AGerman company developed a new online
game, called PRISM, that posts news and
press pieces in a fun way.
Marcus Bush, a journalist, computer game
expert, and founder of the Good Evil, the
company that produced the news game,
explained that the idea of the game re-
volves around, “helping the National Secu
-
rity Agency ( NSA)”. The game protagonist,
the blue man, plays the role of a US agent
who “flies into the Internet”, trying to copy as
many personal pictures as possible of Inter-
net users.
It is worth mentioning that PRISM is the
name of NSA’s controversial electronic sur
-
veillance program.
This game falls under the category of news
games, a type of computer games that offer
updated information on the latest develop-
ments and events. Bush believes that such
games will be a form of writing used by jour-
nalists in the future.
Reports indicated that the late
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs,
who died in 2011, will appear
on a postage stamp.
The commemorative US post
-
age stamp, currently under
design is expected to appear
in 2015 according to the US
Postal Service’s list of ap
-
proved postage-stamp sub-
jects obtained by the Washington Post.
But a USPS spokesman said that the
list is still subject to change.

Outraged by new revelations about
the government’s Internet surveil-
lance programs, Facebook CEO
Mark Zuckerberg said that he tele
-
phoned President Barack Obama
personally to complain about that.
Zuckerberg’s complaint on his
Facebook account came
on the heels of a news
report that said the
National Security
Agency (NSA)
has developed
a computer
program that
infects per-
sonal com-
puters with
spyware by mimicking the actions of
Facebook pages.
In a post on his own Facebook ac-
count, Zuckerberg wrote that he
is “confused and frustrated” by the
recent cascade of revelations about
government surveillance. He added
that “when our engineers work tire-
lessly to improve security, we imag-
ine we’re protecting you against
criminals, not our own government.”
“I’ve called President Obama to ex
-
press my frustration over the dam-
age the government is creating for
all of our future,” he added. “Unfor

tunately, it like it will take a very long
time to for true full reform,” Zucker
