Establishing drug legislative policy requires a joint effort between the states and the federal government, especially when reefering to marijuana, instead of this state-by-state grass roots effort. It’s high time that they hashed these problems out. Still, it's nice to see that Eric Holder is willing to be blunt about this issue instead of just blowing smoke. He understands that we'ed all be better off with this decision.

cogeek is absolutely correct. Car and guns are both responsible for tens of thousands of deaths every year, and they should be treated similarly. Because they are inherently dangerous, cars should require a license to own and operate. Same for guns. To get that license, you should be required to take a safety course to demonstrate that you understand the risks of using a car, and know how to use one safely. Same for guns. The sale of cars should be regulated, with titles of ownership that would require a notary witness to transfer ownership to another person. Same for guns. Cars should require a key to operate them, so some random person can't walk up and steal your car, or use your car without you knowing about it. Same with guns. And people should not leave their keys in their car locks when not in use. Same with guns.

Cars and guns should both be legal, but reasonably regulated to minimize deaths caused by their use.

I'm glad we see eye to eye on this issue cogeek.

BTW, I am a car owner, and a gun owner.

Roku Finally Gets a 2D Menu System 80

DeviceGuru writes "Many of us have griped for years about Roku's retro one-dimensional user interface. Finally, in conjunction with the release of the new Roku 3 model, the Linux-based media streaming player is getting a two-dimensional facelift, making it quicker and easier to access favorite channels and find new ones. Current Roku users, who will now begin suffering from UI-envy, will be glad to learn that Roku plans to push out a firmware update next month to many earlier models, including the Roku LT, Roku HD (model 2500R), Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2 XS, and Roku Streaming Stick. A short demo of the new 2D Roku menu system is available in this YouTube video."

Microsoft needs to succeed in the smartphone market, so it's essential that they emphasize the phone capabilities in their product names. With this in mind, the GUI name should be:

"Phone Phone Phone Phone Phone Phone Phone Windows 8 Phone Phone Outlook XBox Phone Phone Phone Bing Phone Phone GUI and Phone."

Lovely Phone. Wonderful Phone.
