Afghan President Hamid Karzai has confirmed his office received money from the CIA

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has confirmed his office received money from the CIA after a report in the New York Times said the U.S. intelligence agency delivered tens of millions of dollars in cash to him in suitcases, backpacks, and plastic shopping bags over the past decade.

All that money from undisputed legal origins, of course...

Microsoft takes a dig at Samsung and Apple users in new ad
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, April 29 2013 @ 12:41 PM EDT

Well the latest ad coming from Redmond is dubbed Don’t fight and sarcastically portrays Samsung and Apple’s fans as bickering fanboys, who just love to promote their favorite brands and bash their opponents.

One Year Later, the Results of Tor Books UK Going DRM-Free

On e Year Later, the Results of Tor Books UK Going DRM-Free
We had discussions with our authors before we made the move and we considered very carefully the two key concerns for any publisher when stripping out the DRM from ebooks: copyright protection and territoriality of sales. Protecting our author’s intellectual copyright will always be of a key concern to us and we have very stringent anti- piracy controls in place. But DRM-protected titles are still subject to piracy, and we believe a great majority of readers are just as against piracy as publishers are, understanding that piracy impacts on an author’s ability to earn an income from their creative work. As it is, we’ve seen no discernible increase in piracy on any of our titles, despite them being DRM-free for nearly a year.

Opera Claims...
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, April 29 2013 @ 05:33 PM EDT
I love the quote from Opera's lawyer, Bing Hodneland Advokatselskap, that states:

...Opera chooses not to comment on the case in detail.

The rest of the quote goes into some detail.

Alert: We are wiretapping you!

Proposal to fine tech companies for not wire-tapping peer-to-peer communications

It would be trivial to add a feature that detects when the encrypted communication is routed through Google's (or Facebook's) servers, instead of going directly via the peer-to-peer channel to the client. Google might as well attach a "you are being wire-tapped" indicator to the application itself. Anyone running any kind of IP-traffic monitoring tool will know as soon as the peer-to-peer conversation is redirected from the unusual traffic activity.

Spain's Extremadura starts switch of 40,000 government PCs to open source

¡Olé!

T he €30M is significant, but pales in comparison to the added security benefits. That alone would be worth the switch.
