We know there are spies on Facebook, but worms too? A security firm warns that a computer worm has stolen 45,000 login credentials from Facebook, mostly from Facebook accounts in the UK and France. The same worm has been around since 2010 and is also responsible for stealing data from bank accounts.

Earlier attempts to make things invisible involved "spatial cloaking," bending light around an object in a way that makes it disappear from view.

What other people are doing in space, we can do it in time."
