Use Tor or Hotspot Shield? You’re a terrorist!
(Or even Google’d those words?)
One “must read” for all you thinkers out there.
* The NSA Thinks You Are an Extremist If You Care About Privacy
“You don’t have to perform a search about pressure cooker bombs or terrorism to get on the National Security Agency’s radar. Just being a little privacy-conscious and curious about Tor is enough.” Read more..
I suggest forwarding that to your friends and family, as well.
Wow. It’s a fair bet I am on The List because of typing those words… Double “wow”!
Today’s quote: “Maybe this world is another planet’s hell.” ~ Aldous Huxley
Today’s relief: Another one of those ‘buried into my subconscious’ songs..
“Googled” is a word. How nuts is that?
And speaking of Google: I received an info-Email informing me that Orkut is Kaput (soon).
“After ten years of sparking conversations and forging connections, we have decided it’s time for us to start saying goodbye to Orkut. Over the past decade, YouTube, Blogger and Google+ have taken off, with communities springing up in every corner of the world. Because the growth of these communities has outpaced Orkut’s growth, we’ve decided to focus our energy and resources on making these other social platforms as amazing as possible for everyone who uses them.”
I had to say, “Who? What the ___ is an “Orkut”? (jk)
“Outpaced growth”…
Snicker.
Too bad they didn’t pitch it/mod it to be the place where all the kids go (now that grown-ups [parents and grandparents] have flooded Facebook). Then it might be “monitize-able”….

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
