Photographer Allen Skyy Enriquez came up with a brilliant technique for merging several different perspectives of his native NYC into one stunning photograph — and it doesn’t involve multiple exposure or fancy editing software. His secret is a 6-inch glass prism, which Enriquez aka The Zartorialist holds in front of his camera lens to bend the light coming into the […]

If you weren’t one of the 1 million Samsung smartphone owners who were treated to a free copy of Jay-Z’s new album last week, you could choose one of two options–wait for the thing to pop up on the Pirate Bay and torrent it, or, if you have an Android, get a pirated version of the […]
It’s only a matter of time before Hollywood makes the Edward Snowden movie; people have been comparing the instantly notorious NSA leaker to Jason Bourne since the story initially broke. And while we don’t have that big-budget blockbuster quite yet (Who would play Snowden? My money’s on Tobey Maguire), there is this sorta-charming, sorta-terrible five-minute short from […]

The following day, the Washington Post revealed PRSIM, a program that allowed the NSA to monitor electronic communications like […]
At least one form of communication is still safe from PRISM, the long-ranging NSA electronic surveillance program uncovered this month. According to a statement Apple released today, the company does not release any iMessage, Facetime, Siri search, or Maps search data to any law enforcement agency. The encryption on those two formats is so thorough, […]
Are you concerned about NSA‘s PRISM surveillance system? Here’s a way to opt out of government monitoring online. It’s easy! Just use the PRISM Break guide and convert to alternative browsers, operating systems and programs in lieu of the many proprietary applications many of us have become so accustomed to using on a day to day basis. For example, instead of Apple Safari, […]
For Emiland De Cubber, the most offensive part of NSA’s PRISM program is not the egregious violation of privacy, but the hideous slideshow the agency used to present it. Cluttered with clip art, inconsistent colors, and needlessly emphasized type, the slides looked more like work of a grade school media teacher than that of an […]
