If the Chinese [allegedly] can hack into Federal computer networks and
steal every Federal employees' personal information, what's the point of
national security? And, no matter how safe we all think our computer is
because of virus protection and good password protection, perhaps we're
really not.
Granted, you and I are probably of no interest to the Chinese. We aren't
federal employees, with potential inportant secret hidden information
buried in our personal data file somewhere, but I think that you get my
point. Something to think about!

Master of Orion Reboot Coming from The Team Behind World of Tanks
Master of Orion, the classic turn-based strategy game series dormant since
for more then a decade, is back with better graphics and refocused
gameplay thanks to an injection of developers and money by World of Tanks
publisher Wargaming.
Wargaming purchased the rights to the Master of Orion property in 2013
during an Atari bankruptcy auction. Today, the company announced its plans
to reboot Master of Orion, developing the first game in the series since
2003's Master of Orion 3.
While Wargaming originally made a name for itself with the science fiction
strategy game Massive Assault, the company decided to bring on
Argentinian-based NGD Studios to create the reboot with the help of key
members from the original game's team.
Players can expect a revamped user interface, an orchestral score from the
original game's composer, voiceovers by well-known actors, new user
tutorials, according to the announcement.
"Master of Orion is a game that brings Wargaming truly back to its roots,
not only as a company but also in how it influenced my personal interest
in both games and making them," said Victor Kislyi, CEO of Wargaming.
"The series' iconic gameplay has stood the test of time and working with
NGD Studios to bring the series back to life is a truly exciting moment
for the team."
Andrés Chilkowski, co-founder and CEO of NGD Studios, said the studio has
made many improvements to the over all game, but that it retained its
classic gameplay.
As with previous games in the series, players will manage colonies and
populations; choose how much to focus on research, production, resources,
military power; and race to be the first to conquer the stars.
The game will still allow players to win through conquest, diplomacy,
technology or economy, according to Wargaming, and players will still have
to worry over their civilization's morale, pollution, taxes and defenses.
Random events and anomalies will add variety to gameplay as well.
When it's finished, the game will include the series' original races:
Alkari, Bulrathi, Darlok, Human, Klackon, Psilon, Meklar, Mrrshan, Sakkra
and Silicoids. There will also be six different ship classes for each race
and the ability to customize a ship's missiles, engines, armor, shields,
scanners, bombs and lasers. The game will include more than 75 future
technologies with hundreds of advancements.
Kislyi said Wargaming was "more than willing to give a new lease of life"
to Master of Orion back when the company purchased rights to the series.
Microsoft Beefs Up Xbox Ahead of Major E3 Event
Microsoft on Tuesday unveiled an Xbox One console with double the memory
space that will hit the market as the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3)
video game extravaganza gets under way next week.
The new Xbox One model boasts a terabyte of space that will likely appeal
to players who are increasingly installing games as digital downloads
instead of opting for disks.
Microsoft's move came amid rumors that rival Sony plans to show off a new
one-terabyte PlayStation 4 at a media event slated to take place Monday
evening before the E3 show floor opens the following morning.
"Since Xbox One launched, one of the most frequent requests from fans is
to add more storage to their consoles," said Microsoft's Larry Hryb, who
blogs for the Xbox team using the gamer name "Major Nelson."
He announced that Xbox One 1TB will be priced at $399 when it begins
shipping on June 16 to retailers in the United States and select markets.
Current model Xbox One consoles with 500 gigabytes of storage will remain
$349, which was a $50 price cut that had been billed as temporary.
The new Xbox One will come with an improved controller, according to Hryb.
Microsoft also said that later this year it will begin selling a $25
adapter that will allow controllers to be used for Xbox-style play on
personal computers powered by the coming Windows 10 operating system.
Hryb promised that Microsoft would show off a stellar line-up of Xbox
games at E3 next week.
What To Expect from E3 2015
Calling the annual E3 conference a trade show is like calling "Top Chef"
a bake sale. The most important video game event of the year is a
convention in name alone, because in terms of sheer entertainment value,
its pretty much unrivaled.
The 2015 version of E3 short for the Electronic Entertainment Expo
descends upon downtown Los Angeles next week, bringing with it a good
50,000 journalists, analysts, game makers, and retailers. For the first
time in years, the industry event will invite 5,000 lucky fans to attend
the three-day conference, a golden ticket to a Los Angeles Convention
Center crammed to the gills with the latest and greatest in interactive
entertainment. From blockbuster console games to low-key PC indies to
barfy VR experiments, E3s got it all.
