Like it's not insane enough that ISIS is threatening to take over Rome, but now they're threatening Zuckerburg? How far is it going to go?

What I don't understand about hacking the Nissan Leaf is that it happens even with the car off?Doesn't that mean that it would need 24/7 connectivity?

Very cool that now you can dictate your work into Google Docs. Will have to try it!

Still trying to find out a way to buy a Windows Phone. Don't think the Lumia 630 is it though!

I don't see why Isis is mad that Facebook and Twitter are taking down accounts that belong to Terrorists. It should be obvious that things like that are going to happen.

I think Isis want's to get attention. And i think the new phone is nice.

i don't understand why isis is mad at Facebook and twitter why would they let them use there programs if they are doing bad things with them.

Isis has been threatening the founder of Facebook and the founder of twitter due to the fact they are trying to take down the accounts of people who are affiliated with any kind of terrorism. Isis made a 25 minute video of the two founders and in once picture both men have bullet holes in their head. They hope this will come to end soon.

I'm starting to not like the idea of connected cars anymore. It seems too risky and dangerous. The nissan car app doesn't even require any authentication anybody could easily hack a car like that. Now NissanConnect is offline i hope they find a way to fix it because the idea is cool but it does seem a little dangerous.

FUCK ISIS

I don't think Isis should be mad at any social media that takes down accounts that belong to terrorist.

Unknown said...

I certainly wouldn't call this shocking (it SHOULD be), however this is some scary stuff simply due to the apparent lack of effort or insight at all on Nissan's part.

I find it scary and brutal that ISIS is targeting Facebook Founder Mark Z. and Twitter founder Jack D., the only reason why their acting upon them is because terrorist activity has been reported and suspended by them. I find it wrong that they want to attack them, it's not fair when all they're trying to do is help even if it's something little like suspending accounts having to do with terrorism.
