uXDT relies on advertisers hiding ultrasounds in their ads. When the ad plays on a TV or radio, or some ad code runs on a mobile or computer, it emits ultrasounds that get picked up by the microphone of nearby laptops, desktops, tablets or smartphones.
These second-stage devices, who silently listen in the background, will interpret these ultrasounds, which contain hidden instructions, telling them to ping back to the advertiser's server with details about that device.
Advertisers use uXDT in order to link different devices to the same person and create better advertising profiles so to deliver better-targeted ads in the future.
FBI agents and prosecutors usually strut inside Santa Ana's Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse, knowing they've focused the wrath of the criminal-justice system on a particular criminal. But an unusual child-pornography-possession case has placed officials on the defensive for nearly 26 months. Questions linger about law-enforcement honesty, unconstitutional searches, underhanded use of informants and twisted logic. Given that a judge recently ruled against government demands to derail a defense lawyer's dogged inquiry into the mess, United States of America v. Mark A. Rettenmaier is likely to produce additional courthouse embarrassments in 2017.
Rettenmaier is a prominent Orange County physician and surgeon who had no idea that a Nov. 1, 2011, trip to a Mission Viejo Best Buy would jeopardize his freedom and eventually raise concerns about, at a minimum, FBI competency or, at worst, corruption. Unable to boot his HP Pavilion desktop computer, he sought the assistance of the store's Geek Squad. At the time, nobody knew the company's repair technicians routinely searched customers' devices for files that could earn them $500 windfalls as FBI informants. This case produced that national revelation.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was given his team's most prestigious award voted on by the players and staff who seem to have been moved by his protest against police brutality and killings of Black people by taking a knee during the playing of the U.S. national anthem ahead of NFL games.
The 49ers announced their team awards Friday where Kaepernick was the winner of the Len Eshmont Award, given to the teammate who "best exemplifies the inspirational and courageous play of Len Eshmont, an original member of the 1946 49ers team."
ESPN said the award is considered the most prestigious honor the players vote on. The award was established after Eshmont died in 1957.
All rumors that the NFL player was dividing his locker room by taking a knee to protest police brutality are now proven false.

"There is no serious person out there who would suggest that you could
even rig America's elections... There is no evidence that that has
happened in the past, or that there are instances that that could happen
this time... So I'd advise Mr. Trump to stop whining."
--Barack Obama, October, 2016

For the US is a world leader in the field of intervening in the internal affairs of other countries. The alleged interference is far more extensive than hacking into emails belonging to unfavoured political parties. According to research by political scientist Dov Levin, the US and the USSR/Russia together intervened no less than 117 times in foreign elections between 1946 and 2000, or "one out of every nine competitive, national-level executive elections".
Indeed, one cannot understand US-Russian relations today without acknowledging America's role in the internal affairs of its defeated cold war foe. As Stephen Cohen puts it, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the approach of US advisers "was nothing less than missionary - a virtual crusade to transform post-communist Russia into some facsimile of the American democratic and capitalist system".
As soon as Bill Clinton assumed the White House in 1993, his experts discussed "formulating a policy of American tutelage", including unabashed partisan support for President Boris Yeltsin. "Political missionaries and evangelists, usually called 'advisers', spread across Russia in the early and mid-1990s," notes Cohen: many were funded by the US government. Zbigniew Brzezinski, the former national security adviser, talked of Russia "increasingly passing into de facto western receivership".
The results were, to put it mildly, disastrous. Between 1990 and 1994, life expectancy for Russian men and women fell from 64 and 74 years respectively to 58 and 71 years. The surge in mortality was "beyond the peacetime experience of industrialised countries". While it was boom time for the new oligarchs, poverty and unemployment surged; prices were hiked dramatically; communities were devastated by deindustrialisation; and social protections were stripped away.

BY THE WAY, for those not clued in, James Clapper proveably lied to congress and now expects to be believed. He's a disgrace to the entire country.
The Man Claiming Russia Rigged The Election Is The Same Man Who Said The
NSA Wasn't Spying On Americans.
PUTIN: But that's none of my business.
