The Americans Freedom Paradox continues in which Afro American mothers fight to bring awareness to a nation that clearly shows no value in the lives of Afro Americans.
To paraphrase Alexis de Tocqueville, the causality of a Revolution upon
America's soil lies not in its ability to proclaim Freedom but in its
inability to accept its dichotomy of Justice may give rise hereto.
Jordan Davis, Michael Brown, Trayvon Benjamin Martin and the many innocent Afro American Murdered through acts of Terrorism is America's 2014 Emmett Till reality.
In medieval Europe, when a man vanquished his enemy, he killed the enemy’s wife, the enemy’s children and any other kin he could find. It was brutal; it was terrible. But it was done so that the enemy’s family would have no support, strength or even knowledge of who the man was. So that no one else in the enemy’s family would take up the mantle of revenge upon him or the next generation. Destroy the family, they knew back then, and you destroy everything.
"America in the 1940s" as well as Toady's America is no different."Malcolm X’s father, Earl Little, was a pivotal figure in the fight for black rights. In X: A Novel, co-authorIlyasah Shabazz—the third daughter of Malcolm X—recounts how her grandfather “was instrumental in getting Garvey out of jail” and “circulated the petition against the government for violating the human rights of Negroes in the United States.” So Earl was attacked. First the Ku Klux Klan burned his house down, and when that failed to stop him, KKK members killed him one night." - The Root

In Tuscaloosa today, nearly one in three black students attends a school that looks as if Brown v. Board of Education never happened. Central High is one of those schools. Meet Principal Clarence Sutton Jr. as he fights to save his students from the effects of resegregation.
This short film by Maisie Crow is part of ProPublica's investigation into the resegregation of America's schools. Sixty years after Brown v. Board ruled "separate but equal" had no place in education, many schools have moved back in time, isolating poor black and Latino students in segregated schools.

Predating the release of Atari’s Video Computer System by a year, the Channel F was the first videogame machine that used interchangeable game cartridges, which Fairchild sold separately. Previous game machines like Atari’s Pong and the Magnavox Odyssey had all their games built into the hardware. Lawson’s pioneering design set the standard for the game consoles of today. - WIRED
"Google’s first foray into the domain name registration
market launched with support for a number of standard features, like
free private registration, free email forwarding to your Gmail inbox,
free domain forwarding, support for up to 100 sub-domains, and support
for the growing number of new domain endings (like .guru and .club) that
are now emerging.
Google said at the time its service also includes phone support,
indicating Google’s intention to market it more to business customers. | TechCrunch

Google paid $5 billion to Android developers across the world between June 2013 and June 2014. The $5 billion figure is lower than Apple’s, but not by as much as a person might think. For all of 2013, Apple paid developers $8 billion on more than $10 billion in App Store revenue. Yes, Google is behind (especially when it comes to average revenue per user), but the gross volume of Android helps make up the difference across the world.
The new twist comes after the Falcon 9's first stage finishes its main
job. Three minutes after launch, the second stage is due to separate and
fire up its own rocket engine to continue the trip. Then the first
stage is slated to relight its rocket engines and go through a complex
series of maneuvers to put itself safely down on a 300-foot-long,
170-foot-wide (91-by-52-meter) "autonomous spaceport drone ship" in the
Atlantic Ocean - NBC News.com

plan for SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket during Friday's space station resupply
mission.
“Whoever is involved, those are the people who were there. I wasn’t
there. I can only speak to the great man that I know and love, who has
been so generous, who has been such a philanthropist and giving back
millions of dollars to education and schools. And just the man I grew up
knowing. It’s really not my place to speak on that. Unfortunately, in
the court of public opinion everyone has formed their opinion, but we’re
still in America and you’re innocent until proven guilty of any
crimes.”
IMSI catchers, otherwise known as stingrays,
are those surveillance tools that masquerade as cell towers and trick
mobile phones into connecting, spewing private data in the process.
Law-enforcement agencies have been using them for awhile, but there's never been a good way for individuals to detect them. But that was before SnoopSnitch.
SnoopSnitch scans for radio signals that indicate a transition to a stingray from a legitimate cell tower.
"SnoopSnitch collects and analyzes mobile radio data to make you aware
of your mobile network security and to warn you about threats like fake
base stations (IMSI catchers), user tracking and over-the-air updates."
And just when you though Mobile Phones where safe for private discussions, financial transactions and not to mention those unmentionable selfies.
Google engineer Adrienne Porter Felt realized during a flight on Friday
that, for Google services and possibly others, Gogo was undermining
encryption meant to keep pages secure.
As Neowin first reported,
the certificate which was supposed to show that Felt had a secure HTTPS
connection to Google.com was raising a red X alert because it wasn’t
signed by Google. It was signed by Gogo. Undermining the SSL/TLS
protocols meant to encrypt data transmitted to and from a site is called
a man-in-the-middle attack, and Gogo carries these out on its own
users. The measures could give the company access to lots of user
financial data because of the phony certificates.-Slate.com
All must be very careful when using any publicly available WIFI services. All are potential security risk for man-in-the-middle attacks.
The new system should be fully operational by October and will eventually boast a 5 petaflop capacity, nearly double what close observers of the National Weather Service had anticipated. One petaflop is equivalent to a million billion floating point calculations per second.
These supercomputing upgrades will significantly improve our ability to translate data into actionable information...
The upgrade would have come sooner, but last year IBM sold its
supercomputing division to Lenovo, a Chinese company. “That froze us,”
National Weather Service Director Louis Uccellini recently told Mashable.
Having its supercomputers made by a Chinese company raised “red flags”
in Congress, so a new deal had to be assembled from scratch. -Slate.com
