Duh? Show me exactly where I said it was wrong to make profit asshat. For the rest... look it up yourself or post some more stupid youtube videos on your blog.

The reason they didn't want this to begin with (i'm speculating here) is profit. They wanted to make people buy newer and more games. That didn't work, so now they have to pretend when they said it couldn't be done that they weren't lying.

You have zero evidence about any of the ridiculous claims you concocted. As for eloquence, I'd dare say Ellsberg is/was brilliant and eloquent, but my suspicion (since you misspelled Chelsea Mannings name) is that you probably spend too much time listening to Alex Jones/Info Wars, rather than thinking. You also ignore the fact about the Snowdens Field Time as a CIA agent in Europe, in a lame attempt to pretend he was no better than a Devry tech student who could never possibly have this level of information.

What is the exact narrative you think Snowden is spinning, which others like Ellsberg who have given public support for his whistle-blowing, as well as the other 4 post 9/11 NSA whistle blowers who have supported his position equally?
 

This is what Obama is doing though. Don't conflate the two wrongs.

If by smackdown they deserve, you mean: The phone company who we cannot sue, holds the metadata they'd been giving to the NSA prior to this. Now that is legally encoded in law, not an Act with a sunset clause. Not much changed... yet, except for making their collection mostly legal.

Here's hoping this is the necessary kick in the pants for Open Source hardware/software, that people need to protect us from the "protectors".

I played plenty of solo Minecraft. Theres a relaxing build element that consumes many hours.

He and the rest of the Wolfowitz disciples have a special warm place reserved for them.

The courts found the bulk collection as "justified" under section 215 as unconstitutional and wholly illegal. What Obama is trying to do is sidestep the illegality of the system and reauthorize it without listening to the judiciary branch. That is contemptuous. Nixon looks like a patriot compared to this bullshit.

They were a necessary evil to help production ramp up during a civil war, and to help extend the railroads. They had a legally limited charter to be dismantled immediately after their scope was completed. After the civil war, in the first year of the 16th Amendment had about 289 court cases around it. More than 90% were by corporations altering their charters and extending their powers.

There is almost nothing to trust about the service.

Even if you took every single liberty a man can possess away, there would still be a way to disrupt, and cause terror. But then again, anyone who works in security knows that to be the case since well before this all occurred. The fact they are knowingly selling the lie and propaganda is criminal.

Untrue. Watch the very first iPhone keynote. The endless claims about it running full OSX are presented in full force.

BSOD on a phone, tcp/ip stack corruption. Driveby downloads of toolbars. I can't wait to run combofix on some damn phone because the asshat decided he wanted to bit torrent the tenth installment of Transformers movies.

Pretty strong words for a coward. Are you worried about the consequences of what you said? I agree with you that they are no longer for the people.
