If you find your UDID on the list, contact Apple about it. If enough people complain, they will be forced to take some type of action. We need to let companies know that we don't like them being in bed with Federal Agents. The next question is, how in the hell is this information on agent's laptop?

That's still too nice; a 2600 with a copy of E.T. (I'm sure that one of the thousands in the landfill where they are buried will still work).

It depends on the store. I can go into Best Buy and Fry's and the majority of games are not locked up.

Itesh writes: Following an established trend, a Federal Trade Commission undercover shopper survey found that video game retailers continue to enforce most vigorously the ratings governing age and content that were established by the entertainment media industry. Music CD retailers lag far behind movie theaters, as well as movie DVD and video game retailers, in preventing unaccompanied children under age 17 from purchasing entertainment intended for mature audiences.

Submission + - Michigan Police Search Phones During Traffic Stops (thenewspaper.com)

chriscappuccio writes: The Michigan State Police have a high-tech mobile forensics device that can be used to extract information from cell phones belonging to motorists stopped for minor traffic violations. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan last Wednesday demanded that state officials stop stonewalling freedom of information requests for information on the program.

ACLU learned that the police had acquired the cell phone scanning devices and in August 2008 filed an official request for records on the program, including logs of how the devices were used. The state police responded by saying they would provide the information only in return for a payment of $544,680. The ACLU found the charge outrageous.

Now it's ready to go after those casual gaming dollars, but first it needs to put a gaming tablet in your hands. Gamestop President Tony Bartel told CNBC that his chain is going to start selling tablets later this year:
If we can work with our partners and the OEMs and they come up with a great tablet that is enabled with a great gaming experience and coupled with a bluetooth controller, then there's no need to go out and develop our own. But if we can't find one that's great for gaming, then we will create our own.
