A Canary in the Data Mine: NSA Takes Another Bite Out of Apple

If the canary hasn’t died, it has definitely been winged.

Apple, Inc. has changed its privacy policy (you know, those things that almost no one reads) and according to gigaom.com it has removed what is known as a “warrant canary.” A warrant canary is a statement within a company’s privacy policy that indicates it hasn’t received certain communications from, oh, lets say the NSA.

They can listen to the answers of the questions they actually posed.

I’ll end the suspense… They conclude it was the CIA. But watch the video anyway… there’s also some good advice.

Bieber>NSA

Congresswomen in Davos, being interviewed on NSA matters, is interrupted for Bieber news. This is exactly what I would expect from the station that hires Mrs. Alan Greenspan to “report” what they consider “news.” How many of you know that Andrea Mitchell is Mrs. Alan Greenspan? (Fox and CNN are no better, to be fair)
