A 30 ton transformer in the Large Hadron Collider malfunctioned, requiring complete replacement on the day the LHC came online. No one at CERN reported any problems, and they only released this data once the Associated Press sent people to investigate rumors of problems. I guess its hard to just sweep a 30 ton transformer breaking under the rug.

On slashdot we saw a previous mention of MediaDefender setting up a site to catch movie pirates. Arstechnica covers the response from MediaDefender, which basically states the entire thing was a mistake and was only an internal site they forgot to password protect, and that they were not using this with the **AA. On a side note, if anyone here still has a copy of the download, the Ars team has expressed an interest in looking at it! Send it to them if you can!
