WAIMANOLO, Hawaii (PNN) - January 17, 2015 - Native Hawaiians could be in line for federal recognition similar to many Amerikan Indian tribes. But the issue is inflaming distrust between moderates who support the idea and others who want to see the Hawaiian Kingdom restored.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (PNN) - January 16, 2015 - On the first Sunday afternoon of 2015, Elon Musk took to the stage at a closed-door conference at a Puerto Rican resort to discuss an intelligence explosion. This slightly scary theoretical term refers to an uncontrolled hyper-leap in the cognitive ability of artificial intelligence (AI) that Musk and physicist Stephen Hawking worry could one day spell doom for the human race.

BERLIN, Germany (PNN) - January 14, 2015 - SnoopSnitch is an app for Android devices that analyses your mobile radio traffic to tell if someone is listening in on your phone conversations or tracking your location. Unlike standard antivirus apps, which are designed to combat software intrusions or steal personal info, SnoopSnitch picks up on things like fake mobile base stations or SS7 exploits. As such, it's probably ideally suited to evading surveillance from local government agencies.

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (PNN) - January 12, 2015 - Two Albuquerque terrorist pig thug cops were charged with murder Monday in the shooting death of a knife-wielding homeless man that led to violent protests and brought new scrutiny to the terrorist pig thug cop department amid a federal investigation.

PARIS, France (PNN) - January 12, 2015 - Amid the tears, sorrow and defiance of the unity march in Paris on Sunday, there was nonetheless at least one moment that managed to raise a smile.

January 9, 2015 - It will come as a surprise to absolutely no one when I say that I have no sympathy for the crypiggies who've begun blubbering, since the mess at Ferguson, about how dangerous their "profession" is and how some kind of special steps have to be taken now to protect them. I haven't actually heard any demands for more victim disarmament (gun control) but they do want sales of body armor to civilians to be banned.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 11, 2014 - The Fascist Police States of Amerika Navy says its new laser weapon works and it will use it if necessary.

The Office of Naval Research reported Wednesday that its laser weapons system - dubbed LaWS - had performed flawlessly in tests aboard the amphibious transport dock USS Ponce in the Arabian Gulf from September to November.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (PNN) - January 14, 2015 - It sounds like the stuff of a James Bond flick or something described in documents leaked by former NSA subcontractor Edward Snowden. In fact, this highly stealthy keystroke logger can be built by someone with only slightly above-average technical skills for as little as $10. Called KeySweeper, it's a device disguised as a functioning USB wall charger that sniffs, decrypts, logs, and transmits all input typed into a Microsoft wireless keyboard.

LONDON, England (PNN) - January 13, 2015 - David Cameron, the British Prime minister, is one-upping his Western allies when it comes to anti-encryption propaganda.
