Germany's top prosecutor has dropped an investigation into the National Security Agency's surveillance of Chancellor Merkel's cell phone.
V3.co.uk is claiming that German defense minister Ursula von der Leyen is under attack by hackers, but this has yet to be corroborated in any source the author can find.

I still remember the missile that got activated but wouldn't be released because the loop in the control program had an extra semicolon.. ie "for(..); countdown();".. ;-)

The main Fefe blog (http://blog.fefe.de/ [blog.fefe.de]) is German-only, but roughly half of the newsbits he links to are in English.
Topic-wise, he's not just about IT and IT security, but about the usual national and international news too. He posts whenever incompetence leads to embarrassment or new, unimaginable levels of hopelessness are reached somewhere.
