Jailbreaking the PS4

Sony Playstation 4 owners will be pleased to hear that a custom firmware may soon be made available to anyone with the 4.50 beta firmware. A team at PSXHAX are publicly requesting testers for the PS4 hack. As many jailbroken PS3 and modded PS2 users would recall, all the benefits of having the releases for those consoles topped with an extra degree of exploration makes any unlocked game console a entertainment system to be held in high regard.

Until then, only users on official PS4 firmware 1.76 have the ability to install CFW. Currently, any PS3 firmware can be downgraded/jailbroken, except for a select few newer models.

Trump bars CNN and other MSM from WH Press Briefing

The New York Times, Politico, CNN, the Guardian, BuzzFeed, and others found themselves locked out of a press briefing at the White House. The pro-Trump media publications, such as Breitbart News, the One America News Network, and the Washington Times, were all  granted admission, as well as TV networks ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox News.

Claiming that the American people, including Trump, has been held hostage by the main stream media, the White House has indirectly shut the door in their faces. Granted, that there are numerous pictures being painted about this government and its leader by different media outlets (rightfully so), the assumption is that it has begun to get out of hand.

The attempt at closing the communication will most likely lead to further misalignment and disagreements as the white house press secretary cannot directly answer questions that are being asked. What is their goal, to disassociate further from the people? Lets put this in a playground environment, I'm sure the analogy applies. If one popular grade 5 kid excommunicates a group of friends, those friends will make up their own story as to why they didn't want to be friends with the popular kid in the first place. Subsequently, creating their own narrative on why they are the coolest and befriending any malcontent of the popular kid.

As much as we want to believe that CNN "loathes" Trump, he's their cash cow for ratings! I think its evident that anything new you say about trump will get attention, just what the media sells its body for.

It needs to be stated that media should not be censored at any level. It makes for a bad prescient. If people want to read the news from a particular angle, its up to the individual to find that publication. Typically, when there wasn't enough readers, that printing press would shut down. Now, we have the news shared online, even if you are against it you can go and quickly peruse the article, showing a hit on that site. With enough haters reading, it would seem like they actually have an audience (which they would). Its difficult to distinguish what news is praise worthy and what is utter bullshit when we only look at how many times it was read, because in both cases, that media outlet is making the same amount of money on advertising. This statistic can be upsetting to Trump supporters, but the deeper analysis of why people are reading it should be addressed.

Are we not in the age of information? If I want to watch space kitty all day, that's my choice, I don't need someone to tell me its wasting my time. I have google for that.

Bitcoin price hits 3-year record, striving to beat 2013 high

Ok, I can do this... I shudder every time I see or hear about bitcoins. I dived really deep into the world of crypto-currency when it was a new thing. In fact, my intent on starting a news network was based around the idea of sharing news and understanding surrounding bitcoins. Shortly after the take-down of silk road, I began to invest a great deal of time and money on the emerging currency. My partner at the time was such a proponent for the idea of using the new crypto-currency, I had hedged all my bets and put every fraction of bit-coin I earned, mined and purchased in my partner's name (everyone's done something like this at least once). It seemed as the value and the hyped popularity was disappearing, so was the foundation of our relationship. Its not easy to rekindle the magic I once had with bitcoin, so her and I will take our time and work things out slowly as I rediscover where its been all these years.

Its still very draining... one thing I can be sure of is that bitcoin has not crossed the line into being an investment or something to trade on the market. Its a currency, another form of energy to transfer from one medium to another, in exchange for food, gas, products, services, art and roses.

Electronic Writing Tablet, is it truely "ReMarkable?"

This new paper tablet must be a ton of fun for those who are constantly taking notes. I know this is exactly what I wanted in university. Instead, I used a PSP for wifi and browsing the links mentioned in class or googling stuff and page after page of paper notes (both sides).

There's not much to say about it, other than I would've been right up my alley. But unfortunately for me, I don't particularly have any daily uses for it. I'd love to get one to review, but I feel this technology arrived a bit too late since there has been a solid 10 years of clicking on keyboards in notebooks and phones since traditional pen and paper was commonplace.

Kim Jong Nam's Assassin said she was paid $90

Gotta hand it to her, she knows when to keep her mouth shut about incriminating information. Of course the girl would have an elaborate story to get her self out of any possible muddy water. What would you expect from a pre conceived public assassination.

Poor guy got killed, in my opinion, by his half brother who fears having potential heirs replace his position of "supreme leader." Anything that says supreme is usual purchased and consumed to leave waste product that we don't normally speak of.

To give a refresher, the girl was supposedly put up to a prank with another girl to blindfold then spray awaiting travelers with a light mist of water. Once they set their sights on Nam, they switched out the spray bottles and doused him with a fast acting poison. He died shortly thereafter.

Brit Arrested for Massive Hack on German Telecom

Today, news broke about a cybercriminal being caught not long after the alleged crime. Initially, the Russians were implicated in perpetrating this affair, but turned up to be a resident of UK. His creative scheme was to take down a million home routers on Deutsche Telekom's network, convert them to "botnets," then sell his newly claimed array on supposedly encrypted chats. All while evading detection and disabling more than 1 million home users internet.

More light is required on the matter to make a clear distinction on this event. I'm not claiming conspiracy, lets just inquire in its sumission to the public. How would Germans spot this character in a UK airport? What were the travel plans? What were his alledged crimes in UK? While the story was reported in The Local, RT was sure to pick up the story and announce triumphantly that it wasn't Russians after all.

I'm currently digging to see if we can pull up the alleged post in which he intended to sell his array. I am hesitant to say it, but the sheer scale of this take down and the irrational attempt to sell his success makes me wonder if a competent individual would allow himself to be picked up in an airport.

Why, if the Germans knew it was a UK man, point the finger at the Russians? That ship has sailed, this cold war narrative is very stale. Anyone with a sense of reality will start to question why we're constantly pointing the finger at Russia then subsequently retracting without missing a beat, even if they have "never experienced propaganda before."

Deutsche Telekom could've taken measures to prevent the sale of this hacked array, and they did. The apparent risk of allowing home routers to function as a botnet and then sold as a something functional is a joke. Even if the corporate giant's hands were tied, the home users simply needed to unplug their modem and send it in for a firmware fix. Most likely, the issue was resolved with an online update, assuming that the firmware on the routers is what was affected.

I want to stay as far away as I can to assume that this is quite possibly a False Flag attempt to impose new laws and tools for governments to overshadow the activity online. Timed conveniently when the home internet users needed a long awaited hardware update for their modems (clearly, since they were compromised). Ultimately, thats what will happen, this UK guy just made it more justifiable for states to impose control (although, I still don't agree with the practice).

More information to follow as this story carries the beginnings of a post-cyberpunk hollywood movie. ;)

A UK national has been detained in London on suspicion of carrying out a cyber-attack last year that left 1 million Deutsche Telekom customers without service. At the time, German Chancellor Angela Merkel hinted that Russia might be behind the attack. 

The 29-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday at Luton airport in southern England by officers from the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) at the request of the German police, The Local reported.

“The Briton stands accused of attempted computer sabotage in a particularly serious case,” German federal police and prosecutors said in a statement, adding that they will now seek the hacker’s extradition.
