Devises Radio Pathway Into Computers The only thing that's more disappointing than the NSA spying is the NYT sitting on this scoop for more than a year, and letting Der Spiegel break it. Only slightly less amazing is that Der Spiegel and Jacob Applebaum were talking about this more than two weeks ago, and the NYT diddled until now. Incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vILAlhwUgIU

I'm more disappointed that very few on HN seemes to have been paying attention.

I agree. It was also really bad timing. No news organization should break anything major between X-mas and New Years. People are offline...
