Documents obtained by The Wall Street Journal open a rare window into a new global market for the off-the-shelf surveillance technology that has arisen in the decade since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The techniques described in the trove of 200-plus marketing documents, spanning 36 companies, include hacking tools that enable governments to break into people's computers and cellphones, and "massive intercept" gear that can gather all Internet communications in a country. The papers were obtained from attendees of a secretive surveillance conference held near Washington, D.C., last month.
Die größten Gefahren sind Schiedsrichter und kniehohe Papierkörbe. Einmal ist Ritter Keule beim gemeinsamen Torjubel mit dem Fuß über die weiße Linie geraten. Dafür hat er rot gesehen und musste den Innenraum verlassen. Auch mit dem Linienrichter ist er schon aneinander geraten, „weil der so schlecht war. Der hat mir gesagt: Noch eine Aktion, und du gehst runter.“
"Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" ran in April 1966 and became one of the most celebrated magazine stories ever published, a pioneering example of what came to be called New Journalism -- a work of rigorously faithful fact enlivened with the kind of vivid storytelling that had previously been reserved for fiction.
The drug of choice in the Nineties rave scene is coming back as a powder that can be shared socially like cocaine and distinguishes its more fashion-conscious users from 'pill heads'. Ecstasy, the drug of choice for the clubbers of the early 1990s, is making a comeback. Once synonymous with the rave scene, its popularity declined as the diminishing amount of methylenedioxymethamphetamine, or MDMA, the potent chemical once found in ecstasy tablets, saw a new generation of clubbers seek alternative substances. Now, according to Drugscope, the organisation that monitors street prices of illicit substances, ecstasy is back in demand as producers reintroduce it as a "premium" product. The Drugscope survey found that, after an absence of more than a decade, high MDMA-content ecstasy was on sale in half of the 20 towns and cities featured in its annual survey of the UK drugs scene.

In Berlin finden an jedem Wochenende rund 1500 Fußballspiele statt. Es wird gekickt und gejubelt, getreten und gepöbelt. Eine Stichprobe an einem ganz normalen Spieltag im Poststadion: „Ey, Schiri!“ Jeder Pfiff des Schiedsrichters wird kommentiert, in fast jedem Spiel. „Ey, Schiri!!“ Die Hobbyspieler imitieren die schlechten Angewohnheiten der Profis, bestürmen den Mann mit der Pfeife und bilden eine Traube um ihn. „Ey, Schiri!!!“ Hinter dem Rücken des Unparteiischen wird nachgetreten, Spieler gehen theatralisch zu Boden. „Ey, Schiri! Ey!!!!“
During protests in Warsaw last weekend, one crafty activist deployed a flying drone to spy on riot police. YouTube user latajacakamera — or “flying camera” in Polish — uploaded the amazing video that the drone effortlessly captured as it hovered over teargas-filled streets.In another video, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) floats in front of a formation of police in riot gear as they rush towards demonstrators. None of them appear to notice. Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson confirmed that the flying machine was built by the Polish company Robokopter. Watch this video from latajacakamera, uploaded to YouTube Nov. 12, 2011.
This is a live version of Cop Killer by Ice-T & Body Count. They were in New York City August 14, 1991.
A couple of times during the trip, when the tour bus is too hotboxed or somebody's boxers are on the floor, Tyler jokes about going solo. But when he accepted his MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist this year, his mom crying and screaming at his side, he delivered his largely bleeped-out speech with the group hopping around and hugging behind him. "I would never, never leave these dudes," he says. "Without them trusting my lead and having my back no matter what the fuck happened, I wouldn't be here. Because I come up with some crazy shit, and nobody trusted me, but these motherfuckers was like, 'You know what? Fuck it, eat a roach.'"

