Grüne: Österreichs Innenminister will Handyüberwachung ohne Kontrolle


Peter Pilz, österreichischer Nationalratsabgeordneter der Grünen, schlägt Alarm: Innenminister Günther Platter (ÖVP) wolle mit einer Novelle des Sicherheitspolizeigesetzes das Abhören von Mobilfunktelefonaten ohne richterliche Kontrolle ermöglichen. Konkret geht es um den von der Regierung zur Begutachtung verschickten Entwurf eines neuen § 53 Sicherheitspolizeigesetz. In den Absatz 3a soll ein neuer dritter Satz eingefügt werden: "Ist auf Grund bestimmter Tatsachen anzunehmen, dass eine gegenwärtige Gefahr für das Leben oder die Gesundheit eines Menschen besteht, sind die Sicherheitsbehörden zur Abwehr dieser Gefahr darüber hinaus berechtigt, von den Betreibern im Mobilfunkbereich Auskunft über Standortdaten und die internationale Mobilteilnehmerkennung (IMSI) zu verlangen sowie technische Mittel zur Lokalisierung einer von einem gefährdeten Menschen mitgeführten Endeinrichtung zum Einsatz zu bringen."

mixtape 001 - DNA Lounge


I've tested it in iTunes and it seems to work fine (e.g., you'll see the song titles as the songs change) but I would be interested to know if that's all working sensibly in things that are not iTunes.

Windbelt, Cheap Generator Alternative, Set to Power Third World


Working in Haiti, Shawn Frayne, a 28-year-old inventor based in Mountain View, Calif., saw the need for small-scale wind power to juice LED lamps and radios in the homes of the poor. Conventional wind turbines don’t scale down well—there’s too much friction in the gearbox and other components. “With rotary power, there’s nothing out there that generates under 50 watts,” Frayne says. So he took a new tack, studying the way vibrations caused by the wind led to the collapse in 1940 of Washington’s Tacoma Narrows Bridge (aka Galloping Gertie).
