Google cars grabbed emails, passwords	谷歌：街景车截获邮件、密码
Google admitted for the first time its "Street View" cars around the world accidentally collected more personal data than previously disclosed -- including complete emails and passwords, Reuters reports. Google's Street View cars, which are well known for crisscrossing the globe and taking panoramic pictures of city streets, accidentally collected data from unsecured wireless networks used by residents in more than 30 countries, Google disclosed in May. "It's clear from those inspections that while most of the data is fragmentary, in some instances entire emails and URLs were captured, as well as passwords," Google Vice President of Engineering and Research Alan Eustace said in a post on Google's blog Friday. Google also said in the blog post that it hoped to delete the data as soon as possible.	路透社消息，美国谷歌公司承认，用于在全球收集街道图像的街景车意外收集了先前未公布的私人信息，其中包括私人电子邮件和密码等。谷歌在全球超过30个国家和地区利用街景车收集图像。今年5月，谷歌承认其街景车通过无线装置意外地收集过一些私人信息。谷歌负责工程和研发的副总裁艾伦·尤斯塔斯22日在谷歌博客上发帖说：“从核查结果明显看出，大部分数据是碎片；但在某些情况下，整个电子邮件、网址和密码都被截获。”谷歌表示希望尽快删除收集的信息。

Shark kills body boarder	美冲浪男被鲨鱼咬死
A surfer watched in shock as a huge shark suddenly surfaced just feet away and snatched a friend off a boogie board and dragged him to his death Friday at Surf Beach at Vandenberg Air Force Base near Santa Barbara, U.S., AFP reports citing the Los Angeles Times. Lucas Ransom, 19, died of massive injuries shortly after the shark attack. "It was very stealth," Ransom's friend Matthew Garcia said. "You would have never known there was a shark in the water.
