Basically, GIS rocks.
The story linked above is about how violence and human rights violations in Myanmar can be tracked using satellite imaging, or "remote sensing" as it's usually called by those who use GIS (geographic information systems/science). Anyway, it's just fucking cool and why I heart maps. I mean, this is a complete tragedy and disgrace - but I like the idea of, somehow, technology and human ingenuity making life harder for dirt bags like this. Hell, I *love* the idea. Another win for progress and reason!
