Your iPhone, I’m sad to say, is not like Las Vegas: What happens there often does not stay there.
Much of your iPhone activity — including your web browsing, app store downloads and more — is transmitted to advertisers through various channels so that they can serve up relevant advertisements and offers for you. Although these services have mechanisms in place to ensure that you can’t be identified, you still might be a little uneasy about all of that information getting sent off to unclear dimensions (regardless of whether you’re doing anything — ahem — naughty on your iPhone).
Luckily for you and your privacy concerns, Apple has provided users with several ways, especially on iOS 6, to limit the amount of information that gets transmitted to third parties. Unluckily, they are buried deep within the bowels of the iPhone, opaquely worded, and not located where you might think they are.
Consider this, then, to be your privacy itinerary. Here are three settings you should tweak if you want to limit the activity tracking that occurs by default on your iPhone. While the settings won’t completely eliminate the transmission of your iPhone data to often-mysterious parties, they will greatly reduce it.
1. Limit Ad Tracking
The subject of a brief controversy stirred up by Business Insider, Apple recently changed the way it identifies your device, starting with iOS 6, for advertisers that serve you well-aimed ads. To which you might reasonably reply: “Wait a minute — Apple is identifying my advice for advertisers so that they can serve me well-aimed ads?!?!”
Welcome to 2012, where pretty much everything with a battery is tracking you, and every site that prompts you to enter a login and password is trying to provide you with relevant ads.
Though Apple insists the Advertising Identifier is non-permanent and cannot be used to determine your identity — and by all indications, the new system is far better than the old one, which really did identify you to an odd extent — it still allows you to opt out of the program. To do so, go into Settings, then General, then About, then Advertising. You want to turn Limit Ad Tracking to the “On” position.
(Which is a little confusing, by the way: In order to turn ad tracking off, you have to flick the switch to “On”? How about, next time, if you want to shut something off, you select “Off”? If I want to mute my phone, I don’t have to switch “Turn Volume Off” to the “On” position, do I? Who’s on first?)
No matter: Turn “Limit Ad Tracking” on. You will still see ads on your phone, but they won’t be “targeted” to you based on your activity.
2. Opt Out Of Targeted iAds
To more thoroughly block targeted ads, you can specifically prevent Apple’s own iAd system from tracking your behavior and presenting ads based on that activity.
To do so, open Safari on your iPhone and visit http://oo.apple.com. There you’ll see a screen asking if you want to opt out of Interest Based iAds. If you flip the switch to “Off,” the ads you see will not be based on your history. Instead, they will be general, non-targeted advertisements. (See? Flip the switch to “Off” when you want to turn something off. How hard was that?)
And, as our friends at TUAW helpfully point out, this is not a final decision: If you find yourself yearning for targeted ads, you can bring them back any time you please, by clicking to the site above and turning them back on. Thomas Wolfe was wrong: You can go home again! (If by “home” you mean “digital advertisements conjured by an automated analysis of your smartphone activity.”)
While you’re tweaking your iAds, you might also shut off location-based iAds, or advertisements based on your current location. Go into Settings, then Privacy, then Location Services, then System Settings (at the bottom), then switch “Location-Based iAds” to the “Off” position.
3. Do Not Track
With the Safari browser in iOS 6, Apple also introduces a “Do Not Track” feature, which denies websites you visit the ability to track you both on their page and on other websites you visit when you leave.
I know, I know, it’s a radical concept: Once you leave a website, that website no longer tracks your behavior. It’s like, when I leave my friend’s apartment, do I expect him to secretly embed a spy camera on my backpack so that he can keep an eye on my every movement outside of his home?
Well, maybe. There’s no “Off” switch for my creepy friend William.
Unlike William’s creepiness, however, there is an “Off” switch for website tracking! To enable Do Not Track on your iPhone, you need to turn on “Private Browsing.” Open up Settings, and then go into the Settings for Safari. Switch Private Browsing to “On” and your phone will start sending a Do Not Track message to any website you visit.
You can learn more about the Do Not Track movement by visiting the official website (which will also tell you whether you have Do Not Track enabled on your browser).
These three tips should put your mind at ease about the extent to which your iPhone behavior is being tracked. Again, it’s not a wholesale solution to your iPhone-tracking concerns, but it will greatly reduce the more suspect, easily-preventable data-collecting activity.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go check my backpack for spy cameras.

