In this hearing there has been so much smearing in reguards to Snowden's educational background. There are plenty of smart people who didn't graduate from high school.

I love how Gen. Alexander and friends are like, "We're so vulnerable!", and see no problem with storing mass amounts of information that is begging to be hacked.

Haven't you got the memo yet? According to the media we can't trust Snowden because he didn't graduate high school.

Maybe PRISM is just the front-end to the government service. After all, we know they are running multiple services. Greenwald is really sticking to his guns on direct access, and from what he's told us he has a lot more information.

Also, the incremental release strategy makes it easier to catch the government and companies involved telling lies and contradictions. Never show all your cards at once.

I wonder why Greenwald and the Guardian haven't released more information yet. Maybe they are waiting for all the tech news to die down? Are there any other major things happening this week?

I found these tweets a couple days ago from Glenn Greenwald. Click to see the full context, of course. "The highly detailed NSA technical materials on how they eavesdrop, that I have & am not publishing." [1] "You won&#x2

It doesn't seem like $20-million would even cover the cost of what the government is claiming PRISM actually is, so I think you're right.

Yeah. iCloud.com is a joke. They are using a native-esque UI/UX in the web browser and it just doesn't work. Until something drastic changes at Apple, Google will forever have superior web services.

I'll have to use the UI on a device to determine if I like it or not. All the blue, pink, and white reminds me of Flickr. I'm disappointed we didn't get custom default apps or the ability to set a custom search engine. I want

Which is rather humorous considering how articulate he was in the video of him being interviewed by Glenn Greenwald. You can tell immediately he's not your stereotypical drop out.

I wish there was a site to connect open-source projects who need better UIs with the designers over at Dribbble. On Dribbble you see a lot of UI concepts that never come to fruition. What if we could convince some of them to help build a be

I'm not a lawyer, but I believe they declared only part of FISA unconstitutional. The part they declared unconstitutional happens to be the primary crux of the legal argument for PRISM. I don't understand how you can have secret c

It's my understanding that the secret court ruled the primary legal justification for PRISM (FISA Section 702) as unconstitutional. The Justice Department is trying to keep that ruling as secret as possible. [1] So, really, what would

If they didn't receive any, I assume they can disclose that. I'm really not sure what this means, to be honest. Was anyone speculating that Google never received a FISA request of some sort? Does anyone know how common it is to se

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think that's correct. I believe they have to abide by the FISC ruling until a higher court rules in their favor. Obviously they don't want to take it to a higher court because then the publi

Point number 3 is irrelevant because if the companies implicated are involved with PRISM, they aren't allowed to tell the truth legally.

I found another tweet by Glenn saying that we won't see the full redacted presentation because "it contains very specific technical NSA means for collection - we'd probably be prosecuted if we did." I also found another
