How the NSA betrayed the world’s trust — time to act | Mikko Hypponen

Posted by

Recent events have highlighted, underlined and bolded the fact that the United States is performing blanket surveillance on any foreigner whose data passes through an American entity — whether they are suspected of wrongdoing or not. This means that, essentially, every international user of the internet is being watched, says Mikko Hypponen. An important rant, wrapped with a plea: to find alternative solutions to using American companies for the world’s information needs.

Project Inspired By:

A friend in England in 2001 showed me the idea originally. I also found http://youtu.be/FNXmuakUi4M to help refresh my memory, and then made a few of my own changes to make the swan look better and more attractive. I got the inspiration for using seeds as eyes in this video: http://youtu.be/jg6sWO3z0BQ

Project History & More Info:

I remembered someone showing me how to make an apple into a swan while I was in England in 2001. I can’t remember who it was though, and I just remember that it was a nice try, and although the wings looked cool, and head and neck were terrible.

I really liked the idea though, so I spent an entire day cutting up apples in different ways to see if I could make it better.

I also saw a video online where someone used apple seeds to make eyes (http://youtu.be/jg6sWO3z0BQ) which was really awesome, so I tried to incorporate that in.

I ended up with this method for making the apple swan, which I think really looks incredible, and we ended up putting them on display for some dinner guests we had that night.
