PRISM is a clandestine mass electronic surveillance data mining program operated by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) since 2007.[1][2][3][Notes 1] PRISM is a government code name for a data-collection effort known officially by the SIGAD US-984XN.[8][9]

PRISM began in 2007 in the wake of the passage of the Protect America Act under the Bush Administration.[10][11] The program is operated under the supervision of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court, or FISC) pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).[citation needed] Its existence was leaked six years later by NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who warned that the extent of mass data collection was far greater than the public knew and included what he characterized as "dangerous" and "criminal" activities.[12] The disclosures were published by The Guardian and The Washington Post on June 6, 2013.

A document included in the leak indicated that PRISM was "the number one source of raw intelligence used for NSA analytic reports."[13] The leaked information came to light one day after the revelation that the FISA Court had been ordering a subsidiary of telecommunications company Verizon Communications to turn over to the NSA logs tracking all of its customers' telephone calls on an ongoing daily basis.[14][15]

U.S. government officials have disputed some aspects of the Guardian and Washington Post stories and have defended the program by asserting it cannot be used on domestic targets without a warrant, that it has helped to prevent acts of terrorism, and that it receives independent oversight from the federal government's executive, judicial and legislative branches.[16][17] On June 19, 2013, U.S. President Barack Obama, during a visit to Germany, stated that the NSA's data gathering practices constitute "a circumscribed, narrow system directed at us being able to protect our people

les jardins privés ne seront pas concernés assure la Commission européenne.

Une nouvelle loi proposée par la Commission européenne souhaite l'illégalité de la pousse, la reproduction ou la vente des semences de végétaux qui n'ont pas été testées et approuvées par une nouvelle autorité (l'Agence européenne des variétés végétales). En criminalisant la culture privée de légumes, la Commission européenne remettrait le contrôle de l'approvisionnement alimentaire à des sociétés comme Monsanto.

What happened in June 2008 to Alicia Gali, a former employee of Le Méridien Al Aqah hotel, was deplorable. While the hotel worked diligently on Ms Gali’s behalf, the authorities investigated and prosecuted Ms Gali under the local laws. Additionally, the men involved were also prosecuted and each served prison terms before being deported. As for Ms. Gali’s lawsuit against the hotel, we disagree with the allegations.

The hotel management provided support and assistance to Ms Gali and her family throughout that time, including assisting with medical support and the investigation, liaising with her representative Australian embassy and coordinating and arranging affairs with her family in Australia.??Starwood’s repeated approaches to discuss Ms Gali’s claim with her attorneys have been ignored and declined. As this matter is part of an open on-going Starwood investigation and litigation commenced by Ms Gali against Starwood and the Commonwealth of Australia, we cannot comment further at this time.

The safety and security of our associates and guests continues to be a paramount priority.

Voltage Pictures, the company responsible for the movie The Hurt Locker, (as well as a million movies you've never heard of) is currently in court, attempting to get an Ontario-based internet service provider to release the names associated with over 1000 IP addresses that they claim belong to people who illegally downloaded their copyrighted material.

A 5-year-old boy who was playing with a .22-caliber rifle accidentally shot and killed his 2-year-old sister in Cumberland County on Tuesday afternoon, according to a news release from the state police.

The shooting happened just after 1 p.m. at a home on Lawson's Bottom Road.

The 2-year-old was taken to Cumberland County Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. An autopsy has been scheduled for Wednesday.

Cumberland County Coroner Gary White identified the girl as Caroline Sparks.

He said the children's mother was at home when the shooting occurred, and the gun was a gift the boy received last year.

"It's a Crickett," he said. "It's a little rifle for a kid. ...The little boy's used to shooting the little gun."

White said the gun was kept in a corner, and the family did not realize a shell had been left in it.

He said the shooting will be ruled accidental.

"Just one of those crazy accidents," White said.

Ce phénomène s'appelle la surqualification et il est plus répandu qu'on pense. Lundi, une étude réalisée par les économistes Brahim Boudarbat et Claude Montmarquette est venue quantifier le phénomène. Les deux chercheurs du CIRANO se sont concentrés sur la région de Montréal.

Selon leurs conclusions, 31,5% des travailleurs de la région de Montréal sont surqualifiés pour le poste qu'ils occupent. Autrement dit, presque un employé sur trois a reçu une formation qui lui est peu ou pas utile, que ce soit au cégep, à l'université, au secondaire ou dans une école de métier. Cette proportion est légèrement plus élevée qu'à Toronto (29,2%) ou Vancouver (29,3%).

Christopher Crist est un jeune home de 21 ans d'Indianapolis qui souhaite porter plainte contre un centre médical dentaire Low Cost de la région. Alors que Christopher venait se faire enlever seulement 2 dents, le dentiste les lui a toutes enlevées une par une, soit 32 dents au total. Christopher Crist est évidemment plutôt fâché et a fait appel à un avocat.

"The moves of the U.S. imperialists to violate the sovereignty of the DPRK and encroach upon its supreme interests have entered an extremely grave phase. Under this situation, the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu, convened an urgent operation meeting on the performance of duty of the Strategic Rocket Force of the Korean People's Army for firepower strike and finally examined and ratified a plan for firepower strike" .... crazy!

La relation entre Skype et le gouvernement chinois vient de subir un éclairage violent. Un étudiant de l’université du Nouveau-Mexique a en effet révélé que la version modifiée du client VoIP disposait de mécanismes de détection pour trouver des mots clés faisant partie d’une importante liste. Explications.

