DEATHMATCH; Windows Phone vs. Android

Previously smartphone Deathmatch (November 2010): In a surprise upset, the Google Android beat both the Blackberry and Apple iPhone OS merits of customization, flexibility and rapid swelling of application support. This month we are launching a Windows Mobile 7 in a cage with the iPhone killer. Microsoft may nascent mobile operating system to keep the contents side, against an angry androids? It 'time to find out.

ROUND 1
EASE OF USE Windows Mobile home screen is all I want a phone: a fascinating, dynamic and functional. Android has a customizable home screen, and love the ability to insert widgets, but in the end, the desktop metaphor seems a bit 'dated. WinPhone use of triumphs class all-in-one approach to Android. In general, Microsoft has created a lot easier at a glance the user interface. We considered penalized Windows Mobile 7, the lack of copy / paste, but then we tried to remember the last time we used, we call each other, and could not.
WINNER: Windows Mobile

ROUND 2
FLEXIBILITY AND CUSTOMIZATION Microsoft said the simplicity of its mobile operating system, and the end result is that, apart from the ability to change color and position of the tabs on the homepage, you can not change a lot of interface all. We like Android in this sense because it allows a lot of control over our mobile environment. You can change almost all elements of the desktop, applications and settings powermanagement.
WINNER: Android

ROUND 3
APPLICATION AND DEVELOPER SUPPORT Android applications are more than 100,000. At launch, Windows, the phone was only a few thousand, and the lack of large classes, like all Google applications (no surprise there), instant messaging and much more. Over time, Microsoft shut WinPhone results and use of games is a novel, but at this time, this class is a breeze.
WINNER: Android

ROUND 4
EMAIL AND MESSAGING Both of these operating systems, "e-mail programs are easy to install and offer integrated support for Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, and POP. User interface design from Microsoft and the color is slightly better than Android, especially because we can see three lines of text to the default view. Although Windows Mobile threaded SMS looks and feels better as the Android, you can download the text of the superior third-party customers in the Android Marketplace. This is too close to call, especially since the two client messages are top notch.
WINNER: DRAW



ROUND 5
MEDIA STORAGE AND PLAYBACK Android is flexible in how it deals with the media. You can synchronize music with Windows Media Player or other synchronization client (except for the Zune and iTunes) and you can drag / drop directly from Windows for your device. Windows Phone works particularly well with the Zune, which gives you access to a massive music library for $ 15 per month and also gives you the card to access movies and TV shows. And you can sync your phone with your PC.
WINNER: Windows Phone

ROUND 6
PHOTOS AND STORAGE These days, most of them are the equivalent of several rolls of fi lm in our pockets. The question, as always, what the hell we do with all these pictures? Both Windows and Android Phone offers easy ways to get photos taken. However, the ability of Windows Phone to automatically download photos on Facebook or SkyDrive, and the ability to view all photos of our friends and is so innovative that we wish we had thought.
WINNER: Windows Mobile

And the Winner Is...
The fact that Microsoft has discussed all the furniture feels like a small miracle. When the company announced that it is Windows Mobile 7 delayed earlier this year, we thought it was the kiss of death. Instead, Holy Cow! This is a unique, good-looking mobile operating system. It 'still a version 1.0, not approaching close to the level of customization available for Android users. But between the intuitive use of the basic classes of smartphone features, integrating the Zune, and a cleaner look, you declare a winner of Windows Mobile.

One last thought: One of the things we have not mentioned in this Deathmatch is the battery life. Ultimately, it would not be fair because the size of the equipment and the battery / Type is a big part of the equation. However, our tests clearly that the Windows Phone OS is much less intensive than the battery of Android. As we see more devices, we will study further.

Digging into Windows Phone 7 OS

The core of Windows Phone 7 is the home screen and its symmetrical, Mondrian-style arrangement of large square tiles, each of which provides entry into a basic task such as email, web browsing, games, text messaging, calendars, and more. These tiles are plainly labeled and are “live,” meaning that the OS constantly updates them with new alerts in real time.

