• PRISM data-mining program was launched in  2007 with approval from special federal judges
• Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo,  YouTube, Skype, AOL and PalTalk are involved in spying program
• Details of data collection were outlined in  classified 41-slide PowerPoint presentation that was leaked by intelligence  officer
• PRISM was exposed one day after it was  revealed that NSA has been collecting telephone records of Verizon  customers
• It is largest anti-terror  intelligence-gathering operation since 9/11

By  Daily Mail Reporter

The National Security Agency and the FBI have  been pulling personal data directly from the main servers of nine top U.S. tech  giants as part of a top-secret initiative dubbed PRISM, it was revealed today.

The Washington  Post, which broke the news Thursday,  reported that for the past six years, U.S. intelligence agencies have been  extracting audio, video, photos, e-mails, documents and other information to  track people’s movements and contacts.

The Silicon Valley companies involved in the  PRISM program are Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, YouTube, Skype, AOL  and the lesser known Internet company PalTalk, which has hosted a lot of traffic  during the Arab Spring and the on-going Syrian civil war.

The revelation – the largest anti-terror  intelligence-gathering operation since 9/11 – will place massive pressure on  Obama, who is already reeling from the recent IRS scandal.

.I know what you’re doing this summer: The Obama  administration defended the order on Thursday, calling it ‘a critical tool in  protecting the nation from terrorist threats’

.Classified: The particulars of the PRISM data-mining  program have been outlined in a top-secret PowerPoint presentation for senior  intelligence analysts, which ended up being leaked

.Participants: This graph shows when each of the nine  tech companies joined PRISM, with Apple being the latest addition in October  2012

In addition to the names already on the list,  the cloud-storage service Dropbox was described as ‘coming soon’ to PRISM.

Twitter, which is known for zealously  protecting its users’ privacy, is conspicuous in its absence from the list of  Internet companies involved in the data-mining program.

PRISM was launched in 2007 with the blessing  of special federal judges under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The  Post said that several members of the U.S. Congress were made aware of the  classified data-gathering program, but were sworn to secrecy.

All forms of wiretapping of U.S. citizens by  the NSA requires a warrant from a three-judge court set up under the  Foreign  Intelligence Surveillance Act passed in 1978.

But former President George W. Bush issued an  executive order shortly after the  September 11, 2001, attacks in New York that  authorised the NSA to  monitor certain phone calls without obtaining a warrant.

The warrantless wiretapping programme  remained a secret until 2005, when a  whistleblower went to the press to reveal  the extent of the  surveillance.

.

.

And although the NSA has strenuously denied  acting beyond its surveillance powers, groups such as the American Civil  Liberties Union (ACLU) have warned that the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act  (CISPA) – a bill currently passing  through Congress – could dramatically increase the amount of personal data that  government agencies have legal access to.

The particulars of today’s revelation were  outlined in a top-secret PowerPoint presentation for senior intelligence  analysts, which ended up being leaked to The Post and Britain’s The  Guardian.

According to The Washington Post, the tech  companies are knowingly taking part in PRISM, but The Guardian reported than all  nine pleaded ignorance of the program.

In a statement issued by Google, the company  said it ‘cares deeply about the security of our users’ data. We disclose user  data to government in accordance with the law, and we review all such requests  carefully.

.

Damage control: All nine companies allegedly involved in  the spying program, among them Microsoft (left) and Apple (right), have denied  knowledge of PRISM

.

‘From time to time, people allege that we  have created a government “back door” into our systems, but Google does not have  a back door for the government to access private user data.’

Apple Inc on Thursday said it does not  provide any government agency with direct access to its servers, denying a key  aspect of a Washington Post report.
‘We have never heard of PRISM,’ Apple  spokesman Steve Dowling said. ‘We do not provide any government agency with  direct access to our servers, and any government agency requesting customer data  must get a court order.’

Asked whether Apple joined the NSA-FBI data  collection program, Apple declined to comment beyond its brief  statement.

According to the Post, PRISM has been  described by NSA officials ‘as the most prolific contributor to the president’s  Daily Brief’ and the ‘leading source of raw material.’

As a cryptolific intelligence agency of the  U.S. Department of Defense, the NSA is responsible for collecting and analyzing  foreign communications and foreign signals intelligence. However, the agency  allegedly has been using PRISM to target American Internet companies handling  the accounts of domestic users on U.S. soil.

