Incredible story!▼ Reshared Post From Trey Ratcliff ▼Exploring the world with +Google GlassJust recently, I met this gentleman in the wilds beyond the desert. He was so curious and interested in Glass. Absolutely transfixed, he asked me everything about it, then tried it on and played and played and played!  He loved it!  First I had him go through the same demo I give everyone.  I have them say, “Okay Glass, Take a picture” — it understands pretty much every accent around the world as far as I can tell. This always makes people freak out with excitement when they see the photo they just took floating as a hologram in front of their eyes.  Then he started using it more and more, going through all my emails, watching videos, seeing my text messages, asking Google questions, checking weather… I mean it just went on and on and on… and then he started showing all his friends and telling them about it — he was so excited.  Naturally, he was happy for me to take his photo while he was playing!We ended up talking about a bunch of different things.  I even bought an old used knife from him, and he showed me how to stick the curved end of it into a camel’s hump to get water in an emergency.  There’s another part of the knife you use to seal up the little puncture wound.  Then we talked about mediation, the sealing of the four cardinal spiritual doors in the night before entering the tent, different cultures around the world, and well, about a dozen other things.  Anyway, it was great… (btw after posting this, haha – I see that G+ automatically tagged it with Selfie!)[click-to-read-mo.re/p/6oQE](http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/6oQE)

NSA algorithm enables spies to see through paper.Top-secret documents reveal that the National Security Agency is dramatically expanding its ability to covertly monitor targets through webcams, according to a new report on The Intercept. The NSA has been able to use spyware for years that enables the organization to hijack laptop and PC webcams, and has used it to monitor target organizations and suspected terrorists. But in recent years, their efforts have been stymied by the use of Post-it Notes placed over the camera lenses, according to documents uncovered by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. In response, the NSA has developed new technology that can essentially see through paper. When a Post-it Note is placed over a webcam, it doesn’t block the light. It merely scatters it into a blurry blob of yellow. The NSA’s technology project, code-named GoldenEye, is able to use something called a spatial light modulator to re-assemble the scattered light back into something close to the original image. The ability to do this with lasers has existed for years, but the NSA program is the first to do it with regular light. The Intercept says the NSA has been using the GoldenEye technology for about a year to secretly monitor every webcam in the world covered by a Post-it Note. According to the report, the NSA doesn’t even bother to monitor webcams that are not covered, because those users obviously have nothing to hide. The NSA is working on an even more advanced version of GoldenEye that can see through duct tape and even electrical tape. The budget for GoldenEye is reportedly in the neighborhood of $42 gazillion. [firstlook.org/theinterc…](https://firstlook.org/theintercept/article/2014/04/01/nsa-algorithm-can-see-through-paper/http://click-to-read-mo.re/p/6lVm)
