German Intelligence Agency Planning To Follow Big NSA Brother On Shoestring

An anonymous reader, tongue in cheek, writes"Facebook, Twitter, et al are tools for terrorists planning to do whatever terrorists do, Germany's BND has discovered. Inevitably, real-time monitoring of these sites is necessary and urgently required [original, in German], not least because that Snowden chap has shown we're running behind the U.S. and UK. And Spain. And Italy. In short, it's a national emergency — 300 million euros, presto please — and if we do this smartly, we could...

Google To Close Its American Moto X Factory

An anonymous reader writes "After only one year in operation, Google's Moto X factory in Fort Worth, TX, is scheduled to close at the end of 2014. The decision to close apparently has nothing to do with Google's decision to sell Motorola Mobility to Lenovo and everything to do with poor sales numbers and high labor and shipping costs in the U.S. The factory had, at one point, employed 3,800 people. Their ranks now number at about 700. Moto E and Moto G, newer and cheaper iterations of Moto X,...

The GOP’s Grifter Problem

There’s Donald Trump, the man who made “birtherism” a national cause; Herman Cain, whose presidential run was a glorified book tour; Dinesh D’Souza, who just pleaded guilty to a felony campaign finance violation, and Phil...

A Tale of Two Europes

He had won the support by more than 55 percent of Ukrainians—and they knew exactly what they were getting. Poroshenko campaigned on integrating his country into European institutions.

Why Is Puerto Rico Burning Oil to Generate Electricity?

PREPA, the troubled Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, is having difficulty coming up with the money to pay for its latest petroleum delivery. As Caribbean Business reported, the utility last week decided to take cash from its capital works fund—up to $100 million—to buy oil. Usually, PREPA would use existing lines of credit to make such purchases. But the recent downgrades of Puerto Rico’s public debt have made that more challenging.

African Americans make up only 12% of the population yet 65% of NFL players. Time for quotas?

African Americans also make up 80% of NBA players despite being only 12% of the population. Time for quotas?

White Europids are 72.4% of the population but 96.5% of veterinarians. Time for quotas?

Every major Hollywood studio was founded by Jewish people. Jewish people make up less than 6% of the US population yet they make up almost 100% of entertainment industry executives. Jews are massively over represented in films as directors, producers, writers, and actors. (see Joel Stein's article in the New York Times ) Time for quotas?

Guess, Ralph Lauren, Mark Echo, Michael Kors, Kenneth Cole, Marc Jacobs, Levi's, and an overwhelming majority of other top fashion brands were started by Jews....Time for quotas in the fashion industry too?

72.4% of Americans are White, yet 61% of Google employees are White. Technically Whites are under-represented.

Women earn 18% of computer science degrees, yet 30% of Google employees are Women. Technically women are over-represented.

Hands-On With Sony's VR Headset

It wasn't long after the rise of the Oculus Rift that Sony hopped on the virtual reality bandwagon and announced a headset of their own. Now, Eurogamer has had a chance to operate and test Sony's hardware, which they say "has its own distinct vision for VR," as well as a distinct focus on console gaming. "On the 640x768 per eye first-gen Rift, the result was the perception of a disappointingly minuscule resolution, with a highly distracting "screen door" effect where you could see between the...
