Apple privacy protests are held around the country

Protesters at the Apple Store on 5th Ave. in New York demonstrate in support of the company's privacy policy. Demonstrators are expected to gather in a number of cities to protest the FBI obtaining a court order that requires Apple to make it easier to unlock an encrypted iPhone used by a gunman in December's mass murders in San Bernardino, Calif.  Robert Deutsch, USA TODAY

FBI hacks into terrorist’s iPhone without Apple

Thanks to the skills of an unknown third party, the Department of Justice was able to access data on the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.
SAN FRANCISCO — Although the government officially withdrew from its battle against Apple Monday, many observers sense the tech privacy war is just getting started.
"This lawsuit may be over, but the Constitutional and privacy questions it raised are not," Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who had criticized the Justice Department's legal effort against Apple, said in a statement Monday.
The Justice Department withdrew its legal action against Apple after a method brought to the FBI earlier this month by an unidentified entity allowed investigators to crack the security function without erasing contents of the iPhone used by Syed Farook, who with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, carried out the December mass shooting in San Bernardino that left 14 dead.
The government maintained it was looking for access to one phone, but Apple countered that asking for a code that could access the iPhone 5c would create a backdoor to all such devices that was exploitable by other entities.
"This case should never have been brought," Apple said in a statement released late Monday. "We will continue to help law enforcement with their investigations, as we have done all along, and we will continue to increase the security of our products as the threats and attacks on our data become more frequent and more sophisticated. ... This case raised issues which deserve a national conversation about our civil liberties, and our collective security and privacy."

In its two-page filing in a California magistrate's court, the government noted that due to outside assistance it "no longer requires the assistance from Apple Inc." Justice spokeswoman Melanie Newman said the FBI is reviewing the contents of the phone as "consistent with standard investigatory procedures," and that "we will continue to pursue all available options for this mission, including seeking the cooperation of manufacturers and relying upon the creativity of both the public and private sectors."
Government law enforcement officials have denied charges the FBI wanted to establish a backdoor to Apple's encryption, and swatted away accusations that they were using the case to gain broader access to consumers' devices.
"The San Bernardino case was not about trying to send a message or set a precedent; it was and is about fully investigating a terrorist attack,'' FBI Director James Comey wrote in an editorial last week.
The FBI has about a dozen similar cases pending in which it wants access to smartphone information to assist with a case. So while this particular showdown may be over, "there are other cases pending where law enforcement relies on the All Writs Act" to access tech gadget data, referring to an old law that can compel companies to help the government in pursuit of its duties, says Denelle Dixon-Thayer, Chief Legal and Business Officer at Mozilla, the company behind the Firefox browser.
"This question is clearly not going away just because the government has withdrawn their request in this particular case," she says.
Mozilla and dozens of other tech companies that supported Apple with amicus briefs will be watching what happens next carefully.
Privacy issues have both societal and financial implications. Given the ubiquity of smartphones and tablets, concerns loom about how rogue regimes could leverage back doors into tech products to go after detractors. Companies like Apple, whose brand identity is anchored to data security, could face declining sales if smartphones and tablets prove hackable.
All that is counterbalanced by the need for public security in an age when terrorists use encrypted smartphone communication to secretly plot devastating attacks such as the recent suicide missions in Brussels and Paris.
Justice officials declined to comment on whether the technique used to unlock the phone would be applied to other encrypted devices. Authorities also refused comment on whether the method would be shared with Apple.





Apple officials said on a call with reporters last week that if the iPhone in question was accessed, the company would want to know how so it can improve its encryption techniques. Declining to turn over such details to Apple engineers would "leave ordinary users at risk from malicious third parties who also may use the vulnerability," says Steve Crocker, staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Monday's action concludes six weeks of building tensions between the government and the the Silicon Valley i-product giant. The FBI insisted for weeks that only Apple could crack the contents of Farook's iPhone. Apple said such an action amounted to a digital "backdoor" that could eventually undermine the privacy of consumers — an unwavering stance supported by Google, Facebook, Microsoft and other tech giants.
The foes were poised to face off in a court room in Riverside, Calif., last week before the Justice Department abruptly asked for — and was granted — a postponement.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has crusaded in a highly coordinated public campaign against the dangers of weakened security in digital devices. This month, Apple said the “Founding Fathers would be appalled” because the government’s order to unlock the iPhone was based on what it said was non-existent authority asserted by the DOJ.
California U.S. Attorney Eileen Decker said federal authorities had pursued the litigation to “fulfill a solemn commitment to the victims of the San Bernardino shooting — that we will not rest until we have fully pursued every investigative lead related to the vicious attack.’’
Alex Abdo, staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, called the government’s “unprecedented power-grab” a threat to everyone’s security and privacy.
“Unfortunately, (Monday's) news appears to be just a delay of an inevitable fight over whether the FBI can force Apple to undermine the security of its own products,” Abdo said in a statement late Monday. “We would all be more secure if the government ended this reckless effort.”
Marco della Cava and Jon Swartz reported from San Francisco, Johnson from Washington, D.C.

