Comment Apple and Guns (Score 1) 311

It's the guns that are responsible for the shootings. Forget Constitutional rights, just ban them and problem solved.
It's the iPhones/Pads that are responsible for the spike in crime that makes me look bad as America's Mayor. Blame them, and the dead guy, and I'm in the clear. Without a doubt if there weren't all of these lovely iPhones and iPads all over the place criminals would stop stealing stuff altogether, so spake Mayor Bloomberg (S)*

*(S) = the Stupid Party affiliation.

Comment Get Over It Assange (Score 0) 192

Julian should just go, face Swedish justice (which I never hear as ever being particularly bad or unfair), do his time if guilty (I've never seen Swedish prisons on the world's worst list and it's hardly a life sentence that he's facing), and finally put all of this nonsense behind him. Assange tries to act like he is somehow above The Law and that rankles a lot of people just in and of itself.

It's a shame this announcement was necessary. A generation ago, it wouldn't have been required.

Now that it's been made perfectly clear, I'd like to see the next DC police officer who interferes with a citizen-photographer lose his job.

I'm not sure that a generation ago this clarification of rights wouldn't have been necessary. For a very long time the police have wanted to be in full control of the entire situation. And whether that includes shooting your dog because he barked, or stopping photography by anyone who isn't the press where there was already a too cozy relationship, this has gone on for far too long.
