![]() ![]() Howley goes into how we learned that American John Walker Lindh had become a member of the Taliban as well as about the disturbing mechanics of the enhanced interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, who eventually admitted to being involved with the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. The book looks, with welcome skepticism, at the so-called victories gained through surveillance and cyber snooping. Howley reminds us of what a CIA director once said: “We kill people based on meta data and they are often the wrong people.” Surveillance aids and abets the creation of elaborate untruths. But, as the book progresses, a darker and more alarming picture emerges of how our government is acting on what it learns from the “cloud.” Data and statistics are being used for destructive purposes, often based on self-interested judgments and manipulated versions of people and events. The reassuring side of data, at least what’s told to the public, is that it is being used to monitor global communications for the sake of maintaining Homeland Security. And a fecund nursery for conspiracy theories. Are there any restrictions? On anyone? In capitalist America, the endlessly expanding “cloud” of statistics and technical information sucked up from a trusting public is nothing if not profitable - a supersonic boost for marketing efficiency. ![]() Howley underlines a simple reality: “Surveillance is made of us.” Of course, that raises the question of who is using that data and for what reasons. Our complex webs of social relationships, buying habits, and communications are translated into data. Cloud storage is a clearinghouse for everything from uploaded research and analysis to personal memories. She reminds us that, “More data has been created and stored since the year 2000 than in the entire previous course of humanity.” Digital ones and zeros archive everything. Kerry Howley’s new book begins with a survey of the surveillance state and digs into the consequences that inevitably follow from a world consumed by storing, using, and manipulating data. Kerry Howley’s exposé is a vibrant report on the chaotic and often disquieting world of surveillance and national security.īottoms Up and the Devil Laughs: A Journey Through the Deep State by Kerry Howley. ![]() ![]() DejaOffice is one of the few Mobile CRM options that use data based locally on your phone, not a web app, so it runs great even when your phone is in Airplane mode. ![]() Through steady updates, DejaOffice has become a rounded CRM product incorporating many special features unique to distinct PC platforms.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps Easter Eggs But in case you missed it, here’s the list of Easter Eggs in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. If you already played the game, I bet you already met an Easter egg in the game. Ori and the Will of the Wisps didn’t waste this opportunity to lure more players, and at the same time, give the fan base the enjoyment that they wanted. It trips over its complexity at times, and really doesn't need so much combat, but it's gorgeous, funny, and the triple-jumping could go on forever without getting old.Easter eggs are one of the most amazing features that many players have been enjoying almost every game nowadays. I prefer Ori and the Blind Forest for its compactness and simplicity, but Ori and the Will of the Wisps is also worth playing to the end. And at least the boss stages are no less beautiful than the rest of the game-and also full of bitter-sweetness. Hunting down energy and life cells throughout the world also makes things easier, so that if a boss is frustrating, at least you can go away and improve the math in your favor. Take the whole thing at a relaxed pace, though, and you'll collect lots of spirit money with which to upgrade Ori's abilities, reducing incoming damage and increasing outgoing damage. The escape sequences at least rely on the unbroken chaining of forward motion that makes Ori feel great, whereas the fights have you leaping around enclosed spaces trying to get sword whacks and ranged attacks in when you can. There are multi-stage boss fights, too-the kind with a big life bar that you have to chip away at-and they can also be frustrating. It also relaxes the pace a little, which helps counterbalance the frustrating bits. I found growing their little town and taking on their little tasks-like acquiring a hat for one and some soup for another-to be genuinely motivating. Not quite as cute but also fun are the Moki, creatures that look a bit like meerkats and pop out of the scenery to comment on Ori's journey, offer advice, and ask for help. Moki and other characters congregate in a growing village as Ori restores the forest, and little sidequests can be done to help them out. Ori is joined for a brief section by Ku, an owlet who hatches at the end of the last game, and whose curious and sad eyes are just so goddamn cute I almost resent them for manipulating me. ![]() Like Ori and the Blind Forest, Will of the Wisps is on a mission to pull both delighted and sad awws out of even the most determined grumps-and it does a better job of it. The characters and their stories kept me going as well. From the swamps to the mountains and the obligatory water level, they're all stunning-full of light and air and life. I wish I could pluck some of the landscapes out Will of the Wisps and frame them, looping animations included. They don't play much with momentum-for the most part, you just go in one magic blue hole and out another-and the most complicated it gets is a tedious puzzle in which you have to methodically guide a projectile between portal pairs.Įven the bits that are only so-so feel great to clear, though-like flawlessly running through an ultra-hard Guitar Hero song.Īside from that good feeling, the reward for platforming victory doesn't have to be anything more than seeing what's next. The bits that take after Portal, meanwhile, are a little disappointing. ![]() Diving into sand pits and bouncing around like a pinball before shooting back out like a Dune worm is brilliant. With 10 unique areas, there are a ton of special movement abilities and puzzle types, some more successful than others. There are plenty of places to stop and rest, but you rarely have to give up any speed if you don't want to. You can freeze time when you're next to a projectile and then launch it and yourself in opposite directions, bouncing between glowing bullets as if you're ricocheting off of them. You can launch glowing energy rope at hooks and sling yourself into the air, chaining grapples like Spider-Man. The basic jumping, double-jumping, and dashing is precise and satisfying, just like it was in Ori and the Blind Forest, and the abilities that made that game so fun are back. You can't always skip combat, but when you can I bet you will, because it's so much more fun to zip through the air. ![]() (Image credit: Moon Studios/Microsoft) The run is mightier. ![]() |
