...Yahoo! Mail's rule is to keep accounts private. "The commitment Yahoo! makes to every person who signs up for an account is to treat their online activities as confidential, even after their death," says spokesman Jason Khoury. Court orders sometimes overrule that. In 2005, relatives of a Marine killed in Iraq requested access to his e‑mail account so they could make a scrapbook. When a judge sided with the family, Yahoo! copied the messages to a CD instead of turning over the account's password. Hotmail now allows family members to order a CD as long...

...slew of problems. Among them were vandalism and the lack of a fixed formula for determining what should and shouldn't be included in an encyclopedia unconstrained by physical limitations. The emerging community included a volunteer army of editors, who helped to keep the content aligned with Wikipedia's rules, the first version of which Sanger created in 2002.

...kicked off Tuesday in Japan as candidates for the Diet's upcoming elections took to the streets to canvas for votes. And while the Aug. 30 general election could be revolutionary - with Japan on the cusp of a regime change that could end nearly 54 years of virtually unbroken rule - candidates' official campaigning methods are far from it.

...bacon. People love bacon. Carnivores love it, health nuts crave it, vegetarians forswear solemn oaths for it. Dishes featuring bacon regularly get praise, even gratitude, from judges. Indeed, the power of bacon is so great, it can even overcome the do-not-rely-on-the-freezer rule: Richard Blais did well in Season 4 making bacon ice cream. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go crumble some into a sundae...