So what should gamers expect from this years show?
Big news from the Big Three.
That would be Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, who have annually treated the
show as a console war battleground. The cheap shots have softened a bit
over the years, but in general, this is where youll hear some of the
biggest announcements from the console manufacturers.
Microsoft already unveiled their updated 1 TB Xbox One console, so the
Redmond giant will focus on showing off blockbuster software like Halo 5,
Rise of the Tomb Raider, Forza 6, and a new game in the Gears of War
franchise. I wouldnt doubt Hololens making an appearance, either.
Microsoft doesnt want to let a big press event go by without getting
their fascinating AR/VR gadget some coverage.
Sony, meanwhile, has gone on record calling 2015 a little sparse for big
exclusive PS4 games. Well undoubtedly see plenty of Uncharted 4, due for
a 2016 release. Also expect a big showing from ambitious interstellar
adventure game No Mans Sky, currently the biggest exclusive PS4 game
slated for 2015. The companys Project Morpheus headset will be out and
about in a big way, and there's a decent chance the company will try to
even the playing field with Microsoft by announcing a 1 TB PS4. My Hail
Mary wish? A showing by long lost action/adventure game The Last Guardian,
though Ive said that every year since 2009. A man can dream.
While Sony and Microsoft swat at each other, Nintendo does its own thing
these days at E3. The company has opted out of the big press conference
war and instead will broadcast an informative video on Tuesday morning.
They know their fans and prefer to speak to them directly.
So what will they say? Theyll say a lot about Mario Maker and Star Fox
for the Wii U, a portable Animal Crossing game, the adorable Yoshis
Wolly World, and likely some frustrating but awesome news about new
Amiibo figures. Because they always do that. What they wont do is just
as notable, however. We apparently wont see The Legend of Zelda at this
show. But we can always hope for the appearance of another big franchise.
Metroid, maybe?
Big games from everyone else.
E3s not just about console wars. Its about games, and this years crop
looks stellar. Expect showings of post-apocalyptic internet breaker
Fallout 4, high-profile shooters Star Wars Battlefront and Call of Duty:
Black Ops III, dueling music games (again) Rock Band 4 and Guitar Hero
Live, Ubisoft's heavy-hitting trio of Assassins Creed: Syndicate, Tom
Clancy's The Division, and Rainbow Six: Siege, over-the-top action game
Just Cause 3, as well as hundreds more.
Small games, too.
You go to the Louvre to catch a glimpse of the Mona Lisa, but it turns
out, theres a lot of other art there. Really good art. Great art, even.
And E3s sort of the same thing.
While Halo and Uncharted will steal the big headlines, a billion
independent developers will be on hand showing off games with smaller
budgets but just as much heart. Im excited to check out games like
Wattam, The Flame in the Flood, Night in the Woods, Abzu, Salt and
Sanctuary, and more.
Virtual insanity.
On the fence about virtual reality? Get ready to choose a side, because
its coming fast. VR gaming is expected to explode at E3 this year.
The Morpheus will be at the Sony booth, for sure, though its time for
Sony to show off more than just a handful of tech demos. We need to see
what legit, fully-formed PS4 video games feel like in VR, and E3 is the
place to show us.
After that impressive showing back in January, Microsofts Hololens has
gamers curious. That Minecraft demo looked amazing Creepers on my coffee
table! and you just know theyre working on other cool gaming-related
stuff for the device. E3 would be the perfect place to show it, though
theyll likely keep it low-key so as not to take away from Halo. Unless
they incorporate Halo into a demo? Hrm. Halolens?
Oculus, meanwhile, will be everywhere. The company has announced plans to
show off its newly revealed, final retail version of the Rift headset,
along with its quirky Oculus Touch controllers and a ton of games.
Theyre the leading VR company for a reason the tech just feels more
advanced and sturdier than what most competitors are up to but with
competition on all sides, Oculus needs to plant its flag at this show
as the VR tech to beat.
At least they'll have one less VR tech to contend with. Valves Vive VR,
which Ive yet to try but sounds amazing, isnt going to be there.

