***uming — than they initially expected.