Beneath this striking design, however, lies a number of step-saving effi ciencies. Across the board, the WinPhone interface consistently removes one to two steps from almost every single smartphone task we perform on a day-to-day basis. The only real exception to this is the ability to instantly read news, weather, and social updates via the desktop widgets that Android permits.

As a general rule, the level of customization consistently disappointed us. You can customize the placement of individual tiles on the Start screen—an extended press on an icon allows you to drag it around the home screen and place it wherever you’d like. You can also “pin” just about anything—applications, websites, photos, games, people, podcasts, and more—to the home screen in the same manner. Aft er just under a week of usage, we wanted to adjust the color and/or size of individual tiles. We wanted to leave a row of tiles blank in order to group our applications. We want to change font sizes. None of this is currently possible.

EMAIL AND OFFICE
Unrealistically, we expected that because Exchange and Outlook are Microsoft products, Outlook in Windows Phone 7 would function in some kind of special manner. We were misguided. Performance around message delivery and syncing is identical to Android and the iPhone. Critics and users have groaned about the lack of a unifi ed inbox that lumps all of our emails together. Our take: It’s a nicety, but not a necessity. These days, most of us use separate inboxes to refl ect our various personas—worker bee, family man, pervert—so the separation makes sense. SMS texting utilizes the now-standard threaded approach, with each SMS conversation housed in a separate window.

We were pleasantly surprised by the high level of functionality the built-in (and free!)mobile Microsoft Offi ce suite allows. Most of the basic formatting and font options are here. If you’re a PowerPoint maestro, be warned: You can create and edit Word and Excel documents, but you can only edit pre-existing PPT decks. We were surprised to discover that you can only save your documents locally or on a Sharepoint server, and not to Microsoft ’s cloudbased SkyDrive service. (You can automatically save your photos to SkyDrive, however.)

Given the prevalence of touch-screen smartphones, the quality of WinPhone’s virtual
keyboard is important. We confess to feeling initially disappointed. In comparison to the competition, it feels too small and the keys are too crowded, particularly in landscape mode. We were pleased to discover that the virtual keyboard’s adaptive traits were top-notch. It constantly adapted to and corrected the errors caused by our clumsy, meaty thumbs.

GAMES, MUSIC, PEOPLE, AND MORE
One signifi cant change is the way the OS treats your friends and social networks. Instead of shunting your social life into a series of applications, Microsoft has created a dedicated channel—People—that allows you to keep track of all your real and faux friends’ posts, status updates, and more. This aggregated view also extends to the Photos category of the OS—here you can see all of your friends’ most recent photo posts.

The integrated Zune support is a beautiful thing; it essentially means that every
WinPhone is also a Zune HD. You can download and stream the entire Zune catalog of
music, podcasts, and videos. The only exception to this rule is that, for some reason, you can’t stream or download Zune music channels. The Zune PC soft ware functions as a sync client for WinPhone devices in the same manner that iTunes does for iPhones. Plugging your device into your PC initiates an automatic two-way sync (if you prefer), although you can also set up your phone to sync with your home PC via the wireless network if you prefer.

Application support is clearly Windows Phone’s biggest weakness. At launch, some hyperbasic categories such as instant messaging, Dropbox, and Google Voice weren’t available. That’s a big concern. It’s probably just a matter of time before we see thousands of apps filling Windows Phone 7’s marketplace. But if you’re looking for apps right now, you’ll be sorely disappointed.

IN CONCLUSION
Days aft er the launch, one of Maximum PC’s Facebook fans, I Jedi, summed things up with a key question about Windows Phone 7: What is Microsoft bringing to the table that will encourage adoption of its platform? It’s a fair question. The user interface design is so strikingly different that everyone wants to touch it. That’s a great start. But smartphone users are going to need more from WinPhones. More apps, more features, more functionality. More.

We confess to being intrigued and enamored by Windows Phone 7 as much for what it
does well now as for what it might accomplish in the future. In 12 months’ time, we envision a mobile OS with built-in remote connectivity to our desktop, our media server, and our home network. We envision a massive games library, with deep hooks to our Windows and Xbox games. We see built-in file sharing via SkyDrive. And yes, we see cut and paste.

