1…………> I Spy: Google Chrome
A number of “Cousin” Google Chrome users recently became aware of the fact that not only does their browser allow them to surf the web, but it also quietly scans their personal files without prior consent with a “Trojan Horse” that is the updated version of Chrome Cleanup Tool.
If suspected malware is detected, the Cleanup Tool then sends the suspicious file’s metadata to Google and asks the user’s permission to remove the potential threat, but Google Chrome Security Chief Justin Schuh insisted that the addon sole purpose is to deal with “unwanted software manipulating” the browsers.

Speaking in Moscow at the start of his talks with Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, PLA Chief General Wei Fenghe said that he chose Russia for his first trip abroad to “show the world … [the] firm determination of our armed forces to strengthen strategic cooperation, [and] to let the Americans know about the close ties between the armed forces of China and Russia,” an unmistakable and not even a veiled threat of the “strategic partnership” as being a shared opposition to the “unipolar” world: i.e. perceived US global domination.
As part of their “beginning of a beautiful friendship” military cooperation, Moscow and Beijing have conducted joint military maneuvers, including exercises in the South China Sea, last summer’s navy drills in the Baltics, and joint missile defense drills intended to practice a unified response to missile threats from other countries.

We are not in a trade war with China, that war was lost many years ago by the foolish, or incompetent, people who represented the U.S. Now we have a Trade Deficit of $500 Billion a year, with Intellectual Property Theft of another $300 Billion. We cannot let this continue!

San Francisco General Hospital’s spokesman said that of the three yesterday terror attack victims being treated, one is in a critical condition following the shooting rampage by a woman identified as the 39-year-old San Diego resident Nasim Najafi Aghdam, who had voiced complaints online about YouTube on previous occasions.
