The full video being available in the second link, but it looks it's being taken on a public street, where police officers should have no expectation of privacy.
On another note, the individual referred to in the summary (identified in the stub-of-an-article as Michael Sedergren), was not the guy who beat Jones senseless, but in my personal opinion, he's just as dirty, and should have been fired, too.
FTFA:
“They’re really just trying to intimidate and silence her, but whether she’s charged or not (the tape) can still be used in court,” said attorney Shawn P. Allyn, who represents Jones in a civil rights lawsuit against the police in U.S. District Court.
Freedom of Speech typically does not permit incitement to violence.
Furthermore, inciting harm to powerful leaders, regardless of motivation or full intent, is probably not wise (and especially so in an unstable nation). And, if you follow through and do so, you best make yourself hard to find, and go completely off grid. Otherwise, you'll likely be caught, and you'll find yourself in a very uncomfortable situation, to say the least.
Freedom of Speech does not protect all speech. It only permits speech that can hurt people’s feelings, but it does not permit speech that can cause objective harm to people’s bodies, possessions or liberty.
Personally, I've found Ubuntu very useful in situations where I couldn't do any dedicated partioning for linux and only a bootable version would do. They're not the first or the only distro to offer a bootable linux kernel, but they typically provide a nice desktop interface and fair driver support. There's also an incredibly active community, with forums, where news posts are usually not even required (your question has been asked and answered countless times over, accessible via search).
In the event she's looking to do some more serious introspection on linux, I would suggest Arch Linux. CLI from the start, and certainly not for the weak of heart. I started with Arch Linux years ago, because I like a challenge, and it definitely paid off in the long run.
Congressmen are afraid to kill off software patents entirely, and I don't blame them. It could wreak havoc on Silicon Valley and fubar the U.S. economy. And, knowing the way U.S. news media outlets react to economic downturns, it would result in a ton of bad PR for the politicians, which would likely hurt their chances at being re-elected, which would mean that these life-long politicians are either out of a job or demoted by more than a few rungs.
The problem isn't software patents anymore. The problem is we, the people, rely on a congressional system of elected officials who have become increasingly corrupt and feeble-minded, resulting in a massive disparity between the wishes of the masses and those of the government. Sure, in an ideal world, people would eventually vote these individuals out of office, but most damage is usually prevented in actuality by bribes, media brainwashing, and just plain counter-intelligence.
Until the problem of the "corrupts officials that don't listen to the people" is fixed, we are still plain old fucked.
Let K-5 and non-math-geniuses from 6-8 bring graphing calculators to school. Parents shouldn't care, since most kids will need one for later math classes anyway. The only people that would be bothered by this would be the teachers. Me and my friends would always play BASIC and ASM games on these devices during our free time in 7th grade algrebra. Later on, I eventually started reverse engineering games like phoenix, and, the amusingly-named, "pimp wars." It was good fun, and got me interested, which is really all you need these days.
Primary Point: Get kids interested, one way or another, and give them somebody/somewhere to direct their questions to.
Intercepted? Is that what they're calling it these days?
And, I may have said this before, but.. Rupert Murdoch? Do these journalists have a death wish? I hope those were some really juicy voicemails, because I personally would not want to bat against Murdoch's full legal brigade. I guess not everybody fears the super-rich, not even those with a personal net worth exceeding $6 billion USD (enough to fund a freaking army, if he doesn't already have one).
We need more people like these journalists in the world. But, illegally accessing voicemail, well, I'm currently frowning, to say the least.
In Chicago, they had a really cheesy advertising campaign that had adverts plastered all over CTA trains and stations for at least 6 months, probably a year. They should have taken all that advertising money and pooled it into some good interaction designers for an interface reboot. Besides, if it can't connect to the web, who cares about it. I remember seeing the adverts and predicting a massive failure, but I can't say I'm glad to see $600,000,000 wasted.
Did you ever consider that other information on the subject is likely classified? Anyway, I'm shocked that this was released by the FBI, if it actually was.

Case and point. Guy is a complete dirtbag.
No kidding. They should switch to Debian ;)
And, what exactly do they mean by "modified version?"
A really interesting article on the subject:

It's only used to protect the public, of course.
That was sarcasm, right?

The same thing should honestly be applied to fingerprinting and mug shots.
Law Enforcement, worldwide, has it way too easy.
...runners with natural ankles and feet.
Considering that many oxygen-consuming muscles are no longer there, I would think that alone should indicate an advantage.

I don't think it would be terribly difficult, but the expense of the whole process tends to dissuade people from trying.

A holocam.
But I bet a microphone could still pick it up..
And, on a side note, this is oddly reminiscent of Phreaking.. Payments with tones and all.. even if they are "inaudible."

How about those working for ICANN grow some balls, and don't cave to every whim of agencies like ICE?
I can't wait to see what effect this has on those electronic things in orbit..
Redistricting 2.0: Cloud Lets Voters Take Part
The "cloud" is not a mechanism, it doesn't enable the voters to do anything. The term you're looking for is called Crowdsourcing.
One makes them incompetent, the other makes them a douche.
I feel they are one and the same when it comes to large entities raking in tons of profit.
No word on how companies like TapJoy (one of the largest "culprits") will react.
To say the least. What choice do they really have? Apple is Judge, Jury, and Executioner when it comes to their App Store.
Oh, wow. Indeed. But, either way, "intercepted," what exactly do they mean by that?

'Our motivation for bringing this litigation was to protect our intellectual property and our consumers.'
If SCEA was ever interested in protecting consumers, they never would have brought suit against GeoHot in the first place.

this has been a product by the umbrella google corporation.
