Wikipedia has blocked editing rights from some computers at the US House of Representatives ins response to "disruptive" revisions of the online encyclopedia. A 10-day ban imposed Thursday blocked any editing from an IP address at the US Capitol, which is shared among a number of computers. "You have been blocked from editing for a period of 10 days for persistent disruptive editing," a  Wikipedia  posting said. The move came after unusual revisions were pointed out by  Twitter  account  @congressedits , which describes itself as "a bot that tweets anonymous Wikipedia edits that are made from IP addresses in the US Congress." The account was created by a software developer named Ed Summers. Some of the changes, which were later undone, said that John F.

notably missing in action when the rest of the world's biggest Android smartphone makers unveiled their 2014 flagships at or around the Mobile World Congress trade show. Sony, Samsung and HTC debuted largely similar products, and although each one has its own personality, it's hard to choose a single winner between the three. By waiting a few months, LG has managed to pull a trick out of its hat that none of the others did. In fact had it not been for the upstart Oppo and its new Find 7, LG would have been the first to market with a QHD (1440x2560-pixel) screen. It's a little mind-boggling that a screen resolution once reserved for gigantic, expensive workstation-class monitors is now possible on a relatively affordable pocket-sized device, so we've been dying to get our hands on LG's new top-end smartphone, the G3, for quite some time now.
