Using the latest techniques in reverse-auditory-melodic-unstickification technology, we’ve been able to allow our users to “unhear” songs by hearing equally catchy songs. So all we’re doing is making you forget your old song by replacing it with another one… sorry.

Just so we’re all clear: In the middle of Google and Verizon’s post on net neutrality they completely exclude themselves from any of the rules they’ve just set forth.

Wireless connections (ie, Verizon) do not have to be open at all because they’re “different” from wired connections:

We both recognize that wireless broadband is different from the traditional wireline world […] under this proposal we would not now apply most of the wireline principles to wireless.

If you disagree with this quote then you officially care more about your ridiculous and intolerant beliefs than this nation. Don’t ever have the nerve to call me un-American ever again when you want to go against the Constitution solely for your own comfort:

This nation was founded on the principle that the government must never choose between religions or favor one over another. The World Trade Center site will forever hold a special place in our city, in our hearts. But we would be untrue to the best part of ourselves and who we are as New Yorkers and Americans if we said no to a mosque in lower Manhattan.

So there we have it once again. An outfit that targets copyright infringers is actively infringing copyright themselves. They are so incompetent and probably blinded by the dollar signs in their eyes, that they can’t even put a website together without breaking the law themselves – copyright law.

I’m sure they had someone make a website for them, but with only a handful of copyright groups its hard to believe they didn’t know they were ripping off someone else’s design.

It’s such a pity Fox News left out that Steve Jobs won’t let us have porn on our phones, or that shopping at an Apple Store is like traveling to Mecca.

In a research paper published this month by two professors at Texas A&M University, the authors argue that the only way to understand the slavish adoration and over-the top financial success of Apple and its “Jesus Phone” (the iPhone) is to understand its minimalist, white-walled stores as the new churches of the tech generation.

Every purported benefit of UltraViolet needs to be run through a strong bullshit filter, as if it were a Bush-era law, like “No Child Left Behind” or the “PATRIOT Act”, that’s named in a way that sounds like it accomplishes the opposite of what it really does. UltraViolet is not about being “flexible”, it’s about being locked down. It’s not “freeing” users, it’s controlling us. And it almost certainly won’t be used to give us more abilities overall.

Amen.
