"The primary reason cited by the Librarian is, there are an increasing number of phones you can buy that come unlocked. Apple and its carrier partners sell the iPhone 5 unlocked, for example. Google’s Nexus 4 also comes unlocked. T-Mobile has plans to offer more of its phones unlocked. And retailers like Best Buy offer all sorts of unlocked phones. In short, the Librarian decided that there’s no reason to alter the DMCA to allow people to unlock any phone since people can easily buy an unlocked phone nowadays, if they choose to do so."
Now that it's "illegal" one wonders how long unlocked phones will continue to be offered, otherwise why make it illegal?
I love how they keep calling them smart "phones", it's really a tracking device with facial recognition, vocal recognition, finger print recognition, your bank info, GPS, and has a "phone" included. (primarily for a constant data connection for the aforementioned attributes) It reminds me of the vases with clocks in them. "and it has a clock!!!"
What about those of us that do not want to participate in these things? At what point will it become awkward to say state I don't use Facebook, or will it just become some terrible social stigma::whisper::"He doesn't have a social account.."::/whisper::
So you want to live in a country where people are forced to get vaccinations for the flu, even though the vaccine might not even be effective depending on what you catch.
You understand that flu shots target a narrow band prediction of the virus, it isn't good for every flu out there, so they could have all had a flu shot and still gotten sick.
I agree with you, the problem is that agency like that don't stay the same size they either grow or die off, and the TSA is growing and expanding "VIPR". So there you go.
I'm pretty sure they are there for the harassing, psychological acclimation to oppression, I don't think there are any terrorist other than the corporations.
Neither one of those men are in *control* of what's going on, they are merely facilitators.
And that above comment will one day be illegal and retroactively punishable so that when I get that jay walking ticket in 2035 they will review my comments history and try me for that as well.
I'm reminded of a Fight Club scene "Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo. "
What better way to take a voice sample to go along with your facial data, geographic data, political leanings, buying habits and what ever other banalities people they need to "share".

There are way to many stupid people in the World, and I would love to see you go "black-ops apeshit" on congress too.

Phones indeed...
What part of "Beijing-based startup" makes you think you should be pumping your account info into this, or running it at all for that matter.

Apparently not.
Disguised as a VOIP feature it is the surest way to confirm who owns that Facebook page and get a sample of your voice as well.
Why?
I'll pay $1000 to slap him silly.
And a pervasive climate of fear.
Deathstar.

"On October 20, 2009, it was reported that Walden was the first Member of Congress to contract the H1N1-A (Swine Flu) Virus.[8]"
Oddly appropriate.
You useless wankers hold your hand in front of your mouth ffs.
I wonder if you get stuck with a toxic clean up bill as well.
That's the most unrealistic assessment I've seen yet, Obama isn't our friend he is just another in a long line of front men.

How do we change it?
Something very bad and very big is going to happen soon, I can feel it in my bone.
"allow TSA to provide focused resources and tools to enhance the overall security posture within the surface transportation community"
Just wow...we spent a trillion dollars on this shit.
