The official trailer is now available on Apple [direct link].
Looks really good — just like Lord of the Rings it will win hundreds of awards. However the story isn’t and never was as good as the LOTR story. Still more excited for The Dark Knight Rises.
CNET Reports:
Hackers today released personal information for Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein.
The document, posted to the Pastebin Web site, includes the CEO’s age, recent addresses, details of litigation he has been involved in, as well as registration information for businesses, but no sensitive information such as financial data.
Hackers have really started to push the envelope with high level hacks. Groups like WikiLeaks, Anonymous, LulzSec, and The Script Kiddies all have made a heavy impact on government, media, and pop-culture as of late. Of course there is a price to pay for that as we have seen but the fact remains although you can arrest a person you cannot arrest an idea.
The obsession with information in this day and age stems from the fact it is initially kept from the public. It is held hostage. We are the sheep in this sense and the sheep herders decide where we can march and what we can see. Police brutality has become common place and financial terrorism perpetrated by the same people installed to run companies begs a response from those with these skills.
These hacktivists have taken their fight to a new level and to some degree I applaud them for being so brave. The war for information will likely never end but in the meantime we are all in-store for an interesting battle. The war of tomorrow will be fought over the Internet. The battlefield is obsolete.
LulzSec the now extremely infamous hacker/hacktivist group has struck again. This time the target was the state of Arizona’s law enforcement. Why you ask? They answered in their public release today:
We are releasing hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords belonging to Arizona law enforcement. We are targeting AZDPS specifically because we are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona.
A very interesting twist to this nonstop hack-a-thon taking place nearly everyday. The quote “snoop onto them before they snoop onto us” can’t stop replaying itself in my mind. The Arizona bill which I wrote about here was and is certainly disgusting. The response from the Feds I’m sure will now be swift I’m sure, however I don’t think LulzSec cares!
My take? It’s two beasts battling it out, what more can be said? I wish Lulz would do more to promote education. I think they are great but unfortunately the average everyday person who lives life as a sheep will see these actions are “frightening” – of course this is untrue! Information is never evil.
The revolution will most certainly be tweeted!
