Google releases power usage

Google has revealed how much energy it consumes to power YouTube, Gmal and its other services in the internet ‘cloud’ – and it’s enough to power the capital of Utah.

Google added the figures in ‘The Big Picture’ section of its Google Green website on Thursday.

The numbers show Google’s data centers use 260million watts – enough to power a city of 100,000 to 200,000 people.

Salt Lake City, Utah, by comparison, has a population of 186,440.

Government cell phone tracker

The government has their own cell phone tracker called The Stingray which was brought up in a court case. Once brought up in the court case to the judge the government was unwilling to reveal the full details. It was recently revealed in a criminal case in Arizona. Asked if it requires a search warrant, the government filed a memo basically arguing both ways: it said Stingray use generally doesn’t require a warrant, but concedes that one was required in this specific instance — a huge concession that could cost them the case, just so the Stingray’s design and functionality remain a secret.

Although the government’s lawyers are willing to tie themselves in knots trying to conceal the Stingray, we do have some information on how it works: experts told the WSJ that it mimics an actual cell tower pinging for a specific device, and the data can be used to triangulate a phone’s location. It can be concealed in the back of a van and measure the distance to any type of cell phone from multiple locations — circles drawn from each point will intersect within 100 meters of the phone’s location. Our FBI contact told us that tracking a cellphone normally requires a wireless provider’s cooperation, which could take weeks to obtain — the Stingray simplifies investigations because cell towers aren’t needed. We’ll see what happens — if it comes down to keeping the Stingray a secret or allowing law enforcement to track anyone they want without a warrant, we suppose we prefer the first.



I bet its on the black market now….
