Veteran Journalist Slams Jim Paredes for Malicious Tweets on SAF 44

Veteran journalist and columnist of The Manila Standard Jojo Robles hits hard on Pro-Yellow defender and one of the detractors of Pres. Duterte, musician Jim Paredes when the APO member insinuated on Twitter that Pres. Rody Duterte ordered the reopening of the Mamasapano case to make the public forget about the killing of South Korean businessman Ick Joo.

Jim Paredes posted on Twitter the following statement "Is Digong meeting Mamasapano families so we forget the strangled Korean and Palpak Bato? The statement of Paredes caught the attention of Jojo Robles and responded on Facebook by stating that "You'd have to be stupid or really Yello (or stupid AND Yello) to believe that."

According to Jojo Robles on his Facebook Page, Pres. Rody Duterte has been questioning the Mamasapano tragedy long before the former Davao City Mayor assumed the presidency and made a promise during the election campaign period to help the kin of the SAF 44 troopers get justice.

Pres. Rody Duterte made the revelations of re-opening the Mamasapano case on the eve of the second anniversary of the massacre, the first under Duterte admin. The President issued the directive before the relatives of he Fallen SAF 44 victims.

Jojo Robles explained that Pres. Rody Duterte has been questioning the conduct of Oplan Exodus which has the go-signal of former President Aquino. He also promised during the campaign period that once elected as President he will reopen the case and give the Medla of Valor o all of the slain troopers.

Here's the Complete Statement of Jojo Robles:

Is the president's call for a revisiting of the Mamasapano Massacre a diversionary ploy, to make us forget the killing of a South Korean businessman? You'd have to be stupid or really Yellow (or stupid AND Yellow) to believe that. Consider:

Duterte made the revelation on the eve of the second anniversary of the massacre, the first marked during his presidency. He issued the directive before the relatives of the SAF 44. Did Duterte choose the date of the massacre? I don't think so.

Duterte has been questioning the conduct of Oplan Exodus long before he was president. As a candidate, he promised to reopen it and to give the Medal of Valor to all the slain troopers during the campaign. That's exactly what he did yesterday.

Was the declaration just pulled out of a hat, because of the Korean's killing? Only if you took some powerful drugs a long time ago which are still taking effect today, when you are no longer a member of the Apo Hiking Society.

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President. The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
