Verizon’s “Share Everything” plan

Off topic. Home for jokes and other misc. stuff.
Keep it reasonable.

They really mean "Share everything"
Something to be said about "Truth in Advertising":

Do you think Verizon is the only carrier they subpoened? I don't.

Hard to tell whom they're targetting when they have everyone's records...

Heck no, just the tip, I just heard the "share everything" commercial on the radio and thought it was rather ironic.

Check out this baby: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center
This place is capable of storing data on the scale of yottabytes (1 yottabyte = 1 trillion terabytes, or 1 quadrillion gigabytes)

Damn scary, "they" will know everything, btw, the book "1984" was published 64 years ago today..

From Time:
http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/06/06/prism-by-the-numbers-a-guide-to-the-governments-secret-internet-data-mining-program/

The number of different types of data that are collected through PRISM. E-mails, instant messages, videos, photos, stored data (likely items stored on cloud services like Google Drive), voice chats, file transfers, video conferences, log-in times, and social network profile details have all been monitored by the government. Through PRISM NSA officials can even conduct live surveillance of someone doing a Google search, according to the Post.


Dropbox will soon be added to the list.

If you are on the grid, someday is here now and has been for a few years. And since Orwell was English, it wouldnt be proper to leave our British allies out, so they have access via PRISM as well.

The Washington Post has a great overview and history (which has its genesis under Bush) here:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/us-intelligence-mining-data-from-nine-us-internet-companies-in-broad-secret-program/2013/06/06/3a0c0da8-cebf-11e2-8845-d970ccb04497_story.html

And the Guardian's take on the PRISM logo is pretty good, invoking memories of 007 villian organizations, the Illuminati, freemasons, and a one world order.

It has worked so well, keeping us safe, like for example, at the Boston Marathon.......
.......Oh, they were watching and listening in on Americans, not transplanted terrorists on welfare.
