 The NSA can tap data in smart phones, including iPhones, Android, and 
BlackBerry</a>. While there is not much detail here, it seems that this does 
not operate via the universal back door that we know nearly all portable phones 
have. It may involve exploiting various bugs. There are <a

The Amazon Kindle has DRM</a>. That article is flawed in that it fails to treat 
DRM as an ethical question; it takes for granted that whatever Amazon might do 
to its users is legitimate. It refers to DRM as digital &ldquo;rights&rdquo; 
management, which is the spin term used to promote DRM. Nonetheless it serves 
as a reference for the facts.</p>
