Surveillance of Skype Messages Found in China

George Orwell (1984) type of stuff. Even words like earthquake, milk powder etc. might make this secret organization save your IM conversation. There are about 144,000+ IM chats from 44,000 users saved to their database. I don’t know which is worse- the fact that the country is doing such monitoring or the fact that the system that is being used is vulnerable and can be easily accessed by outside firms that have any interest in this matter. Lesson learned: Stay away from Skype (at least text chat). Voice calls are not being taped…so far.

Just got this book from the library. I’m already loving it. The opening line says: Capital of the Freedom-Loving Nation of China. You can never go wrong with a line like that! I’ll post a review once I get done reading it (provided my laptop gets repaired/find time to blog from work).

See, it’s called Publr. This is Tumblr. Vital difference. (via)

Yeah…I found out about this site around 3 weeks back, through Wikipedia. It’s not as great as Tumblr though- GUI’s not impressive enough to begin with, and I didn’t stay long enough to note other differences.

Questionable Content

I actually agree with the woman on the left. What’s wrong with being specific when it comes to men? I’m sure they have a longer list anyway.

Haha! This made me laugh so much. I think I might just try this.

why am I going to sleep sooner and sooner everyday? Is it because it’s getting colder? Only 9:30 and I’m already tucked in bed. And I don’t wake up until 7:30. I think my life will pretty much get over going to these 8 to 5 jobs, come back, cook, watch a movie or read a book, and sleep. Maybe I’m being too dramatic, but I don’t even feel the time passing by, especially the past 6 months. This year is actually getting over in 3 months. I need to save a lot of money and retire soon!

I love the NY Times app for the iPhone. Yelp looks good too. I have already shortlisted some pubs using it. And why do we need the facebook app? The iPhone version of the website actually has more functionality, except for the chat client. I don’t use the chat client anyway.

What is Politics?

askvero:

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is Politics?’

Dad says, ‘Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the family, so call me The President.

Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.

We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.

The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.

And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.

So the little boy goes to his parents’ room and finds his mother asleep.

Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.

He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy say’s to his father, ‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.’

The father says, ‘Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’

The little boy replies, ‘The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep.  The People  are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.’