Saudi Prince Offers Kanye $10m To Spend One Night With Kim Kardashian

The public display by American rapper Kanye West of his financial difficulties, has brought him an unexpected offer from Saudi King Salman’s youthful son and heir, Prince Mohammed: $10 million for the opportunity to spend one night with his wife, reality television star, Kim Kardashian. Kanye West created a worldwide commotion in February, by bashfully announcing on Twitter that he was $53 million in personal debt. The impecuniousness, he noted, was the result of following his dreams in the fashion industry.

The Saudi Defence Minister, Prince Mohamad Bin Salman, made a controversial offer yesterday, during a press conference, that could solve Kanye West’s money problems. The powerful prince, who has an estimated wealth of more than a billion dollars, offered to pay the rapper $10M to spend one night with his wife. “I have no interest whatsoever in his music or his clothing,” Prince Mohamad told reporters, “but his wife, she is a treasure of inestimable value. I would gladly pay $10M or even more to spend one night with her.”

Neither Kanye West nor Kim Kardashian, have reacted to the offer yet, but it has already provoked violent reactions from various feminist organizations. In an interview with CBS, the spokeswoman for the Women’s Liberation Action Network, Jane Austin, called the offer “an insult to women across the world”, saying that it shows how women are still treated as objects is certain parts of the world.

Chris Brown Blasts Karrueche Tran, I Made You Famous [DETAILS]

Instagram War: Chris Brown Blasts Karrueche Tran, I Made You Famous [DETAILS]

Things are heating up between Chris Brown and his ex, Karrueche Tran, and it’s all happening on Instagram.

It began when Chris Brown called out Jacob York, Karrueche Tran‘s manager  in the caption of his Instagram picture. But from there, it just spiraled. What started as a back and forth between Chris and Jacob turned into an exes war when Chris actually referred to Karrueche as a “b-tch” — and her response was not happy.
After captioning the t-shirt pic with “Hey…. I know that shirt. @jacobyork fat *** is gonna have a speech for you. I respect the support.” But apparently not so much. Shortly after, Jacob posted a photo of a quote that read “When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.” Chris commented on it though; it had a lot of profanities, but basically he called him out for being overweight and capitalizing “off every vulnerable barely famous emotionally distraught female with a pretty face.”
Karrueche, clearly wasn’t happy about being called a b-tch, so she commented too. “You’re calling me a bi-ch yet you’re screaming my name in a song about getting back together? CAN ALL THIS PETTY SH-T STOP. IT IS SO UNNECESSARY. You have a beautiful daughter and so much to live for. LIVE YOUR LIFE and be positive. I am so over the drama! I just wanna work and be happy and take care of my family. Every f–king day it’s something new!!! And all you f-cks get your life and laughs from this sh-t show(sic).”

amazing.

Work by Rihanna ft Drake lyrics from the anticipated Album of Rihanna called Anti

Work, work, work, work, work, work
You see me I be work, work, work, work, work, work
You see me do me dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
There's something 'bout that work, work, work, work, work, work
When you a gon' learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
Me na care if me tired, tired, tired, tired, tired, tired5

Join me I deserved it
No time to have you lurking
If I got right then you might like it
You know I dealt with you the nicest
Nobody touch me, in the righteous
Nobody text me in a crisis
I believed all of your dreams are duration
You took my heart and my keys and my patience
You took my heart off my sleeve a decoration
You mistaken my love I brought for you for foundation
All that I wanted from you was to gimme
something that I never had
Something that you've never seen
Something that you've never been
But I wake up and everything's wrong1

Just get ready for work, work, work, work, work, work
You see me I be work, work, work, work, work, work
You see me do me dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
There's something 'bout that work, work, work, work, work, work
Duh, duh, duh, nana nana nana
When you a gon' nah nah nah nah nah nah
Before the table turn, turn turn turn

