Google+ URL Tips
Ok so I never realized this until +Halfdan Reschat pointed it out in another post but if you Camel Case (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase) a url without prefixing it with the transport it won't be clickable. Maybe someone from +Google+ can shed light as to why. 

* PaulSpoerry.com - doesn't work
* www.PaulSpoerry.com - works
* http://PaulSpoerry.com - works!
* paulspoerry.com - works
* www.paulspoerry.com - works
* http://www.PaulSpoerry.com - works

So if you intend on linking to content within a post on Google+ make sure you make the URL all lowercase, put www in front of it (if you don't use it that way you should be handling that in htaccess anyway!), or specify the protocol in front of it.

John Mcafee tells you How To Uninstall McAfee Antivirus

#NSFW  for language, partial nudity and drug use. Pretty fucking hilarious though if you ask me. He hasn't been involved with Mcafee software for ~15 years, has a dude show you how to uninstall the software while he disrobes, does drugs surrounded by ladies, etc. Just go watch... it's worth it.

Via Wired: "There was always something odd about John McAfee. The tech entrepreneur made a fortune from the antivirus software that bears his name, but also spent years as a cocaine addict, spiritual guru and yoga expert. In 2009, after losing millions in the stock market crash, he decided to retire to the tiny Central American nation of Belize. That’s when things really got weird. He started hanging out with killers, prostitutes, and pimps. He fell in love with a 17-year-old and surrounded his tropical compoundwit... more »

"When I was brought up, my dad taught me, other countries, when they got prisoners in a war, they tortured them. But we Americans didn't torture them.... And I was so proud of my country. And now I find out it's just the opposite. I just wish, all these things that I talk about with the Constitution -- which made us so good as people -- they're nothing. They were all dissolved with the Patriot Act. There are these laws that just sort of say we can secretly call anything terrorism and do anything we want.... And I read the Constitution, and I'm not even sure how all this stuff happened. It's so clear what the Constitution says. It's extremely clear in the Bill of Rights. One thing afteran... more »

We've surpassed 50 donors!

This message is for everyone who has supported us and the three #LGBT  organizations we're featuring this month for #Pride . We've raised over $1,000 for one of them in just over a week and we just wanted to tell all of our donors so far how much we love them. They'll be getting a special thank you from us in the mail soon :)

You too can build the fund! Read the stories of three incredible organizations, donate, and vote for the one you think should receive the whole fund. Make a big impact with a small act http://bit.ly/ZqJerh

$999. You guys planned this didn't you? ;)
Donate now here: http://bit.ly/ZqJerh

We are literally one dollar shy of reaching $1,000 to +The LittleBigFund for June! We're a few days behind on reaching our first week's $1k goal, but I know that the moment you see this post you're going to help us make it right? :D

Pledge wise we're doing fantastically. Most people have donated monthly which means that we've raised more than just the $999 for this month. While I really hope you choose to donate monthly even if it's just $5 rather than a bigger one-time donation, I'm super duper grateful for whatever you guys feel comfortable giving :)

WooCommerce Passes 1 Million Downloads

WooCommerce is what we used for the backend for +The LittleBigFund; well... it's part of the backend. What we needed to do was a little more complicated than just the vanilla WooCommerce solution but it's still the foundation for how we built a #Donation  site. 

"Friday marked a monumental milestone. After 52 releases, 35 official themes, 192 official extensions, a lot of hard work, and a whole bunch of community contribution WooCommerce has surpassed 1,000,000 downloads. Only 626 days from it’s launch!"

To celebrate they are running a flash 48 hour promotion, site wide, across all WordPress themes, plugins and WooCommerce extensions.

1.8 gigapixel ARGUS-IS. World's highest resolution video surveillance plane

The ARGUS array is made up of several cameras and other types of imaging systems. The output of the imaging system is used to create extremely large, 1.8GP high-resolution mosaic images and video.

The U.S. Army, along with Boeing, has developed and is preparing to deploy a new unmanned aircraft called the "Hummingbird." It's is a VTOL-UAS (vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial system). Three of them are being deployed to Afghanistan for a full year to survey and spy on Afghanistan from an altitude of 20,000 feet with the ability to scan 25 square miles of ground surface.

But does it have #Instagram  filters?!

This is hilarious. Oh... and #Java  is still filled with security holes, 40 more to be updated tomorrow. 

"According to Oracle's security announcement, the patch pack addresses 40 different vulnerabilities. All update levels of Java SE 5, 6, and 7 are affected by the flaws, as are all versions of JavaFX.

Of the 40 bugs, all but three are remotely exploitable over a network without the need for a username or password."

When Derek met David.
Support Rainbow Families DC here: http://bit.ly/11a4HJe

When Derek met David, “It was a given,” that they would get married, according to Derek. The couple, who both live in DC, officially got engaged when Derek, who “decided it was time,” changed their Facebook status from “In a Relationship” to “Engaged” as David slept. “He went along with it,” Derek said. “He did tell me that I would have to give him a proper proposal, though.” A few months later, Derek officially officially asked David at dinner. He agreed and they had officially started a family.

Derek works at a university and David is a second grade teacher, so it was no surprise that they very much want children. “With David as my husband, I have the perfect partner. Now that we have steady jobs, our two dogs, and a house with a yard, it’s time!” What would be afairly straightforward proces... more »

The #NSA  is baffled as to how Ed Snowden had access to everything he had access to. They don't think it's possible.

Among the questions is how a contract employee at a distant NSA satellite office was able to obtain a copy of an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, a highly classified document that would presumably be sealed from most employees and of little use to someone in his position. 

"A former senior NSA official said that the number of agency officials with access to such court orders is “maybe 30 or maybe 40. Not large numbers.” And, according to other reports, Snowden delivered much, much more to reporters: Mr. Snowden has now turned over archives of “thousands” of documents, according to Mr. Greenwald, and “dozens” are newsworthy."

Even if we assume the U.S. government never abuses this data  - which Idoubt - if they... more »

Dear Members of Congress,

We write to express our concern about recent reports published in the Guardian and the Washington Post, and acknowledged by the Obama Administration, which reveal secret spying by the National Security Agency (NSA) on phone records and Internet activity of people in the United States.

The Washington Post and the Guardian recently published reports based on information provided by a career intelligence officer showing how the NSA and the FBI are gaining broad access to data collected by nine of the leading U.S. Internet companies and sharing this information with foreign governments. As reported, the U.S. government is extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents, andconnect... more »

The post launch report for LittleBigFund!

In the effort of transparency it is my pleasure to share with you our launch report. Watching the launch of The LittleBigFund was a strange situation. I had done everything I could to engage people and the moment I posted the launch announcement it was out of my hands. I watched hard work pay off as shares and +1's climbed higher and higher while donations rolled in. As we spend the rest of the month diving deep into the three organizations whose stories we told, it's clear to me that we have something extremely special that needs your commitment.

Especially encouraging was reading people's accurate explanations of LBF in their own words. They got it! You got it. Thank you for your palpable support.

With nearly 1,000 unique visitors and just shy of 4,000 page views, it was clear that people... more »
