ASIO ~MI5/ classic anti Soviet FBI unit. They will interview anyone directly in Australia, try and turn with 'cash'.
Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) ~MI6/CIA - unknown policy/past. Policy papers hint of been very, very direct until early 1980's.
DSD Defence Signals Directorate ~GCHQ/NSA/CSE - keeps codes safe, taps all telcos in Asia.
The public face of the Australian spooks has been ASIO, a hunt for communists, keeping its ranks pure and records shared with state police on all local groups, clubs, political types, gov workers, celebs during the Cold War.
Keeps the press and authors busy and away from the other agencies:)
Its Australia, so they own you down to the exchange/rim/nbn 'card' with not much trouble and will log your net traffic 24/7.
CALEA export hardware is wonderful in that way:)
So expect any desktop consumer OS or hardware to be wide open by default.
If that fails, expect a sun tanned "tradie" to be at your home while your at work:)
2 plumbers, one day.
If your under ASIO watch, its still not so bad.
If you upset the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, they have a different origin in Australian law.
Their training, origins and methods are more US centric:)
The file system is the key, if the Win/Apple/Linux/droid spyware does not work, they have to get to the hardware - keyboard/service layer.
Run haiku-os.org, most of Australia's task forces and spooks buy in Windows, Mac (ppc/intel) and Linux (ppc/intel), ios, droid 'software' from friendly US, Canadian and UK security cleared providers.

In Russia, you amazed by ads for ad-skipping technology.
In Soviet America, smart net television ensure ad-skipping technology review never seen by you.
Follow the funding. A blob of plastic over a chip, been sold to one area today. Then the county, state. Once a few big states have it- nation wide.
This will ensure a generation thinks they are tracked everyday.
Recall what the 'free' laptops with webcams did in US schools? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbins_v._Lower_Merion_School_District ie the... "seeing him eating the candy in a webcam image"

I have 29 "apps" on my Mac via Mac App Store. Consider apps like the Mac shareware of the 1980-90's - the app does a few tasks well or like a hypercard stack and 'sells' information for a few $ or $10.
Be fun if this makes it to the USA and your profile has views on the Second Amendment.
Would the "community guidelines" clause take down you profile, contacts and 'free' phone:)
Like Skype, Yahoo, AIM, FaceTime with different options- its the next level of tracking and lock in.
You dont exit the walled garden to another app/back to the OS.
The value of your contacts list becomes more real to advertisers as you are making 'calls' to friends/family.
The American detective series did something neat in "Columbo Goes to College" (1990) too.