A-ONE's Headline News
The Latest in Computer Technology News
Compiled by: Dana P. Jacobson
Court Says Net Neutrality Rules Will Go into Effect Friday
Rules that treat the Internet like a public utility and prevent companies
from blocking or slowing down some online traffic will go into effect
Friday after a federal appeals court refused to delay them.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit said it won't postpone implementation of the net
neutrality regulations even though AT&T, Verizon, and other companies are
fighting against them. The panel said the United States Telecom
Association, the plaintiffs in the case, did not satisfy the requirements
for a stay.
The ruling is a setback for the industry, but the litigation will go on.
The court accepted the Telecom Association's request to speed up the
proceedings and asked the two sides to submit a schedule for briefing
within two weeks.
Last February, the FCC agreed in a 3-2 vote to new rules that specifically
prohibit service providers from blocking or slowing Internet traffic. To
make sure the FCC has the authority to punish violators, the agency agreed
to put Internet service in the same regulatory camp as the telephone and
other utilities. That means providers would have to act in the "public
interest" when supplying Internet service and refrain from "unjust or
unreasonable" business practices.
The goal is to prevent Internet service companies like Verizon and AT&T
from striking secret deals with content providers like Google, Netflix or
Twitter to move their data faster and shutting out fresh competition.
Cable and wireless companies that provide much of the nation's bandwidth
object to the rules. The lawsuit says the regulations are too onerous,
violate federal law, and are arbitrary, and that the FCC didn't follow
the proper procedure in creating the rules. U.S. Telecom says it has no
problem following the regulations against blocking or slowing web
traffic, but that the FCC said it's not fair to treat broadband like
public utilities.
Consumer groups and smaller startups, however, have cheered the
regulations because they say it will prevent broadband companies from
manipulating traffic and charging Internet "tolls."
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler said Thursday's
decision is a huge win for consumers. The National Cable &
Telecommunications Association said it is glad the review will be sped up
and that it's glad the court will review the appeal.
U.S. House Votes for Permanent Ban on Internet Access Taxes
The House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to permanently bar U.S.
states from taxing Internet access and replace a 17-year-old temporary ban
that had been extended multiple times and was due to expire on Oct. 1.
The bipartisan measure, passed by voice vote, also bans discriminatory
taxes on e-commerce.
"This legislation prevents a surprise tax hike on Americans critical
services this fall," said the bill's sponsor, Republican House Judiciary
Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte.
A similar bill introduced in the U.S. Senate has 49 co-sponsors,
including 11 Democrats, likely enough to secure passage.
But the House's "Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act" fails to address
thorny questions over state sales taxes on goods and services sold via
the Internet.
Currently, 45 states have imposed sales taxes on online purchases, but
only some states require e-tailers to actually collect these revenues
from customers.
Brick-and-mortar retailers have pushed for years for legislation that
ensures full and consistent collection of online sales taxes in all 45
states. They argue that the current, patchwork system gives many online
merchants a pricing advantage over traditional stores that must, under
law, collect taxes from customers.
Online shoppers are supposed to submit payment for tax due, but almost no
one does. As a result, many online purchases are effectively tax-free and
cheaper than in-store purchases.
A House Judiciary Committee aide said lawmakers were working on a proposal
to address the sales tax issue but declined to provide further details.
Facebook Scam Leads to Browser Hijacker
If you're meandering through Facebook and come across a link to an
unexpectedly racy photo, it might be best to stay away, as
antivirus-software company Bitdefender warns on its Hot for Security blog.
That saucy picture may be bait meant to lure you down a rabbit hole to
malware, or to unwanted software that can hijack your Web browser.
In this case, it all started with a very clickable photo of a woman's bare
behind posted to a friend's wall, which also would have had 20 of your
mutual friends tagged in the post, though the scam software may have
tagged them without their consent. The photo appeared to link to a
pornographic video.
Those who took the bait are redirected to a URL of questionable intent.
That page appeared to be a YouTube video, giving victims some false
glimmer of hope that the video they clicked for was actually out there.
Then, though, they'd have had to click through one more time, just to be
told that access to the content of their desire required a Chrome browser
plugin named mithv1.
That plugin, which Google has removed from the Chrome Web Store, was
posing as an extension for Internet security, purportedly built to encrypt
traffic and "unblock websites." Those who installed it may have had their
browsers hijacked, a remedy for which can be found here.
Browser hijackers are becoming an epidemic for a couple of reasons:
They're often legal, with big-name companies backing their development and
distribution; and they work on Macs as well as Windows PCs. That doesn't
make them any less annoying or frustrating.
