-- guys welcome to the best of buzz out loud our weekly -- them everything. That happens here. And -- live podcast show now first of in this week's episode Blackberry is helping police with the Blackberry messenger probe in the role with organized in the UK rats. Plus the British prime minister is considering turning off social networks amid further rats which. We know how that goes that's not a good idea plus Chinese smugglers use this epic. Rambo style zip line to smuggle -- pads and transport iphones and finally power companies prepare. As solar storms are set to hit earth so sit back and enjoy the best of buzz -- The London riots continue. To go -- there is rather has been writing in London after. A young man was killed. By police yet during a tab tab pull over right and his -- -- This uprising -- a little bit. I don't wanna say eighteen Hanks but it seems like it's a lot of the disenfranchised. Use or frustrated use out of specifically taking part. In these riots and really destroying their city which makes absolute sense. Yet that I know that's the frustrating thing right is it always it's always an expression of relatively legitimate anger there's like -- their socioeconomic issues happening in this Tottenham. Region. But yet it's it has become as -- so often does unfortunately just wanton. Destruction. Across London burning and you know I mean it's just a it's a disaster at -- blown riot. And what's really interesting is -- the police had been trying to figure out why because obviously. In this day named whenever there's some kind of mass. Movement like this in the instinct is okay what's happening on social media. And what they found was that on the usual suspect places like FaceBook and Twitter. You're mainly they were mainly does seem like reporting or pictures of what was going on -- -- of -- kind of -- group gathering. Of things that we're going on a huge their -- -- there's video now actually the -- just pulled up a huge fired at -- distribution center in and field spread way beyond Tottenham. And it's now apparently color relates to a news -- running copycat. Try -- vandalism happening around the country -- totally fascinating is that it appeared to have been coordinated in large part. Over Blackberry messenger. Surprisingly I had no idea that it was apparently the Blackberry is used by 37%. Of of -- London youth it's the favored method of communication. -- you -- rim still has a market that's alive -- currently thriving now on -- own Blackberry blog they were recently hacked. After reports that Blackberry or rim would be cooperating with police. Over the riots. And -- based on requests from the police they will be providing them with information they didn't get into specifics of what exactly but they're trying to find the source of the problem. Who these organizes were what messages were sent in those areas and the problem with that is personal their blog was hacked because. On -- because they aren't happy about that Blackberry working with the police in that manner but at the same time if you're in that area. And you may have been -- -- or not even partaking in any of these rights and you sent a message -- -- Francine I need to get out of here. That there's a record of that there's a log of that. And some of misinformation if the police are just looking to sweep and find whoever was part is they -- in that area know -- brazenly turned over that's. Are -- laws against is giving up that private information in it you know been taken in by the police because of that. A adding Blackberry and -- like rim unfortunately -- be compelled legally to send in at least according to some of these stories can be compelled to send turn over a lot. Because they think that you know they might be able to find people who. Who were inciting this behavior. But -- it. It as usual it you know it is -- is the worst possible thing that can happen or am right now because. They have a legal obligation to turn over some information. There's no question that there are probably people who are messaging especially that many people use it and there are probably people were messaging things like oh we -- -- for -- who were not participating. And so that and that is like a nightmare in terms of privacy and potential false accusations. And man you know that rim right now just like really really that we do not need it for you not need this. But yeah I mean as far as I understand. The authorities have the right to ask for this information but it. It's a bad -- there. Is what it is it's a bad team as bad timing for rim but apparently as of right now and their web site is offline. They had like. Digg because they've been hacked without blog post now the entire -- blog apparently has been taken off line. -- somewhere right now over 500 people have been brought in a custody there their local facilities are being filled. So much because -- right to -- transferring them another place I mean it's it's getting ugly like we said there's copy -- Criminal vandalism that's happening in writing in other areas now. But -- the tackling is -- surprisingly enough you know did there was also mentioned some the articles of Howell. Authorities were -- an upset that people were posting misinformation. And about the rights on FaceBook and -- now Blackberry with the mean vehicle that was used to. Allegedly organized so -- -- yet -- needed. But FaceBook and Twitter. They were looking to seek out users who are posting information about the rights that might have been inaccurate as well gee that's a site that's that's that's -- -- -- and a -- you know. Is that when you have things like this. Facts are always kind of lost in the shuffle and there's different streams of information -- but if you're going after people another posting on FaceBook and Twitter and that happens you miss information about it. And -- click go looking to target them as well. Gimme a break and -- your just gonna make -- -- more angry. -- later inability to understand their needs and desires. -- Chinese smugglers. And -- you -- zip planes only Lolita goes zip line in and colliding go to zip lining in. A lot of exotic places as well as the planet and -- narrow mandate they detrimental am I cellular user's zip line to get Apple goods. In two there -- country. So what they did is they this is the most amazing part -- -- across international borders right they moved them from the board of Hong Kong into Shenzhen. And a lot -- you know international taxes and trade fees they have to. Pay when you transfer goods they use the zip line but even better to attach it they shot the line with a crossbow. -- POP3 yes cross post straight out our Rambo. Straight out our Rambo which attacks the zip line and then using these sandbags or sacks they transfered like I pads or something over likes. 40000 dollars worth of ipads and iphones it. -- and value of just out one drop was 46583. Dollars. And -- that they were key as part of a major surveillance operations and it's hard to say how long -- may have opera I answer that's awesome since that time there's the story. About those guys are -- hugely turban shaped like catapults you -- -- An idea. Camera idea does also may be -- you'd read data point but this is a zip line aren't -- more than 300 yards long shot by a freaking crossbow. The crossbow.
