I expect the fertility rate in the US to rise due to the following:

  • * Lack of contraception (I expect SCOTUS to reverse Griswold)
  • * Increased child mortality due to lower vaccination rates, and epidemics of "eliminated" childhood diseases
  • * Lack of education as more school boards are taken over by religious fundamentalists.

About 10(?) years ago, I was at a Gabriel Iglesias show at PHX (known at the time as Talking Stick) Arena.

He had literally just asked everyone in the arena to turn off their cell phones, when every single phone in the arena went off... Amber Alert. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen.

The large record labels appear to put some kind of copy protection or something on the discs to where they can no longer claim to be a "compact disc" as that is a trademark or something, if they don't follow the "red book" then they can't use the trademarks.

Google for "Sony rootkit fiasco". Basically, Phillips (cocreator of the CD... with SONY!?!) hit them with a suit for trademark infringement.
