Hey, if you stop by Tyler's house, hit one or two of his ad sites.
It would only take a moment of your time, lets make sure Zero hedge keeps rolling.
Because you seriously have to admit, he pretty much single handedly keeps us all rolling in the loop. MSM sure as heck doesn't.
Now go check your phone and give yourself a little piece of mind....or not.
Good luck

Several hours ago, the latest hacker group to gain prominence, AntiSec, a subset of Anonymous, disclosed that it had obtained the confidential user data contained in some some 12 million Apple units after hacking an FBI Dell Vostro notebook computer, "used by Supervisor Special Agent Christopher K. Stangl from FBI Regional Cyber Action Team and New York FBI Office Evidence Response Team was breached using the AtomicReferenceArray vulnerability on Java" which contined a file titled NCFTA_iOS_devices_intel.csv, which "turned to be a list of 12,367,232 Apple iOS devices including Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of device, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers, addresses, etc. the personal details fields referring to people appears many times empty leaving the whole list incompleted on many parts." In other words, the FBI had the personal data of a substantial number of Apple device users, certainly all of which had been obtained without prior permission. Naturally the question here is why on earth does the FBI have this data, and as TNW suggests, "They published the UDID numbers to call attention to suspicions that the FBI used the information to track citizens. Much of the personal data has been trimmed, however, with the hackers claiming to have left enough for “a significant amount of users” to search for their devices." AntiSec has subsequently released one million of these UUIDs and their associated data. Find out if your device is on the list as explained below.

First, courtesy of WhatsmyUDID.com, here is a simple process to find out what the specific number is.

Army sees smartphones as important for soldiers

And just exactly who is it that gives the army the money to pay those new phone bills or to buy those new smart phones and Kindles?
Are they out of their fucking mind?
I know we're out of ours if we let this continue to become a reality.
You just thought the welfare recipents getting them was bad, at least those have an allotment of only 30 minutes a month. This bitch that they're introducing is an unlimited free for all.
Gee I guess Tech is gonna be the next big thing for the market just like they've been saying. And now we know why
Hell the Army is picking up the tab.
Think about it.


— The Army wants to issue every soldier an iPhone or Android cellphone — it could be a soldier's choice.
And to top it off, the Army wants to pay your monthly phone bill.

To most soldiers, it sounds almost too good to be true, but it's real, said Lt. Gen. Michael Vane, director of the Army Capabilities Integration Center (ARCIC). He said the Army would issue these smartphones just like any other piece of equipment a soldier receives.

"One of the options potentially is to make it a piece of equipment in a soldier's clothing bag," Vane said.

Efforts are underway around the Army to harness smart phones to revolutionize the way the service trains and fights.

Army-issued smartphones are already in the schoolhouse and garrison, or on post, in the hands of some students at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.; Fort Lee, Va.; and at Fort Sill, Okla., under an Army program called Connecting Soldiers to Digital Applications. CSDA's next step, already underway at Fort Bliss, Texas, is testing for the war zone.

In February, the Army plans to begin fielding phones, network equipment and applications to the first Army brigade to be modernized under the brigade combat team modernization program. That test will not be limited to smart phones but will include any electronic devices that may be useful to troops.

"We're looking at everything from iPads to Kindles to Nook readers to mini-projectors," said Mike McCarthy, director of the mission command complex of Future Force Integration Directorate at Fort Bliss.
