德國媒體報道,迷你倉美國國家安全局能夠侵入所有主流智能手機,獲取用戶數據,只是還沒有廣泛應用這一手段。全“淪陷”德國《明鏡》周刊網站8日報道,美國國家安全局能夠接入蘋果手機和黑莓手機的操作系統以及穀歌公司安卓系統。報道說,美國國家安全局針對不同手機系統設立專門小組,分頭“突破”各類型手機操作系統的保護措施,以秘密訪問手機數據。美國國安局可以獲取這些手機的大部分敏感數據,包括通訊錄、通話記錄、短信息、備忘錄和用戶位置信息。報道以美國國家安全局和英國情報機構政府通信總部的內部資料為依據。美國《紐約時報》、英國《衛報》等多家媒體幾天前報道,英美這兩家情報機構在破解加密技術方面密切合作。有針對《明鏡》周刊依據所獲得的文件推斷,美國國家安全局沒有大規模監視智能手機用戶,而是在某些情形下監視特定目標,而且智能手機製造商並不知情。這一德國主流媒體沒有提及獲取情報機構文件的方式,而報道署名作者之一是美國電影制片人勞拉·波伊特拉斯。波伊特拉斯與“棱鏡門”泄密者美國中儲存倉情報局前僱員愛德華·斯諾登接觸密切,先前曾以斯諾登提供的資料為依據披露美國政府情報監視活動。根據斯諾登不久前提供的信息,美國國家安全局利用超級計算機、技術標準、法庭命令和幕後勸說等多種手段,已經秘密攻破或能夠繞開現有常用互聯網加密技術,獲取用戶私密信息。 新華社特稿案例A:入侵與蘋果手機同步數據的電腦按照英美情報機構的內部文件,情報人員聲稱,美國國家安全局成功入侵蘋果手機用戶用來同步數據的電腦,可以入侵蘋果手機至少38項功能。這些機密資料清晰顯示,美國情報人員曾成功入侵黑莓手機。多份文件顯示,國家安全局2009年一度無法入侵黑莓系統,但2010年3月重新“攻陷”黑莓手機。以黑莓系統為目標的情報部門宣佈這一“進展”時,大呼“開香檳吧”以示慶祝。B:攻陷“無法入侵”的黑莓郵件系統美國國家安全局還曾成功侵入外界普遍認為非常安全的黑莓郵件系統。《明鏡》周刊認定,這對於黑莓公司而言可能算是不小的挫敗,這家企業先前一直聲稱自己的郵件系統“無法入侵”。 新華社迷你倉價錢

網絡誹謗的“罪”與“罰”——兩高關於網絡誹謗案司法解釋五大焦點解讀
《最高人民法院、最高人民檢察院關於辦理利用信息網絡實施誹謗等刑事案件適用法律若干問題的解釋》9日公佈。這個總共10條的司法解釋,mini storage通過厘清信息網絡發表言論的法律邊界,為懲治利用網絡實施誹謗等犯罪提供了明確的法律標尺,從而規範網絡秩序、保護人民群�合法權益。司法解釋將于2013年9月10日起施行。司法解釋對利用信息網絡“捏造事實誹謗他人”及實施誹謗行為“情節嚴重”的認定,利用信息網絡實施誹謗犯罪適用公訴程序的條件,利用信息網絡實施尋釁滋事、敲詐勒索、非法經營等犯罪的認定,嚴厲打擊信息網絡共同犯罪等8個方面的問題進行了明確規定。焦點一:誹謗信息被轉發500次可判刑我國刑法規定,以暴力或者其他方法公然侮辱他人或者捏造事實誹謗他人,情節嚴重的,構成侮辱罪或誹謗罪。此次出台的司法解釋對利用信息網絡誹謗他人構成誹謗罪的兩個要件“捏造事實誹謗他人”“情節嚴重”分別予以了明確。根據解釋,“捏造損害他人名譽的事實”或“將信息網絡上涉及他人的原始信息內容篡改為損害他人名譽的事實”,在信息網絡上散佈,或者組織、指使人員在信息網絡上散佈的,即可認定為“捏造事實誹謗他人”。同時規定:“明知是捏造的損害他人名譽的事實,在信息網絡上散佈,情節惡劣的,以‘捏造事實誹謗他人’論。”解釋規定,具有下列情形之一的,應當認定“情節嚴重”:(一)同一誹謗信息實際被點擊、瀏覽次數達到5000次以上,或者被轉發次數達到500次以上的;(二)造成被害人或者其近親屬精神失常、自殘、自殺等嚴重後果的;(三)二年內曾因誹謗受過行政處罰,又誹謗他人的;(四)其他情節嚴重的情形。■解讀中國人民大學刑事法律科學研究中心副主任謝望原指出,我國刑法規定的誹謗罪一個顯著特點是,只有“情節嚴重”的誹謗行為才構成誹謗罪,而一般的誹謗行為只能作為民事侵權或行政違法行為處理。長期以來,何謂“情節嚴重”一直是誹謗罪認定中的一大難題。“現在,司法解釋予以了明確。這就意味著凡是利用信息網絡惡意發表誹謗他人信息,達到上述四項標準之一的,行為人必須承擔相應刑事責任。”謝望原說。最高人民法院新聞發言人孫軍工表示,若行為人不明知是他人捏造的虛假事實而在信息網絡上發佈、轉發的,即使對被害人的名譽造成了一定的損害,也不構成誹謗罪。孫軍工說,當前,“網絡反腐”、“微博反腐”對於反腐倡廉工作發揮了積極的作用,“即使檢舉、揭發的部分內容失實,只要不是故意捏造事實誹謗他人的,就不應以誹謗罪追究刑事責任”。焦點二:網絡誹謗七種情形可公訴按照刑法規定,誹謗罪除“嚴重危害社會秩序和國家利益”的情形外,屬於“告訴才處理”的案件,即自訴案件。被害人如果沒有自行向人民法院提起訴訟,要求追究行為人的刑事責任的,人民法院不能對實施誹謗的行為人處以刑罰,但“嚴重危害社會秩序和國家利益的”除外。為了準確界定“嚴重危害社會秩序和國家利益”的情形,正確適用公訴程序,解釋列舉了七種情形:(一)引發群體性事件的;(二)引發公共秩序混亂的;(三)引發民族、宗教衝突的;(四)誹謗多人,造成惡劣社會影響的;(五)損害國家形象,嚴重危害國家利益的;(六)造成惡劣國際影響的;(七)其他嚴重危害社會秩序和國家利益的情形。■解讀中國青年政治學院副院長林維說:“考慮到網絡誹謗行為的匿名性、智能性和高度危害性,如果對於誹謗案件的公訴範圍仍然過度限制,勢必使得公民個人舉證不能,因而無法充分保障自身權益,也self storage法實現社會秩序的良性維持。”林維認為,一方面要尊重公民自己提起訴訟的權利,另一方面也必須考慮到對於嚴重危害社會秩序和國家利益的誹謗行為,合理適度地擴張公訴範圍。焦點三:散佈謠言起哄鬧事可追究尋釁滋事罪根據我國刑法規定,在公共場所起哄鬧事,造成公共場所秩序嚴重混亂的,構成尋釁滋事罪。解釋結合信息網絡的“工具屬性”和“公共屬性”,規定了利用信息網絡實施尋釁滋事犯罪的兩種基本行為方式。一是利用信息網絡辱罵、恐嚇他人,情節惡劣,破壞社會秩序的,依照刑法規定,以尋釁滋事罪定罪處罰。二是編造虛假信息,或者明知是編造的虛假信息,在信息網絡上散佈,或者組織、指使人員在信息網絡上散佈,起哄鬧事,造成公共秩序嚴重混亂的,依照刑法規定,以尋釁滋事罪定罪處罰。■解讀中國政法大學刑事司法學院院長曲新久認為,互聯網各類網站、主頁、留言板等網絡空間具有“公共場所”屬性。曲新久指出,盡管在信息網絡公共空間“起哄鬧事”行為,沒有造成網絡上“公共場所秩序”的混亂,但是造成現實社會秩序嚴重混亂危害更大,完全符合刑法規定的“破壞社會秩序”的要求。解釋將編造虛假信息在信息網絡上散佈等行為以尋釁滋事罪定罪處罰,兼顧了保障人權與保護社會。焦點四:發帖勒索他人可定敲詐勒索罪針對在網絡上通過“發帖”或者“刪帖”的形式,威脅要挾他人索取財物的,解釋規定,以在信息網絡上發佈、刪除等方式處理網絡信息為由,威脅、要挾他人,索取公私財物,數額較大,或者多次實施上述行為的,依照刑法規定,以敲詐勒索罪定罪處罰。■解讀孫軍工表示,不管是“發帖型”還是“刪帖型”,這兩種手段,實質上都是借助信息網絡,主動對被害人實施要挾、威脅行為,進而索取公私財物,完全符合刑法規定的敲詐勒索罪的構成要件,應以敲詐勒索罪追究刑事責任。此外,他還強調,這條規定使用了“信息”而非“虛假信息”的表述。因此,行為人威脅將要在信息網絡上發佈涉及被害人、被害單位的負面信息即使是真實的,但只要行為人出于非法佔有的目的,以發佈、刪除該負面信息為由勒索公私財物的,仍然構成敲詐勒索罪。焦點五:違規有償“刪帖”可認定非法經營罪提到“網絡水軍”,大家並不陌生。他們由網絡公關公司僱傭,以獲取利益為目的,在互聯網上集體炒作某個話題或人物,以宣傳、推銷或攻擊某些人或產品。對此,解釋規定:違反國家規定,以營利為目的,通過信息網絡有償提供刪除信息服務,或者明知是虛假信息,通過信息網絡有償提供發佈信息等服務,擾亂市場秩序,具有下列情形之一的,屬於非法經營行為“情節嚴重”,依照刑法規定,以非法經營罪定罪處罰:(一)個人非法經營數額在五萬元以上,或者違法所得數額在二萬元以上的;(二)單位非法經營數額在十五萬元以上,或者違法所得數額在五萬元以上的。■解讀北京師範大學教授王志祥認為,依據《互聯網信息服務管理辦法》的規定,國家對經營性互聯網信息服務實行許可制度;對非經營性互聯網信息服務實行備案制度;未取得許可或者未履行備案手續的,不得從事互聯網信息服務。由此可以看出,“網絡水軍”、網絡公關公司的行為就可能對合法的互聯網信息服務市場秩序造成危害。孫軍工強調,這條規定必須以行為人明知所發佈的信息是虛假信息為前提。“如果行為人不明知所發佈的信息為虛假信息,即使收取了一定的費用,也不應認定為非法經營罪。”但對於通過信息網絡向他人有償提供刪除信息服務的,司法解釋不要求行為人明知所刪除的信息為虛假信息。迷你倉