Sep 4, 2012 | Anonymous, Leaks, News
Anonymous has a way of releasing massive collections of information that raise many more questions than they answer.
Case in point: On Monday night, the segment of the hacker group that calls itself Antisec announced that it had dumped 1,000,001 unique device identifier numbers or UDIDs for Apple devices–the fingerprints that Apple, apps and ad networks use to identify the iPhone and iPads of individual users–that it claims to have stolen from the FBI. In a long statement posted with links to the data on the upload site Pastebin, the hackers said they had taken the Apple data from a much larger database of more than 12 million users’ personal information stored on an FBI computer.
While there’s no easy way to confirm the authenticity or the source of the released data, I downloaded the encrypted file and decrypted it, and it does seem to be an enormous list of 40-character strings made up of numbers and the letters A through F, just like Apple UDIDs. Each string is accompanied by a longer collection of characters that Anonymous says is an Apple Push Notification token and what appears to be a username and an indication as to whether the UDID is attached to an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.
In their message, posted initially in the Anonymous twitter feed AnonymousIRC, the hackers say they used a vulnerability in Java to access the data on an FBI Dell laptop in March of this year. They say the database included not only the UDIDs, but also “user names, name of device, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers, addresses, etc.” Anonymous claims that the amount of data about each users was highly variable, and that it only released enough data to the public “to help a significant amount of users to look if their device are listed there or not.”
The Antisec statement also took the opportunity to mock the recent appearance of NSA Director and General Keith Alexander at the hacker conference Defcon, where he made a recruiting pitch to attendees. “It was an amusing hypocritical attempt made by the system to flatter hackers into becoming tools for the state,” Anonymous’ statement reads. “We decided we’d help out Internet security by auditing FBI first.”
If the UDIDs are determined to be real, just what that means about law enforcement and Apple users’ privacy isn’t entirely clear. Much more than passwords or even email addresses, UDIDs are already spread around the Internet by app developers and advertisers–a study by one privacy researcher in 2011 found that 74% of the apps he tested sent a user’s UDID to a remote server. But the same researcher also found that five out of seven social gaming networks he tested allowed users to log in with only their UDID, making a stolen UDID equivalent to a stolen password.
“We never liked the concept of UDIDs since the beginning indeed,” reads the Anonymous statement. “Really bad decision from Apple. Fishy thingie.”
Due perhaps to the privacy concerns around UDIDs’ proliferation, Apple stopped allowing new iOS apps to track UDIDs earlier this year.
Regardless, if the FBI has in fact collected 12 million Apple UDIDs–or even just one million–it will have some explaining to do to privacy advocates. In its release, Anonymous argues that the massive dump of users’ personal information, which it says has been stripped of many of the most identifying details, is designed raise awareness of the FBI’s alleged gadget-tracking shenanigans. “…We will probably see their damage control teams going hard lobbying media with bullshits to discredit this,” the statement reads at one point. “But well, whatever, at least we tried and eventually, looking at the massive number of devices concerned, someone should care about it.”
For now, Anonymous refuses to answer more questions about its release–at least from the press. Before granting any interviews, it’s demanding that Gawker writer Adrian Chen, who has been especially critical of Anonymous, appears on Gawker’s home page in a “huge picture of him dressing a ballet tutu and shoe on the head.”