The 12–18 month smartphone-upgrade cycle we all live by means that Microsoft has definitely inserted itself into the smartphone conversation. We’ll see what happens next.

Windows Phone 7: Ready for Action

Ultimately, the colorful, striking home screen is the first thing people notice about any Windows Phone 7 smartphone, and that’s a good thing. In fact, it is the best possible reaction Microsoft could hope for.

The truth is that, given the large gap between Microsoft and its competition, namely Android and the iPhone, anything less than extraordinary would have doomed Windows Phone 7 from the start. There’s a greater truth here, however—one that has heretofore gone unspoken. Since U.S. Robotics’ debut of the Palm Pilot in 1996, we’ve been essentially stuck with the same look and feel for our PDAs and smartphones. Sure, Android extends the desktop metaphor a little bit, but isn’t it pretty much a Windows/Mac desktop?

So, we’re happy to see something different. And we’re slightly surprised to see such a refined and polished mobile operating system. It’s not perfect though. Windows Phone lacks deep layers of customization and cut/copy/paste functionality, and there’s a dearth of third-party app support. But it’s different in a good way, so much so that critics are having a hard time identifying what it is about this fledgling OS that makes people so happy. That’s a good sign for Microsoft and a better sign for all of us.

Over the next four pages, we’re going to take a deeper look at the OS and pit it in a head-to-head battle against Google Android. Welcome to the smartphone party, Microsoft. You’re late, but we’re glad you’re here.

Showtime The 5 Biggest Future Threats

SMARTPHONE ATTACKS Smartphones such as BlackBerrys, iPhones, and Droids have become the go-to devices for email, text messaging, shopping, and online banking, and the attackers have taken notice. There have been some limited, narrowly focused attacks already, but this will increase signifi cantly in the near future.

MALICIOUS APPS We’ve already seen a few malicious apps that have made their way into the various smartphone app stores, including iTunes and the Android Market. This is incredibly fertile ground for the bad guys, who are interested in compromising as many devices as possible and being as quiet about it as they can. A trojan disguised as a game or an online banking app is a quick way to do just that.

PRE-INFECTED HARDWARE DEVICES There have been a number of examples of USB keys, mobile phones, and even digital photo frames being infected with malware before they leave the factory. Expect to see more of this, including malware pre-installed on laptop hard drives, in the years ahead, because a small payment for every device infected is an easy way for a low-paid factory worker to make a lot of money quickly.

MAC ATTACKS As the Mac platform’s popularity continues to grow, attackers will focus more and more of their attention on it. Expect to see more malware specifi cally designed to compromise Macs and iPhones as attackers begin to fi gure out useful attack vectors.

HIGHLY TARGETED PHISHING Mass phishing attacks are inefficient and attackers have turned their attention to highly targeted attacks, perhaps against a handful of key employees in a given organization who have access to valuable data. Emails that appear to come from a trusted customer, partner, or colleague and contain malicious PDFs or Excel spreadsheets have been a very successful vector and will continue to spread, especially among sophisticated attack crews with time and resources for reconnaissance.

Smartphone Security

It is much smaller than your desktop PC, but the risks are equally great .........