Nervous US and China-Russia ties
Russia and China should work more closely to prevent international relations from returning to the era of power poli- tics when the countries’sovereignty was violated with impunity by the US.迷你倉價錢The White House seems to be have become a little nervous in recent years. It looks like some “minor annoyances”,such as the setbacks of anti-govern- ment forces in Syria, former National Security Agency operative Edward Snowden’s revelations, and some domestic problems, have pushed US President Barack Obama to take sharp steps and issue strong statements.Perhaps the developments have also prompted Obama to declare the Unit- ed States’ commitment to power poli- tics, although he has used democracy and justice to justify such expressions.h e expos� of Washington’s surveil- lance program by Snowden didn’tforce the US to turn cold toward Rus- sia. It was something more than that.Russia, like China, does not share the White House’s conviction that only Washington has the right to decide the fate of the world, and refuses to follow the US’ dictates in international rela- tions. h e US is set to launch attacks on Syria, and in the process it would like once again to discredit its two main policy opponents, Russia and China, in the eyes of the American public and people across the rest of the world. h e US aims to use the Snowden case — that Russia has granted him asylum — and the base- less accusation against China as an “Internet spy” to discredit them.h e fact is that all developed coun- tries have Internet spying networks.But ordinary people have come to real- ize the seriousness of the problem only at er Snowden’s revelations.h e US has the most potent Inter- net spying network in the world, and it uses its connections with telecom giants like Google, Apple, Yahoo, YouTube and Skype to snoop into people’s lives. h e hype created by the US over Russian and Chinese Internet espionage networks is also an attempt to divert attention from its own activi- ties. h e technique of accusing others to divert attention from one’s own wrongdoings is as old as the times.h e US uses its powerful propaganda machine to divert attention from its own dirty work.Despite all this, Russia-US relations are not likely to deteriorate to a point of no return, even though their bilat- eral ties are incomplete and diversii ed.It’s true that the Russia-US trade vol- ume in 2012 was just more than $28 billion, one-third of that between Rus- sia and China. And the US is not even among the top 10 foreign investors in Russia, with the volume of accumu- lat迷你倉最平d American investment in the Rus- sia dropping over the past i ve years by about $500 million. But despite the relative economic weakness of Russia and the unimpressive Russia-US eco- nomic ties, Washington cannot ignore Moscow, especially because of the pos- sibility of joint