What do Chomsky, Dio, and Google have in common?

Don’t worry this won’t take long. What do Chomsky, Dio, and Google have in common?

All three have left me feeling a loss for the world today

OOPS I DID IT AGAIN - I WARDRIVED YOUR 'HOOD
CNET – OH MY GOD GOOGLE IS SPYING ON US?!

Morons. Unless you own your email server, and only use it via secure methods, anyone listening can read your email. ANYONE. Google recently announced that it picked up some unsecured wireless data while it listened from its cars that were doing all that mapping.

Yeah I am soooo surprised. Ya know what else surprised me? OJ being guilty.

Nothing you do or say online is inherently secure. In using the internet for IRC, IM or your clown pron or whatever…everyone you request that information from has everything they need to geo-locate you. Any public post you make associating your ip address…like…say…an EMAIL will also associate you with that ip. So everyone acting like Google is being evil and infringing on your privacy rights…you’d better suck it up, because they did it on accident, most others doing so are doing it quite deliberately. Most of the internet pros have been doing this for hmmm…lessee – about as long as the internet has been in use.

Bottom Line. Stop blaming Google for privacy issues on the net. There is no privacy on the net. If you’re creeped out by anyone wardriving, please simply stop using WiFi, issue resolved.

Noam Chomsky gets barred by Israel from lecturing in Palestinian West Bank
How do you make sure that you get the entire free world riled up?

Tell Noam Chomsky he cant lecture someplace. For those of you who don’t know, Chomsky is a free-thinking badass. he teaches at MIT is on of my Top Ten Living People (sooner or later I will get this put on a page here). Anyhow, Chomsky. He’s written mountains of data on how we as humans can simplify and communicate with one another regardless of language. His lectures assume a foundation of moral and societal aptitude that I personally think would save us as a species so many problems. He’s an ultimate proponent for peace.

And Israel didn’t want him to speak. Israel gets the big finger for this one. They dropped the ball…bigtime.

And lastly…
The heavy metal genre has lost one of his most household names. Ronnie James Dio has left us.
Dio was instrumental in broadening the music industry. His attitude and music has been influencing musicians for over 40 years.
Dio, you will be remembered.

You can get a little flashback below…

Twitter got DDoSed!! FB trips up!!

So, according to CNN and a host of other media sources…someone dropped us the bomb on Twitter.

…consequentially, job related performance around the world improved by 30%…even at Twitter πŸ˜‰

The reality of it is that someone must have been REAAALLY BORED. Now…I would like to be the first to make it clear who has to be behind such atrocities πŸ˜‰

I am totally betting on the Church of Scientology. Only they could have come up with the failed logic precipitating this kind of action…well…wait..I suppose a leet group of fearless script kiddies could have been trying to find something to do…and then said…”heh…dude…watch THIS!”

…but the style is just meh.

Seriously, CNN’s link is right here…as are others…..mostly are just a bunch of media outlets jumping on the chance to speculate what happened πŸ˜‰

Needs grammar check BADLY.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2351307,00.asp
The article is entitled “Did Koobface Cause the Twitter DDoS Attack?”, but the article’s second line start with “So far, no reasons or methodologies for the attacks have surfaced.”
Ummm…yeah…heh…buhbye.

Titled…”Denial-of-service got Twitter. Is your network next?”
I don’t know…do you have a website that gets more than 44 million uniques a month?! THEN GET SCARED!!! (not really you’re not popular enough πŸ˜‰

…and….the winner is…bearing the most accuracy without grammar and unnecessary speculation is…….
THE WASHINGTON POST!!!!
“DDOS Attacks Crush Twitter, Hobble Facebook” A short, and very sweet little reminder that some 15 year olds can redefine the nature by which we define CBlocking. πŸ˜‰

Have Fun, Play Hard, but not on my swingset!

Ooooohh…wait I found humor!!!
