BANGKOK — The British government has warned airlines around the world not to allow Edward Snowden, who leaked information on top-secret U.S. government surveillance programs, to fly to the United Kingdom.
A travel alert, dated Monday on a Home Office letterhead, said carriers should deny Snowden boarding because “the individual is highly likely to be refused entry to the UK.”

In one sense, many budget smartphones aren’t budget enough; they often require some substantial financial discipline for the typical buyer. Not so Vodafone UK’s new Smart Mini: at just £50 ($78) on pay as you go service, it’s very nearly an impulse purchase. You’re even getting a bit more than you’d expect for that small cash outlay. While the 3.5-inch HVGA screen, 2MP camera, 1GHz MediaTek chip and 4GB of storage won’t floor anyone, the Smart Mini ships with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean — we’ve seen more expensive phones that carry older software. Those who like the Smart Mini’s back-to-basics proposition can pick up a black or white model today.

With his teammates having assumed responsibility for rejecting Tiago Splitter for the night, LeBron James shifted his attentions toward a more accomplished member of the San Antonio Spurs.
James impressively turned back a shot from Tim Duncan in the third quarter as the Spurs attempted to rally against the Miami Heat in Game 4 of the 2013 NBA Finals. After controlling the nifty behind-the-head pass from Manu Ginobili, Duncan shifted the ball to his right hand and rose along the base line. Before the 37-year-old could either let loose a short hook shot or get all the way to the rim for a dunk attempt, James rotated and then rose up for the block.

It is inevitable that technology and decidedly non-technological things will continue to merge as mobile devices and such become more powerful and less expensive. One such way this reality has manifested is birdsong apps, which are apps that play a specific type of bird’s song, luring them in for bird watchers or photographers to enjoy.