Russia-China actions in the international arena.In contrast to Russia-US ties, eco- nomic relations are central to Sino-US ties, though economic interdepen- dence is not the only criterion for a peaceful long-term relationship. h ere is more to bilateral relations than trade. For example, China and the US follow dif erent ideologies and have dif erent social systems, and some people even say they have a trust dei - cit. But still they are each other’s major trade partners. Which means genuine trust is impossible without mutual understanding between countries.For Russia and China both, social and political stability at home is most crucial, and they earnestly believe that domestic problems have to be solved domestically. h is has been the driv- ing factor in the relationship. h e US being a global power has become used to solving its domestic problems at the expense of other countries, shit ing the focus of its citizens to external threats to US interests, regardless of whether they are real or construed.h e US’ recent policy moves should force Russia to think seriously about the its policy toward China. h e US, which is known to defend its own interests in international relations, is now reluctant to talk with Russia on equal terms. So Russia and China should work more closely to coordi- nate their actions on the global stage to prevent international relations from returning to the era of power politics when the countries’ sovereignty was violated with impunity by the US.In today’s world, Russia-China strate- gic partnership acts like a political union for advancement of peace and prosperity in the world. Although this union is not dei ned by special agreement and doesn’thave a “military” prei x attached to it, the two countries do face some common political threats because of the deteriorat- ing international order.I am convinced that the use of mili- tary force worsens existing situations.So Russian-Chinese military exercises should not be more than an examina- tion of their respective potentials. h is is what any independent state should do to restore the international order.h e author is director of Institute of His- tory, Archaeology and Ethnography of the Peoples of the Far East, Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.迷你倉

San Antonio now a big player in booze
Source: San Antonio Express-NewsSept.迷你倉新蒲崗 07--On Wednesday, 12 people paid $1,500 each for probably a once-in-a-lifetime chance to taste a dram from one the rarest bottles of whisky on the planet: The Glenfiddich 50 Year Old Scotch Whisky, worth $25,000. It was one of only six bottles available in the U.S. this year.And that wasn't the only unique bottle at the dinner. The extraordinary tasting event at Bar 1919 in Southtown also featured dinner pairings by Feast executive chef Stefan Bowers to an all-star lineup of six single-malt whiskies; the youngest bottle was 15 years old.Even two years ago, a tasting of this caliber more likely would have been in Austin or Houston instead of here.Long known more for margaritas, beer and Tex-Mex than a cocktail culture, San Antonio bars were accustomed to playing second-fiddle to other Texas cities.Previously, when national liquor representatives visited Texas, they tended to schedule appointments in Houston or Dallas and lumped