Analysts working for the NSA would reportedly  pick out bits and pieces of data using search terms to help them zero in on  foreign targets, but it is not unusual for American content to become swept in  as well.

.

In practice, if collection managers in  the  NSA’s Special Source Operation Group, which manages PRISM, have  suspicion that  their target is a foreign national engaged in terrorism  or a spy, they move  ahead to draw in all the data from the user’s  Facebook account, email inboxes  and outboxes, and Skype conversations,  which would often net in information on  the suspect’s contacts.

The 41-slide PowerPoint presentation  outlining PRISM was leaked to the media by a career intelligence officer, which  the Post says had ‘firsthand experience with these system, and horror at their  capabilities.’

The unnamed whistle-blower reportedly said he  was driven by the desire to expose the government’s ‘gross intrusion on  privacy.’

‘They quite literally can watch your ideas  form as you type,’ the officer said.

.

.

The bombshell allegations come one day after  it was revealed that the NSA has been collecting telephone records of millions  of U.S. Verizon customers.

The Obama administration defended the order  on Thursday, calling it ‘a critical tool in protecting the nation from terrorist  threats.’

The top U.S. intelligence official denounced  the disclosure of highly secret documents Thursday and sought to set the record  straight about how the government collects intelligence about people’s telephone  and Internet use.

He said he was declassifying some aspects of  the monitoring to help Americans understand it better.

Director of National Intelligence James  Clapper called the disclosure of an Internet surveillance program  ‘reprehensible’ and said it risks Americans’ security.

He said a leak that revealed a program to  collect phone records would affect how America’s enemies behave and make it  harder to understand their intentions.

‘The unauthorized disclosure of a top secret  U.S. court document threatens potentially long-lasting and irreversible harm to  our ability to identify and respond to the many threats facing our nation,’  Clapper said in an unusual late-night statement.

At the same time, he moved to correct  misunderstandings about both programs, taking the rare step of declassifying  some details about the authority used in the phone records program and alleging  that articles about the Internet program ‘contain numerous  inaccuracies.’

He did not specify what those inaccuracies  might be.

At issue is a court order, first disclosed  Wednesday by The Guardian newspaper in Britain, that requires the communications  company Verizon to turn over on an ‘ongoing, daily basis’ the records of its  customers’ calls. Separately, The Washington Post and The Guardian reported  Thursday the existence of another program used by the NSA and FBI that scours  the nation’s main Internet companies, extracting audio, video, emails and other  information.

The washing machine, having outlived its usefulness, is put to retirement for the amusement of its owners. The first thing you may notice is that the title “Washing Machine Self Destruct” is something of a misnomer. The washing machine is not committing suicide here, it is being destroyed by outside forces. The machine itself manifests rage and desperation as its giggling overlords sentence it to bring about its own death; as you see in this next video, which borders on washing machine torture porn…

The idea is to send power directly to the washing machine’s motor, crank it up to maximum speed and then introduce foreign objects into its gaping maw. What begins as desperation on the part of the machine – “Please let me live,” it seems to beg – soon becomes an outlet for all of its hate. The drum of the machine tears itself free from its plastic shell and enjoys one final moment of genuine life before it is snuffed out. Would it fight back, given the chance? Or would it accept its fate no matter what, realising that its final moments of freedom exist only because of its doomed nature.

There are times when the machine’s masters seem less cruel, like this gentleman from New Zealand who seems almost sympathetic to the washing machine’s plight and carries out this execution with a surprising amount of professionalism…

One can hardly ignore the disappointment in his voice when the washing machine seems to fail an escape attempt. ”Ah… stopped,” he sighs. Nor can one deny the sadistic implications of his description of “intermediate carnage” before trapping the machine in a bathtub to “see if we can get some more fun.” Is this a victim-less act? Once started, is the full and complete death of the machine the only foreseeable end? Had the washing machine been successful in its attempt to escape, would this man have hunted it down?

Let us not ignore, either, the final, excruciating cry that is emitted when the drum separates from the fan belt. A scream of pain, or anguish? Or perhaps the final cry of rage and anger against the world that created and required it to destroy itself, simply by fulfilling its only function. In the next video, the same man from New Zealand extends the functions of the machine, not content to use only the spinning of the drum to bring about its demise…

As the washing machine becomes aware of its fate, it spews all the bile of its lifetime of hatred out onto the floor and drowns itself in yellow vomit. Finally, the washing machine becomes a mirror for our own anger and disenfranchisement and we see reflected our own souls raging against all of the hateful and ugly things in the world, like so.

