Views From The Space-Ship: On the Hunt For the Cyclops
Views From The Space-Ship! Where I yank back the scab obfuscating my Realm from the All-Peering Eyes of you Internet Lords. Bask in confirmation of my tangibility. Bow your head, humbled, knowing that such refuse as myself runs free within the Kingdom. Then share looks into your own world. Virtual and Literal.

GO FIGURE: UK agency spied on your dongs through webcam images; explored Kinect surveillance
It turns out some British intelligence agency totally looked at webcam images from more than a million Yahoo user accounts. I’m shocked! Like way shocked. Double go figure: they were like “Hey we can probably look at everyone’s business through their Kinect, too.”
NSA has PRETTY MUCH BEEN COLLECTING ALL OUR INFO. (NO) Surprise!
I’m a beaten man when it comes to this sort of nonsense. Yesterday’s Megaton Bomb was the Megaton Bomb that anyone with a subtle sense of what is going on in this world already knew: the NSA pretty much collects everything about all of us. The only solution? Continue plummeting down the rabbit hole into furry-scat-vomit porn and fiction, attempting to at least shock them. Though I know with resignation that I am not a unique snowflake, and there are lots of Me out there.
AP: JUSTICE DEPARTMENT spied on REPORTER’S PHONE CALLS. We’re not surprised, right?
The largest bummer about these kind of news stories isn’t that our government is routinely wiping their bum-bum with what we consider to be our rights. The largest bummer is that we usually read this stories aghast, and then go back about watching reality shows and eating cheesy products. Myself included.
Google: Government spying is on the rise. Duh-doi!
Google is dropping knowledge bombs that should surprise approximately no one who reads any sort of tech-geek site. They are slathering us with the tots ph33r that our government is increasing its internet surveillance. Got to catch the bad guys! Watching furry porn.
Portland, Oregon Considering All-Seeing CCTV Surveillance. Wut? Weird.
This is weird as hell to me and my clueless ass. I thought that Porltand, OR was some sort of hipster haven where people smoke pot in the streets and beers can be traded for high-fives at bars. Now they’re going to go full CCTV stylee? Odd.\
London Resident Have MISSILE LAUNCHERS On Their Rooftops, Courtesy Of The Olympics.
How would you feel about having a high-velocity missile launcher stationed on your rooftop? I’d feel a bit of a villain swag, complimented by being really frightened that there was a death machine on my building’s head. London residents are working through these same sort of emotions as they prepare to have weapons of death on their rooftops in anti-terrorist measures during the the Olympics.
US Relaxes Limits On How Data From SPYING On Citizens Can Be Used. Big Brother Giggles
Good news for everyone who doesn’t really care about their internet freedom! Limits have been laxed and now even people who are not suspected of being terrorists (which has become such a flimsy word I think even my Nana could be argued to be one) can have their data mined and stored and gazed at by the Man with uncomfortably little restrictions.
DOJ Asks Court To Keep Secret Any PARTNERSHIP Between GOOGLE And NSA. LOL @ Privacy
The Justice Department refuses to divulge whatever sort of agreement there may be between Google and the National Security Agency. Not that there is one, of course.
The CIA Uses Social Media To Track How The World Feels.
Who the fuck needs spies, when you have social media? The CIA uses the various interlacings of our internet lives to track the moods and vibes of the world. Scanning and analyzing data and composing a view of which group of us is about to wile out.
