Ah yes the good ole one-two. Only in Govt can you do your job too well and get removed because of it. That's why 40% of my job is staring at my wall waiting for someone to forget how to power on their laptop, wondering why the screen is black.
No where does it state she actively participated in the protest. I highly doubt they will be charged and I feel sorry for the judge that has to see this case.
Though I do think Snowden's tweet is ironic, he got 30 for hundreds of govt secrets to protect the common man and she might get 45 for doing her job.
I was in grade school in the 90s and I remember having a 20 minute recess after lunch and that was all. I think we turned out fine...i digress. Course I could also walk home from school without my parents being sued for child endangerment.
As an Employee out in the world, I would have to have some fear now if I held an ITT Tech Degree if my Employer would now scrutinize and review my placement in the company. I am sure most level headed Employers will still look at their actual performance, but I'm sure some man/woman out there in a position of power will look at this as a legitimate way to "trim the fat"
Course I have to wonder how ITT Tech compares to the H-1B Contract people in terms of knowledge.
So as a member of a public institution of higher education, Flash drives are up there in the top 3 spots of how data goes missing/copied/stolen along with Email. We have the USB ports disabled except for the 1 or 2 for the Mouse and Keyboard and have those locked to not accept new devices to prevent data from going by the by. I state this because I still use CD/DVD Media for computer deployment under secure conditions where Mass deployment software like SCCM are not practical. Closed systems are the bane of my existence. Also being in user support you have to keep a CD/DVD or 2 around for that one user who will inevitably visit your office with a 6 year old laptop with failing HDD and the USB boot doesn't work and you are forced to recover them via CD/DVD.
This coming from the same people that think Chemistry is not an exact science. It is not surprise to me.

I agree with our Founding Fathers, but they also didn't know what a germ was. Anyways...
Without Privacy there is no Security. I rarely agree with Mr. Cook but I do agree with him on this, Realistically any Entity would be unable to contain a tool that exists of this caliber. I reckon that within days, maybe hours of Apple releasing a tool to assist the Feds, the tool would end up being publicly distributed and Apple would have to make a new one...and another one...ad infinum (My latin is kinda bad, I think I got that right)
As an IT guy trying desperately to keep his network clean I have both admiration and trepidation towards the time, money, and thought process to create such a beast. Doesn't matter if state sponsored or not, the team was able to create something that hid for 5 years.
Whomever you guys/girls are you have my admiration for your ability.
Too few words not enough things in this world of things. The Scope of this article is too thin. It needs to delve into Single player Offline Game, and as many point out there is an Income gap and geography that comes into play. I work at a University and the most surprising thing to me in the places our students come from where only 30% of citizens have access to Internet due to the cost. ((Using Ghana as a Reference Country))
*Show of hands who was a 90s kid and got put on ADHD Medication as an excuse for my video game addiction and A's on math tests* I know my hand is up.
Article Quote: "The cause of the association between game playing and academic success is not clear from the research. It is possible that children who are gifted at maths, science and reading are more likely to play online games. Alternatively, it could be that more proficient students work more efficiently, and therefore have more free time, making online gaming a marker of possible academic ability rather than something that actively boosts performance."
As a middle class individual growing up at a time when I could see this article have a few words replaced with designer ADHD Medication I remember blazing through math because it was stupid easy and turning to video games and other activities because there was nothing to do in the 90s. We didn't have fancy smartphones and 1000s of Apps or Social Media. We had channel 16, Pre-Drug Drop dead Gorgeous Lindsey Lohan, SNES, N64 and Books...We didn't have the choices of the youth of today, nor the access to technology of 2016.
Sorry got off on a tangent there. This article to me, though lacking on words and research depth, does resonate on some level because Practice makes Perfect.
Online gaming when done in a productive setting teaches the basics of teamwork, problem solving, negotiation, all coupled together with the drive to accomplish something. I'm not too good with words sometimes, but if you practice something for 8 hours a day, you're going to be much more proficient than someone who only does it for an hour, in most cases (there are prodigies everywhere - just watched Masterchef Junior)
I've been stuck at one point in a game trying over and over to get past it and after hours you pass it via trial and error, luck, determination, cursing, and caffeine. You succeed. I think we've all been there. (Zelda - Water Temple) I think for me at least my gaming experiences have assisted in preparing my mind for higher learning in Math, Science, and Reading.
Quote from Article:
Australian Minister for Small Business Michael McCormack told reporters on Wednesday that there has “never been a breach of the actual census data, [and] the ABS assures us that this won’t happen into the future. They have assured me as the minister responsible, they’ve assured the government, that they have every protocol in place, every process in place to ensure that there isn’t a breach this time.”
^ That's how you incite someone to now break into it.

Its not everyday someone recognizes this in a public news article. A+ Independent.
I think some suits up at Microsoft finally had another meeting on the Apple Store 30% revenue for every transaction and are now starting to deploy phase one of total Apple-like integration using their own Store.
Next Year all Microsoft Store.
Year after, some random % markup of products
After that, who knows, maybe they will just Buy Steam and rebrand it as Skype for Steam 2.0 or something.
...that not too long from now if this does go into mass production that the Government and CSI Organizations will use this technology to match handwriting samples at the touch of a button. Note: My comment my be misplaced as I do not keep up with CSI Field Technologies.
Honestly once they get enough data Wal-Mart should pair up with State Food Stamp Programs to pair QR Codes with Families in Need to get data on if Stamps are being properly used in the amounts given to an Individual or Family. It sounds invasive I know, but this is the perfect medium to gather this type of data. I don't know about the rest of you but I have seen enough single parents trying to wrangle 2 or 3 children and write a check, its a bottleneck in the Checkout process. QR Those Food Stamps and Alleviate Stress.
But on the big picture it is a great way to throw targeted adds your way or automatically apply coupons found in Wal-Mart and competitor ads (More difficult but IT has a lot of time on their hands sometimes).

Here we go! Hope China is focusing on the right Tech Tree with the right Leader!

We just move the funding in our budget somewhere else, and those companies that don't care, might start to care once the money stops.
