Once drones over US skies become plentiful, I expect a rich market for "Not Engaged in Combat" hats, wrist bands, t-shirts, etc. Read below the fold...

I have to go wrestle with RSS and add (I hope) some keen new functionality but it is not merely my obligation but my pleasure to sticky a New Year's post.... A wish I shared with a friend was for less chairoscuro, meaning a bit less contrast between bright light and dark shadow:

For example, I spent a month in Bangkok while continuing to blog heavily, which is very bright; but the continuing stress of the economy just doesn't seem to let up, and the Fecal Cliff nonsense makes the angst all the worse, which is dark and darker. Read below the fold...

Anonymous hacker behind Stratfor attack faces life in prison
A pretrial hearing in the case against accused LulzSec hacker Jeremy Hammond this week ended with the 27-year-old Chicago man being told he could be sentenced to life in prison for compromising the computers of Stratfor.

Susie has the latest on pervasive government surveillance. I just want to state the obvious, pervasive government surveillance did not prevent that AIDS clinic from burning. It did not protect the people of Aurora, Colorado, and it did not protect the Sikhs in Oakcreek, Wisconsin.
London has the most pervasive surveillance system anywhere in the world. It was completely useless in the recent riots. Surveillance systems don't protect people because they are not designed to protect people, they are designed to control people. Read below the fold...