Facebook-based scams are nothing new. While each can be taken down,
Facebook has few means to prevent them from going up in the first place,
especially if they immediately link to external websites. As on the rest
of the Web, be careful what you click on in Facebook.
Hackathons Take on Islamic State in Cyberspace Battle
In a small room close by the Sydney Opera House, 60 people representing a
vast range of communities and industries are working feverishly to come up
with ways to combat the Islamic State group's online propaganda machine.
The extremists' ideology and use of social media has struck a chord with
thousands of youngsters across the world, drawing them to fight in Iraq
and Syria or show support from their home countries.
The United States and its allies have struggled to counter the digitally
savvy group, but a pair of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are leading a
grassroots-charge to take on IS in cyberspace, travelling around the world
to host hackathon challenges.
The latest hackathon competition - the fourth in the past five months - is
being held alongside a two-day countering violent extremism conference in
Australia's biggest city, attended by high-level officials and experts and
opened by Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
The anti-extremism meeting is taking an in-depth look at how IS - which
controls large swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria - reaches out to
youths, with technology giants Facebook, Twitter and Google joining the
more than 30 participating countries in hashing out solutions.
Almost 25,000 foreign fighters from over 100 countries were involved in
jihadi conflicts worldwide, a recent United Nations report said, with
many headed for Iraq and Syria. Some of those making the journey include
teenage boys and girls.
The hackathon is designed to take an additional approach to countering IS.
"We marry innovation and the national security sector, with Silicon Valley
ethos and start-up models to try and create very new, fast-paced,
high-energy (projects)," said hackathon organiser Quintan Wiktorowicz,
who was US President Barack Obama's senior adviser for countering violent
extremism from 2011 to 2013.
"No single prototype is a silver bullet to stop ISIS radicalisation. But
it's the ecosystem that we're building by running these (hackathons)
globally and connecting the networks all the time," he told AFP, using
another term for IS.
"Over five years, it can be a game changer, it can have strategy impact."
The projects being developed do not have to address radicalisation head
on, but are meant to focus on the root causes of why young people choose
to leave home, such as feeling disconnected from local communities.
Hackathon competitors are drawn from across industries and communities
that may not normally interact with each other, with a goal to go beyond
the talking shop labels usually slapped on conferences and come up with
concrete programmes that can turn a profit.
At a three-day "Haqqathon" - a variation on the word hackathon using the
Arabic word "haqq", which means truth - in Abu Dhabi in April, the
people's choice award went to "Marhubba", an app which helps young
Muslims tap into Islamic scholarship to answer questions about sex and
intimacy.
Yassmin Abdel-Magied (C), a drilling engineer, works with Matthew Quinn
(R), a counter-terrorism specialist to create an app called "Connect Me"
that is described as a "Tinder for mentorship"
Silicon Valley entrepreneur Shahed Amanullah, who co-founded start-up
incubator Affinis Labs with Wiktorowicz, said IS was "speaking to a
vacuum that exists in Muslim youth identity".
"It's giving them an exciting, empowering path to express their identity.
We are not doing that on our side," Amanullah said.
"We can't just say what they are doing is not Islam, we have to say what
is Islam and explain that in a way that makes them feel good."
Yassmin Abdel-Magied, a drilling engineer, was working with Matthew Quinn,
a counter-terrorism specialist and animator Caitlin Bathgate to create an
app called "Connect Me" that she describes as a "Tinder for mentorship".
Like the online dating app Tinder, Abdel-Magied, 24, is hoping strangers
can forge links based on their interests.
At the same desk, Abdullahi Alim, 22, who has a background in finance and
statistics, is working with his team on a social media campaign called
"Extreme Heroes".
"We're looking to give young Muslim teens who don't have a positive or an
active Muslim role model in their life access to non-violent male leaders
in their own community to give them a constructive identity," Alim said.
Results of the Sydney hackathon, which could include potential funding to
develop projects, were due to be announced later Friday.
Anne Aly, an Australian counter-terrorism expert and hackathon
co-organiser, is passionate about developing grassroots measures away from
governments' top-down anti-terrorism narratives.
"I think showing the world, and Australia and the region, that we can
bring civil society together to come up with solutions is in itself a very
strong message," Aly said.
Google Now Has Just Gotten Insanely Better, and Very Freaky
For many people, Google Search is the only way to search the web for
relevant information about all sorts of topics, and the company has
constantly improved it to offer more accurate and better tailored
answers. In fact, the company just announced a terrific new feature that
makes Google Now even more useful than before. And very freaky.
