Remember that axiom of science and geekdom: If you can't think of a way to misuse the technology, someone else certainly will. Consider: The technology already exists – they are merely giving YOU the ability to turn it on. Want to bet that NSA never knew you could do this?

"Twitter developers are now working on a location-based API that will provide accurate information on your whereabouts. Developers will be able to add latitude and longitude to any tweet. The option will definitely be opt-in. Folks will need to activate this new feature by choice, and the exact location data won't be stored for an extended period of time."

Global Warming! Global Warming! I admit I don't understand this at all. Apparently the more sunspots (cooler areas on the sun) the more heat the sun delivers. If these guys are correct, we're in for a major cool down.
Sunspots May Be Different During This Solar Minimum

"According to Bill Livingston and Matt Penn of the National Solar Observatory in Tucson, Arizona, sunspot magnetic fields are waning. The two respected solar astronomers have been measuring solar magnetism since 1992. Their technique is based on Zeeman splitting of infrared spectral lines in radiation emitted by iron atoms in the vicinity of sunspots. Extrapolating their data (PDF) into the future suggests that sunspots could completely disappear within decades."
To motivate their interest the researchers mention the Maunder Minimum, which occurred beginning in 1645 and coincided with the coldest part of the so-called "Little Ice Age." Sunspot counts during this period were as low as 1/1,000 of the numbers seen in modern times.
