Fashion victims of snooping

Sat, 06 Feb 2027 11:43:52 -0500

The newest fashion victims have also fallen victims to snoopers, losing bank accounts, id cards and potentially compromised their contacts.
The latest fad, to implement intelligent makeup that lights up and reflects whatever you are working on your computer at the moment, following all kinds of retro movies in which the faces of the actors show a projection of the screen they are working on, has caught up with reality: now we have parties where the screen is in the guests body and face, the employers can walk by a work-farm and see the faces of employees heavy in the approved colors of the company, and football fans can display in ther face and torso the colors, the action and their favorite plays while at the game.
We have become ambulating screens.
However, that comes to a price: that same encrypted transmission to your face and arms becomes public when reflected on your face, and it takes nothing to guess the content of your screen. Even worse, a little type analysis can determine your passwords, so not only your accounts are exposed, but your access as well.

Please stop using your smart makeup when online - we can only cope with so much info, and really, who wants to see your private amateur porn?

Monkeys in space

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 10:39:02 -0500

The recent sentient monkeys have been finally sent to LEO, after long delays caused by the Space Union Workers, afraid of the consequences of this particular species of workers.
The SUW had denounced the space monkey programs as inhumane, first, and after they were successful, as evil, this time in association with the Fundamentalist Rock Christian Association, the same one that took over the RIAA.
When approaches to raise public awareness failed, the SUW went back for the violent approach, which further alienated it from the public opinion, thus undermining its cause and effectively making it easier for the Space Simian Company to engage both politicians and investors in an accelerated program.
Among the Rhesus monkeys that will stay in orbit for more than an Earth year is the famous Pencilbreaker, the first Rhesus to obtain a PhD. When asked about the decision to go to orbit, with all the perils it entails, Pencilbreaker only shrugged, and pointed to the SUW and the FRCA demonstrators parked outside the Elevator facilities, sending disrupting memes and setting up portable spamservers in the vicinity of the event.
The crew of twenty Rhesus will be followed by fifty nimps, New and Improved humans, with radiation proofing and vacuum resistant skins.

Defending the brands content

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 13:05:13 -0500

The Google spokesperson denied emphatically any wrondoing on their part: "We will do whatever is in our alcance to ensure we protect our content and the value of pur shareholders", as the three accused children were being scorted to a correction facility.
The three children were accused and found guilty of copying Google's logo and making patches for their own clothes; they stilyzed themselves as the "Google Gang", using that moniquer in their online and offline interactions. According to the company "we have to defend our shareholders interest, and that me ans preserving our brand identity and uniqueness. This should send a message to all the groups around that intend to pilfer our brand and culture."
A few independent groups, among those the EFF-AFL, were rallying for the freedom of the children, chanting "remember don't be evil". The brain of Brin is still in a jar somewhere in Stanfordtown, so he was unavailable for comments.
President Jenna Bush congratulated the company in its swift, decisive action.

The end of fileswappers

Different diseconomies

By Dan Poster, ASP
Scholars have found the reasons for the demise of the media industry in the early 21st century. It had to do with the prison terms for murder.
According to researchers from Xinghua University at Harvard Campus who have finally decrypted old files associated with the "content revolution" years, the industry started exacting enormous fines and trying to impose harsh prison terms to anyone caught sharing files or downloading them. Thanks to their political clout and a friendly government, these terms were easily enforced, thus resulting in a lockdown that paralleled the drug war.
"No to piracy" was a popular rally in the early 2000s, and one that resulted in thousands of incarcerated "fileswappers", as they were known then. With a government that depended absolutely on the media and the big content distribution companies, this was almost inevitable.
The problem with this scenario is what economists called an asymmetry: the prison term for copying files was significantly higher than that for killing a human being.
So, the mafia started offering protection schemes: if you received a cease and desist or similar, it was easy to go to the local padrino, and have him (it was almost always a man) threaten the poor paralegal that actually folded the letter that you received. That paralegal would then proceed to lose your case among the thousands of old files a large firm usually had, and everybody would be happy. If the paralegal refused, they died. Simply as that.
Of course, the firms had more mechanisms to ensure that the letters reached their destination, and the more prominent lawyers had protection, but the paralegals were the crucial interface, and easy targets at that.

The economics of filesharing were cruelly simple: Download a song, go to jail for five years. Kill the paralegal, go to jail for one year.

After a few years of this the industry transformed itself, and content became free and easily distributed, but all in all it has been estimated that there were at least two thousand deaths stemming from this "content revolution", and among its effects were the demise of the big media companies that didn’t adjust their business model as well as the party in power at the time.

That was also the origin of Killer Records, the biggest production and recording company, which proudly boasts about its dark origins.

Technological freedom

At last the courageous men and women that demanded a government hearing for their abuses could make their voices heard.
But this time it was achieved through the use of more subtle means. As your probably know from our previous news, the last three marches all have ended in massive arrests, and numerous and grave injuries to all present there. The brutal riot police and their tactics, including noise cannons and a mild version of mustard gas have all taken their toll, resulting even in deaths. Naturally, mainstream media has kept quiet.

This morning, though, the amassed group "Health and Liberty" had the use of specially nanofactured armored suits, that allowed the group to march even after the infamous noise guns went into full blast attack.

These nanosuits, which some sources say come from El Salvador, are distributedly encrypted and maintain integrity even when separated from the main group. The participants slap a two kilo past on their backs, and pretty soon the are completely protected from noise, gases and blasts, up to and including rifle fire, as the astounded police discovered this morning.

This nanotech is only one of the examples of the benefits for the people that the government of the USA is keeping away from the people. Luckily for us, there are other places where to get those suits.

Today there were no arrests, and more important, no injuries. Tomorrow, we will have the liberties that our forefathers included in their social contract. No more hiding behind closed doors. No more fear of beatings. Free expression!
Life to the Republic!

Riot at Sentry Park

Sat, 17 May 2025 02:11:24 -0500

Matthew Smith, APS

Today, at eight am. we were witnesses to one of the latests crazy riots that are plaguing the city as of lately. A throng of protesters violently attacked the platoon of Riot Control Patrolmen that were dispatched to make sure the day's celebrations were in order. MAny of these Patrolmen were injured in the clash, and about a third of the protesters, 105 in all, were arrested.

What distinguish this confrontation from others in the last weeks is the massive use of illegal nanoarmour. The protesters, all suited up in nanoarmor, were pressing on the Patrolmen, whoi, despite their efforts, could do nothing to keep the mass of the mobilization at bay. All in all more than forty of our brave Patrolmen were injured, and the Rights Protector was pressing charges to al of the arrested subversives.

This was Matthew Smith, reporting from the Sentry Plaza, May 17 2015.
