German scurity experts uncover government snooping

Last Updated on Saturday, 28 July 2012 09:54 Written by Metacowboy Tweet

German Chaos Computer Club CCC has uncovered two recent instances of police using "trojan" spying programs on the computers of suspects they later arrested.

The programs allowed remote users to take over webcams, eavesdrop on internet phone calls and take screenshots of the user's activity every 30 seconds.

Some of those activities, if they took place, would have brake the law in Germany, which only allow authorities to monitor computers for phone calls.

Für Dich solls rote Rosen regnen

Last Updated on Wednesday, 22 June 2011 06:21 Written by Metacowboy Tweet

Einer der besten Songs, die es in Deutschland je gab.
Orginal Song: “Für mich soll rote Rosen regnen” von Extrabreit mit der großartigen Hilde Knef (†)
Das ist einfach ein klasse gemachter Rocksong mit Zartheit, vielleicht eines der schönsten deutschen Chansons kombiniert mit der rauchigen Stimme des Sängers und rock der Kapelle.

One song i would like to share specially for my american Twitter follower and people from New Yorker -hope you love these Chanson too. Original song lyrics are from Hilde Knef . In this matter lets the roses rain.

Artist Hildegard Knef (†):
Or “Die Knef” was best known in her native Germany as one of the most important actresses to emerge after WWII, she was also an accomplished musician in her own right. Working primarily with the German chanson.

The Projects target will be Conflict solution thou Social Netwokrs and edutainment – Social Movie Project “is the production of an interactive media program,Distributed and shared through Facebook and its users to get discussed. The Facebook users are active creators in this movie. Conflicts in its various dimensions to recognize, analyze and interpret. Concurrent tolerance and mutual understanding across cultural, historical and religious differences should be encouraged.
The Members produce the content while we only give small inspirations and advices .

Behind the whole idea is the Olympian Idea thats why it starts during the Olympic Winter games .The fan page symbolises the close ties and friendship with all countries to Austria and Germany.At the Oscar night the Fans reach 100.000 Fans in time when Christph Waltz get honoured as actor .

Why Austria versus Germany ?
Every move need a plot and some conflict that get solved during the plot .As it should be in german we choose these 2 countries as the main topic and actor .
Germany have about 10 times more population about 80 million and 4 million Facebook user but the Austrian and the strong grow of the Facebook Fans in Austria drive it forward  . About 1,7 Million Facebook user are online in Austria and the community is very alive .In relation to Germany with just 4 million members on the Facebook platform .
Many bets running on Facebook ,there is a historic misunderstanding between Germany and Austria .The huge big Brother goliath and the “small” Austrian david ,even in media and German TV Shows  some jokes about Austrian are very common like nick names for Austrian like “Ösi”  ,the meaning of the word ÖSI is something very different in Austrian dialect thats why they hate to get called that way .

The Page reach very fast a huge Fan base
But it helps the user to spread and share there Love to Austria farther than just with truistic or political topics .The Page is not against any country it should give a active platform for discussion and connect Austrians with Austria friends from all religious and cultural places to give a virtual weider horizon .

Peace and Love …