On the eve of the biggest Greek strike since the right-wing junta was overthrown almost three decades ago, VICE travels to Athens to meet up with the people behind it. Students, anarchists, trade unionists, and communists let us into their squats to discuss the current government and why it must burn.
Er ist kein Kombinationsfußballer, sondern ein kalter Vollstrecker, dessen Tore selten Kunstwerke sind, dafür meist sehr wichtig. Sein Motto »Ein Tor, das zu keinem Titel führt, ist ein unwichtiges Tor!« In Mailand findet er seine Brüder im Geiste. Mit einer Mixtur aus Schnelligkeit, Gewandtheit und Kraft überrumpelt er die ansonsten bombensicheren Serie-A-Defensiven, seine eleganten, raumgreifenden Schritte lassen sie reihenweise wie erstarrte Salzsäulen aussehen. Am Ende seiner ersten Saison trifft der Ukrainer 24 Mal in 32 Spielen und wird Torschützenkönig. Aus dem fremden Kauz aus der Ukraine wird Sheva. Das ist hebräisch und bedeutet: Sieben. Er verdrängt Weltstars wie Bierhoff, Weah und Gilardino ins zweite Glied.
Union geht neue Wege im Profi-Fußball, denn in Zukunft sollen Anhänger und Sponsoren Stadionaktien erwerben. Vereinspräsident Dirk Zingler ist für eine „sinnvolle Kommerzialisierung“ und spricht im Interview mit der Berliner Zeitung über die gegenwärtige Fußballkultur.
"Bei uns stehen die Fans. Weil Menschen anders jubeln und singen und ein Spiel genießen, wenn sie auf beiden Beinen stehen. Sie sind aktiver, sie sind mehr dabei. Hinzu kommt das, was wir "dosierte Kommerzialisierung" nennen. Das heißt, ein Eckball wird bei uns nicht von einem Sponsor präsentiert. Er findet einfach statt. Ohne Firlefanz, ohne Unterbrechung. Es gibt keine Fanfaren zwischendurch, keine Werbespots. Nichts, was die Atmosphäre stört, was einen vom Spiel ablenkt."

In 2009, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a think tank sponsored by the governments of 30 of the most powerful capitalist countries and dedicated to promoting free-market institutions, concluded that half the workers of the world -- close to 1.8 billion people -- were working in System D: off the books, in jobs that were neither registered nor regulated, getting paid in cash, and, most often, avoiding income taxes.
Von den Achtzigern, in denen alles begann, über die Neunziger, in denen Savas auf Englisch rappte und als Writer aktiv war, die Ära von Hamburg und Stuttgart und die folgende Gangsterrapwelle bis heute. Rapgeschichte aus der Sicht des King of Rap.
So close your eyes, pretty country child
Outside the lights are bright and the night is wild
Out there you're just a straw floating in the wind
Come in here pretty child and do it again
Little chickens and their chicken hawks
They're going to teach you a brand new way to walk
When you stare at the moon, your eyes will be hard and cold
You'll live your life trying never to grow old
It's the sports cars he's written off, the unauthorised visits to women's prisons to see what they are like, the cash gifted to homeless people outside casinos at 2am, the fights with teammates on training grounds, the fight with his bib when he couldn't put it on, the £5,000 in cash found in his backpocket when stopped by the police ("Why are you carrying so much money, sir?" "Because I am rich"), the possibly apocryphal story of taking a truant back to school to meet his bullies, the almost certainly apocryphal story that he is allergic to grass. And on it goes. It's impossible to separate truth from urban myths, and City fans don't care to – preferring to collate all his deeds and misdeeds into a multi-versed tribute that is possibly the longest song in football history, and being extended by the week.
Accepting his 2007 TED Prize, war photographer James Nachtwey shows his lifes work and asks TED to help him continue telling the story with innovative, exciting uses of news photography in the digital era.
"They called me and the beat was already playing. I think NaS was in the booth already doing (his verse). We just getting high, drinking a lot of Hennessey, just popping shit about how we were going to take over the game. And the next thing you know, they threw their verses down, I just came in and put the cherry on top. I did my shit right on the spot."
In these photo essays, I hope to explore the events of the war, the people involved at the front and back home, and the effects the war had on everyday lives. The entries will follow a roughly chronological sequence, with some broader themes (such as "The Home Front") interspersed throughout. These images will give us glimpses into the real-life experiences of our parents, grandparents and great grandparents, moments that shaped the world as it is today.