San Antonio into a Central Texas region based in Austin.But that has changed as the city's exposure has increased with events such as the San Antonio Cocktail Conference, which attracts bartenders from all over the country.Also, the city has attracted national and international media attention: the Wall Street Journal Weekend Edition featured The Granary 'Cue & Brew in its Food & Drink section; Esquire magazine's blog also gave The Granary some love and listed The Esquire Tavern in its list of America's Best Bars; Southern Living sang the praises of Southtown and its restaurants in a feature devote to the neighborhood; the U.K.'s The Guardian featured a top 10 list of San Antonio cafes and restaurants; Imbibe magazine, dubbed "the ultimate guide to liquid culture," featured several San Antonio bars in its first all-Texas issue this spring; and Bravo's "Top Chef: Texas" season shined a big spotlight on the city, too.And locally, there are more people appreciating the cocktail revolution and supporting the 10 craft bars that have opened in the past four years -- keeping pace with the booming culinary scene here.San Antonio now is a serious booze market, so serious that WB Liquors and Woodford Reserve are using it to test a new way to sell whiskey, which could become a model for the rest of the country. (Scotch whiskies are spelled "whisky" and all others are "whiskey.")"I think it really puts us on the map," Bar 1919 owner Don Marsh said of the dinner. "We're going to get recognition that San Antonio is a player in this (whisky) market as well."Brent Taylor, VP of marketing WB Liquors, couldn't agree more."I just think that (San Antonio is) a growing market. I think you're starting to see clearly set itself apart from Austin."The growing cocktail culture in San Antonio doesn't mean the city has forgotten its old friend, tequila, but it is appreciating better quality agave spirits.Juan Pablo De Loera is the Texas ambassador for Mexico-based Milagro Tequila, which won the two highest awards at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition -- a Double Gold medal and Best in Show across all white spirits. When De Loera was hired nearly two years ago, he was given the option to live anywhere in the state."One of the reasons I chose San Antonio was naturally, the relationship it has with Mexico both culturally and geographically. And, it's like a gateway between Mexico to Texas. It's just a natural market for tequila and whiskey because whiskey is very big in Mexico as well," he said.De Loera sees San Antonio maturing as families move here from Mexico and California and other states, attracted by a healthier Texas economy."I think this influx of people who are coming from areas where they have 'a more developed scene in food and beverage' (brings) a more discerning co迷你倉出租sumer. ... Even the local San Antonio consumer is understanding quality spirits better and quality foods and pairings."So San Antonio is seeing higher-profile liquor events.In fact, it was during a recent Woodford Reserve dinner at Bohanan's Steakhouse -- which hosts the San Antonio Cocktail Conference -- that Woodford master distiller Chris Morris divulged that San Antonio is its test market for a different approach to selling whiskey.Whereas most liquor stores organize brown