According to Android Police, Google announced at an event in Paris a
Location Aware Search feature that can answer a new set of questions,
without the user having to ask questions that should include addresses or
proper place names.
Asking Google Now questions like what is this museum? or when was this
building built? in proximity of the Louvre in Paris will get you answers
about the Louvre, as Google will be able to use your location and
understand what you meant by this or this building.
The feature might not always work, and itll be a while until Google can
answer more complex questions, but it looks like Googles Location Aware
Search feature is already available to users in the U.S. and other
countries according to this Reddit thread.
Here are some of the new questions Google Search and Google Now can
answer:
What is this museum?
When does this restaurant open?
How tall is this? (when standing next to a tower)
When was this built? (for monuments)
Whats the name of this church?
Whats the phone number for this pharmacy?
Good News: Even 8-year-old Macs Can Run The Latest Version of OS X
Apple on Monday unveiled OS X El Capitan, its next major update for Macs.
The OS brings several performance improvements and new features to the
desktop, and Mac users will be able to install it on MacBooks, iMacs and
other OS X computers as soon as this summer when the first OS X 10.11
beta will be released. But what are the system requirements for running
El Capitan?
The list of El Capitan compatible Macs includes the following models:
iMac (Mid-2007 or newer)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or newer), (15-inch, Mid / Late 2007 or
newer), (17-inch, Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
When it comes to system requirements, the blog says that the better the
hardware, the smoother the experience users should get. As long as your
Mac has a 64-bit CPU, you should be able to run El Capitan, OS X Daily
says, adding that beyond that, the requirements are pretty soft and
forgiving.
However, Apple is focusing this year on making OS X run even smoother on
older devices than previous releases, just like it does with iOS 9 for
iPhones and iPads.
Twitter Removing 140-Character Limit from Direct Messages
Twitter has been overhauling Direct Messages over the past several
months, and today its announcing an enormous change: plans to lift the
classic 140-character limit. Starting in July, DMs will seemingly be
able to run as long as youd like, turning it into much more of a typical
instant message and group chat service.
Its a sensible move the 140-character limit was always more of a
nuisance in DMs, since theyre private and not meant to be the same type
of quick info bite as a tweet. Itll also be a huge help to companies
that run customer service on Twitter. Twitter has already made it easier
for companies to do that by giving them the option to let anyone initiate
a DM, and now theyll be able to send long messages back and forth,
rather than being arbitrarily restricted.
Twitter traditionalists dont have to worry much: You may be wondering
what this means for the public side of Twitter, writes Sachin Agarwal,
Twitters DM product manager. Nothing! Tweets will continue to be the
140 characters they are today.
Two Men Arrested After Sending Threatening Emoji over Facebook
Arrested by Spartanburg County deputies in South Carolina earlier this
month, 29-year-old David Fuentes and 29-year-old Matthew Cowan were
taken into custody for sending threatening messages through Facebook to
an unnamed man. However, no words were transmitted through the Facebook
messaging, only graphical emoji icons.
Specifically, the duo both sent the emoji for a fist, a hand pointing in
the shape of a gun and an image of a white ambulance. Allegedly, the
intention of the images indicated that the two men were planning on
beating up the unnamed man and potentially sending him to the hospital
in an ambulance.
Of course, this wasnt the only incident that led to the arrest of
Fuentes and Cowan. An incident report filed during May 2015 indicated
that the Fuentes and Cowan attempted to assault the unnamed man at his
home. The emoji messages were basically the final straw that led
deputies to arrest the two men and charge both with stalking charges.
Both men now face up to five years in prison if convicted of the
charges.
Speaking about the increased use of social media in investigations,
Lt. Kevin Bobo of the Spartanburg County Sheriffs Office encouraged
parents to educate themselves on the symbols their kids are using and
also monitor that use.
This isnt the first case of emoji playing a significant role in an
arrest. During January 2015, 17-year-old Osiris Aristy was arrested by
the NYPD after publishing several Facebook messages with multiple gun
emojis pointing to a policeman emoji. That was in combination with
written threats within his series of threatening Facebook messages.
When Aristy was eventually arrested, police found a .38 caliber Smith
and Wesson firearm in his home as well as an amount of pot exceeding
25 grams, likely packaged for distribution.