Hang on Tight
Currently, the number one threat to smartphone users is having the device end up in the wrong hands, through theft or loss. Your first line of defense, therefore, is constant vigilance regarding your smartphone’s whereabouts.
Use a Password and Encryption
Should your phone get lost or stolen, a good first layer of protection is a password, an option many phone users neglect. Choose the strongest password option available—a passphrase, for instance, rather than a four-digit code or swipe pattern. Encryption options vary among mobile OSes, but when possible, you should encrypt your storage card as well as your device memory. Back Up Your Data Just as with a PC, backing up your smartphone is important. Regularly synching the device to a linked computer will do the trick. It’s insurance against the loss of your phone, corruption of your OS, or any other event that jeopardizes your data.
Don’t Store Sensitive Data
The surest way to guard your sensitive data is to keep it off your smartphone altogether. Minimize the number and/or days of emails you store on your phone, or better yet, save email and attachments to a server. Make it a habit to regularly move or delete anything you wouldn’t want to share with strangers.
Practice App Awareness
An abundance of apps is both a blessing and a curse for smartphones—there is no way every app that makes it to market can be thoroughly vetted for 100 percent fail-safe security. By selecting reputable apps, backed by favorable user reviews, from a trusted source, you can diminish the risks. Avoid apps with scant reviews or that have only recently been uploaded. Also be cautious when granting an app permissions; consider the app’s function and what it might reasonably need access to.
Keep Software/Firmware Updated
Make sure you are running the latest versions of your apps, OS, and phone manufacturer software and fi rmware. This will ensure that any security holes are patched and your device is less vulnerable to hacks.
Disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi When Not in Use
Unsecured wireless networks can be used by hackers to either attack your phone or steal information from it. You can protect yourself by keeping Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off when you don’t need them. When wireless is needed, stick to known Wi-Fi networks using WPA2 and beware of public networks, which are sometimes set up by crooks to snare people’s data.
When using Bluetooth, make sure it’s in non-discoverable mode to avoid hacks like “Bluesnarfi ng” (stealing data), “Bluejacking” (sending unsolicited messages), and “Bluebugging” (listening in on your calls).
Beware of Links and Attachments
You’ve long been warned about the risks of opening strange links and attachments— particularly those arriving in unsolicited emails or text messages. All those same warnings apply to smartphones. And those warnings also apply to calling unfamiliar phone numbers received in messages, and clicking links for app “updates.” You can ensure the authenticity of an update by going to the app’s website.

Top 5 Threat Vectors Showtime

JAVASCRIPT JavaScript is the root of many threats, since it is universally used by many applications such as web browsers and document readers. The Gumblar botnet is an active botnet that uses server-side polymorphic JavaScript code to infect machines, thus leveraging the language to start its dirty work. This means that each time you visit an infected Gumblar site, a new (previously unseen) script is sent to your browser that will begin fingerprinting—looking for software vulnerabilities. Once fingerprinted, the JavaScript will then attempt to serve up malicious exploits through other vectors such as PDF/Flash.

PDF/FLASH VULNERABILITIES There have been many zero-day vulnerabilities disclosed (and exploited) in 2010 based on PDF/Flash. These exploits have pioneered new attacks that bypass enhanced security measures such as address space layout randomization(ASLR) and data execution prevention (DEP). Due to the ubiquity of PDF/Flash technology, attackers use these vulnerabilities as a favorite way to infect machines. Oftentimes, end users think they cannot become infected through document/media fi les (only executables); this mentality needs to change quickly, because these vulnerabilities now present a very real and serious threat.
BOTNETS Once a machine is infected, there is another threat vector that exists—a botnet’s command and control (C&C) channel. Every botnet needs to phone home in order to receive commands and send stolen data. We see this as a potent threat vector, since if this channel is blocked, no instructions can be carried out, and no stolen information can be sent. There are lots of innovative ways that botnets try to discretely access C&C channels, but the most prevalent way remains HTTP, and, as a result, we deem the HTTP protocol itself a nasty threat vector. Most botnets will simply use RFC-compliant HTTP POST/GET commands; however, some will encrypt the payload to avoid detection.
XSS HOLES Cross-site scripting (XSS) holes have always been on the radar as one of the most dangerous web-based threats and continue to enjoy success because plenty of holes still exist on the web. A great example is a worm that hit Twitter in September 2010, where malicious tweets were sent out utilizing a freshly discovered XSS hole. While Twitter took quick action to shut this down, the worm was highly effective since it only required a user to roll their mouse over a link without having to click (it used the JavaScript onMouseOver technique). By doing so, the worm would then send further malicious tweets on that user’s behalf.
Persistent and nonpersistent XSS holes exist because of development oversights when implementing websites. Because they have existed for a while, and continue to be a problem, it is important to underscore the necessity of safe development practices to mitigate these threats.
THUMB DRIVES USB drives are actually one of, if not the most, common ways you can infect a network from inside a fi rewall. There are several reasons for this: They’re cheap, small, hold a lot of data, and can be used among multiple computer types. The ubiquity of thumb drives has driven hackers to develop targeted malware, such as the notorious Confi cker worm, that can automatically execute upon connecting with a live USB port. What’s worse is that default operating system confi gurations typically allow most programs(including malicious ones) to run automatically.

