Clinkle is the New Color
Submitted by Tim Knight from Slope of Hope on 09/29/2014 18:50 -0500Which brings us to Clinkle, which is a firm founded by a 22 year old with no business successes behind him (which at least Color.com's founder could claim, as he sold his firm to Apple for a fortune). Clinkle initially received $25 million (fun fact: the same amount used to fund Google, which went on to bigger successes than building a single app) and has been ostensibly hard at work on this thing for years.
FBI Blasts Apple, Google Phone Encryption: It "Allows People To Be Beyond The Law""
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/27/2014 19:30 -0500The kings men also viewed their power as necessary as Comey does today. They could simply enter someone’s home and search all your papers. If you wrote anything derogatory against the king, off you went to prison. This is what inspired the American Revolution and the Fourth Amendment that there had to be a reason to search not just arbitrary desire to want to know and lets see what we can find as the NSA and FBI do today. This is the very essence of LIBERTY. You cannot pretend to be the leader of the free world with people like Comey in government.
This Riot Is Not In Ferguson, It Is In Hong Kong
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/27/2014 12:29 -0500No, this is not Ferguson: it is, according to many, the world's most capitalist city, Hong Kong, where over the past few hours, around 50,000 students are said to have massed on late Saturday, demanding more democracy, as tensions grew over Beijing's decision to rule out free elections in the former British colony.

Two Major Product Launches In A Row. That Middleton Contrarian Apple Call Thing Just Might Have Some Validity To It!

Presenting The Two-Tier Market: Mapping Europe's Microwave Tower Network
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/21/2014 19:43 -0500The image below is a screen capture of the Google Earth map file which will be released officially tomorrow on his blog, with public documents linking each tower to its owner. The creator of the map thinks that it "should make some noise," although considering the vast financial resources and power over politicians the HFT lobby has, we wouldn't be surprised if, quite quickly, this latest story is promptly disappeared. After all, the last thing retail investors need to be reminder of every day, is that there is a rigged market for frontrunning, predator HFTs, and then a market for everyone else, i.e., the prey.
