It also disclosed that Swartz, who committed suicide last week, was "in communication" with founder Julian Assange during 2010 and 2011. Wikileaks, which exposes classified information provided by anonymous sources, said it decided to reveal these details in light of the U.S. Secret Service's involvement in Swartz's case. At the time of his death, Swartz was awaiting trial for allegedly harvesting millions of scholarly articles over the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's network. He was charged with computer fraud and other cri… More About: Aaron-Swartz, wikileaks  |

The Radius is a minimalist covering that highlights the iPhone 5's design: "precise, simple and beautiful," according to its creators. Designed to look like an "X," the case's frame is made entirely out of lightweight aluminum, and comes in either slate or silver. Its four "modules," which attach to the iPhone's four corners, are available in polished aluminum, red, cyan and slate. The Radius' Kickstarter campaign ended Saturday, and raised around $56,000 -- more than double its original funding goal of $25,000. Would you use this case for your iPhone 5?

| Nasty Client Website Lets Businesses Review Customers Posted: 19 Jan 2013 12:24 PM PST
A former landscape company owner created NastyClient.com, a rating and review website that lets businesses file reports against its customers. Turning the tables on consumers, creator Matt Stachel allows owners to tell their side of the story. Sites such as Yelp or Angie's List give an open forum for consumers to rave or rant about their experiences, but platforms for business owners aren't as accessible. After dealing with his fair share of nasty clients for more than 20 years, Stachel started the site two years ago.

| Boeing 787 Dreamliner Uses the Most Flammable Battery on the Market Posted: 19 Jan 2013 10:10 AM PST
The suspension of all 50 working Dreamliners follows a Jan. 16 emergency landing by an All Nippon Airways pilot after he smelled something burning, and saw a cockpit warning light up indicating a battery problem. It turned out that one of the plane's batteries had caught fire. Investigators are working to determine why -- faulty wiring, design, system assembly, or the battery itself. In the photo above, a leaking battery is carried out of an All Nippon Airways (ANA) Boeing 787… More About: Boeing 787  |
| 100 Years of U.S. Presidential Inaugurations Posted: 19 Jan 2013 09:18 AM PST
The U.S. presidential inauguration looks a tad different than it did a century ago. In 1913, women still did not have the right to vote and Wilson rode to the Capitol in a horse-drawn carriage. And don't expect to see President Obama wearing a silk top hat like Wilson either.

| Robot Fish Swims Long Distances for Underwater Research Posted: 19 Jan 2013 08:27 AM PST
The robot is called Grace, an acronym for Gliding Robot ACE and it's equipped with sensors to gather data and measure water's temperature and quality. Grace is able to autonomously swim both by flapping its tail as well as gliding through the water. This combination lets it travel long distances. "Swimming requires constant flapping of the tail, which means the battery is constantly being discharged and typically wouldn't last more than a few hours," said Xiaobo Tan, the project's leading researcher.
