Bangalore: Emails and phone calls of millions of Indians could be tracked and saved on a "big brother" database, under a new plan being drawn up by the Centre. The government, in the wake of terror threats, is planning to set up a centralised system to monitor communications on mobile phones, landlines and the internet.

 

The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DoT), a telecom research and development organisation, is working on the Telecom Security project, which will help the government track calls and monitor emails.

 

"It is viewed as a national project... Basically, it is about monitoring certain messages or conversations so that we can ensure security of the country. Essentially, our technology would provide an interface to operators of any service or technology and it will give them access to the messages traversing through their network," C-DoT executive director PV Acharya told DNA.

 

The contents of each message, Acharya said, would not be collected, but the data on exactly who each person had corresponded with would be tracked and eventually logged on the database.

 

The present system of surveillance is managed by individual operators, and a phone is tapped and call details are given when law enforcement agencies ask for them.

 

The government has a Signal Intelligence Agency, a joint service organisation manned by personnel from the Army, Navy and Air Force, which monitors military links (wireless) of other countries. However, it does not have a centralised monitoring system for voice calls on mobiles, landlines and internet. The government is, however, still unclear on how the surveillance system will work.

 

"We will just provide an opportunity for this... but how this would be done depends on the agreement between the operators and the government," Acharya said.

 

Declining to share technical details of the project, Acharya said the first phase of the project will cost Rs 400 crore. It will end next year. The need for lawful intervention is being felt more after the terror attacks in November last year, when the terrorists were in contact with their instructors on the phone.

Microsoft Edits Black Person Out of Ad; Everyone Offended

This is what racism in advertising looks like: Microsoft photoshopped a black man out of one of its ads targeting the Polish market (image below). Is this racist against black people or the Polish? Or both? You decide!

Microsoft prepared two web sites touting its IT infrastructure software, one in English and one in Polish. The English one featured the usual politically correct rainbow coalition of smiling everymen: A white woman, a black man and an Asian man.

The Polish site, however, featured a badly edited white man’s head sitting on top of the shirt collar of the man who was black in the English ad. (Here’s the English-language version of the site. Here’s the Polish-language version.)

Microsoft apologized, and has already started a witchhunt internal inquiry to figure out who needs to be fired.

Hat tip to Endgadget.

The 100 Euro Note

It is the month of August, on the shores of the Black Sea .  It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town.

He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to choose one.

The hotel proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower.

The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.

The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit.

The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.

The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 Euro note back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything.

At that moment, the tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 Euro note, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town.

No one earned anything. No one produced anything.  However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.....

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is doing business today.
