Report: Microsoft collaborated closely with NSA - CNN.com

No outrage out of me, but I'd like to know everyone's input on this. I think it's safe to say we all assumed this in the first place, while some of us just don't care.

Windows 8. Enough said.

"The NSA allegedly listened in on numerous video calls made via Skype, which Microsoft bought two years ago. And Microsoft also worked with the FBI this year to give the NSA easier access to its cloud storage service SkyDrive, which has more than 250 million users worldwide, according to the Guardian's report, published Thursday."

When Obama said he was going to run the most transparent administration ever, what he really ment is the citizens of this country private and personal information will be transparent to the government.

Snail mail FTW

If you don't like it, get enough people to vote for legislators in executives that explicitly will change government so that it doesn't work this way. If you aren't able to secure enough support for your position to overcome those who support the Democrats and Republicans instead, then accept that your preferences are not shared with that many others and you'll just have to abide by the decisions of the vast majority of Americans in this regard, since it isn't a matter of basic rights (even if you want to deceive yourself into thinking it is).

Exclamation The NSA takes it to the next level

Can you be electrocuted by your smartphone? - CNN.com

Not only are they listening, but they are shocking you!

Oh, and it happened to a Chinese women, so that means the NSA is racist.

This can only happen if the energy is bounced off a chemtrail by the HAARP device.