Our short of the week comes to us from 331 Film Productions with a short titled The Heartless. It’s a post-apocalyptic short that looks really freaking fantastic. Well-done and very professional, and worthy of the 9 minute investment, I highly recommend watching the entire short. Check it out below:

In other news, there is no independent film making news to share, but if you have any that I don’t know of, leave it in the comments below!

“With The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, I wanted to do something bigger. I wanted to tell the story almost entirely from Lizzie’s perspective by her telling the story to us. It’s very unusual; there are no proven successes in this format, so it’s really a risk” – Co-creator Hank Green

What is it?

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is a fantastic, modern adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, the classic Jane Austen novel (which I love). What’s different about this telling is that it’s presented as the video log/vlog of your average American girl who happens to meet some interesting characters (Bing Lee, William Darcy and George Wickham among others) and furthermore goes on to tell some interesting stories.

It’s fantastic, funny and heartfelt. I admit I watched all of them in two days but I couldn’t help myself. My favourite episode is 98 but you should really watch the others first. It’s an excellent portrayal of all the characters and the modern take on each event is often humorous or clever. It’s really great and I’ve been re-watching my favourite moments for the past few days and it has rekindled my love for Pride and Prejudice and ended up watching the 6 hour BBC version and re-reading the book…

The details…

There are 100 episodes altogether and although most are 4-6 minutes long, these videos on YouTube are also supported by the characters social network accounts. Each character has a twitter and a Tumblr, some having lookbook and pinterest also.

Created by Hank Green and Bernie Su, with producer Jenni Powell and the several writers Margaret Dunlap, Rachel Kiley, Kate Rorick, Daryn Strauss, Anne Toole and Jay Bushman.

The episodes star professional actors including Ashley Clements as Lizzie, Julia Cho as Charlotte, Laura Spencer as Jane, Mary Kate Wiles as Lydia, Craig Frank as Fitz and Daniel Vincent Gordh as the infamous William Darcy.

If you like this…

Supposedly (according to IMDB) people that liked this, also liked Community, Modern Family and Parks and Recreation.

Overall…

Watch it. You won’t regret it.

If you somehow haven’t had quite enough of the Harlem Shake yet, you might be inclined to surf on over to YouTube and type in “Do The Harlem Shake.” And if you were to do that, YouTube’ll interpret it as a direct order, and unleash a meta-jig of its own. Can this be the final, referential nail in the viral coffin? Please?

Admittedly, it’s a clever little trick, but now that even YouTube is in on it, maybe it’s time that we—as an Internet culture—finally call it quits. Is there anything left to shake other than the very structure of our sense of humor itself? It’s done, you guys. There’s nowhere left to go. But let’s shake it out one last time.

Thanks Rosa!

The reason why I haven’t been posting much these last couple of weeks (despite having good ideas for posts) is because I’ve been working on something else that is sort of a continuation of what I do here. I’ve been experimenting with vlogging and trying to put together my own “show” for Youtube.

A lot of my time has been spent doing research into what has made other vloggers successful. I’ve also been looking a lot at the way their shows are formatted and looking at what works and what doesn’t. I figured if I could get these basic things down I could start putting together something relatively quickly. Then I had a great idea, that turned out to be not such a great idea, due to the amount of time it would take, even if the results are pretty cool. I still like the idea so I’m going to try and figure out some shortcuts first before I trash it completely.

So if you’ve been wondering why I’ve been so quiet, that’s why. Geek Ink is definitely not dead but my focus is elsewhere at the moment, and so I’m not going to be posting as often (if at all) over the next few weeks. But like the phoenix rising from the ashes, I shall return!

I watched two shows, and laughed the entire time! In their Youtube videos they discuss everything from the Kim Kardashian sex tape, to questions asked by their Twitter followers with on limits or filters.

Watch the following video as they learn what vejazzling is… HIlarious!!!

Here’s a great way to cheer someone up thru text message. This app is hilarious! Works great on iPhone and iPad!

I personally did not like the song.
The video was okay, very “glitz”, which is cool, but I don’t like the song.

BUT my opinion doesn’t matter, please be sure to tell me what you guys think!
