MP Seeking To Outlaw Written Accounts of Child Abuse; WD Builds High-Capacity, Helium-Filled HDDs

Editor's Note: Want to redesign Slashdot's logo (which has been kicking around basically unchanged for 15 years)? Now's your chance, at least for a little while. This October, we will be running selected readers' takes on the Slashdot logo, and you're invited to take part. Selected artists will get limited-edition Slashdot Anniversary shirts, and the month's favorite will land a slightly bigger prize, too -- a Google Nexus 7 tablet. Get all the details.