Baby something please
Baby don't you leave
Don't leave me stuck here in the streets oh oh
If I get another chance to
I will never, no never neglect you
I mean who am I to hold your past against you
I just hope that it gets to you
I hope that you see this through
I hope that you see this true
What can I say?
Please recognize I'm trying baby

I been work, work, work, work, work, work
You see me I be work, work, work, work, work, work
You see me do me dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
There's something 'bout that work, work, work, work, work, work
When you a gon' learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
Me na care if me tired, tired, tired, tired, tired, tired

Yeah, okay you need to get done, done, done, done
That'll work, come over
We just need to slow the motion
Don't give that away to no one
Long distance, I need you
When I see potential I just gotta see it through
If you had a twin I would still choose you
I don't wanna rush into it, if it's too soon
But I know you need to get done, done, done, done
If you come over
Sorry if I'm way less friendly
I got niggas tryna end me
Oh, yeah, I spilled all my emotions tonight, I'm sorry
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling
How many more shots until you're rolling?
We just need a face to face
You could pick the time and a place
You spent some time away

Uganda election: Apology over voting delays

Uganda's electoral commission has apologised over delays in opening polling stations as people queue to vote in crucial presidential elections.

Difficulties in transporting electoral materials caused the delays, it said.
President Yoweri Museveni, 71, is seeking to extend his 30-year rule, in a race widely seen as the tightest in the East African state's history.
Seven opposition candidates are running against him. His main challenger is his former physician, Kizza Besigye.
Mr Besigye has said he does not think the election will be free and fair.

Uganda decides: Live updates
Uganda's election explained
Former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi is also seen as a leading contender for the presidency.
Almost five hours after the vote was meant to begin, the electoral commission issued a statement acknowledging that some polling stations had not yet opened.
It added that despite the delays, voting will not be extended.
The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga reports from the capital, Kampala, that thousands of people who had queued for hours got visibly frustrated over the delays.
Security forces were sent in to calm the situation, she adds.

A candidate needs to secure more than 50% of the vote to win outright and avoid a run-off with the second-ranked contender.
Ugandans are also voting in parliamentary and local elections.
Human rights groups have reported an intensifying government crackdown on opposition leaders, their supporters and the media during the election campaign.
One person was killed on Monday in clashes between Mr Besigye's supporters and the security forces in the capital, Kampala.

Mr Museveni has been in office since winning a five-year guerrilla war in 1986, and he is one of Africa's longest-serving leaders.
His final term was meant to end in 2006, but in 2005 he won a campaign to lift the constitutional term limits.
Mr Besigye has unsuccessfully challenged his former comrade-in-arms in the last three presidential elections
Mr Mbabazi is another former ally of President Museveni. He served as prime minister in 2011-2014, when he was dismissed after announcing he would launch a rival presidential bid.

During the election campaign the two opposition candidates accused the president of corruption and criticised his economic policies.
Mr Museveni dismissed the allegations as fiction.
Major issues for voters also include persistently high unemployment and poor quality of public services.

Kenya 'kills' al-Shabab intelligence chief in Somalia

A Kenyan air strike has killed the intelligence chief of Somalia's militant Islamist group al-Shabab, an army statement has said.

Mohammed Karatey and 10 other al-Shabab commanders were killed in the strike in southern Somalia on 8 February, it added.
He played a key role in last month's deadly attack on a Kenyan military base in Somalia, the army said.
Al-Shabab has not yet commented on the claim that Karatey has been killed.

Kenyan warplanes have targeted al-Shabab positions in Somalia on numerous occasions since 2011

Kenya contributes more than 4,000 troops to the 22,000-strong AU force that is in Somalia helping the UN-backed government battle al-Shabab, which is part of al-Qaeda.
Al-Shabab said it had killed about 100 troops in the attack on the Kenyan base in el-Ade town on 15 January.

Al-Shabab controls many areas in rural Somalia

I TAKE THAT PLEDGE [#UgBlogWeek]

If voting was like taking a pledge, just simple like.

My name is Kim Jacobs UG. I am voting Dr.Kiiza Besigye. Will you??
‪#‎UgandaDecides‬. On grounds that there is a lot Ballot stuffing in the Elections of Uganda, I would prefer it my own or put up my own way; just like Ma breezy would opt for by taking the pledge way and see how Ballot stuffing will continue. 

In every polling station, each and every person just coming in and just takes the pledge like " I Kim Jacobs pledge to vote for the one and only Besigye" you portray your love to a particular candidate without fear or favour. Just begin against that vote rigging and ballot stuffing.