Setting Up Windows Home Server ‘Vail’

Get the beta version of Vail is simple if you already use Windows Connect (http://connect.microsoft. Com home server / Windows). Otherwise, you must create an account.

The beta version is in the form of a downloadable ISO, so you'll burn a DVD from ISO, or install it on a USB memory Speedlight using Microsoft Windows 7 USB DVDto tool (http://store.microsoft.com/help/ISOtool). Since no optical drive is included in this release, the configuration was run from a USB flash drive 8 GB of flash.

Basic installation took place without incident, but when the system reboots WHS office for updates, a strange problem arose. Vail had no drivers for the integrated Intel Gigabit Ethernet hardware. It does not recognize Atheros Wi-Fi adapter, but could not connect to my home network when security is enabled.

Instead of asking for a password (for Wi-Fi) or ask the hard disk (for port gigabit), the system displays a screen that says no network connection available. The only option was to "Reboot". If you reboot, you will leave the words same results other hand, in an infinite loop! Obviously, this is a mistake, but hey, this is beta software, right?

Way to avoid this error is to press Ctrl-Alt-Del when the system searches the network (but before the "network not found" window will open). The right selection key, kill the process that checks for updates and then install the driver manually.

Installing the Connector software for Individual users is easier than in the original version of WHS. No need to copy the application on a CD or USB, or manually, go to server to download it.

The Vail Dashboard is more user-friendly, and actually has useful built-in help and walk-throughs.

Instead, open a browser and type the name of http://server / connect, where the server name is the name you gave to the server during installation. Then you can download and install the WHS connector on the target system. Note that a version of the connector can be downloaded for Mac OS X and Windows.

If you have a computer set to automatically start Windows, install the WHS Connector want to disable this function. Until WHS has begun, and all passwords are set consistently, you must manually log in as this is a home server, Business Server, we recommend you log in the system, and an account! Sign in to your WHS the same. When the user names and passwords are created and are the same, you can re-enable automatic login to the computer.

You’ll want to confi gure automatic backups once you’ve got all your systems set up.

It’s easy to confi gure the new media server capabilities, including transcoding-quality settings.

Instead, open a browser and type the name of http://server / connect, where the server name is the name you gave to the server during installation. Then you can download and install the WHS connector on the target system. Note that a version of the connector can be downloaded for Mac OS X and Windows.

If you have a computer set to automatically start Windows, install the WHS Connector want to disable this function. Until WHS has begun, and all passwords are set consistently, you must manually log in as this is a home server, Business Server, we recommend you log in the system, and an account!

TOP 10 Ancient Highways

In this world there are so many Ancient Highways. On this occasion I will write about TOP 10 Ancient Highways scattered in various parts of the world.

The Old North Trail, North America
Blackfoot Indians traveled along the Old Northern Road, which originally extended about 2,000 miles (3220 km) from Canada to Mexico, along the "backbone of the world" that the Americans later called the Rockies. It took four years Blackfoot to get from one end to the travel industry, travel to the sacred, or find a wife. You can visit the fragments are still visible in Glacier National Park in Montana.


The Nakasendo Highway, Japan
This narrow, 17 highway linking century Kyoto and Edo (modern Tokyo) was built along the route of an old track. Running to 310 miles (500 km) along the shores of Lake Biwa, through mountain ranges and down on the Kanto plain around Edo, it was meant for horses and pedestrians and Japan not to use carts. Parts of the quiet road has been preserved and restored, which means you have to walk to, like most of its original passengers did.


The Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail, Hong Kong, China
For centuries, people traveled along the rough road between Yuen Long and Tsuen Wan in what is now New Territories of Hong Kong. Today, the two ends of the embedded path into a sprawl many malls and traffic jams, but the medium is still a delightful oasis of peace.


The Khmer Highway, Cambodia/Thailand
This former 140-mile (225 km) road from Angkor, Cambodia, and Phimai, Thailand, and was sacred to the Cambodian empire "god-king" who traveled the road visiting temples and religious ceremonies with fire, water and linga (phallic sculptures of stone). Most are now covered with jungle, but you can still visit many temples and drive an area close to Phimai.


