			<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;" class="mycode_align">ACTA – Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement is one more offensive against the sharing of culture on the Internet.<br />
<br />
ACTA is an agreement that was secretly negotiated by a small amount of countries (39 countries, including the 27 of the European Union, the United States, Japan, etc). Negotiated instead of being democratically debated, ACTA bypasses parliaments and international organizations to dictate a repressive logic dictated by the entertainment industries.<br />
<br />
ACTA would impose new criminal sanctions forcing Internet actors to monitor and censor online communications. It is thus a major threat to freedom of expression online and creates legal uncertainty for Internet companies. In the name of trademarks and patents, it would also hamper access to generic medicines in poor countries.<br />
<br />
The European Parliament now has an ultimate opportunity to reject ACTA.<br />
<br />
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/citzRjwk-sQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe><br />
<br />
What does ACTA mean for me?<br />
It is very easy, ACTA will monitor everything you do on the Internet and block everything that looks suspicious. Your ISP has to monitor all your connections, downloads, uploads and if they find out that you download a song, video, document or even a picture that is copyrighted you will get into a lot of trouble.<br />
<br />
Do you really want this? No, we don’t need this because it is our privacy to do whatever we want without having people on the other side who watch what you do everytime you do something. We already lost our privacy in the real world. Everywhere we are, are cameras and a lot of other trash that is spying on us. Origin, Steam, Microsoft and other companies spy you when you use your computer.<br />
<br />
Say NO to ACTA! Say NO to Government Spys! Say “I’M FREE!!!”<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Last sunday the Steam Forum was hacked. It was redirecting to a "Warez Site". Later the Steam Technicians shut it down to check out what was going on. It took the whole week. At the 10th Nov Gabe and his Team found out that the hackers also made it into the Database with all Steam accounts which contains passwords, credit card stuff and a lot of more.<br />
<br />
Gabe's message to all Steam users:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>Yesterday, on November 10, 2011, the following message was sent to all users via a Steam message.<br />
<br />
Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users:<br />
<br />
Our Steam forums were defaced on the evening of Sunday, November 6. We began investigating and found that the intrusion goes beyond the Steam forums.<br />
<br />
We learned that intruders obtained access to a Steam database in addition to the forums. This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still investigating.<br />
<br />
We don't have evidence of credit card misuse at this time. Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely.<br />
<br />
While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised, all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other accounts you should change those passwords as well.<br />
<br />
We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn't be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password.<br />
<br />
We will reopen the forums as soon as we can.<br />
<br />
I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience.<br />
<br />
Gabe. </blockquote>

			<description><![CDATA[don't know if this news has already been posted, sorry if it has been.  this video is very graphic and sad so I am warning you, I cried my eyes out first time I saw it.  I first saw it on Oddle and that site said this went on for 10 minutes and nobody stopped to help.  The toddler was just lying there in a pool of blood and you can see in the video that she is still moving.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="color: red;" class="mycode_color">WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT</span></span> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gdjOLAGXIM" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gdjOLAGXIM</a><br />
<br />
This happened in some city in China, after I saw this video I just started Googling China and found out some interesting stuff.  Like many people say China hates women and prefers men, there are traditions they have like aborting baby girls is normal.  Well I don't know if any of that is true and I hope not but just want to know your opinions.  I thought China was known for strong women because they prefer to continue their education rather than marry off fast and have kids.<hr class="mycode_hr" />
Just found another site with more information about how the child is doing and the drivers who ran her over.<br />

Point taken. This is a fire, that I wondered what took so long to start, in the US. It's composed of a diversity of people. There is no one political persuasion. People are just tired of the pain, coming from all directions.<br />

Attention citizens of the world,<br />
<br />
We wish to get your attention, hoping you heed the warnings as follows:<br />
Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed. If you are a willing hacktivist or a guy who just wants to protect the freedom of information then join the cause and kill facebook for the sake of your own privacy.<br />
<br />
Facebook has been selling information to government agencies and giving clandestine access to information security firms so that they can spy on people from all around the world. Some of these so-called whitehat infosec firms are working for authoritarian governments, such as those of Egypt and Syria.<br />
<br />