The Dawning of the Worldwide Human Tracking System – Implantable RFID Chips
“And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.” Revelation 9:6
What is presented on this page is not fantasy, or our idea of something that could happen in the near future. Every item here will tell you about advances in technology that either are in place, or in the end stages of development and about to be released. Every item here will show you not only the plan, but the actuals tools that the New World Order (NWO) has in place to track you right now at this very moment to monitor you, and control you. We also tell you why they are doing this, and how it all will end. The bible, in the book of Revelation, calls this the mark of the beast. What the apostle John could only stare at in awe and wonder in the revelation that Jesus showed him of the end times, not knowing fully what he saw, we get to see become real. These are the end times foretold in the book of Revelation.
The Mark of the Beast
The first thing you need to understand about the mark of the beast is that it is a worldwide system that collects and gathers information, and ties it in with personal records of all kinds. This will culminate in a chip, implanted in your body, that will personally connect you to the system. Today you see that information is already being collected when you use your debit card, the loyalty card at the supermarket, your car has computer chips that enable it to function – everything is controlled by a chip that feeds the information to various databases around the world. Even the Internet itself is part of this system.
http://vimeo.com/32380647
It’s hard to now imagine life ‘pre-iPhone’, and soon we won’t be able to remember what life was like without the RFID chip.
We have become a worldwide, connected society whose every move is being tracked and cataloged. For now, it’s all voluntary, and the New World Order has to reply on making cool devices to lure us in to wanting to be tracked – iPhone, smart phones, RFID chips – but the day is coming where you will be forced to have a chip put inside your body. When that day comes, you will know who the Antichrist is because he will be the one in power over the whole world. Accepting that chip will mean you side with the Antrichrist, and against God. Accepting the chip will doom your soul to Hell forever. Whatever you do, do notever let anyone put a chip inside your body. It will be better to side with God and die at the Antichrist’s hand then to accept the chip and spend eternity in Hell.
What Is RFID? (Radio Frequency IDentification)
Radio Frequency IDentification is an automatic data capture technology that uses tiny tracking chips affixed to products. These tiny chips can be used to track items at a distance–right through someone’s purse, backpack, or wallet. Many of the world’s largest manufacturing companies would like to replace the bar code with these “spy chips,” meaning that virtually every item on the planet–and the people wearing and carrying those items–could be remotely tracked. There is currently NO REGULATION protecting consumers from abuse of this technology. source – spychips.com
The Mark of the Beast is lurking in the heart of the RFID chip
For years you have been told, through readers of bible prophecy and conspiracy theorists, that the mark of the beast was coming soon and that people who receive an implantable microchip. This has been swirling around for about the past 30 years or so. Well, the years ticked by with no progress on making a chip that could do that, and eventually people began to file rumor that under “bogus” and forgot about it. When all of a sudden, we have this:
http://vimeo.com/32380487
Sure sounds like the mark of the beast to me….
Now, I ask you, does that sound like a conspiracy theory to you?
What it does sound like is the Vice-President of the United States telling the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court that “one day you will rule on implantable chips in human beings”. Wow…take a moment, let it sink in. And that’s how it goes with most conspiracy theories, they have a very strong basis in reality. And yes, there is a government plan to put a chip in your body, and you need to decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Just how strong is the push to bring this technology to the people? This strong –

The Mark of the Beast has hit every aspect of our government, and it goes so much deeper than you
can imagine.
Tommy Thompson, former Wisonsin Gov and HHS Sec’y supports VeriChip implants in humans, and
so would you if you had over 150,000 shares of stock in VeriChip Corporation. Interesting Note:
when Thompson is asked where the chip is place, he says you “put it in your right arm”, and just
coincidentally that’s one of the two places the book of Revelation says it is to go. Hmmmm…

They will use any and every excuse to sell it to us.
Chipping kids to prevent kidnappings, chipping the elderly to guard against Alzheimer’s, chipping diabetics, chipping people with allergies, chipping people to prevent medical mistakes…and the list goes on and on. It all sounds good, it all sounds so right – using technology to better our lives. But
it’s not good, and it’s not right. What it is, is the Mark of the Beast as foretold by God
(see left side story).
http://vimeo.com/32381050
IBM is showing us the future – believe it.
Should you get chipped? All depends on whose side you are on.
God’s Side, or Satan’s. Because this system is what the Antichrist will use during the Tribulation.
When fully activated, it will be the Devil’s mark, take it at your own peril. This is what God says will happen to every one who takes the mark:
“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Rev 14: 9,10
The mark of the beast in advertising
The New World Order is very clever. When they want to advance their agenda of a One World Government with every under their control, they have many ways to get the job done. One of these ways is through marketing and advertising.

