ANON Got Raided

35 search warrants issued. 16 arrests.
There is a large amount of blame on ANON for a lot of things.
I will not state the blame, because I do not know their level of guilt and will not accuse them.

I do know that back in the day, there was what we called a “script kiddy”. and the script kiddies fell pray to real hackers.
So just as easily, one of these people arrested, could have been using a script they got from the internet somewhere, and did not know that someone was either spoofing their I.P. address while doing something worse, or using their computer remotely for attacks. There is no telling what all is bundled in that dang script. This leaves the script kiddy with hacking software on his computer and no chance to pass a lie detector if asked if he committed a crime. This leaves the Script kiddy guilty of a crime and no proof that he didn’t commit the crime he is accused of. It would take a more thorough investigation than what I think our government is willing to perform. It would be up to the script kiddy to fund that investigation. If he can not afford it, tough luck.


This is one of the issues I try to point out all of the time. Don’t mess with it until you have thought it all the way through.
Now there will be no Anon. and who knows, we might really need these guys some day. I think we will but they won’t be anywhere to be found.

There’s no saying if the whole Rupert Murdoch is just a scrambled master Plan(t) and eventual frame up, because what he is accused of, and what ANON claims they busted him of, is exactly what they do. It’s like a crack head pointing at a guy laying knocked out and telling the cops “look he has crack” who says the crack head didn’t chunk the crack there when he saw the police???? on another note Rupert Murdoch’s wife got attacked and it looks like all of the guys near her just stood there with a look like a grumpy old lady scowling over a cup of tea. No one helped Wendy Murdoch . She took care of it all, all by herself. Most of the news out is exaggerating the moment, but she did take care of it.

Well people. Turn your computers off at night (can’t hack or zombie what’s not there), and run an up to date virus scan often.It’s all you can do.
Well, that’s the Tech news today with lots of opinion.

Commodore 64 is back, with the same ol’ look but modern insides | Technology | Los Angeles Times.

Story is tha the comodor 64 is back but with teh same look. Well there is something that looks like the comodor 64. but the fact is if it is being released with today’s tehc, then it isn’t actually 64… It’s something greater than 64.

But as a computer lover I want my hands on this computer.

iPhone 5 release date: Big FAKE

iPhone 5 release date: Big buzz, few facts – CNN.com.

 

Apple executives have already confirmed that the iphone5 rumors are fake. There is no current release of the iphone 5 going to happen.

Be real everyone. The Iphone 4 was released less than a year ago. Apple will continue to sell those for as long as people are stilll buying them. Heck the Iphone 3 is still selling like crazy.

So do not expect to see an iphone5 for anywhere less than two years from the original release date of iphone 4

  1. Tangled Games Focus on Young Players

    I often like to have a look at the different formats that particular games are released on to see the differences. Disney’s new Tangled spin-off games have taken things in a slightly different direction though. Rather than the usual versions on every platform (360, PS3, Wii, DS and so on) they have gone for a more […]

The thin little media-player is somewhere between the already wrong-sized 7-inch Galaxy Tab and the regular Galaxy S cellphone, only […]

Just wonder how many potential new visa credit card user registrations have been missed.

Facebook Friend Request Ignore

Facebook has removed the Ignore option from the friend request area. It seems they have not set it to “not now” I assume this means it’s so you do not block the person completely but allows you to come back and add them later or lets them atleast talk to you . I have found that if you click the post that says ” you selected not now” somewhere near there it allows you to prevent the person from communicating with you ever again.

Since I get pretty foul on my other website, and I allow it to auto post on my facebook for my friends to see, I do not need minors or weak hearted people seeing my posts. I tend to rant there and well, it is not there for the pristine. I am not out to offend people with that site. otherwise I would just every single person on Facebook.
So this is a great option. Three selections/ Choices are better than two. most of the time. In this case. Three is better.
