Online-Durchsuchung bei der Bundesregierung


Die Bundesregierung hat kürzlich zugeben müssen, dass auf zahlreichen ihrer Regierungscomputer monatelang Spionageprogramme installiert waren, die sensible Informationen ins vermutlich chinesische Ausland weiterleiteten und Datenbestände unbemerkt veränderten. Der Chaos Computer Club bedauert den dadurch entstandenen politischen Schaden, kann aber nicht umhin, auf den offenbar gewordenen eklatanten Mangel an technischem Sachverstand hinzuweisen. Der CCC fordert die Bundesregierung angesichts dieser Online-Durchsuchung Made in China auf, ihre Position zum heimlichen Ausspionieren der Bürger mit dem sog. Bundestrojaner zu überdenken.

Frog Can Fly


Two artists from Moscow are obsessed with an idea that a frog should fly too, so they make different photos of the frog in a “flight”, giving a name for each of them.

They think that “The jump of frog symbolizes thirst of flying. As genetic magic dream, about that far time, when frogs were the ANGELS”. Frankly this is the first time I hear about the link between frogs and angels…

Cappuccino Coast: The day the Pacific was whipped up into an ocean of froth


It was as if someone had poured tons of coffee and milk into the ocean, then switched on a giant blender.

Suddenly the shoreline north of Sydney were transformed into the Cappuccino Coast.

Foam swallowed an entire beach and half the nearby buildings, including the local lifeguards' centre, in a freak display of nature at Yamba in New South Wales.

One minute a group of teenage surfers were waiting to catch a wave, the next they were swallowed up in a giant bubble bath. The foam was so light that they could puff it out of their hands and watch it float away.

t's a powerful hallucinogen and a common garden herb and it's becoming a cheap way to get high on London streets.

TorrentSpy Cuts Off US Users, Rather Than Tracking Them


BitTorrent search engine TorrentSpy has been involved in a legal battle with the MPAA for some time now. The lawsuit took a slightly bizarre twist a few months back when a judge demanded that TorrentSpy start logging details about its users -- something the company had never done and had no plans to do. TorrentSpy claims that doing so will violate its users privacy and violate its own terms of service