TheSun.com has an interesting story today about a new technology being test marketed in Japan
right now. This product is a billboard with facial recognition software to scan your face, determine
your gender, and then deliver an appropriate ad.
“Retailers are targeting individual shoppers with digital billboards like those in the hit Tom Cruise
film Minority Report. Cameras in the advert hoardings identify the age and sex of passers-by then display relevant products. The makers claim images of faces are erased immediately but some consumers fear the billboards will capture their expressions and responses to the ads. The signs are being tried out in Japan. Digital advertising expert Omaid Hiwaizi, 40, from London agency Chemistry, said: “Companies will be watching closely to see if they do well.” source – thesun.com
Sounds kinda cool, doesn’t it? Like something you would have a lot of fun “playing with” as you are walking down the street. And that’s exactly what the NWO is counting on. Because that is how they will get you to accept 24-hour facial surveillance of each and every person on this planet. They
make it fun, make it catchy…they make it something you look at with awe and admiration. And the whole time, what they are really doing, is laying the snares to stamp, catalog and process each and every one of us. When the system is finished, this is what the bible says will be the result:
“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.” Revelation 13: 16-18
Truly this is end times bible prophecy being fulfilled before our very eyes.
Note: If the implantable RFID chip does turn out to the the Mark of the Beast, which seems highly
likely, it will not be until the actual reign of the Antichrist that it will have it’s power and significance.
The Bible is quite clear that receiving the Mark, during the Tribulation, is completely and obviously
tied to the worship of the antichrist. No one will take the mark by accident. You will be asked to
swear allegiance to the antichrist as an act of worship. Anyone receiving the mark during the time
of the Great Tribulation will know exactly why they are getting it. It will be because they will be
acknowledging, falsely, the antichrist as God.

Positive ID, formerly known as VeriChip, is the company that created the implantable RFID chip for human use.
So if you were today to get a senior relative with Alzheimer’s chipped or a young child chipped to thwart a kidnapping, that would not be considered receiving the mark of the beast. However, NTEB highly advises against having anyone you know and loved chipped. Ever. Resist it, reject it, fight it with your dying breath. The mark of the beast is real.

Wal-Mart Radio Tags to Track Clothing
“Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to roll out sophisticated electronic ID tags to track individual pairs of jeans and underwear, the first step in a system that advocates say better controls inventory but some critics say raises privacy concerns. Starting next month, the retailer will place removable “smart tags” on individual garments that can be read by a hand-held scanner. Wal-Mart workers will be able to quickly learn, for instance, which size of Wrangler jeans is missing, with the aim of ensuring shelves are optimally stocked and inventory tightly watched. If successful, the radio-frequency ID tags will be rolled out on other products at Wal-Mart’s more than 3,750 U.S. stores.

Marc F. Henning for The Wall Street Journal Apparel supervisor Sonia Barrett uses a handheld scanner to read EPC labels
on men’s denim jeans on July 19, while checking inventory at the Walmart Supercenter Store No. 1 in Rogers, Ark.
“This ability to wave the wand and have a sense of all the products that are on the floor or in the back room in seconds is something that we feel can really transform our business,” said Raul Vazquez, the executive in charge of Wal-Mart stores in the western U.S. Before now, retailers including Wal-Mart have primarily used RFID tags, which store unique numerical identification codes that can be scanned from a distance, to track pallets of merchandise traveling through their supply chains. Wal-Mart’s broad adoption would be the largest in the world, and proponents predict it would lead other retailers to start using the electronic product codes, which remain costly. Wal-Mart has climbed to the top of the retailing world by continuously squeezing costs out of its operations and then passing on the savings to shoppers at the checkout counter. Its methods are widely adopted by its suppliers and in turn become standard practice at other retail chains.” source – Wall Street Journal

Vending machines that use fingerprint and retinal scans to sell you chips
“MYFOXNY.COM – Your thumbprint might soon be the key to an afternoon candy bar. A Massachusetts based vending machine company is joinng the growing ranks of companies that are field-testing new technologies. Next Generation Vending and Food Service is experimenting with biometric vending machines that would allow a user to tie a credit card to their thumbprint. “For a certain demographic that is pretty cool,” says company president John S. Ioannou. Next Generation is currently testing about 60 of the biometric machines in various locations in the northeast.