Les pirates usent fréquemment de complexes et sournois virus ainsi que de divers exploits pour passer vos sécurités et piller allègrement vos données. Toutefois, par bien des aspects, la simplicité est le secret de la réussite. Facebook affiche d’un véritable gouffre d’entrée et ne semble pas s’en inquiéter outre mesure.

Les ‘hacks’ de ce type ne manquent pas et pourtant il y a un moyen TRES simple de les contrer. Facebook devrait permettre à chaque usager de modifier sa question de sécurité. Élémentaire. Effectivement, combien de personnes sont capables de connaître ‘la rue où vous avez grandi’ ou ‘le nom de votre premier chat’ ?.

Quand l’un des inventeurs du CD déclare que sa prochaine console, censée être un véritable centre multimédia dans le salon, ne lira pas les disques compacts audio, on peut légitimement se dire que les jours du CD sont définitivement comptés…

C’est le journaliste Reiji Asakura qui relaie cette information après l’avoir appris dans une interview avec une personne de chez Sony.

Si il existe encore de nombreux audiophiles et d’amateurs préférant posséder une copie physique des musiques qu’ils se procurent, l’avenir semble se tourner définitivement vers les chansons dématérialisées.

Le fait que Sony lui-même, co-inventeur du format Compact Disc avec Philips dans les années 80, ne soutienne même plus sa lecture malgré un surcoût probablement ridicule sur la Playstation 4 est plutôt révélateur…

Pour les amateurs de CD, vous pouvez toujours vous procurer une Playstation 1. C’est paraît-il une très bonne platine à moindre coût pour les audiophiles ^^

Apple malware: it's everywhere you don't want it to be, like in your computer. Or your browser. Malware usually has something to do with Java and Java applet-based applications. This week's latest Apple malware scare is no different. Over the past few days, there have been numerous reports about the Flashback.K, Flashback.K, a Mac trojan that exploits a critical Java vulnerability.

Apple has now issued the second software update this week in order to patch the vulnerability in Java software that allowed the malware to spread to up to 600,000 Mac computers.

Le New York Times révèle que de nouvelles règles secrètes permettent désormais au président américain de disposer de tous les pouvoirs pour prévenir ou riposter à une cyberattaque de grande ampleur.

Un rapport secret sur l'utilisation du cyberarsenal américain, de plus en plus fourni, donne à Barack Obama de larges pouvoirs pour lancer des offensives préventives dès lors que les Etats-Unis disposent de preuves solides annonçant une importante attaque informatique venue de l'étranger, selon des responsables ayant participé à l'élaboration du document.

Piratages en provenance de Chine

Barack Obama n'aurait donné son feu vert au recours à des cyberarmes qu'une seule fois, au tout début de sa présidence, en ordonnant une série de cyberattaques contre les installations d'enrichissement nucléaire en Iran. Une offensive qui avait montré qu'il était possible de détruire les infrastructures d'un pays, sans bombardement ni envoi sur place de saboteurs.

C’était mieux avant ?

Tom Morris souhaite juste lire un article de presse. Sauf que la procédure pour y arriver n’est pas la même selon qu’il se trouve sur bon vieil ordinateur ou sur son clinquant smartphone (ici un iPhone).

Alors Tom Morris en a marre et nous le dit sur son blog dans un style qui ne fait pas dans la dentelle !

How we used to read the news, back in the era of the Web:

Go to newspaper website.
Click on story.
Read.

How we read news in the era of fucking stupid pointless iPhone apps.

Go to website.
Be told you aren’t allowed to read the website.
Be redirected to an App Store.
Download the app. (This may involve typing in a password. Which may involve shuffling over to your password manager app to find your password.)
Wait while a multi-megabyte file downloads over your temperamental, expensive 3G connection.
Open the app up.
Familiarise yourself with an interface that has cryptic, weird touch affordances that aren’t actually revealed to the user and behave ever so slightly differently from every other similar app.
Struggle as the badly-implemented statefulness gives you a spinning loading wheel (on iOS) or flashing progress bar (on Android) because you had the audacity to use your mobile device on a slow or unreliable connection.
Attempt to find the story you wanted to read using a layout and information architecture that’s completely different from the layout and information architecture of the website that you’ve grown familiar with, because some arsehole decided that the process of reading the electronic equivalent of a newspaper needs to be “disrupted” because he’s been reading far too much Seth Godin or some other bullshit.
Realise that the app shows you different things depending on whether it’s in landscape or portrait mode. Now you can look like an utter nob on the Tube rotating your iPad around so that you can zoom further into the Page 3 stunna’s tits.
Not be able to share the story with your friends because it’s not a page on the web with a Uniform Resource Indicator. Because why do you need universal addressability when you’ve got shiny spinny touchy magical things to rub your sweaty greasy fingers all over?
Take time to download updated binary files the next time the application is updated in the App Store, that’ll provide you “new functionality”, even though there is no fucking functionality you actually want other than reading the fucking news.
If you are on Android, be sure to install some anti-adware software in case the app comes with some delightful bit of creepy privacy-intruding out-of-app advertising.
Give up, go to newsagent, buy paper edition, throw smartphone off a fucking cliff and start a letterbomb campaign against all the idiots who thought that turning newspapers into “apps” was a good idea.

In the “web vs. apps” war, I think you can infer which side I’m on. I wouldn’t download a BBC app or an NPR app for my computer. Why would I want one on my phone? Do I buy a separate radio to listen to different stations? No. The functionality is the same, the only thing that differs is the content. Apps ought to provide some actual functionality, not just blobs of content wrapped up in binary files.

I don't need a anti-virus, I only surf in trusted site... YESSS!!!
