Fake internet cafes and keyloggers: British intelligence reportedly spied on major world leaders during 2009 G20 summit
Author: Ian Simpson
Using tactics that included luring diplomats into fake internet cafes, The Guardian reports that British intelligence spied on major world leaders during the 2009 G20 summit in London. The revelation is based on documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden, who fueled earlier leaks about the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the US National Security Agency (NSA) through The Guardian and The Washington Post.
The G20 summit in London included President Obama as well as 20 other heads of state and governing bodies. During the summit, the GCHQ reportedly monitored the foreign politicians’ computers and phone calls, and had direct permission to do so from high-level officials in then-PM Gordon Brown’s administration.

Author: jos
The ASEAN summit has concluded, leaving the South China Sea territorial issues undiscussed. The Philippines’ foreign minister walked out of ASEAN meeting early in protest of the fact that the Scarborough Shoal issue was not discussed. He accused China of convincing the summit’s host nation, Cambodia, to leave it off of the official agenda. Al Jazeera’s Steve Chao reportsAl Jazeera (Arabic: الجزيرة al-ǧazīrah IPA: [æl dʒæˈziːrɐ, æl dʒæˈziːrɑ], literally “The Island”, abbreviating “The [Arabian] Peninsula”; also Aljazeera or JSC [Jazeera Satellite Channel]) is an independent[3][4] broadcaster owned by the state of Qatar through the Qatar Media Corporation and headquartered in Doha, Qatar. Initially launched as an Arabic news and current affairs satellite TV channel, Al Jazeera has since expanded into a network with several outlets, including the Internet and specialty TV channels in multiple languages. Al Jazeera is accessible in several world regions. The original Al Jazeera channel’s willingness to broadcast dissenting views, for example on call-in shows, created controversies in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf. The station gained worldwide attention following the September 11, 2001 attacks, when it was the only channel to cover the war in Afghanistan live from its office there.[5] In the 2000s, the network was praised by the Index on Censorship for circumventing censorship and contributing to the free exchange of information in the Arab world, and by the Webby …

ARM server running on pedal power demoed at Red Hat Summit
Author: Natalie Wood
With x86 and a couple of high-powered RISC chips dominating the listing of the most powerful computer systems on Earth, you may be pondering what’s the large package with ARM and it’s push into the server space. Well, this is the huge offer. The image above is of Jon Masters powering a Calxeda-server from HP with nothing greater than a bike. OK, so there’s a bit more to the setup– consisting of a 400 watt inverter, a 35 Ah battery, a UPS and a Pedal-a-Watt– but the gist of it is that Masters was able keep 32 ARM primaries humming along simply by pedaling his road bike at the Red Hat Summit. The demo was primarily meant as a proof of principle, however we can quickly imagine our future robotic overlords putting us to work keeping their network of servers running. On the plus side, pedaling to power the Web could help fix our worldwide weight problems epidemic. For a quick excursion of the tackle, have a look at the online video after the break.

Microsoft announces Windows Phone Developer Summit: June 20-21 in San Francisco, CA
Author: Dave Adams
Microsoft built a beautiful and intuitive mobile operating system that excels at certain chores; now, it’s time for Windows Phone to attempt to attract the developers that Steve Ballmer once famously stressed the importance of. That’s probably why Microsoft just announced it’s holding a Windows Phone Developer Summit on June 20th and 21st in San Francisco, California.
The company definitely has student talent working on some programs, and is reportedly working on multi-million dollar marketing initiatives specifically to attract top apps to the platform, but in order to grow a software ecosystem that’s recently extended to dozens of new countries, it probably wouldn’t hurt to show the world where the money is, and how Microsoft intends…

Heads of Google, eBay, Facebook and Twitter will advise G8 summit on how to search, sell, poke and RT
Author: Tech Blogger
So what if Barack Obama managed to bring the vast majority of US tech leaders in for a private meeting recently? Nicolas Sarkozy can do it too! The French président and soon-to-be host of the next G8 gathering is said to be preparing some rather handsome invitations to Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt and a few other big timers from the internet in order to discuss the world wide web’s future direction. The input from these web sages is to be filtered down into a volume of extremely precious wisdom, which is to then be conveyed to the multinational meeting taking place in Deauville near the end of May. Sarkozy just needs to make sure the other seven participating nations don’t object before sending out the official invites. We have a pretty good idea of what Eric Schmidt thinks our future will involve, but Zuckerberg and the others? That’ll be interesting to hear.

