Sustainable hedonism
Ok, so the Manchurian microchip thing got some leverage in the press (as expected) and the news is spreading like wildfire in California (sorry, bad example – my heart goes out to the forest vegetation and the animals!). So anyways, here‘s a BBC article (I didn’t Diigo because I pretty much already mentioned everything useful from the article) .
The epilogue of this mess awaits…

The most interesting thing I’ve read this week so far…I don’t know what to make of it yet, but if it turns out to be just a product of imagination it would still be eerie enough to make an excellent summer blockbuster thriller. An excerpt:
The myth: Chinese intelligence services have concealed a microchip in every computer everywhere, programmed to “call home” if and when activated.
The reality: It may actually be true.
…
“It is there, deep inside your computer, if they decide to call it up,” the security chief of a multinational corporation told The Investigator. “It is capable of providing Chinese intelligence with everything stored on your system — on everyone’s system — from e- mail to documents. I call it Call Home Technology. It doesn’t mean to say they’re sucking data from everyone’s computer today, it means the Chinese think ahead — and they now have the potential to do it when it suits their purposes.
I’ll leave you with that, go here to read the full article and for the Diigoed version go here.
