In a very obvious PR stunt, two British spies supervised three employees of The Guardian, as they used angle grinders and a drill to destroy three laptops containing the files leaked to the news organization by Edward Snowden. Deputy editor for The Guardian Paul Johnson expressly told the government that the paper had numerous files overseas, and the destruction of these computers was pointless:

The journalist in question had no idea what he was in for.
You may, like us, have been rattled by the news that the NSA is pying on pretty much everyone in the world. If your paranoia has gotten a firm grip on you, you may well want to join the growing band of people who opt to go underground. But you need not necessarily lose your ability to surf the web. Check out how.
This might change your mind on whether you want to buy the Samsung or the iPhone.