The Diji-Touch vending machine records your thumnprint and retinal scan to sell you things
The company is also testing other technologies. Ioannou says the key to the transforming the vending machine business is making the consumer feel more engaged. The days might be numbered where a consumer watches a bag of chips roll through the machine and drop. Next Generation is also testing a machine that includes a 46″ touch-screen display that acts similarly to an iPhone display. The user can click on an item, flip the image and even see the nutrional information on the back of the packaging. Ioannou says initial results are good saying, “The feedback is extraordinary.” The machines include internally mounted cameras to monitor what is going on outside of the machine. The company is also installing wireless or Ethernet connections on all of its current machines so there will be real-time reporting of the amount of goods in the machine for restocking purposes. Monitors will even be able to report when a coin is stuck in the machine. All of the current machines will be upgraded by the end of 2011.” source – MyFoxNY

So that when this system that the bible calls the mark of the beast is complete, you will not be able to buy anything or sell anythingwithout the permission of the Goverment. You will be completely and totally controlled. They will apply this technology to everything. And then one day, when the system is complete, they will link together your thumb print, your eye scan, your financial information, your bank cards, your automatic deposit paycheck, the computer sensors inside your car, your smart phones, your home computer, your medical records, and even brain waves into one, complete system that the Goverment will control. Without their permission you will buy nothing, sell nothing, and go nowhere untracked. Mark of the beast in your trash can: High-tech garbage carts with RFID chips force recycling or pay $100 fine

The Government’s New Right to Track Your Every Move With GPS.
Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn’t violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway – and no reasonable expectation that the government isn’t tracking your movements.

The mark of the beast will cover the whole earth
That is the bizarre – and scary – rule that now applies in California and eight other Western states. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which covers this vast jurisdiction, recently decided the government can monitor you in this way virtually anytime it wants – with no need for a search warrant. It is a dangerous decision – one that, as the dissenting judges warned, could turn America into the sort of totalitarian state imagined by George Orwell. It is particularly offensive because the judges added insult to injury with some shocking class bias: the little personal privacy that still exists, the court suggested, should belong mainly to the rich.
The court went on to make a second terrible decision about privacy: that once a GPS device has been planted, the government is free to use it to track people without getting a warrant. There is a major battle under way in the federal and state courts over this issue, and the stakes are high. After all, if government agents can track people with secretly planted GPS devices virtually anytime they want, without having to go to a court for a warrant, we are one step closer to a classic police state – with technology taking on the role of the KGB or the East German Stasi.” source – Yahoo News

Apple’s plan to track your every move.
As one of the world’s most successful innovator and creator of cutting-edge technology that millions of people adopt the second it’s released, paying close attention to what they do is very important. So here are some of the new features being planned in future releases fof their products, particularly for the iPhone.

Apple presents the Mark of the Beast app – it’s the entire phone.
- A system that can take a picture of the user’s face, “without a flash, any noise, or any indication that a picture is being taken to prevent the current user from knowing he is being photographed”;
- The system can record the user’s voice, whether or not a phone call is even being made;
- The system can determine the user’s unique individual heartbeat “signature”;
- To determine if the device has been hacked, the device can watch for “a sudden increase in memory usage of the electronic device”;
- The user’s “Internet activity can be monitored or any communication packets that are served to the electronic device can be recorded”; and
- The device can take a photograph of the surrounding location to determine where it is being used.
In other words, Apple will know who you are, where you are, and what you are doing and saying and even how fast your heart is beating. In some embodiments of Apple’s “invention,” this information “can be gathered every time the electronic device is turned on, unlocked, or used.” When an “unauthorized use” is detected, Apple can contact a “responsible party.” A “responsible party” may be the device’s owner, it may also be “proper authorities or the police.” source – EFF.org

420 banks demand 1-world currency

An IIF policy letter authored by Dallara and dated Oct. 4 made clear that global currency coordination was needed, in the group’s view, to prevent a looming currency war.The narrowly focused unilateral and bilateral policy actions seen in recent months – including many proposed and actual measures on trade, currency intervention and monetary policy – have contributed to worsening underlying macroeconomic imbalances,” Dallara wrote. “They have also led to growing protectionist pressures as countries scramble for export markets as a source of growth.” Dallard encouraged a return to the G-20 commitment to utilize International Monetary Fund special drawing rights to create an international one-world currency alternative to the U.S. dollar as a new standard of foreign-exchange reserves. ” source – WND

Every email, phone call and website visit is to be recorded and stored after the Coalition Government revived controversial Big Brother snooping plans.

