The CSIRO has highlighted the role that they’ve played in the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, including the models that they are using to help aid in locating the possible crash site.

The Wall Street Journal has a piece on an artist that is using open-source imagery to locate US military drones and their bases. Take that, US spies!