The Old Great North Road, Australia
The famous masterpiece of the 19 st century technology, the road is also a sad but condemn the use of employees, some strains, to build it. It 'started in Sydney and ended in Newcastle in New South Wales Hunter Valley. Some sections follow the ancient indigenous songs.


The Persian Royal Road, Turkey to Iran
Darius the Great of Persia developed this road linking the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, the career of Sardis northwestern Turkey through Mesopotamia to Susa in Iran. King Midas, the prophet Daniel, Queen Esther, the historian Herodotus, and conqueror Alexander the Great found in the call of those who traveled along it.


The King’s Highway, Egypt to Syria

New Found Comet; May Be Visible From Earth In 2013

It is found comet approaches the sun, and when you get here in 2013, you may be able to see with the naked eye.

Astronomers came across the icy intruder June 5 during the search for potentially hazardous asteroids.

Equipped with the most camera-1, 400 million pixels, the University of Hawaii Pan-STARRS team hung a small picture of the strange object while he was over 700 million miles (1.1 billion km), between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. (Explore an interactive solar energy.)

"Almost everything we find is an asteroid, but this object was suspect," said Richard Wainscoat, co-discoverer of the comet and an astronomer at the University of Hawaii.

"Unlike asteroids, which appear as points in the images, was the telltale sign that it has distributed to its appearance blurred."

In March 2013, the comet, named C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) are expected within 30 million miles (48,000,000 kilometers) closer to the sun that even the innermost planet, Mercury.

When the comet makes its closest to the sun, more of its ice evaporates, which increases its envelope foggy gas and dust, producing the familiar tail.

This denser envelope, or coma, should increase the peak brightness of the comet, so it can be seen with the naked eye low in the west just after sunset.

Runaway South comet

Although there is no danger of collision with Earth, the preliminary calculations of the orbit of the comet indicates that this could be the first and last trip through the solar system.

"That could be coming around the sun first, and only to be expelled from the solar system, never to return," said Wainscoat.

"Why do not we have a lot of information, do not really know the track pretty well right now, and it takes up to two months to determine the outcome."

Astronomers believe that C/2011 L4 can be a fugitive from the Oort Cloud, a reservoir of billions of comets that orbit in hibernation about 100,000 times more than the distance between Earth and sun.

"The current path of the comet is typical of those suspected of being derived from the Oort Cloud, said he comes from the south the land rises in the back of the sun and in the northern sky, just nearly perpendicular to the planet in the solar system "Wainscoat said.

That's going around the back of the sun from our point of view may ultimately affect the visibility of the comet, but much depends on the proximity of the body is actually the sun.

Even if a comet is north or south of the sun, when it reaches peak brightness of which hemisphere of the earth can have a better picture.

For now, "we think it will be a target of binoculars easy, but it may well do so to open the eyes level and there is even a potential that can be visible during the day," said Wainscoat.

"But it's just really too early to tell. We can not know for sure until a couple of weeks before it arrives."

ONE OF THE HEROES OF BLACK HAWK DOWN IS A CONVICTED CHILD MOLESTER

The movie Black Hawk Down was one of the biggest box office draws of 2001, and it earned its director, Ridley Scott, an Oscar nomination. (He didn't win, but the movie got two Academy Awards for editing and sound.) Based on Mark Bowden's nonfiction book of the same title, it concerns the disastrous raid of Mogadishu, Somalia, by US elite soldiers in 1993.


One of these Special Forces soldiers underwent a name-change as he moved from the printed page to the big screen. Ranger John "Stebby" Stebbins became Ranger Danny Grimes when played by Scottish heartthrob Ewan McGregor. Why? Because in 2000, Stebbins was courtmartialed and sent to the stockade for rape and sodomy of a child under twelve.

This decidedly unheroic turn of events was confirmed by the Army, the Fort Leavenworth military prison (Stebby's home for the next 30 years), and Black Hawk Down's author. Bowden told the New York Post that the Army asked him to change Stebbins' name in the screenplay in order to avoid embarrassing the military.

