‘No way to safeguard your data’ from NSA | World | DW.DE | 15.01.2014
(Real news is one thing but this is nothing but something made up to look like news – an interview with a secrecy “expert” for a magazine with no sources given for his musing. If true, document it! Otherwise…)
DW: News reports say that the NSA is using a special technique in order to spy on about 100,000 computers outside the US – even if they’re offline. How is that possible?
Martin Holland: According to reports, they\’re using special implants placed on the computer components. With the help of the implants, they can conduct surveillance on those machines. The NSA sends signals to the implants, and can then find out what was done on the computer by what\’s reflected back from the device.

Living In a Gun Lobby Dystopia – NYTimes.com
The gun lobby says Americans would be safer if more “good guys” carried loaded guns in public places, and extols the benefits of an armed citizenry.
On Monday, the nation got a terrifying glimpse of how dangerous that vision really is — when a minor argument escalated into lethal violence at a movie theater in a Tampa suburb.
In this tragic episode, an irascible patron at a matinee showing of “Lone Survivor” shot a fellow audience-member because he was texting.
Without the presence of a gun, the two men might have shouted and thrown punches before theater employees arrived to stop the altercation. No one would have died.
As it is, a 43-year old father, Chad Oulson, paid for his texting with his life and his wife, Nicole Oulson, suffered a non-fatal wound — all because the retired police officer who admitted to the shooting, Curtis Reeves, couldn’t control his temper. On Tuesday, Mr. Reeves was charged with second-degree murder.
Most gun owners are not violent. Most gun owners are not criminals. But this latest shooting is a reminder that a “bad guy” with a gun is sometimes a “good guy” in a pique.
USDA Greenlights Dow’s 2,4-D Seeds | Civil Eats
C#$P! !@#$!!! Have some Agent Orange with your soy sauce and corn flakes!
Earlier this month, USDA welcomed in the new year by presenting Dow AgroSciences with a bountiful gift: A virtual green light for the pesticide company’s new genetically engineered (GE) corn and soybean seeds. These crops are designed specifically to be used with Dow’s infamous herbicide, 2,4-D.
Dow has been waiting two years for the go-ahead from USDA to start marketing its 2,4-D-resistant corn and soy. And it now appears the corporation will get what it wants, despite strong opposition from farmers, healthcare professionals and concerned communities across the country.
Agricultural scientists warn that introduction of 2,4-D resistant crops is a very bad idea, and could lead to as much as a 25-fold surge in 2,4-D use across the country over the next six years. This would result in severe damage to vulnerable crops, loss of farm businesses and harm to rural communities’ health.
