Update: My Enemy the State...

New email encryption standard aims to keep government snoopers out

Two email providers, forced to close their services after the NSA demanded a backdoor, have proposed a new open standard for secure email that would be harder for security services and others to eavesdrop upon.

The encrypted email service Lavabit, and Silent Circle, a firm also encrypting phone calls and texts, are the founding members of the Darkmail Alliance, a service that aims to prevent government agencies from listening in on the metadata of emails.

The metadata is the information bundled up with the content of an email such as that showing the sender, the recipient and date the message was sent. Conventional email can never be made fully secure because the standard requires some metadata to be sent unencrypted.

Mike Janke, Silent Circle's chief executive and co-founder, said:

We want to get another dozen to two dozen email providers up and running on Darkmail architecture so that at any one time citizens of the world can choose two dozen email providers to get their email service from.

He said that the services Lavabit and Silent Mail kept too much data on the provider's server:

So what happened is you saw nation states can go to an email provider and coerce them into turning over the keys and decrypting.

The proposal of the alliance, it says, is as close to being compatible with conventional email as can be; users can send and receive insecure emails with contacts on normal services, and it is only when an email is sent between two accounts within the alliance that the message is encrypted and routed from one peer to the other without going through a central server.

The ultimate aim is to get the big email providers, such as Microsoft , Yahoo ! and Gmail , using the new standard too.

Tits and Glass...

Google rapidly changes its policies to ban an adult app for Google Glass


Link Here4th June 2013

The first pornography app for Google Glass launched, though not for long.

MiKandi, a developer of adult content apps, released Tits & Glass, an app for the connected glasses, which allows users to browse and vote on racy content. Glass users can record their own pornographic content or photos, and upload them to the app.

Jesse Adams, the CEO and co-founder of MiKandi, told ABC News:

You are literally recording what you see and sharing it. If someone else can see a little taste of what you saw in front of their eyes, that kind of interaction is really fun. It's that live personalized experience that you can then see on your eyes that's really interesting.

But Google doesn't wish to have people exploring porn through the glasses. The company has rapidly changed its policies surrounding pornographic content. Google's Glass Platform Developer Policies now reads:

We don't allow Glassware content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts or sexually explicit material,

A Google spokesperson added that Any Glassware that violates this policy will be blocked from appearing on Glass.

According to MiKandi, the clause was added to Google's policies over the weekend. The company plans to adjust the app to comply with Google's rules.

Grabbing a Slice of the Action...

GameLink runs contest seeking innovative ideas to use porn in conjunction with Wii or Kinect


Link Here14th January 2013

GameLink.com , a porn site and on-demand adult video company, is holding a contest to see who can best integrate its video catalog with a motion control device similar to Nintendo's Wii or the Kinect technology on an Xbox 360.

GameLink in press release and via Jeff Dillon, a vice president claimed:

Leap Motion will be able to sense the user's hand and finger movements for direct 3D interaction with the screen.

Nobody wants to use their keyboard or mouse anymore -- why not just a flick of the hand. Porn is eventually going the way of Minority Report ... or a hologram thing like Tupac at Coachella.

So far Dillon's had some good ideas, like a Fleshlight -- a sex toy -- that syncs up with the video playing in front of you. He said that motion-control technology has come a long way, and that complete sex simulations are only a wham-bam-thank-ya-ma'am away.

Unfortunately both Microsoft and Nintendo are miserable gits when it comes to adult fun. They don't seem keen on allowing people to use their systems for this type of thing.
