NSA has direct access to tech giants' systems for user data, secret files reveal The National Security Agency has obtained direct access to the systems of Google, Facebook, Apple and other US internet giants, according to a top secret document obtained by the Guardian. The NSA access is part of a previously undisclosed program called Prism, which allows officials to collect material including search history, the content of emails, file transfers and live chats, the document says. The Guardian has verified the authenticity of the document, a 41-slide PowerPoint presentation – classified as top secret with no distribution to foreign allies – which was apparently used to train intelligence operatives on the capabilities of the program. The document claims "collection directly from the servers" of major US service providers. Although the presentation claims the program is run with the assistance of the companies, all those who responded to a Guardian request for comment on Thursday denied knowledge of any such program. An Apple spokesman said it had "never heard" of Prism.

EEUU 'espía' a través de los servidores de Apple, Google o Facebook | Estados Unidos El Gobierno de Barack Obama no sólo tiene información sensible de millones de llamadas telefónicas, también tiene acceso directo a los datos y a los servidores de todopoderosas empresas de Internet como Google, Facebook o Apple. Una presentación en Powepoint de la Agencia de Seguridad Nacional (NSA) a la que ha tenido acceso los diarios 'The Guardian' y 'The Washington Post' probaría el control de EEUU sobre el contenido de determinados e-mails, fotografías, vídeos conversaciones de chat o transferencia de archivos. El director de la NSA, James Clapper ha afirmado que este tipo de informaciones amenazan la seguridad nacional. Aunque el documento -clasificado como 'top secret- especifica que las operaciones de control de los servidores cuentan con la aprobación y colaboración de las empresas 'espiadas', el periódico inglés subraya que las compañías con las que ha contactado desconocen por completo estas tareas de la NSA a través de un programa bautizado como PRISM.

Exciting MIT droplet discovery could turbocharge power plants, airships and more Top engineers at MIT say they have come across a handy effect which could seriously boost the efficiency of a critical piece of kit used in many important technologies. The piece of kit in question is the humble water condenser, which has been in use for hundreds of years: James Watt introduced it to the earliest steam engines, turning them from inefficient curiosities to the motors which powered the Industrial Revolution. Today, condensers are critical to the functioning of most powerplants - and if they can be made better, they could greatly strengthen the case for the reintroduction of airships. In essence, a condenser works by exposing steam to a cold surface. In a powerplant, the condenser is attached to the exhaust end of the turbines which drive the generators. What the MIT boffins have found is a way of getting water droplets to jump off the cold pipes in the condenser and fall into the sump more quickly than they otherwise would, clearing room for new droplets to form.

Google: There Is No PRISM Back Door To Our Servers, No Open-Ended Access To User Data - TechCrunch All of the companies that are allegedly involved in the PRISM surveillance program have now issued short statements saying that they are not participating in this program and that they are not allowing the government “direct access” to their servers. Among these, of course, is Google. The company, however, also just issued a longer statement penned by its CEO Larry Page and Chief Legal Officer David Drummond. In it, Page and Drummond argue, just like in the company’s shorter statement, that Google does not give the U.S. government “direct access or a ‘back door’ to the information stored in our data centers.” Indeed, just like Apple, Google claims that it “had not heard of a program called PRISM until yesterday.” Google also argues that it had never heard of a broad type of order like the one Verizon apparently received and which led to the release of millions of call records.

Virtual Retinal Display beams images onto your eyeballs by Geoff Gasior — 10:22 AM on October 14, 2013 Everyone seems to be pretty excited about the Oculus Rift VR headset. The folks at Avegant are working on an even more intriguing head-mounted display. Dubbed the Virtual Retinal Display, the headset eschews LCD screens in favor of a micro-mirror array that beams reflected light directly into the eyes. Avegant CEO Ed Tang spoke to CNet about the technology, which purportedly eliminates eye strain while also producing more realistic images than traditional LCDs. The current prototype offers a resolution of 1280x800 per eye, but the perceived resolution is supposedly much higher. Somewhat surprisingly, gaming isn't Avegant's focus. Although the existing versions of the Virtual Retinal Display look a little funky, a more polished, consumer-oriented product is set to debut in the first quarter of next year.
