A carrier blocking any phone that is not sim-locked and is technologically compatible with the cellular network? Is that even legal? This sounds preposterous, but I live in Europe...

Submission + - Sheryl Crow, Carl Rove, and global warming
teeto writes: "Monsters and Critics is reporting that Republican strategist and often referred to as the brain behind the Bush throne, Karl Rove, had a run-in with Sheryl Crow and Laurie David, at the Correspondents' dinner. When the songstress was introduced to Rove, she asked him about Global warming issues, and according to Crow and David on their posted Huffington Blog, "he immediately got combative. And it went downhill from there.""
Submission + - Is America going fascist?
Random BedHead Ed writes: "The Guardian this week has a call to arms, examining the ten steps to fascism and proposing that America is quietly taking virtually all of them. It's not as much of a partisan concern as you might think: many conservative groups have joined forces under a new organization called the American Freedom Agenda, which along with the ACLU and Center for Constitutional Rights has been fighting to put pressure on the federal government to pull the country away from what they see as a slippery slope. From the article: "As Americans turn away quite leisurely, keeping tuned to internet shopping and American Idol, the foundations of democracy are being fatally corroded. Something has changed profoundly that weakens us unprecedentedly: our democratic traditions, independent judiciary and free press do their work today in a context in which we are "at war" in a "long war" — a war without end, on a battlefield described as the globe, in a context that gives the president — without US citizens realising it yet — the power over US citizens of freedom or long solitary incarceration, on his say-so alone.""
