Any reason why they trusted this

precautions.
Facebook
says it was hacked, claims member data safe
Facebook today admitted that its
systems were hacked last month when staffers unknowingly installed
malware to laptops. The social network called the attack
sophisticated, but claimed that no user data was compromised.
"This attack occurred when a
handful of employees visited a mobile developer website that was
compromised," Facebook said in a statement
posted today on its security blog. "The compromised website
hosted an exploit which then allowed malware to be installed on these
employee laptops."
If you look up the role of Mangement,
you will find that managers: plan, organize, staff, direct, and
control. If you find a government boodogle like this, you will also
find that they failed to plan, organize, staff, direct, or control.
"According to the LA Times,
'California's computer problems, which have already cost taxpayers
hundreds of millions of dollars, have mounted as state
officials cut short work on a $208-million DMV technology overhaul
that is only half done. The state has spent $135 million total on
the overhaul so far. The state's contractor, HP Enterprise Services,
has received nearly $50 million of the money spent on the project.
Botello said the company will not receive the remaining $26 million
in its contract. ... Last week, the controller's office fired the
contractor responsible for a $371-million upgrade to the state's
payroll system, citing a trial run filled with mishaps. More than
$254 million has already been spent.' It's hard not to feel like the
Tokyo man in the street watching the latest round of Godzilla the
state vs. Rodan the big contractor."
The Feds may see this as a proper
interpretation of the law, but I wonder what a jury would think?
Nothing new, but a brief recap for my students.

Say Megaupload Entrapment Claim Is ‘Sensationalist Rhetoric’
Calling it “sensationalist rhetoric,”
federal authorities took the offensive late Thursday for the second
time in as many months to blast Megaupload for its contention that
the authorities entrapped the now-shuttered file-sharing service.
… Megaupload essentially contends
that, at a minimum, federal authorities punished Megaupload for
cooperating
with the prosecution of rival file-sharing site NinjaVideo. At a
maximum, Megaupload contends federal officials set up Megaupload for
its downfall.
The controversy centers on Megaupload
complying with a then-secret U.S. search warrant targeting five of
its users, who were running their own file-sharing service using
Megaupload’s infrastructure. Eighteen months before Megaupload was
indicted in January 2012, Megaupload complied with the warrant
and turned over a database on the 39 pirated movies detailed in the
warrant that linked the files to the file-sharing service NinjaVideo,
which was later indicted.
Though the feds had already begun
quietly investigating Megaupload months before, in this case the
government treated Megaupload as NinjaVideo’s internet service
provider, and asked it to keep the NinjaVideo warrant quiet.
Despite Megaupload’s cooperation, the
39 infringing NinjaVideo files were later
used against the popular file-sharing service (.pdf) as evidence
to seize Megaupload.com domains and prosecute Dotcom and others
connected to the site. That’s because Megaupload did not delete
the 39 movies from its servers. The government used
that fact to demonstrate that the company knew full well that its
service was being used for piracy.
Dang! I've been scooped. Now I have
to start my study of porn over from the beginning...

Inside: A Study of 10,000 Porn Stars and Their Careers
For the first time, a massive data set
of 10,000 porn stars has been extracted from the world’s largest
database of adult films and performers. I’ve spent the last six
months analyzing it to discover the truth about what the average
performer looks like, what they do on film, and how their role has
evolved over the last forty years.