In an email to the newspaper, Stebby's ex-wife, Nora Stebbins, wrote: "They are going to make millions off this film in which my ex-husband is portrayed as an All-American hero when the truth is he is not."

The U.S. Government Is The Number Of Convictions Obtained TERRORISM

Naturally, the Justice Department likes to trumpet the convictions of terrorists. Otherwiselaunch a major advertising and enable people to sleep comfortably at night, this means more money for the department. The problem is that the numbers are a farce.


The story began when the Philadelphia Inquirer examined the belief that the legal framework Department said that terrorism involved in the five years ending September 30, 2001 May.They found ridiculous examples of misclassification:

In one striking example, a U.S. assistant attorney San Francisco asked the district judgeMarilyn H. Patel on Monday to tighten Arizona man was convicted of drunk on a United Airlines flight from Shanghai, repeatedly rang the call button, requires more alcohol, and put his hands on a stewardess. Justice Department records show the case
as "domestic terrorism".

In another case, "fighting the eviction of the tenant called the landlord, impersonated an FBI agent, and said that the agency does not want the tenant evicted. The man recognized the voice and donor called the real FBI. "

Another "terrorist" incidents included prisoners rioting for better food, "former court employee who shoved and threatened a judge, "and" [s], although the Chinese sailors [who] were convicted resume a Taiwanese fishing boat and sail in the U.S. to Guam, where they hoped To obtain political asylum. "

After this conspiracy was exposed, the Republican Congressman Dan Burton asked the General Accounting Office - a unit that examines the issues of government is not partisan Congress - to consider the Justice Department alleged conviction for terrorism. Indeed, the GAO indicated that the situation is not as rosy as we said.

In the years after 9 / 11 - from September 30, 2001, on that date the following year - Justice Department said that 288 terrorists have been convicted in the United States for their heinous crimes. But the GAO found that at least 132 of these cases (about 42 per cent) had nothing to do with to terrorism. Because the methodology of the GAO has not reviewed all of the other 166 words, it refers to its accuracy as "doubtful."

The disappointment is even worse when you approach the cases classified as "international terrorism, "which is the most sensational of all. of 174 such sentences, 131 (a astonishing 75 per cent) was not really about terror. After all this humiliation, the Justice Department should have cleaned up their act, right? This is what told the Philadelphia Inquirer. Well, the monitoring role on "terrorism" in the first case two months of 2003. Of the 56 federal cases allegedly related to terrorism, were at least 41 false. Eight of them involved Puerto Ricans protest use of Vieques as a naval attack area. The prosecutor dealing with these cases, says he does not know because they have been classified such as terrorism. Similarly, 28 Latinos arrested for working at airports with false papers, and U.S. attorney spokesman said they were not suspects, including terrorism.

The most ridiculous, "a Middle Eastern man indicted in Detroit for allegedly passing NSF has the same name as the leader of Hezbollah. "

THE CIA COMMITS OVER 100,000 SERIOUS CRIMES EACH YEAR

It's no big secret that the Central Intelligence Agency breaks the law. But just how often its does in is a shocker. A Congressional report reveals that the CIA's spooks "engage in highly illegal activities" at least 100,000 times each year (which breaks down to hundreds of crimes every day). Mind you, we aren't talking about run-of-the-mill illegal activities — these are "highly illegal activities" that "break extremely serious laws."


In 1996, the House of Representatives' Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released a huge report entitled "IC21: The Intelligence Community in the 21st Century." Buried amid hun-dreds of pages is a single, devastating paragraph:

The CS [clandestine service] is the only part of the IC [intelligence community], indeed of the government, where hundreds of employees on a daily basis are directed to break extremely serious laws in countries around the world in the face of frequently sophisticated efforts by foreign governments to catch them. A safe estimate is that several hundred times every day (easily 100,000 times a year) DO [Directorate of Operations] officers engage in highly illegal activities (according to foreign law) that not only risk political embarrassment to the US but also endanger the freedom if not lives of the participating foreign nationals and, more than occasionally, of the clandestine officer himself.

Amazingly, there is no explanation, no follow-up. The report simply drops this bombshell and moves on as blithely as if it had just printed a grocery list.

