See if you can determine some of the redacted parts
before reading the article
at the link below.
No cheating with a mouseover on the
link!
[Redacted] is the codename for a special program
in which
NSA recieved copies of most international
[redacted] the United States between
August[redacted] and May [redacted]. Two of the
participating [redacted]
companies - [redacted] and [redacted] - provided virtually all their [redacted]
traffic to NSA. The third, [redacted], only provided
copies of certain foreign
traffic from [redacted] until
[redacted]. [Redacted] was probably the largest
governmental interception program affecting Americans ever undertaken. Although
the total number of [redacted] read
during its course is not available, NSA
estimates that in
the last two or three years of [redacted]'s existence,
about
150,000 [redacted] per month were reviewed by NSA
analysts.

I saw the incredible double act of Obama and Kerry speaking.
Thus do they all.
Possibly. But most are not using The Keystone Kops as spies.
Cosi fan tutte!

Appeals Court Hints VERY Strongly That Google
Books Is Fair Use, Even Though It Wasn't Asked About That
So, I
guess it should come as little surprise that today's ruling on the matter barely
even mentions the class action issue, other than to say that Google's argument
"may carry some force." Instead it sends the case back to the district court,
saying that it should do the fair use analysis first, suggesting that this might
make the whole question of whether or not a class should be certified entirely
moot. In other words, the Second Circuit is basically screaming to the district
court: "what Google is doing is fair use, full stop, so we're wasting time
arguing about whether or not this is a class action: just end the thing by
saying it's fair use." The ruling is short and sweet and is a huge victory for
Google. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Quickmeme was now netting the brothers around $1.6 million a
month, according to independent analytics site Worth Of Web. The traffic came
largely thanks to referral traffic from Reddit's homepage—the self proclaimed
"front page" of the Internet, which collects more than 71 million monthly
visitors. Quickmeme was a fundamental part of the Reddit ecosystem.
You
could even call the Miltzes Reddit-made millionaires.
[...]
The Miltz
brothers learned the hard way that cheating Reddit doesn’t pay.

Hypocrisy: When DC Insiders Leak Gov't Talking Points About NSA, No One Has A
Cow
If you haven't seen it yet, Glenn Greenwald gave a
fantastic speech last week about all of the NSA surveillance leaks. The whole
speech is about an hour long, but I wanted to highlight one key point, in which
Greenwald discusses how the leaks haven't just outed the NSA surveillance, but
the subservience of the DC press to the government they cover.

Despite
generating pre-tax profits of 68 million pounds ($103.6 million) during its
last fiscal year that ended in September 2012, Apple didn't pay a single dime in
taxes to U.K. authorities, The Financial Times reported Sunday, citing corporate
filings with the U.K. government. In the prior year, Apple paid 11.4 million
pounds.
So, how did Apple sidestep those taxes? According to The Financial
Times, the company awarded millions in stock awards to employees. Since those
awards are deductible, it was able to completely eliminate all of the taxes it
would have been required to pay on its profits.
Does these
generous laws apply to the average Joe?

Anything groklaw, or anyone reading groklaw can do to help Justin Carter?
In short, he made a silly, and dumb, remark on Facebook; however, since
March he is in jail, and looking at years of imprisonment in the U.S.A.
There are many mentions on the internet about this case such as this one:

constitution-charles-c-w-cooke
Shudder, it is reported that he was put in solitary confinement,

Women who took the test under someone else's name, be it male or
female, performed better than women who performed under their own name, and they
did just as well as the men. The effect was stronger for women who cared more
about maths.
By separating their performance from their own identity, it
seems the women performing under an alias no longer felt pressure to avoid being
seen as an example of the harmful gender stereotype.
