Book review: Survival Guide for Citizens in a Revolution
Posted by Laurize Mimay

So, based on the title, this could either be a useful book filled with valuable information, or a book filled with propaganda. I was scared to even scroll down the page, especially since the author is “Anonymous.”
However, a pleasant surprise awaited me, Anonymous: Survival Guide for Citizens in a Revolution, is filled with useful information. Much of it is the same information I follow when a hurricane is headed for my house. Stockpile non-perishable food and bottled water, get prescriptions filled in advance, buy rice.
This guide is actually intended for people who think they are ABOUT to be in a country with civil unrest, not a country that is already disrupted. The most important tid-bit of information: stay calm.
The book is broken down into different areas. First warnings signs of coming unrest. Preparations. Security. Creating a Take-Box. General Strategies. Additional Security Tips. How to Deal with Exceptional Situations.
This book is certainly worth a read.

Cell phones records: Are they yours?

The ACLU recently posted the 2010 cell phone data retention chart, which it received from the Justice Department under a Freedom of Information Act request. Included HERE is a clean copy of the report; but here is a summary of how long different American carriers keep your data lying around for law enforcement to access.
Location Tracking
data about which cell towers your phone uses.
- ATT: Forever
- Sprint and Nextel keep that information for 18-24 months
- Verizon stores it for 1 rolling year
“Detail” of your text
details include call history, date, time, senders phone number, and receiver’s phone number
- ATT: post paid 5-7 years, and does not retain content information at all
- Verizon: 1 rolling year and text content for 3-5 days
- T-Mobile: pre-paid 2 years and does not keep content at all
- Sprint and Nextel keep details for 18 months “depending on the device”and content
- Virgin Mobile: detail for 60-90 days and content for 90 days
IP information
this is your session information and browsing history
- Verizon: IP session information for 1 years and browsing history for 90 days
- T-Mobile and Virgin Mobile: Don’t store any
- Nextel and Sprint: store IP address and browsing history for 60 days
- ATT: IP session info is “only retained on non-public IPS for 72 hours, If public, not retained”
This may be information to consider the next time you enter a contract with a cell-phone provider. Privacy is NOT a right guaranteed under the US constitution or Bill of Rights; but you can use information to protect yourself.

Baggage touts at Changi Airport

The next time you travel by plane you may be approached to take on extra luggage. Travelers are targeted because they have fewer pieces of luggage, and then asked to take on bulky pieces as they check-in their own pieces. These items are usually electronic goods and the travelers are generally paid $5-10 per kilogram. The money is either paid after check-in or upon final delivery at ports such as Chennai, Sri Lanka and Yangon.
Between $1,000-5,000 fine and up to six months in jail if youre caught carrying another persons luggage in Singapore airport
Changi Airport is aware of the touts and is conducting “anti-touting patrols” at all four of its’ terminals. Carrying another person’s luggage is not only illegal but people caught touting in public places can be fined between $1,000-5,000 and be jailed for up to six months.

Photoshop: Philippines Officials

We do it for fun or for malice. We use Photoshop to put our head on top of a sexy body. But the Philippines Department of Public Works and Highways Patrol was caught Photoshoping themselves into a typhoon cleanup photo. :blush:
Typhoon Nesat struck just a few days ago and instead of going to view the damage; they used Photoshop to put themselves in. Don’t they look pensive and appear to be assessing the damage? Good job guys! But you got caught! Look closely, they seem to be floating in midair… not such a good job after all.
The chastising has begun by folks Photoshoping them into other photos.