DX11.1 will get more support and only on Windows 8 - a must have to enjoy the eyecandy that you see on blogs, websites and trade publications:) As for Windows 7, who knows what you get beyond security fixes..
Win7 is quite secure is great for "now" but long term MS will be working on Windows 8 security and beyond.
I think MS is basically pushing Windows 8 as the main area that they will be working on in any real way.
Games might have a lot of music, art done on for them via OS X and be played via servers running Linux - but the amazing eyecandy still belongs to MS.
MS supports its developers well in some areas and been better than OpenGL at any version seems to be something MS has worked on.
Only MS seems able to push hardware and software generation after generation giving performance and new coding options.
Apple never really kept up with hardware or OpenGL code in the past. Linux never really had the game code or hardware gpu side.
Apple seems to be making amazing work with new versions of OpenGL support and its internal code support at an OS level- but the Mac 'pro' hardware is still lacking for games- lets see what early-mid 2013 brings.
Linux seems to be stuck for hardware support- lets hope Steams efforts help. Until then you have MS to give you the option for creative developers to think way beyond console ports if they want.
Think back to the early UK, US, Soviet, French, South African mil efforts. When a gov tells its country to move into a new area of dev, they rush out to buy whats on the open market, read up and build on what they know and what can be found from spying.
If your cash flow is low/import issues you put your cash into hardware and software you cannot do without and fill in the gaps the best you can.
Windows offers fast, 'easy' engineering interfaces with political cover. Buying an EU bespoke hardened linux 'unit' only offers another weak point before its shipped.
Staff still have to enter the country to fix, update, expand and will be debriefed by their respective govs or get noticed for shipped to exotic locations with no trade history. A lucrative deal gets looked at as a positive and then it all gets discovered.....
A device for education/industry running windows might just be more easy to 'fix' onsite vs a bespoke 'unit' that has been messed with at hardware level during production and will never work.
The most interesting aspect is most/many/all? script groups that come to the surface seem to be owned top down or at an admin level or mixed in with many informants/agents/agents provocateurs.
COINTELPRO showed the way, PATCON Patriot-conspiracy http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/04/18/patriot_games provided insight into the 1980-90's efforts within the USA - using domestic and EU staff to form, control and guide groups within the USA.
Now you have the "so much so that 1 in 4 hackers may now be an informant, according to some experts." quote. http://www.npr.org/2011/06/11/137125799/hackers-and-clouds-how-secure-is-the-web
The idea of any long term group not been compromised or used as bait or tracked is getting more hard to believe.
As for Iran all the 'new' posters to slashdot seem to drop in to tell us past code efforts could only be used for a subset of unique, exotic nuclear hardware.
I guess some governments have a list of other unique hardware and now have the political cover to expand their efforts.
During the cold war Russian would be useful if you could show an interest and skill. Great if your family was trusted and you where loyal.
A wage would go up - great for smart people from working class backgrounds in tech/crypto.
German might be good for industrial trips to Germany, Austria, parts of Switzerland - not for the computer code, work - for making friends long term.
vs telling people you are Canadian, asking about IKEA, grunting at a map and a pointing to a museum name...
If your in the USA - China is interested in the USA and translation from a US background might offer an edge.
Placating locals as a factory is sold? An Australian engineer who understands dismantling vs the skilled local accent offering hope until the last moment.....
Spanish parts of the Americas sounds useful but their top people buy in from Germany/ USA - they have had that covered for generations.
French - France looks after/trusts France - the rest is just some US elite coast 20 something having a 3-6 years of very expensive daycare.
Arabic/Farsi - like Russian during the cold war would open doors to rapid advancement - drone strikes, freedom fighters, triangulation, interrogation transcripts, financial tracking. If you ever upset the wrong contractor or agency it could be a very, very interesting.
Germany, China and the Middle East seem to be good regions to think about as many have listed.
Yet the cash stopped Jane. WikiLeaks or its staff faced no public findings, courts at the time yet a group of "US" multinational financial services corporations all stopped?
Call it an extra judical request? A chat over drinks at the club? Lunch? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11945875
Just a 'letter"?
Thats the fun test. A US multinational financial services corporation is offering a world wide product.
Think about Cuba- your Canadian and European banks credit card is fine.
This EU probe could bring a lot of US banking laws to the surface:)
If they win - wikileaks gets funding in a part of the world.
If they lose - a cute multinational financial services corporation is found to be a just another US financial services corporation...
A lot of tourist and family funds could be lost to other financial corporations.
When in the EU, for EU law 'banks" seem to have some EU arm. That takes care of any privacy and local data protection laws.
Any real law lays with the HQ in the USA and that would fall under U.S. laws and political requests.
It will be an interesting day. Will the EU suits turn up? The US suits fly in? Or will it just be a closed door 'chat' between legal teams?
The real risk with an open court is the EU/US banking version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLibel_case
What is a bank? What is a financial services corporation... did a US financial services corporation get a US banking bailout...
It depends how you look at it.
In Australia you have an older population. When younger they where exposed to heavy industry, farming, transport over many years.
Mining, electrical, ship building, trams, busses, home building, cloth dying, pest control would be the classics.
Then you have exotic metals been moved down ducts - an example with a small jet with an AC issue. Staff would be feeling ill, not walking in a safe manner. The press LOL at reports - drunk. Heavy metal exposure will mean early and painful deaths.
Daddy worked in a mine, shipyard, electrical work, earning good cash, walked home covered in "dust", kids come running - nice welcome home hug.
Just as they are parents - 30-40 y later a slight cough sets in. Expert wants to know what they did to their lungs, explores family history, interviews father.
Another early and very painful death.
Solvent components used my the military are another interesting one. Drug, nuclear and gas testing during national service?
What will medical care look like : http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/dec/04/ann-clwyd-husband-died-hen http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2240075/Now-sick-babies-death-pathway-Doctors-haunting-testimony-reveals-children-end-life-plan.html
My thoughts are if you have US style insurance, work cover, war veterans cover (personal or from marriage) you will be kept alive for some cast flow to the hospital/care home.
You will be well treated with the best of personal care and tech. Drugs will be will tracked and corrected. Your billing codes pay the bills and a bit extra.
If your pension or cover is pulled - then your in for a ride.
Less drugs, less dr visits, longer waits -12, 24h before some form of care. That will add up. Late to hospital, a long wait, rushed staff...
A nice empty bed in months.
Depends what it hits.
Recall the fun the US had with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_IV
Finding out your telco are not really a network with some redundancy, more one point of profit vs risk.
A US weather satellite? Lets hope some smart people can list what kind of sats are near the same zone.
The US will always fund the funding for a spy sat, no need to worry about that.
Unique telco, science could be a real issue if anywhere in the same region????
