- jonbaer 11y agoI have always found this particular photo odd and showing up in a few strange places ... ie: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/10/how-can-international-security-keep-up-with-technology https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/10/how-can-international... http://www.newsweek.com/cia-having-xfiles-fun-ufos-421407 http://www.newsweek.com/cia-having-xfiles-fun-ufos-421407 http://www.ndtv.com/world-news/britain-to-unveil-plan-for-new-internet-spying-laws-1239812 http://www.ndtv.com/world-news/britain-to-unveil-plan-for-ne...
- OscarCunningham 11y agoPeople with no tables or chairs?
- jchendy 11y agoIf I was in that situation, I'd sit on the floor.

- jchendy 11y agoThe caption is kind of amusing with it's literal-ness and complete irrelevance to the story: > People are silhouetted as they pose with laptops in front of a screen projected with binary code and a Central Inteligence Agency (CIA) emblem, in this picture illustration taken in Zenica October 29, 2014.
- drostie 11y agoIt is; I think it may have been intended as alt-text rather than a caption. It's precisely the sort of description that you'd give to a blind person to describe "here's what this image is, in case you can't see it."
- Kenji 11y agoI did that once and my brand new laptop allmost fell on the floor. Cannot recommend.
- insin 11y ago> who uses a laptop that way? I didn't notice before, but now you mention it, it _is_ really strange that none of them are pointing or fake-laughing at the screen.
- Zikes 11y agoI don't understand why they're not wearing balaclavas. Don't they know we can see who they are now?!
- Wonderdonkey 11y agoDon't try that with your Surface Pro!
- bballer 11y agoL33t hackers at the CIA, duh!
- stronglikedan 11y agoI've used mine in a similar fashion on many occasions. However, I have more of a death-grip on it, where I rest it over my forearm horizontally, and grab the right side of the base with my left hand.
