What's Been and What's Ben

AT&T sucks: they are blocking the website 4chan.org which hosts picture-based message boards, which is where lolcats started damn it! The series of tubes that is the internet is under siege like in that movie. What was it? Undersiege 3?

Amazon sucks: The portable book made by amazon called the Kindle banned the book 1984 – without giggling or crying. Technically the remotely removed everybody’s copy of 1984 who had bought it and then credited them 10 dollars back. This ensured that I will not buy one of their product. Amazon did buy zappos.com too.

Apple/Foxconn suck: Due to the secrecy involved in ensuring that nobody knows what colors the latest line of iPods are to create false suspense in an idiot user/fan base someone has been physically interrogated and forced into suicide. Foxconn actually makes apple products. Foxconn enforces Apples inexplicably tight security arrangement. A man does steal some iPhones. He is harshly interrogated and kills himself – according to foxconn, the only source of info on this. So to keep secret the minor updates from iPhone 3G to 3GS (a compass and a faster processor) a man was forced into suicide. This info was so available online that I have sources that told me about the processor upgrade. At the end of the day did you think a team of Swiss craftsmen were making your gizmos and gadgets. Apple also doesn’t have blu-ray drives on its computers.