One of the world's foremost experts on the CIA — John Kelly, who uncovered this revelation — notes that this is "the first official admission and definition of CIA covert operations as crimes." He goes on to say:

The report suggested that the CIA's crimes include murder and that "the targets of the CS[Clandestine Service] are increasingly international and transnational and a global presence is increasingly crucial to attack those targets." In other words, we are not talking about simply stealing secrets. We are talking about the CIA committing crimes against humanity with de facto impunity and con-gressional sanctioning.

Other government documents, including CIA reports, show that the CIA's crimes include terrorism, assassination, torture, and systematic violations of human rights. The documents also show that these crimes are part and parcel of deliberate CIA policy (the[congressional] report notes that CIA personnel are "directed" to commit crimes).

ONE OF THE POPES WROTE AN EROTIC BOOK

Before he was Pope Pius II, Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini was a poet, scholar, diplomat, and rakehell. And an author. In fact, he wrote a bestseller. People in fifteenth-century Europe couldn't get enough of his Latin novella Historia de duobus amantibus. An article in a scholarly publication on literature claims that Historia "was undoubtedly one of the most read stories of the whole Renaissance." The Oxford edition gives a Cliff Notes version of the storyline: "The Goodli History tells of the illicit love of Euralius, a high official in the retinue of the [German] Emperor Sigismund, and Lucres, a married lady from Siena [Italy]."


It was probably written in 1444, but the earliest known printing is from Antwerp in 1488. By the turn of the century, 37 editions had been published. Somewhere around 1553, the short book appeared in English under the wonderfully old-school title The Goodli History of the Moste Noble and Beautyfull Ladye Lucres of Scene in Tuskane, and of Her Louer Eurialus Verye Pleasaunt and Delectable vnto ye Reder. Despite the obvious historical interest of this archaic Vatican porn, it has never been translated into contemporary language. (The passages quoted below mark the first time that any of the book has appeared in modern English.)

The 1400s being what they were, the action is pretty tame by today's standards. At one point, Euralius scales a wall to be with Lucres: "When she saw her lover, she clasped him in her arms. There was embracing and kissing, and with full sail they followed their lusts and wearied Venus, now with Ceres, and now with Bacchus was refreshed." Loosely translated, that last part means that they shagged, then ate, then drank wine.

His Holiness describes the next time they hook up:
Thus talking to each other, they went into the bedroom, where they had such a night as we judge the two lovers Paris and Helen had after he had taken her away, and it was so pleasant that they thought Mars and Venus had never known such pleasure....
Her mouth, and now her eyes, and now her cheeks he kissed. Pulling down her clothes, he saw such beauty as he had never seen before. "I have found more, I believe," said Euralius, "than Acteon saw of Diana when she bathed in the fountain. What is more pleasant or more fair than these limbs?... O fair neck and pleasant breasts, is it you that I touch? Is it you that I have? Are you in my hands? O round limbs, O sweet body, do I have you in my arms?... O pleasant kisses, O dear embraces, O sweet bites, no man alive is happier than I am, or more blessed."...
He strained, and she strained, and when they were done they weren't weary. Like Athens, who rose from the ground stronger, soon after battle they were more desirous of war.

But Euralius isn't just a horndog. He waxes philosophical about love to Lucres' cousin-in-law:
You know that man is prone to love. Whether it is virtue or vice, it reigns everywhere. No heart of flesh hasn't sometime felt the pricks of love. You know that neither the wise Solomon nor the strong Sampson has escaped from this passion. Furthermore, the nature of a kindled heart and a foolish love is this: The more it is allowed, the more it burns, with nothing sooner healing this than the obtaining of the loved. There have been many, both in our time and that of our elders, whose foolish love has been the cause of cruel death. And many who, after sex and love vouchsafed, have stopped burning. Nothing is better when love has crept into your bones than to give in to the burning, for those who strive against the tempest often wreck, while those who drive with the storm escape.

Besides sex and wisdom, the story also contains a lot of humor, as when Lucres' \ husband borrows a horse from Euralius: "He says to himself, 'If you leap upon my horse, I shall do the same thing to your wife.'"

Popes just don't write books like that anymore!