Moves to make every communications provider store details for at least a year will be unveiled later this year sparking fresh fears over a return of the surveillance state. It comes despite the Coalition Agreement promised to “end the storage of internet and email records without good reason”. Any suggestion of a central “super database” has been ruled out but the plans are expected to involve service providers storing all users details for a set period of time. That will allow the security and police authorities to track every phone call, email, text message and website visit made by the public if they argue it is needed to tackle crime or terrorism.” source – Telegraph UK

Few devices know more personal details about people than the smartphones in their pockets: phone numbers, current location, often the owner’s real name–even a unique ID number that can never be changed or turned off. These phones don’t keep secrets. They are sharing this personal data widely and regularly, a Wall Street Journal investigation has found. An examination of 101 popular smartphone “apps”–games and other software applications for iPhone and Android phones–showed that 56 transmitted the phone’s unique device ID to other companies without users’ awareness or consent. Forty-seven apps transmitted the phone’s location in some way. Five sent age, gender and other personal details to outsiders. Among the apps tested, the iPhone apps transmitted more data than the apps on phones using Google Inc.’s Android operating system. Because of the test’s size, it’s not known if the pattern holds among the hundreds of thousands of apps available. Apps sharing the most information included TextPlus 4, a popular iPhone app for text messaging. It sent the phone’s unique ID number to eight ad companies and the phone’s zip code, along with the user’s age and gender, to two of them. Both the Android and iPhone versions of Pandora, a popular music app, sent age, gender, location and phone identifiers to various ad networks. iPhone and Android versions of a game called Paper Toss–players try to throw paper wads into a trash can–each sent the phone’s ID number to at least five ad companies. Grindr, an iPhone app for meeting gay men, sent gender, location and phone ID to three ad companies. source – Fox News
The app that can read your mind: iPhone brainwave detector arrives
It’s a device that would be more at home on the set of a Star Wars movie than the streets of Britain. But an iPhone application has been developed that can read minds. The XWave allows users to control on-screen objects with their minds as well as train their brains to control attention spans and relaxation levels.

The device – that could confuse Luke Skywalker himself – is the latest in the field of emerging mind-controlled games and devices and works via a headset strapped around the user’s forehead, plugging into the iPhone jack. A state-of-the-art sensor within the device can then read the user’s brainwaves through the skull, converting them into digital signals before displaying them in various colours on the iPhone screen. And as the mind focuses on a particular task the graphics change, indicating the user’s level of concentration or relaxation. The high-tech sensor was developed by innovations giant PLX Devices using technology that has for years been used by doctors to treat epilepsy and seizures in patients.

Mark of the beast, bringing the image to life
Apple patent reveals plans for holographic display
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15
A recently granted patent reveals that Apple, the company behind the iPod and iPhone, has been working on a new type of display screen that produces three dimensional and even holographic images without the need for glasses. The technology could be used to produce a new generation of televisions, computer monitors and cinema screens that would provide viewers with a more realistic experience. The system relies upon a special screen that is dotted with tiny pixel-sized domes that deflect images taken from slightly different angles into the right and left eye of the viewer. By presenting images taken from slightly different angles to the right and left eye, this creates a stereoscopic image that the brain interprets as three-dimensional. Apple also proposes using 3D imaging technology to track the movements of multiple viewers and the positions of their eyes so that the direction the image is deflected by the screen can be subtly adjusted to ensure the picture remains sharp and in 3D. source – Telegraph UK
Mark of the beast on ID cards
Mexico to pioneer iris technology on ID cards
Mexico will on Monday become the first country to start using iris scans for identity cards, according to the government, which claims the scheme will be highly secure. “The legal, technical and financial conditions are ready to start the process of issuing this identity document,” Felipe Zamora, responsible for legal affairs at the Mexican Interior Ministry, told journalists Thursday. The documents, which will include the eye’s image as well as fingerprints, a photo and signature, will be 99 percent reliable, Zamora said. Critics, including the National Human Rights Commission, have slammed the system, expressing concern that compiling personal data could violate individual rights. The move will be introduced gradually, with some 28 million minors taking part in a first two-year stage, due to cost 25 million dollars. The cards are due to start for adults from 2013. Iris recognition is increasingly used in airports, controlling access to restricted areas, and prisoner booking and release. source – Brietbart
The Mark of the Beast
Now you know what the mark of the beast is, and how society is rushing headlong into it’s date
with the antichrist. If the day comes when you are asked to choose whether or not you will be
implanted with a chip, you know what your answer should be. No. This is not a game, and it is not
some science-fiction story. The mark of the beast is real. The mark of the beast is happening. The mark of the beast is fulfillment of bible prophecy, and cannot be stopped. But there is one thing you can do…
Don’t take it.

