Schweiz führt Bußgeldregelung für Kiffer ein
Cannabiskonsum wird in der Schweiz seit gestern, Dienstag, 1. Oktober 2013, mit einer Ordnungsbuße von 100 Franken (ca. 82 Euro) bestraft – unter der Voraussetzung, dass die Person mindestens 18-jährig ist und höchstens 10 g Cannabis mit sich trägt. Dies ist genau so viel, wie man bezahlen muss, wenn man ohne Fahrschein in einem Zug in der Schweiz bei der Fahrscheinkontolle angetroffen wird.

Silk Road: FBI schaltet Drogen-Handelsplattform im Tor-Netz aus
Dem FBI ist ein großer Coup im Kampf gegen den Drogenhandel gelungen: Die Ermittler konnten anscheinend den Betreiber der Silk Road – einem berüchtigten Marktplatz für Illegales – verhaften und die Seite vom Netz nehmen. Silk Road hatte angeblich rund eine Million registrierte Mitglieder. Der Dienst wurde als sogenannter Hidden Service im Tor-Netzwerk betrieben. Diese versteckten Dienste sind darauf ausgelegt, die tatsächlichen IP-Adressen der Server geheim zu halten.

Lavabit Founder Waged Privacy Fight as F.B.I. Pursued Snowden

So began a four-month tangle with law enforcement officials that would end with Mr. Levison’s shutting the business he had spent a decade building and becoming an unlikely hero of privacy advocates in their escalating battle with the government over Internet security.

Der BND ist nicht viel besser als die NSA
In den vergangenen Wochen gab es viel Kritik am amerikanischen Geheimdienst NSA. Ohne Ansehen spioniere er Menschen aus, auch Bürger seiner europäischen Verbündeten, lautet der wütende und offensichtlich berechtigte Vorwurf. Politiker in Deutschland und der Europäischen Union haben die USA dafür mehrfach kritisiert. Allerdings sitzen sie dabei in einem ziemlich großen Glashaus.
Der Bundesnachrichtendienst, um das lokale Beispiel zu nehmen, tut genau das gleiche in anderen Ländern, und er tut es in einem ziemlich ähnlichen rechtlichen Rahmen. "Die Unterschiede zwischen BND und NSA sind viel geringer, als in der Öffentlichkeit gemeinhin angenommen wird", schreiben Stefan Heumann und Ben Scott in einer Studie zu den rechtlichen Grundlagen von Internet-Überwachungsprogrammen in den USA, Großbritannien und Deutschland.

Submarine Surfaces in the Middle of a Street
Yesterday, a giant submarine has surfaced in the middle of a busy city street in Milan. People in the city were totally freaked out. My first thought was “Damn.. Italy must really be floating in the ocean.” But, then I read something about a marketing campaign. Totally killed my moment. As it turns out this was actually a publicity stunt for an Italian insurance company.

Latest 100 Gigabit Attack Is One of Internet's Largest
Quite possibly, the largest raw packet bandwidth attack in history slams a site for nine hours, but the site under attack stays afloat. Unbeknownst to many people in the world, late last week one of the largest attacks in the history of the Internet was taking place—a massive nine-hour barrage that leveled an unrelenting 100 Gigabits of traffic at its peak.

Northern Soul: Keeping The Faith
In my opinion, this is the best documentary about the Northern Soul scene to date, it's been done with love and affection. Thankfully, there is no mention of the notorious Frank Wilson 45. Most documentaries covering the music that I love make me cringe, this one gives me goosebumps.

Turn On, Boot Up, and Jack In With Timothy Leary’s Long-Lost Videogames
Timothy Leary was nothing if not an early adopter. He's best known for his starring role in the psychedelic revolution of the '60s, but in the '80s and '90s he became captivated by the transformative potential of personal computers and the Internet. Leary's archives, which have just become available to the public, are filled with digital surprises -- including MacPaint artwork by Keith Haring and several self-help programs that might be considered crude precursors to modern brain-training software.
