Google: Government spying is on the rise. Duh-doi!
Google is dropping knowledge bombs that should surprise approximately no one who reads any sort of tech-geek site. They are slathering us with the tots ph33r that our government is increasing its internet surveillance. Got to catch the bad guys! Watching furry porn.
15 Year-old hacker banned from Internet for six years. HACK THE PLANET.
Some Zero Cool shit up in here. Hack the planet! Crash Override! A famous 15 year-old hacker has gotten their ass kicked off the internet for six years. What do live for? What to live for!
Somebody tried to hack the White House? Summon the Bauer.
For some reason I just sort of assumed that the White House was always getting hacked. Too much 24. Apparently it ain’t, because today this nonsense is making news. I imagine it was repelled by Kim Bauer screaming “Phoenix Shield levels dropping!” while squirting milk out of her left nipple. Just like how it goes in real life.
Head of HOMELAND SECURITY stays safe by…not using email. There is always that.
Here’s a brilliant way to keep your email secure. Don’t fucking use any! Goddamn. Why didn’t I think of that? I imagine it’d be harder to pull off if I was the head of something, though. If I had to run something enormous. Maybe a bloated off-shoot of the military industrial complex. Like, oh, shit, Homeland Security! I mean, I couldn’t possibly stay in contact with people without it. It’d be impossible. Right?
GoDaddy.com and their HOSTED SITES are down. Anonymous is all like, “we did it.”
ANONYMOUS! You dinky faces. Typically I’m down with your hijinks. However today you took down GoDaddy.com, and now a particular Furry Latex Water Sports forum where I commune with fellow misaligned souls is down. I take this as a lesson in cavorting about with meanies. I take it well.
Hacker claims to have Mitt Romney’s tax returns, wants $1 MILLI in Bitcoin. The Future, man.
This is the sort of ridiculous stuff that couldn’t have happened thirty years ago or whatever, and for that I am grateful. Bless you, Future. Bless you for your latex porn, your easily accessible music, and your wonky hacking stories.
Wikileaks exposes “TrapWire”, government spy network using regular surveillance cameras. Suffers DDoS.
Welcome to the wonderfully quiet Police State, folks. Wikileaks has expose “TrapWire”, a government program that uses ordinary surveillance cameras to spy on the reg. In response, the site has suffered a rather massive DDoS. Sadly, you know what? Shit is unnecessary. The average United States citizen don’t give no fucks, as long as they have their fried foods and reality television.
European Parliament Voting On ACTA On Wednesday; Kill The Internet Eating Serpent!
ACTA, the serpentine beast awaiting to prey on our internet privacy is going to a vote on Wednesday in the European Parliament. Here’s hoping it’s nailed to a board and thrown to sea.
Japanese Copyright Law Makes ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS A Criminal Offense
Glad I don’t live in Japan. Not that I pirate shit, or have any sorts of illegal music on my computer, but if I did I would be in trouble. Illegal downloads are now going to carry a heavy fucking penalty in Godzilla’s stomping grounds.
ACTA Getting Slapped Down In The EU, Sanity Prevailing?
You all know ACTA. Or if you don’t, you now do. There is a batch of good news regarding the fate of this secretive machination writing in treaty form. Three European Parliament committees have given the son of a bitch a slap down. Sanity, get!