spirits by categories such as Canadian whiskey, bourbon and Irish-blended whiskey, the test concept introduced in the past month at the WB Liquors at The Colonnade focuses on flavor profile instead. Brown-Forman Corp., which owns Woodford, approached Texas-based WB Liquors with the concept several months ago after researching customer patterns and determining that flavor profile is No. 1 in the decision-making process; brand is No. 4.WB Liquors' Taylor said he chose The Colonnade store for the test because its whiskey market still is growing. The whiskeys now are organized by flavored, light and gentle, flavorful and spicy, and full-bodied and robust.The system resembles a restaurant wine list, which is familiar for people; and most importantly, it's familiar to women, who increasingly are appreciating more whiskey."We're the only retailer (doing this) in the whole U.S.," Taylor said. Next, the company will test the concept at one of its stores in El Paso.Morris will be watching with interest."This is a great, great market, a growing market, Texas in general," he said.David Allardice, the Glenfiddich ambassador for the region including Texas, agrees.He found what he considers a hidden gem on his first visit to Bar 1919 at the Blue Star Arts Complex, which is what helped convince him to hold the Glenfiddich dinner in San Antonio."I thought, 'Wow, this is a proper, serious whisky drinkers' bar, a Scotch drinkers' bar.' And I got to talking to Don (Marsh, owner) and the guy's pretty passionate."Allardice thinks Bar 1919's brown spirits selection, which includes more than 100 single-malts from every region, could stand up against bars in any major city.In 2009, Scotland-based Glenfiddich picked two 50-year-old casks and bottled them together. From that, 50 bottles were to be released each year for the next 10 years. Six of those come to the United States each year, but most are purchased by private collectors.Allardice said he knows of only one other bar in his region with a bottle: Gigi's Asian Bistro in Houston's Galleria."They charge $1,500 for a dram," he said.Wednesday's event, a mix of paying guests and industry people, included not only a dram of the 50, but also samplings of Glenfiddich 21 Year Old, 30 Year Old, 1974 Vintage that's no longer available in the market, Cask of Dreams and a mystery bottle -- a 15 Year Old cask strength.The 12 paying guests were all men. Among them was a gentleman's club owner, a bank owner from Austin, and a former liquor store chain owner. At least three of the diners were from the far North Side and had no idea a bar with such an extensive whisky selection existed here.Mark Franklin, the former liquor store owner, and the only diner who offered his name for this article, drove in from Austin with his bank owner friend to attend the event."There are no tastings like this that I've been invited to in Austin," he said after the dinner.In case you're wondering, there's still some of the 50 Year Old whisky available at Bar 1919. A 1 \-ounce pour costs $1,500, and the bottle is being kept locked away in a very safe place.jmcinnis@express-news.netTwitter: @JenMcInnisCopyright: ___ (c)2013 San Antonio Express-News Visit the San Antonio Express-News at .mysanantonio.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉
