EFF: No Broadcast Flag No Watermarks

Thursday, September 21
Burgers and cupcakes and phones, oh my

So, I got a new phone today - the T-Mobile Vario 2 (aka the HTC Hermes/TyTn, the XDA Trion, or the Orange SPV M3100 amongst other monikers). Unboxing pics coming soon! :D

Why did I switch away from O2 (with whom I got my first HTC device, the HTC Alpine)? Well, that's a REALLY long story, and one which will make you wince at least once, and I'll be telling that to the world in the near future on this blog.

And now, the news.

So, as I note the discovery of New York's very own Burgers & Cupcakes restaurant (if you ever say to me you don't want to go eat there, you're officially WEIRD!), I also note that both Zimbabwean businesses and individuals alike are suffering the misfortune of not being able to access the Internet, let alone peruse the Burgers and Cupcakes web site (or check out the menu!) because the Zimbabwean government hasn't paid the ($700,000!) fee for outstanding bandwidth bills.

Oops.

I read something quite sad today, that the US Government is seeking to deport an 84-year-old woman who once played an (exceedingly) minor part in the Nazi atrocities. She was hired as a guard for one of the concentration camps, and as she put it, 'only because it paid better than the local factory where she worked beforehand.'

The fact she married a German Jew, has a prepaid tombstone with the Star of David on it and has made numerous donations to Jewish charities throughout the years doesn't count - 'anyone who participated in Nazi atrocities must be tried in immigration court and expelled.'

Read the original article on the San José Mercury News web site... Should she really be deported? Hardly. Yet another classic example of far-overreaching political correctness gone mad.
