White House Officially Denies Knowledge of Alien Life

​The White House has officially responded to a petition signed by 12,078 people calling for the government to "formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race." The Office of Science & Technology Policy's Phil Larson wrote a post on the White House website titled, "Searching for ET, But No Evidence Yet." Larson categorically denies that the US has evidence of extraterrestrial life, but his response raises more questions than it answers. For example, what kind of alien name is "Phil Larson?" HERE

Data furnace n.

A cluster of servers used to warm a home with waste heat. Proposed by Microsoft as an alternative to centralized server farms that need to be air-conditioned, distributed networks of data furnaces would be maintained by cloud service providers who would give you free heating in exchange for a place in your basement.

November 5th will be a momentous day for the Occupy Movement and we need to make sure that each individual participating is fully heard.

Our collective voice needs to become audible, it needs a presence. The word conspire comes from the latin root, to breathe with, it is in the collective breath that the power of a people is felt. With this in mind, there seems to be no better way to illustrate a unified people, then to give the breath of each individual a voice. With basic harmonicas, we can give this movement sound.

What we're suggesting is to equip the entire movement with harmonicas. By breathing slowly through these harmonicas, the historic instrument of the underclass in America, the audible qualities of both the individual and the whole will become a call used for marches, demonstrations, and sit-ins. As thousands of people step together and breathe together, the sound that we emit will be impossible to ignore or argue, because it lacks words that can be skewed or manipulated.

Hohner harmonica has agreed to donate all of their profits to the Occupy Wall Street cause, making the cost of the harmonicas for us only the cost of manufacturing and handling, 98 cents per harmonica plus shipping (around $200).

Germany To Put Special Monitoring Software On School Computers To Search For Infringement

Just under a month ago, the "Chaos Computer Club" (CCC), which styles itself as "the largest European hacker club", had some disturbing news for Germans:
The largest European hacker club, "Chaos Computer Club" (CCC), has reverse engineered and analyzed a "lawful interception" malware program used by German police forces. It has been found in the wild and submitted to the CCC anonymously. The malware can not only siphon away intimate data but also offers a remote control or backdoor functionality for uploading and executing arbitrary other programs. Significant design and implementation flaws make all of the functionality available to anyone on the internet. HERE

A Cheap Grab For Exposure: The Occupy The Internet Exhibition

Why is Occupy The Internet now an “exhibition of leading net artists“? Launched two weeks ago at fffff.at, the original project was a simple call: embed a script that runs an army of animated gif protesters on your website to show your support for the Occupation movement. The post asked for animated GIF submissions that would then be “called up for duty”, and has since been installed on over 875 websites. MORE

Wired.com Embeds With #Occupy and Anonymous

It might seem odd that I’m covering #occupy and Anonymous together, but it’s not. Both #occupy and Anonymous are each examples of a new kind of hybrid entity, one that breaks the boundaries between “real life” and the internet, creatures of the network embodied as citizens in the real world. As one member of The Pirate Bay explained on IRC, “We prefer afk (away from keyboard) to irl (in real life). This is real life.”

Over the next weeks and months, I’ll look to discover just how real it can become.
