Edward Snowden: The Untold Story | Threat Level The afternoon of our third meeting, about two weeks after our first, Snowden comes to my hotel room. I have changed locations and am now staying at the Hotel National, across the street from the Kremlin and Red Square. An icon like the Metropol, much of Russia’s history passed through its front doors at one time or another. Lenin once lived in Room 107, and the ghost of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the feared chief of the old Soviet secret police who also lived here, still haunts the hallways. But rather than the Russian secret police, it’s his old employers, the CIA and the NSA, that Snowden most fears. “If somebody’s really watching me, they’ve got a team of guys whose job is just to hack me,” he says. More than anything, Snowden fears a blunder that will destroy all the progress toward reforms for which he has sacrificed so much. Indeed, some of his fellow travelers have already committed some egregious mistakes. Nor is he optimistic that the next election will bring any meaningful reform.
The World According to DARPA The most famous name in American innovation today isn’t Apple or Google. Nor is it Facebook, Boeing, or Intel. The iconic American innovator is a government agency that neither earns a profit nor sells a single consumer product. But there’s also a deeper lesson: Less can be more. Photo: Michael Temchine/The New York Times/Redux Regina Dugan: The first female director of DARPA pushed the agency to bet on technologies that benefit society as well as the U.S. military. Since its inception as the Advanced Research Projects Agency in the late 1950s, the agency has gotten a lot of bang for its buck by placing shrewd bets on a variety of high-potential areas. During the past decade, DARPA lost its mojo. Distracted by the immediate, DARPA found itself unable to spend hundreds of millions of budgeted dollars. Three years ago, DARPA began a welcome return to its roots under the leadership of Regina Dugan, who became the first female director of the agency in July 2009. G.
Does this photo tell us what Edward Snowden stands for? No matter your political stance, the image is eye-grabbing: famed whistleblower Edward Snowden stares into the distance as he clutches an American flag to his chest, as though protecting the thing he holds most sacred. That's the picture gracing the current cover of Wired magazine and it's causing quite a stir among supporters and opponents alike of the man who pulled back the curtain on rampant NSA spying programs by fleeing the country and leaking classified documents to journalists just over a year ago. The photo was taken by world-famous photographer Platon Antoniou, whose portraits include such notable figures as Vladamir Putin and Barack Obama, and accompanies a lengthy profile of Mr. In a story detailing the context of the photo shoot, Wired editor in chief Scott Dadich writes that while he and the photo staff waited nervously in their hotel room before meeting Mr. During the photo shoot in Moscow, where Snowden currently resides in exile, Mr. Dadich writes:
Bowman (communications system) The PRC 355 radio, used at Section/Platoon level as a replacement for the Clansman PRC 351/2 Bowman is the name of the tactical communications system used by the British Armed Forces. Bowman replaced the Clansman series of radios. The concept of Bowman dates from a 1989 UK MoD General Staff Requirement (GSR) for a system to replace the ageing Clansman radio system. The GSR was subsequently modified to accommodate post Cold War scenarios. The procurement had a long and chequered history, with a number of consortia involved in the development and bidding process. Bowman’s initial operating capability was delivered into service in March 2004, it was fully rolled out across the Armed Forces by the end of 2008 and is expected to continue in service until approximately 2026. Bowman provides a tactical voice and data communications system for joint operations across the British Armed Forces in support of land and amphibious operations. The HF PRC 325 is based on the Harris 5800 model

O que está em jogo na implementação de 4G no Brasil - Telecom País precisa das novas redes para sediar a Copa do Mundo. Teles questionam as condições para compra das frequências. Edileuza Soares, da Computerworld 08 de novembro de 2011 - 07h30 página 1 de 1 inShare10 A menos de três anos para a realização da Copa do Mundo de 2014 no Brasil, um grande jogo vem sendo disputado nos bastidores sobre a infraestrutura de telecomunicações necessária para a transmissão das competições. O leilão da Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (Anatel) para venda das licenças de 4G será no próximo ano. As teles reagiram contra o cronograma e sobre o uso da faixa destinada. Durante o Futurecom 2011, o presidente da TIM, Luca Luciani, argumentou que um dos motivos de a faixa de 700 MHz ser a mais adequada é porque o volume de investimentos é cinco vezes menor do que o necessário para projetos 2,5 GHz. Oi e Vivo também defendem a adoção da faixa de 700 MHz para 4G. A Anatel não se posicionou sobre a reivindicação das teles. Impacto nos investimentos
Exército realiza teste com 4G para 'operações críticas' - TI corporativa Iniciativa demandou investimento de US$ 2 milhões e está sendo conduzida na faixa 700 MHz. Exército pede à Anatel banda de 20 MHz para "aprimorar proteção ao cidadão" em todo o Brasil O Exército Brasileiro vai iniciar, em Brasília (DF), em parceria com a Motorola, testes para melhorar a segurança na região a partir de soluções que utilizam rede LTE, ou 4G, banda larga móvel de alta velocidade. Viaturas do órgão foram equipadas com handhelds, dispositivos móveis, tablets e câmeras da fabricante para passar, em tempo real, informações não só de voz, mas de dados sobre ocorrências na cidade. Para dar suporte a operações de missão crítica [catástrofe, crimes e outras], foram instalados na capital federal três sítios com área de cobertura do Plano Piloto, da Esplanada dos Ministérios ao Centro de Comunicações a Guerra Eletrônica do Exército (CCOMGEX), mas a infraestrutura poderá ser usada por outras entidades de segurança locais. “Nosso objetivo é promover mobilidade em deslocamento.