Linux Foundation announces the Android Builders Summit
Author: Gabe Hall
Everyone and their brother seems to be coming out with some kind of Android powered doohickey. This is generating a fair amount of fatigue in consumers, as well as developers, as they grapple with the differing features in each vendor’s Android product. The Linux Foundation hopes to help remedy some of this with their upcoming Android Builders Summit, April 13-14 in San Francisco. This isn’t some Android Users Group potluck, but rather “an intimate forum for collaboration at the systems level and discussion of core issues and opportunities when designing Android devices.”
I’m a big fan of the promise of Android, because it’s basically the same promise that Linux offers, and in the end the availability of options drives interesting developments. I share everyone else’s frustrations that OEMs continue to cripple the base system by forcing users to use crappy custom interfaces or branded apps. I don’t expect the Android Builders Summit to remedy these issues immediately, but I’m really glad to see that someone is making an effort to build teamwork and collaboration amongst Android developers.
The Android Builders Summit takes place at the same time as the Linux Foundation’s Embedded Linux Conference, so there’s sure to be some interesting overlap between the two camps.
New event brings together OEMs, device makers, systems builders and kernel community to collaborate on the Android platform
SAN FRANCISCO, February 16, 2011 — The Linux Foundation, the non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced the first ever AndroidÔ Builder Summit taking place in San Francisco April 13-14, 2011.
The event was created at the request of The Linux Foundation’s members to facilitate collaboration at the systems level. It is co-located with the 2011 Embedded Linux Conference and is open to all.
The Android market is one of the fastest growing areas in all of technology today. The Linux-based operating system’s (OS) global market share on smart phones is surpassing that of Apple iOS, and the release of Android 3.0 (also known as “Honeycombâ€) is poised to drive the same trend in the tablet market. The Android Builder Summit will help advance the technology that sits at the very core of each Android device while accelerating the adoption of Linux throughout the consumer devices market.
The Android Builders Summit is a technical summit for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), their device manufacturers, integrators, custom builders, and the growing Android and Linux Kernel developer communities. The Summit will provide an intimate forum for collaboration at the systems level and discussion of core issues and opportunities when designing Android devices.
Summit topics will include: custom builds, alternative middleware, network functionality extensions, Peer to Peer frameworks, USB device support, security, unification of power management, tools and hybrid Android devices among many other topics. To submit a proposal for the Summit, please visit: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/android-builders-summit
“Linux is providing the foundation on which next-generation devices are being built, and Android is one of the most shining examples of how successful this model can be,†said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation. “We’re pleased to facilitate collaboration among the Android’s ecosystem participants and drive innovation at the systems level of the platform.â€
To register for the Android Builder Summit, or to get more information about speaking or sponsorship opportunities, please visit: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/android-builders-summit
Android training classes offered by The Linux Foundation will be taking place directly after the Android Builder Summit. For more information, please visit: http://training.linuxfoundation.org/courses/android-training-for-developers. For ongoing training opportunities for Android developers, please visit: http://training.linuxfoundation.org/courses/android-developer.
The Linux Foundation fosters innovation by hosting events for the Linux technical and business communities. These events help solve pressing issues facing Linux and fuel collaboration and communication between all members of the Linux ecosystem: developers, users, industry, ISVs and distribution vendors. Other Linux Foundation events include a mix of industry and community conferences such as its annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit, LinuxCon (North America, Europe, Japan and Brazil) and the Kernel Summit, among others.

Would You Let Your Kid Climb Mount Everest?
Author: Charity Woods
I’m all for encouraging my kids to get outside explore and discover the wonders of nature. Let’s climb up tall things and see off into the horizon.
At some point, climbing becomes a serious endeavor and the danger level increases. Mount Everest is clearly one of those climbs. At 8,848 meters it is the tallest peak on the face of our planet. There are only 13 other peaks that stand above the 8,000 meter threshold where it is difficult for humans to survive because of the thin air, in addition to the dangers of frost-bight, avalanches and falls.
I was stunned to hear that a 13 year old was going to try to summit the tallest peak. Jordan Romero is on a quest to climb the tallest mountains on each of the world’s seven continents. He summited Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania at age 9. He summitted Mount Aconcagua after petitioning the Argentine government to wave its 14 year old age limit for summit permits.
On Saturday, young Jordan reached the summit of Mount Everest with his dad, his dad’s girlfriend, and three Nepalese sherpas. Even more important, they made it back down. (The last update while writing this article was that they had made as far down as advanced base camp.)
We at GeekDad did not publish this story until after Jordan reached the summit and got back down. As parents, some of us had a big concern that his father was pushing him to reach the summit and was putting him into danger. (See Outside’s Into Teen Air.) We didn’t want to publish a story that could have ended in the death of a 13 year old.
Clearly, Jordan was in extreme danger. Everest News .com had the current count at 321 successful summit attempts and 2 deaths. By the end of the 2008 climbing season on Mount Everest, there had been 4,102 ascents to the summit and by the end of 2009 Mount Everest had claimed 216 lives. For me, those are very scary odds. They are even scarier to let me child step into that situation.
Romero next needs to make it to Antarctica’s Mt. Vinson to reach his goal of climbing the seven summits. That is a climb that is very difficult logistically, but not nearly as dangerous as Mount Everest.
The people who read GeekDad share an interest in raising their kids. There’s so much to think about in the story of Jordan Romero. As parents helping our kids to achieve their dreams, we also bear the risk and responsibility for their safety. Where should we draw the lines?