Everything you do on Facebook stays on Facebook regardless of your "privacy" settings, and deleting your account is impossible, even if you "delete" your account, all your personal info stays on Facebook and can be recovered at any time. Changing the privacy settings to make your Facebook account more "private" is also a delusion. Facebook knows more about you than your family. <a href="http://www.physorg.com/news170614271.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://www.physorg.com/news170614271.html</a> <a href="http://itgrunts.com/2010/10/07/facebook-steals-numbers-and-data-from-your-iph" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://itgrunts.com/2010/10/07/facebook-...m-your-iph</a>....<br />
<br />
You cannot hide from the reality in which you, the people of the internet, live in. Facebook is the opposite of the Antisec cause. You are not safe from them nor from any government. One day you will look back on this and realise what we have done here is right, you will thank the rulers of the internet, we are not harming you but saving you.<br />
<br />
The riots are underway. It is not a battle over the future of privacy and publicity. It is a battle for choice and informed consent. It's unfolding because people are being raped, tickled, molested, and confused into doing things where they don't understand the consequences. Facebook keeps saying that it gives users choices, but that is completely false. It gives users the illusion of and hides the details away from them "for their own good" while they then make millions off of you. When a service is "free," it really means they're making money off of you and your information.<br />
<br />
Think for a while and prepare for a day that will go down in history. November 5 2011, #opfacebook . Engaged.<br />
<br />
This is our world now. We exist without nationality, without religious bias. We have the right to not be surveilled, not be stalked, and not be used for profit. We have the right to not live as slaves.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A US man charged with sending more than 27 million spam messages to Facebook users has turned himself in.<br />
<br />
Sanford Wallace, who is known as the "Spam King", surrendered to FBI agents in California.<br />
<br />
Prosecutors allege he developed a program that breached Facebook spam filters and lured users to submit their account details.<br />
<br />
Mr Wallace denies the charges, which carry prison sentences of up to 10 years.<br />
<br />
He has been released on &#36;100,000 (£61,000) bail.<br />
<br />
Prosecutors say Mr Wallace's program posted messages on Facebook users walls - purportedly from friends - urging users to visit a website where their account details were then harvested.<br />
<br />
They were then redirected to an affiliate website that earned Wallace "substantial revenue", the charges say.<br />
<br />
The program also retrieved lists of Facebook users' friends and posted spam messages on their walls, the indictment adds.<br />
<br />
About 500,000 Facebook accounts were compromised between November 2008 and March 2009, leading to more than 27 million spam messages being sent, prosecutors said.<br />
<br />
Mr Wallace, who is from Las Vegas, is charged with six counts of electronic mail fraud, three counts of intentional damage to a protected computer and two counts of criminal contempt.<br />
<br />
Facebook sued Mr Wallace in 2009 and a federal judge ordered him not to access Facebook's computer network. However, prosecutors say he repeatedly violated that order earlier this year.<br />
<br />
Mr Wallace also lost a civil case brought against him by MySpace in 2008 over junk messages sent to members of the social networking site.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A military helicopter was shot down in eastern Afghanistan, killing 31 U.S. special operation troops, most of them from the elite Navy SEALs unit that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, along with seven Afghan commandos. It was the deadliest single incident for American forces in the decade-long war.<br />
<br />
The Taliban claimed they downed the helicopter with rocket fire while it was taking part in a raid on a house where insurgents were gathered in the province of Wardak late Friday. It said wreckage of the craft was strewn at the scene. A senior U.S. administration official in Washington said the craft was apparently shot down by insurgents. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the crash is still being investigated.<br />
<br />
NATO confirmed the overnight crash took place and that there "was enemy activity in the area." But it said it was still investigating the cause and conducting a recovery operation at the site. It did not release details or casualty figures.<br />
<br />
"We are in the process of accessing the facts," said U.S. Air Force Capt. Justin Brockhoff, a NATO spokesman.<br />
<br />
One current and one former U.S. official said that the dead included more than 20 Navy SEALs from SEAL Team Six, the unit that carried out the raid in Pakistan in May that killed bin Laden. They were being flown by acrew of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because families are still being notified.<br />
<br />
President Barack Obama mourned the deaths of the American troops, saying in a statement that the crash serves as a reminder of the "extraordinary sacrifices" being made by the U.S. military and its families. He said he also mourned "the Afghans who died alongside our troops."<br />
<br />
