Microsoft Denies NSA Backdoor In Win7

Posted on November 21, 2009 9:45 AM

Microsoft has rejected claims that it deliberately put a backdoor in Windows 7 at the request of NSA (National Security Agency) which would allegedly allow NSA to spy on users. Some parties are also concerned that Microsoft might be compelled to do so as the US government is one of its most important customers, though other experts note that the consequences of allowing such a thing to be included could be even more severe. Do you think Microsoft would put such a function into Windows 7? Drop us a comment and let us know what you think.

NSA Looking To Store Yottabytes Of Data

Posted on November 1, 2009 11:49 PM

Ever wondered how big storage space could really become? Well, if you take an interest in the NSA, there are reports online that indicate that NSA is constructing a datacenter in the Utah desert that that will store yottabytes of surveillance data. No, we don’t mean gigabytes, terabytes, or petabytes. A yottabyte is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000GB. Plenty of storage space to store all those surveillance videos, don’t you think? If you’re into Big Brother conspiracy theories, this is certainly going to set your alarm bells ringing.
