It's just a theory
http://www.ted.com/talks/chris_domas_the_1s_and_0s_behind_cyber_warfare/
transcript
So let's consider an example of this that's completely theoretical. Suppose
a terrorist wants to blow up a building, and he wants to do this again and
again in the future. So he doesn't want to be in that building when it
explodes. He's going to use a cell phone as a remote detonator. Now, it used
to be the only way we had to stop this terrorist was with a hail of bullets
and a car chase, but that's not necessarily true anymore. We're entering an
age where we can stop him with the press of a buttonfrom 1,000 miles away,
because whether he knew it or not, as soon as he decided to use his cell
phone, he stepped into the realm of cyber. A well-crafted cyber attack could
break into his phone,disable the overvoltage protections on his battery,
drastically overload the circuit, cause the battery to overheat, and
explode. No more phone, no more detonator, maybe no more terrorist, all with
the press of a button from a thousand miles away.
3:51So how does this work? It all comes back to those ones and zeroes.
Binary information makes your phone work, and used correctly, it can make
your phone explode. So when you start to look at cyber from this
perspective, spending your life sifting through binary information starts to
seem kind of exciting.
btw.
If you're cramming more and more power in a small space, what you're making
is a small bomb," said Carl Hilliard, president of the California-based
Wireless Consumers Alliance, which has been tracking incidents of cell phone
fires and explosions.

OH ad the latest offering from TED talks was ..erm interesting..apparently
some guy was spouting on about how it is possible through careful analysis
of binary data to pinpoint a terrorists cell phone and cause it to overheat
and explode in his( or her )hand before they have completed the task of
remotely detonating a bomb.
three cheers for cyber!!

Apparently, one can affect the mood of those around one...put a miserable
post on cryptome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and everyone will start to feel miserable,
put a happy post on cryptome and everyone will be rooting for one. This is
apparently a sub-conscious activity unknown to the conscious mind.
I was so happy that Obamacare got on the statute book that I had a heart
attack from overexcitment...They sent me to England to get free treatment,
only for me to find that I had to wait 3 weeks to see a doctor under the N.
H.S. One can get an allowance from the state towards internment. Doesn't
that make you feel just wonderful...
Thank goodness I never got round to joining Facebook, or Twitter or all
those other social networks. I have friends who discuss their most intimate
affairs and have the most wonderful disputes on them. In the good old days
of course one had them face to face, either in public on the street, or in
private, and they soon died down and were lost forever. Nowadays they last
for ever on the internet. In the good old days, Oscar Wilde and Ruskin and
Whistler, and other such novelists and painters used to write books which
contested the philosophies and lifestyles of others, and it was entertaining
for those who chose to read them, particularly when they ended up suing one
another for being charlatans.
Nowadays, I see too that we have a direct line to the NSA and GCHQ according
to a report on Cryptome...which at the moment I can't find the url for, but
here is another one:

backdoor-bt-fttc-modems.html
(http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2013/12/confusion-alleged-gchq-nsa-backdoor-bt-fttc-modems.html)
.
The back door is literally through ones router, a secret channel and a
special hack built in allows the world's security and intelligence
organisations access to ones most intimate secrets, and can be used to plant
a profile, or as the spies say, a legend on ones computer andturn ones
"internet of things" into robots which bend to their will, which can then
be used to further their purposes in making the world a safer place for our
citizenry. If this report is true, we are indeed past the stage of being
able to do anything about it. Any of you guys got any ideas on what can be
done, or whether this contratemps is true?
Isn't it nice that all one's worldly secrets and most private information is
available to the NSA, GCHQ and anyone else who cares to meet one up the
middle?
C'est la vie.
