We are developing a secure camera application named ObscuraCam in partnership with Witness.org , the leading human rights video advocacy and training organization. This collaboration grew out of an open hackday at the 2010 Open Video Conference . We’ve recently pushed out our V1 release for testing that supports a limited set of features for face detection and obscuring in still photos. You can find the app in the Android Market or scan the QR code below, which will take you in that direction. For those without access to the Android Market, you can get the ObscuraCam.APK file from our public builds folder . The official signed release binary is also available here .

Private, encrypted chat for Google, Facebook, Jabber; with support for Tor! Gibberbot is a secure chat client capable of firewall and filter circumvention, surveillance blocking and end-to-end encryption. It works with Google, Facebook, any Jabber or XMPP server, such as OpenFire or eJabberD. Unlike Blackberry BBM’s broken single key security, Gibberbot uses the Off-the-Record encryption standard to enable true verifiable end-to-end encrypted communications.

To repeat what I said on Twitter , it’s somewhat pointless but a neat hack nonetheless – running a GSM base station from a CDMA handset. With minimal work it’s possible to get gnuradio and OpenBTS working on the ARMEL architecture used on the Droid, allowing my Droid to act as a base station to which handsets can connect; the Droid then connects calls using an on-board Asterisk server and routes them to the PSTN via SIP over Verizon’s 3G network. The quick version: I can provide voice and SMS connectivity to local GSM handsets using nothing but a Droid and a USRP. A quick log of what you’ll need to replicate this. This is from memory so I may have missed something; fortunately there’s an easier way that I’ll come back to. - Root the Droid and install Sholes Mod .

The San Jose Mercury News landed some leaked emails from Google CEO Larry Page, as well as other top Google executives, which show how important gathering location data is for its mobile plans. Last year, Motorola, one of Google's biggest mobile partners, was planning on using Skyhook Wireless's location data for its handsets over Google's location data. The Mercury News says that when Page read about Motorola's decision to use a " competitor's" location service -- we're guessing it was Skyhook -- he pasted the article in an email to top executives at Google and asked, " Can I get a response on this?" The Mercury News says "a detailed memo" was quickly sent back to Page, with Android boss Andy Rubin writing, location data from mobile phones was "extremely valuable to Google," because it was having trouble getting the data via its Street View cars. Google's Street View cars were busted for gathering data from unsecured wifi networks.

Le projet Replicant ou Android totalement libre présenté par PaulK - Framablog
« Android représente une étape majeure vers un téléphone portable libre qui soit contrôlé par l’utilisateur, mais il y a encore beaucoup de chemin à parcourir. Les hackers travaillent sur Replicant, mais c’est un gros travail de rendre un nouveau modèle compatible, et il reste encore le problème du micrologiciel. Même si les téléphones Android d’aujourd’hui sont considérablement moins mauvais que les smartphones d’Apple ou de Windows, on ne peut pas dire qu’ils respectent vos libertés. » Ainsi se termine l’article de Richard Stallman consacré à Android et la liberté des utilisateurs .
