Winamp is gone!: For those readers that have no clue as to what I am speaking of when I mention our first tech obituary, that of Winamp, let me explain. Winamp is a media viewing tool. Created by Justin Frankel in 1997, it was bought by AOL in 1999. According to the Winamp website, the program will not be available past December 20, 2013.
Just spying on Americans without their explicit permission, nothing much: Last issue, I said I would research the NSA's spying program. Actually, interestingly enough, some new news broke a short while ago in the shocking scandal. According to the Guardian, "US and UK struck secret deal to allow NSA to 'unmask' Briton's personal data".
Further into this article, they say that the British foreign minister from 2005 (Jack Straw) and the one in 2007 (Margaret Beckett) both declined to comment.
This marks this issue of Techtronix News. I'll be covering in the next issue, the history of computer worms, and of course, any news that breaks in the tech world.
Until next time,
Jack