The death toll would surpass the worst single day loss of life for the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan since the war began in 2001 — the June 28, 2005 downing of a military helicopter in eastern Kunar province. In that incident, 16 Navy SEALs and Army special operations troops were killed when their craft was shot down while on a mission to rescue four SEALs under attack by the Taliban. Three of the SEALs being rescued were also killed and the fourth wounded. It was the highest one-day death toll for the Navy Special Warfare personnel since World War II.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>[quote]NASA scientists said Thursday they have discovered the strongest evidence yet that there could be water on Mars.<br />
<br />
Using the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists were able to capture images of tell-tale signs of water within a crater called Newton, located at Mars' equator near its southern hemisphere.<br />
<br />
The images detail depressions and scratch like markings that indicate there is water flow currently on the red planet.<br />
<br />
"The best explanation for these observations so far is the flow of briny water," said Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona, lead author of the report published in Thursday's edition of Science journal.<br />
<br />
Scientists have also discovered that the evidence of the purported water seems to disappear in the winter and come back in the spring, suggesting that Mars only has flowing water in its warmer summer months.<br />
<br />
Compared to Earth, Mars is 50 million miles farther from the sun, with significantly lower average temperatures. Water has been confirmed on Mars since 2002, but it was discovered frozen at its polar caps.<br />
<br />
The locations that have been explored are Mars' most prime locations for liquid water. While summer highs can reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit at the equator, average temperatures are significantly lower, but still in a range that could allow for flowing water, about 32 degrees Fahrenheit for noon highs to -75 degrees Fahrenheit for overnight lows.<br />
<br />
"We know Mars has a lot of ice, but this is the first time we've seen the potential for liquid water," said Arizona State University geophysicist Phil Christensen.<br />
<br />
"What makes these new observations so interesting is they occur at much lower latitudes [closer to the equator], where temperatures are much warmer and where it’s actually possible for liquid water to exist."<br />
<br />
According to the research team, seven possible water flow locations have been confirmed, with the possibility of up to 30 more. Some locations may have up to 1,000 separate waterways.<br />
<br />
McEwen reminds that the discovery is not definitive proof that there is flowing water on Mars, but it is the best explanation.<br />
<br />
"We haven't found any good way to explain what we're seeing without water," he said.<br />
<br />
"I think it’s going to be laboratory experiments on Earth that give us the best confirmation or refutation."<br />
<br />
The discovery has renewed NASA's interest in Mars in the wake of the recent conclusion of its 30-year space shuttle program. Plans to build a spacecraft after to transport humans to Mars by 2030 are already in the works.</blockquote>

			<description><![CDATA[<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>Seventy-two people have been charged with participating in an international child abuse network that prosecutors say used an online bulletin board called Dreamboard to trade tens of thousands of images and videos of sexually abused children.<br />
<br />
Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland security secretary Janet Napolitano said on Wednesday that a 20-month law enforcement effort called Operation Delego targeted more than 600 Dreamboard members around the world for allegedly participating in the private, members-only internet club created to promote paedophilia.<br />
<br />
Numerous participants in the network sexually abused children ages 12 and under, produced images and video of the abuse and then shared it with other club members, according to court papers released in the case.<br />
<br />
Of the 72 charged in the United States, 43 have been arrested there, and nine in other countries. Another 20 are known to authorities only by their internet names and remain at large.<br />
<br />
Authorities have arrested people in 13 other countries Canada, Denmark, Ecuador, France, Germany, Hungary, Kenya, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Qatar, Serbia, Sweden and Switzerland, but some of those were arrested on local rather than the US charges.<br />
<br />
At a news conference at the Justice Department, the attorney general called the criminal activity a "nightmare for the children" and said that some of the children featured in the images and videos were just infants.<br />
<br />
In many cases, the children being victimised were in obvious, and intentional, pain – just as the rules for one area of the bulletin board mandated, the attorney general said.<br />
<br />
Napolitano said the amount of child abuse material swapped by participants in the network was massive, the equivalent to 16,000 DVDs.<br />
<br />
To conceal their conduct, members used screen names rather than actual names and accessed the bulletin board via proxy servers, with internet traffic routed through other computers to disguise a user's location, according to the court papers.<br />
<br />
Participants were required to continually upload images of child sexual abuse to maintain their membership.<br />
<br />
Participants who molested children and created new images of child abuse were placed in a "Super VIP" category that gave them access to the entire quantity of child abuse on the bulletin board, the court papers stated.<br />
<br />
A "super hardcore" section of the bulletin board was limited to posts showing adults having violent sexual intercourse with "very young kids" subjected to physical and sexual abuse.</blockquote>
