Why Mozilla Was Right: GCHQ & NSA Track Cookies
Subscribe to this blog About Author Glyn Moody's look at all levels of the enterprise open source stack. Contact Author Email Glyn Twitter Profile Linked-in Profile During 2013, I've written a few articles about Mozilla's attempt to give users greater control over the cookies placed on their systems, and how the European arm of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) tried to paint this as Mozilla "undermining the openness", or "hijacking" the Internet because it dared to stand up for us in this way. The National Security Agency is secretly piggybacking on the tools that enable Internet advertisers to track consumers, using "cookies" and location data to pinpoint targets for government hacking and to bolster surveillance. The agency's internal presentation slides, provided by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, show that when companies follow consumers on the Internet to better serve them advertising, the technique opens the door for similar tracking by the government.

The US government has betrayed the internet. We need to take it back | Bruce Schneier
Government and industry have betrayed the internet, and us. By subverting the internet at every level to make it a vast, multi-layered and robust surveillance platform, the NSA has undermined a fundamental social contract. The companies that build and manage our internet infrastructure, the companies that create and sell us our hardware and software, or the companies that host our data: we can no longer trust them to be ethical internet stewards. This is not the internet the world needs, or the internet its creators envisioned. And by we, I mean the engineering community. Yes, this is primarily a political problem, a policy matter that requires political intervention. But this is also an engineering problem, and there are several things engineers can – and should – do. One, we should expose. We need to know how exactly how the NSA and other agencies are subverting routers, switches, the internet backbone, encryption technologies and cloud systems. Two, we can design.
‘Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special’ Delivers Huge Ratings For NBC
NSA and GCHQ unlock privacy and security on the internet
US and British intelligence agencies have successfully cracked much of the online encryption relied upon by hundreds of millions of people to protect the privacy of their personal data, online transactions and emails, according to top-secret documents revealed by former contractor Edward Snowden. The files show that the National Security Agency and its UK counterpart GCHQ have broadly compromised the guarantees that internet companies have given consumers to reassure them that their communications, online banking and medical records would be indecipherable to criminals or governments. The agencies, the documents reveal, have adopted a battery of methods in their systematic and ongoing assault on what they see as one of the biggest threats to their ability to access huge swathes of internet traffic – "the use of ubiquitous encryption across the internet". But security experts accused them of attacking the internet itself and the privacy of all users.
Big bucks to ensure perpetual war: The new American oligarchs | Middle East Eye
There is literally nothing about the war on terror that isn’t or hasn’t been an inside scam. From Iraq’s missing billions to no-bid government contracts that funneled nearly $40bn of taxpayer money into Dick Cheney’s Haliburton alone, America’s endless war has enriched a select few at the expense of the US Treasury - like had the investment banker titans of the 20th century, and the robber barons the century before that. Paul Krugman, a Nobel prized economist, once quipped that, “America is a country that has gone from a country that made stuff to a country that makes stuff up.” While Krugman was specifically referring to economic inequalities, the transfer of wealth from the middle class to the top, caused by Wall Street “financial engineering”, his quip could equally apply to America’s burgeoning homeland security-industrial-complex. The US federal budget now allocates more than $60bn to homeland security. NBC’s go-to-terrorism-expert guy is Evan Kohlmann.
China and Mongolia clash over how to exploit the Gobi desert
The Gobi Desert in East Asia conjures images of a remote landscape, with nomads riding across the steppe. In fact, today it is home to herders and farmers, the world’s fastest-growing economy, vast copper and gold mines and is China’s main domestic energy source. The imagined expanses and agro-pastoral livelihoods exist alongside mountains of coal, modern cities, desert agriculture and environmental challenges to its viability and future well-being. As Chinese president Xi Jingping arrives in Mongolia to discuss a series of trade and energy deals that would give Mongolia better access to global markets, it is worth looking at the shared desert that lies between Beijing and Ulaan Baatar. As the two nations work together, reconciling differences in the Gobi will be a major challenge. At 2.3m km2 the Gobi is the world’s third largest desert, covering most of Mongolia and much of northern China.
Back to the roots - My night in a Zulu village | Dreams of Freedom
Finally I’m off the plane! After almost a day of traveling, hours of waiting, too many movies and a lack of sleep, I am back on solid ground. Our guide Elmar picks us up and the trip goes on by car. For lunch we are going to the Sea Belle, a restaurant right by the beach. I’m in South Africa! We are driving along the coastline, then further into the country and my memory is fading. Tonight we will stay at the Ecabazini Zulu Cultural Village near the Albert Falls Dam. After a hot coffee, David – the owner of this place – explains the meanings of the different buildings. For dinner there is grilled beef with bread and salt, later we are given different sorts of vegetables. The fire is already started as we arrive. My cozy Zulu Hut for tonight. The view from my hut. The kitchen with an open fire. Traditional Zulu dances and singing. In Africa it get’s dark early. A night in the Zulu hut I can barely keep my eyes open so I disappear pretty quick. My sleeping place for tonight. Leave me a comment!
