BND infiltrierte Tausende Computer im Ausland
Der Bundesnachrichtendienst hat offenbar in großem Umfang die Online-Durchsuchung zur Spionage angewandt und dadurch geheime Daten abgefangen. Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen wurden in den vergangenen Jahren 2500 Mal Computer im Ausland infiltriert.
Hackerangriffe im Auftrag der Bundesregierung sind kein Einzelfall. Nach Informationen des SPIEGEL hat der Geheimdienst BND in den vergangenen Jahren in mindestens 2500 Fällen PCs im Ausland durchsucht. Dabei seien zum Teil Festplatteninhalte heimlich kopiert und nach Pullach übermittelt worden. In anderen Operationen wurden BND-internen Informationen zufolge sogenannte Keylogger installiert, mit denen Tastatureingaben mitverfolgt und dadurch Passwörter für E-Mailfächer gewonnen werden können.

Nestle Sues Company That Came Up A Product 15 Years Before Nestle Patented It...
Today's story of patent insanity comes to us courtesy of Wysong, a small natural pet foods company that came up with a method to put probiotics in foods in the early 80s. The company used the technique to sell pet food biscuits that supposedly have certain health benefits. As its products became more popular, the company saw copycats come into the market, but figured it helped everyone (including the pets), and there was nothing wrong with that. Then... fifteen years later, Nestle, the owner of Purina, happened to patent the very same process and, a few years later, sued Wysong, demanding royalties all the way back to when it got its patent.

Monsanto's Many Attempts to Destroy All Seeds but Their Own
Some say that if farmers don’t want problems from Monsanto, they simply shouldn’t buy Monsanto’s GMO seeds. But it isn’t quite that simple. Monsanto contaminates the fields, trespasses onto the land taking samples, and then sues, saying they own the crop.

Computer Data Storage Through the Ages -- From Punch Cards to Blu-Ray
Your next build may very well come configured with dual-SSD drives in a RAID 0 array for the OS, a gluttonous 2TB SATA HDD for storage duties, and a Blu-ray optical drive for movie watching and HD backups. And for quick transfers from one rig to another, does it get any sweeter than a 64GB USB thumb drive loaded with all of your favorite apps? Such a storage scheme is certainly worthy of dream machine status, but our storage options weren't always as fanciful, fast, and fat as they are today. Some of you may remember toting a 3.5-inch floppy to and from school, while others hearken all the way back to cassette tapes. And if you've lived long enough to remember the IBM Punch Card first hand, just ask and we'll SPEAK LOUDER.

Tosca - My First
'No Hassle' is the new album by Viennese soundscape masters Tosca. Forefathers of the nu-Balearic/cosmic scene of artists such as Studio, Quiet Village, A Mountain Of One and Windsurf; Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber have produced their most magical and mesmerizing album yet. A luxurious tapestry of analogue and digital sounds, submerged samples and live instruments; 'No Hassle' evolves and expands into an hour-long ambient symphony. The title reflects not only the duo's laid back approach to making music but their whole philosophy of life.
Multi-instrumentalists Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber have been friends since their Vienna schooldays, when they founded their first experimental band, Dehli 9. Richard later became half of the globally acclaimed DJ-producer duo Kruder and Dorfmeister, while Rupert worked in piano composition, sound-art installation and acoustic networks. The duo rediscovered their musical chemistry again with their Tosca debut, the 1994 12" 'Chocolate Elvis'; a string of highly praised albums and remix collections followed.

Österreichs Journalisten: Sie ticken anders
Österreichische Journalisten nehmen besonders gerne Einfluss auf die politische Agenda und neigen zu einer spezifisch österreichischen Form des Kampagnenjournalismus. Sie halten sich deshalb trotzdem für besonders kritische Aufklärer.