Update: I’ve clarified two aspects of this story below. First, Micro Systemation’s XRY tool often requires more than two minutes to crack the iPhone’s password. The two minutes I originally cited were a reference to the time shown in the video (now removed by Micro Systemation) below. Given that, as I originally wrote, the phone in the video used the simplest possible password (0000), the process often takes far longer.
Second, Micro Systemation had told me that XRY can gain access to phones that run the latest version of iOS. But in fact, it can only gain access to older iPhones and iPads running the latest version of the operating system, and can’t access the iPhone 4S or the iPad 2 or later. Apologies for this oversight.
Set your iPhone to require a four-digit passcode, and it may keep your private information safe from the prying eyes of the taxi driver whose cab you forget it in. But if law enforcement is determined to see the data you’ve stored on your smartphone, those four digits will slow down the process of accessing it as little as two minutes.
Here’s a video posted last week by Micro Systemation, a Stockholm, Sweden-based firm that sells law enforcement and military customers the tools to access the devices of criminal suspects or military detainees and siphon off their personal information.
Update: After this post brought widespread attention to Micro Systemation’s video, the company has removed it from YouTube.
As the video shows showed, a Micro Systemation application the firm calls XRY can quickly crack an iOS or Android phone’s passcode, dump its data to a PC, decrypt it, and display information like the user’s GPS location, files, call logs, contacts, messages, even a log of its keystrokes.
Mike Dickinson, the firm’s marketing director and the voice in its videos, says that the company sells products capable of accessing passcode-protected iOS and Android devices in over 60 countries. It supplies 98% of the U.K.’s police departments, for instance, as well as many American police departments and the FBI. Its largest single customer is the U.S. military. ”When people aren’t wearing uniforms, looking at mobile phones to identify people is quite helpful,” Dickinson says by way of explanation.
With smartphone adoption rocketing around the world, Dickinson says Micro Systemation’s “business is booming.” The small company has grown close to 25% in revenue year-over-year, earned $18 million in revenue in 2010 up from $12 million the year before, and doubled its employees since 2009.
“It’s a massive boom industry, the growth in evidence from mobile phones,” says Dickinson. “After twenty years or so, people understand they shouldn’t do naughty things on their personal computers, but they still don’t understand that about phones. From an evidential point of view, it’s of tremendous value.”
“If they’ve done something wrong,” he adds.
XRY works much like the jailbreak hacks that allow users to remove the installation restrictions on their devices, Dickinson says, though he wouldn’t say much about the exact security vulnerability that XRY exploits to gain access to the iPhone. He claims that the company doesn’t use backdoor vulnerabilities in the devices created by the manufacturer, but rather seeks out security flaws in the phone’s software just as jailbreakers do, one reason why half the company’s 75 employees are devoted to research and development. “Every week a new phone comes out with a different operating sytems and we have to reverse engineer them,” he says. “We’re constantly chasing the market.”
Update: Mike Dickinson has clarified that Micro Systemation’s XRY tool doesn’t support the iPhone 4S, iPad 2 or iPad 3. It does, however, support the latest version of Apple’s iOS operating system, so he says that older devices that have the latest software installed are still vulnerable.
After bypassing the iPhone’s security restrictions to run its code on the phone, the tool “brute forces” the phone’s password, guessing every possible combination of numbers to find the correct code, as Dickinson describes it. In the video above, the process takes seconds. (Although admittedly, the phone’s example passcode is “0000″, about the most easily-guessed password possible.)
Dicksinson acknowledges that users who set longer passcodes for devices can in fact make the devices far tougher to crack. “The more complex the password, the longer and harder it’s going to be to access the phone,” he says. “In some cases, it takes so long to brute force that it’s not worth doing it.” That may have been the situation, for instance, in one recent case involving the phone of Dante Dears, a paroled convict accused of running a prostitution ring known as “Pimping Hoes Daily” from his Android phone; The FBI, apparently unable or unwilling to crack the phone, asked Google to help in accessing it.
