Point granted, but for a while there was a definite effort to sweep the whole thing under the rug, so I'm mildly surprised we got this far. The media come through for a change on this one. Be nice if they would do that more often, especially with the shenanigans in Sacramento. Yeah, thanks, Action News 7, but I've seen enough stories about the local cat show for one lifetime. What fresh new hell of a law got passed today?

Geeks blaming Apple for the actions of local police officers isn't news, either, sadly.

Why isn't anyone outraged about this corporation's behavior?

So how long were you in that bunker cut off from all human media?

They are the 1984 Big Brother they warned you about in their ads.

I don't see Tim Cook being a big Ingsoc fan.

Look what happened in Fullerton, CA. Mentally ill homeless guy sitting on the curb, subdued according to witnesses. Four cops stand around him, one putting on gloves saying "We're going to fuck you up", then proceed to beat him to death as he screamed for his mother. It is impossible to listen to the audio all the way through. Oh, these cops used a taser, too. One bashed the homeless guy repeatedly with the handle.

All on video, fortunately, with two of the cops pending trial and possible charges against the others.

Not happening fast enough, though. I don't even watch a lot of stuff, but I need basic satellite with Tivo, iTunes, and Netflix streaming with 1 DVD out at a time to watch what I want when I want it. If someone could get everything into one account and one interface and 100% streamed I'd be ecstatic.
