Is President Obama already watching the next episode of True Detective? Does he already know how Homeland ends? What about Sons of Anarchy? An interesting but entirely speculative article published in the L.A. Times suggests that, yes, the leader of the free world has early access to episodes of popular TV shows that mere voting mortals like you and I cannot yet see.

In a major speech Friday morning, President Obama scaled back the NSA’s surveillance operations and redefines how we collect intelligence overseas. In brief, he ordered the end of the bulk telephony metadata program (in its current from) and spying on foreign leaders. Beyond that, though, the future remains murky.

Poor old Barack Obama. Not only is his pet project HealthCare.gov struggling to gain traction
| |
The "tech surge" that President Obama promised to fix the very broken HealthCare.gov portal just got a lot more tech-savvy. According to Bloomberg, companies like Google, Oracle and Red Hat are now swooping in to lead the recovery effort. But is it enough?

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s been kind of a rough year in Washington. And it’s especially rough for one guy in particular. Freshly inaugurated and Instagram-friendly, President Obama promised a new, tech-savvy future for America. The latest cover of Bloomberg Businessweek pretty much sums up how that’s working out.

In just latest of many head-turning exploits, the Syrian Electronic Army now says it’s broken into Barack Obama’s Twitter account and website. Indeed, the hacker organization showed images of the website’s backend and Obama campaign email accounts.

For the past few years, the government’s been relentless about making the American people respect the importance of cybersecurity. Obama’s given speeches, written newspaper columns, and issued executive orders to drive that point home. This is serious business! So why are the Army’s own instructional videos so silly?
