<description><![CDATA[For some reason, I am reminded of Eric Schmidt's dictum.You know, the one that went something like: &quot;If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.&quot;It comes to mind because someone whose motivations seem slightly troubling has taken it upon himself to be the Julian Assange of porn.For there now exists a site called PornWikiLeaks, on which, as you might be able to imagine, certain intimate details of porn stars are displayed for all to see.The site doesn't display diplomatic messages from one porn star to another. Instead, it attempts to offer a comprehensive revelation of who these stars really are.Some of you might be familiar with many of the more famous brands in porn: stars like Sacha Grey, who has stretched her abilities beyond matters of the skin into fine mainstream works of art such as &quot;The Girlfriend Experience&quot; and &quot;Entourage.&quot;(Credit:Screenshot: Chris Matyszczyk/CNET)However, many of those who earn an often meager income from their carnal knowledge don't really want their neighbors to know what they do to pay the rent. Moreover, some have left the industry in order to become elementary school teachers or accountants.So one can only imagine that when PornWikiLeaks reveals not merely their real name, but also address, pictures of their family, and phone numbers, they might just be a little upset.Which might make some wonder why someone would choose to do this. The Daily Beast offered an interview with the man who claims to be behind the site.His motivations seem, at best, to be twisted beyond repair. For example, he told the Beast he did it to &quot;get the gays out of straight porn and illegal gay pimps that have ruined porn and shut it down making condoms mandatory by the government now.&quot;The site itself also reflects this ranting, hateful lexicon. Even though its mission statement seems remarkably similar to that of Julian Assange and friends.There is also a suggestion that it is the creator's intention to reveal the STD status of every single porn star, although this hasn't actually happened yet.But where did PornWikiLeaks get this information At least some of the leaked data may have come from a database at AIM Medical Associates, a company that routinely tests porn stars for STDs. AIM told NBC Los Angeles that it is investigating. However, PornWikiLeaks has been going since December, so the investigation might simply be related to the sudden publicity the site is enjoying.Still, AIM believes it has been violated just as much as the U.S. government. Its spokeswoman, Jennifer Miller, told the Beast: &quot;I can't stress enough, we're victims of a crime. Just like the Pentagon and the FBI, we have been victimized and hacked. We are investigating and we will press all charges.&quot;The porn industry is undergoing considerable changes, especially with the huge proliferation of free online porn. Will the existence of PornWikiLeaks make some think twice about their chosen means of making moneyOr is the expectation now entirely reasonable that anything you do, anywhere, at any time could--at any moment--be revealed online for all the world to see, know, and, of course, judge<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Home solar startup SolarCity is expanding its reach to the East Coast. To establish a toehold there, it has acquired solar installation expert Clean Currents Solar, formerly the solar installation division of a Mid-Atlantic green energy company.The company will begin offering home solar leases and power purchase plans in Maryland and Washington, D.C. by mid-February. The company could consider more Atlantic acquisitions &amp;''if there&amp;'s a clear growth story,&amp;'' CEO Lyndon Rive told Bloomberg this morning. The company is hiring for its East Coast operations in Silver Spring, Maryland, putting an emphasis on doubling sales in the first year.Home solar startups like SolarCity primarily started out in California but are expanding as the solar leasing model grows in popularity and success. SunRun announced last year it would enter the Hawaiian market, while Sungevity said its new round of capital would allow it to expand, potentially to the northeast.Solar City has perhaps the broadest offering among home solar startups, with solar leases, installation and home energy efficiency solutions and says it pioneered the zero-down solar leasing model. Its competitor, SunRun, says it pioneered the solar leasing model, in which homeowners lease solar panels and pay for power generated by the panels &amp;8212' aided by subsidies and clever financing, the total comes out to equal or less than what traditional utilities charge.Next Story: FunGoPlay launches virtual-world sports, real-world sports gear for kids Previous Story: Outfit7&amp;'s Talking Friends hits 60M downloads on App StorePrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Solar, solar leasingCompanies: Clean Currents Solar, SolarCity, Sungevity, SunrunPeople: Lyndon Rive          Tags: Solar, solar leasingCompanies: Clean Currents Solar, SolarCity, Sungevity, SunrunPeople: Lyndon RiveIris Kuo is the VentureBeat's lead GreenBeat writer.

<description><![CDATA[We&amp;'re still awaiting official numbers on Verizon iPhone sales, but according to leaked sales data they didn&amp;'t meet expectations, the mobile news site Boy Genius Report reveals.BGR was given sales totals from five Apple stores (including &amp;''two very, very prominent&amp;'' stores) for the first five days of the Verizon iPhone&amp;'s availability. While the Verizon iPhone started with a big lead on its February 10 launch day (909 sales versus AT&amp;amp'T&amp;'s 539), that slowly narrowed over the next few days to a slight lead (711 Verizon iPhone&amp;'s sold on Monday Feb. 14, versus 618 AT&amp;amp'T units).Given all of the hype surrounding the Verizon iPhone (which, admittedly, we contributed to), many expected it to outsell its AT&amp;amp'T counterpart to a greater degree. Still, this data is only from five stores &amp;8212' the nationwide outlook could be significantly different (although the lack of long lines during the Verizon iPhone&amp;'s launch was somewhat telling).Here&amp;'s the full sales data leaked to BGR (again, just from 5 Apple stores):The site also reports that preorders for the Verizon iPhone, which sold out in less than 24 hours after being made available, accounted for about 550,000 units. Just two early morning hours of Verizon iPhone preordering ended up breaking the carrier&amp;'s first day sales records.BGR also had some updated statistics to report: 30 percent of Verizon iPhone buyers came from Android, 25 percent came from BlackBerry, and only 14 percent jumped from the AT&amp;amp'T iPhone.Next Story: LVestus grabs $750M for no-money-down geothermal Previous Story: EcoATM nabs $14.4M to build electronics-recycling kiosksPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: iOS, iPhone 4, sales, smartphones, Verizon iPhoneCompanies: Apple, AT&amp;amp'T, Verizon, Verizon WirelessPeople: Dan Mead          Tags: iOS, iPhone 4, sales, smartphones, Verizon iPhoneCompanies: Apple, AT&amp;amp'T, Verizon, Verizon WirelessPeople: Dan MeadDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.
