Even as a Mac user, you may have heard about Bing, at least you may have seen it demonstrated in commercials [1]. But if your default search engine on your Mac is all for sudden switched to Bing, this may be due to another piece of legacy software that some Mac users may have a hard time living without : Microsoft's Internet Explorer. So why not just search ("google") if there is a version for OSX:

In short: I don't think this software does anything illegal. It clearly advertises what it does. If you feel otherwise, you can file a complaint with courts in Cyprus where the company is located.

Terrorgruppen Islamiska staten (IS) rycker nu starkt fram mot den kurdiska staden Kobane i norra Syrien. Nästan alla civila uppges ha flytt, och snart riskerar IS svarta flaggor att synas i staden. På torsdagen gav Turkiets parlament regeringen rätt att ingripa militärt i Syrien och Irak, och att ge utländska styrkor rätt att använda turkisk mark för angrepp mot jihadisterna.

blottsie (3618811) writes with a link to the Daily Dot's "comprehensive analysis of hundreds of police raids and arrests made involving Tor users in the last eight years," which explains that "the software's biggest weakness is and always has been the same single thing: It's you." A small slice: In almost all the cases we know about, it’s trivial mistakes that tend to unintentionally expose Tor users. Several top Silk Road administrators were arrested because they gave proof of identity to Dread Pirate Roberts, data that was owned by the police when Ulbricht was arrested. Giving your identity away, even to a trusted confidant, is always huge mistake. A major meth dealer’s operation was discovered after the IRS started investigating him for unpaid taxes, and an OBGYN who allegedly sold prescription pills used the same username on Silk Road that she did on eBay. Likewise, the recent arrest of a pedophile could be traced to his use of “gateway sites” (such as Tor2Web), which allow users to access the Deep Web but, contrary to popular belief, do not offer the anonymizing power of Tor. "There's not a magic way to trace people [through Tor], so we typically capitalize on human error, looking for whatever clues people leave in their wake," James Kilpatrick, a Homeland Security Investigations agent, told the Wall Street Journal.

I takt med att Natosoldaterna trappat ned sina insatser i Afghanistan har de afghanska styrkorna lidit allt större förluster. I år har 7 000-9 000 personer ur säkerhetsstyrkorna skadats eller dödats i strider mot talibanerna, enligt den nye amerikanske befälhavaren i landet. Året innan såg det ungefär likadant ut.
