FBI Can Remotely Activate Android Smartphone And Laptop Mics, WSJ Reports

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the FBI employs a number of high-tech hacker tactics in its efforts to round up information on suspects, including the ability to remotely activate microphones on Android devices and notebook computers, according to one of its sources who is described as a “former U.S. official.” These and other tools are brought to bear in cases related to organized crime, counterterrorism or child ****ography, according to the WSJ report.

The tools it uses are both internally and externally sourced, with some coming from the private sector. Hacking at the FBI under court order has gradually increased, as law enforcement officials try to find ways to circumvent new communication tech that’s more resistant to traditional surveillance methods like wiretapping. The specifics of its methods are not generally brought to light in public, but a warrant from earlier this year revealed that one request involved using a computer’s built-in camera to take photos of a suspect without their knowledge. The request in that case was denied.

For Globe, iPhone is 4.8k at plan 1800. Pwede ka na mag-unli data (999) tapos yung remaining credits pwede mo gamitin for free texts/calls. If you want unlicall/text to Globe, plus 599 yun on top of the 1.8k (di pwede yung consumable credits for the unlicall).

For Smart, 2k free unli plan nga pero konti free texts and calls and if you get unli, on top of the 2k din yung extra 600 that you pay.

Ako I got plan 2499 para free yung iPhone and then unli call and text so 3,098 monthly.

Marami rami na ba LTE spot ng globe ngayon?

Yup 4.8k cashout.

And yes, pwede unlidata dun sa 1.8k. Ok naman LTE for most of manila. In the provinces though, mas may LTE ang smart.

Microsoft buys Nokia's devices unit in a $7.2 billion bid for its mobile future | The Verge

One of the most enticing "what-ifs" of recent years has come true: Microsoft has purchased Nokia's Devices and Services unit, bringing the Lumia lineup under the Redmond roof. The move unites Windows Phone 8 with its biggest hardware supporter, giving the company the integrated mobile offering it's been looking for with Surface and other devices. When the deal closes in the first quarter of 2014, Microsoft will pay 3.79 billion Euros for Nokia's business, plus another 1.65 billion Euros for its portfolio of patents. (The 5.44-billion Euro total is considerably less than Microsoft paid for Skype in 2011.) 32,000 people are expected to transfer from Nokia to Microsoft, including 18,300 that are "directly involved in manufacturing."...

Does that mean Nokia mobile phone business is no more? Will Microsoft retain the Nokia name or change to something like x-phone...? Good luck to Microsoft.

eto from gmanews naman; Nokia announces sale of mobile phone unit to Microsoft for €5.44B | Economy | GMA News Online

Heksinki — Beleaguered Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia will sell its mobile phone unit to US group Microsoft for €5.44 billion ($7.17 billion), it said on Tuesday.

Nokia will grant Microsoft a 10-year non-exclusive licence to its patents and will itself focus on network infrastructure and services, which it called "the best path forward for Nokia and its shareholders."

Kung non exclusive deal, parang authorized to use their technology. Tama ba?

I like Nokia. Cheap and very fluid Os. Talo ka lang talaga sa apps, other than that, Maganda Os windows 8.
