The whole raison d'être of the Nintendo Switch and its success is the ability to seamlessly switch from portable console on the move to big screen in your living room.
No, lets face it. The Switch was intended from the start to be Nintendo's way of gracefully exiting the console market while still saving face. The dock was always an afterthought. Nintendo gave up trying to keep up with Sony and MS a long time ago, and the Switch is just their transitional device. It was never intended as a successor to their console line. It's a successor to the 3DS. This is just them wisely focusing on their real strength: the handheld market.
Yeah, the conspicuous absence of any U.S. intelligence (or anything else embarrassing to the U.S,) on this "leaks" site screams CIA/NSA operation to me. They had may as well put their logos on the home page.
People start rioting at even 20% unemployment. And that 25% of jobs displaced would produce WAY more than 20% unemployment, and would also disproportionately affect working-class jobs (you know, the people who have the least to lose by rioting).
Actually, I've loved him all along. Both Republican and Democratic leaders need a gadfly who speaks truth to power. Engaging in corrupt, slimy shit that politicians want to keep secret is one of the few bi-partisan activities that everyone participates in in D.C., and guys like Assange should be there to call them on it.
The CIA was looking to character assassinate him by any means necessary. First they sent in a CIA plant (Daniel Domscheit-Berg) to undermine Wikileaks from the inside and to advance to the narrative that Assange was just a selfish narcissist. And then they set up a blatantly obvious honeypot operation in Sweden to implicate him as a rapist too. It's the same shit they pulled on Dominique Strauss-Kahn when he was foolish enough to challenge the supremacy of the U.S. dollar (and that they've pulled on many others too).
Now is the part where you call me a conspiracy theorist, just like all the people who have been called nuts for daring to suggest that this whole Sweden/UK fiasco was just theatre to to get Assange extradited to the U.S. all along. But it's not really a conspiracy theory when they're really out to get you, is it?
At the start, Assange had this idea of Wikileaks being a truly neutral repository of information. That idea had real merit, and still does. It went to crap from there.
That's the bullshit narrative that Daniel Domscheit-Berg has peddled. And I guarantee you that's it's going to come out one day that he was a CIA plant. Mark my words.
Yeah, it's always easy to hear the truth when the truth is what you want it to be. When its not what you want it to be, it's a lot tougher to swallow.
Partisans always love to hear any evidence that their people are good and their enemies are bad. But any suggestion that their people are, or even can be, bad too is seen as blasphemy.
America talks big about whistleblowers, but when it comes right down to it, our government is just as petty and vindictive as any dictatorship.
I once heard a lawyer who put it best (and I'm heavily paraphrasing here): "Nobody ever thanks a whistleblower. At best they might have a movie made about them or have someone praise them in an op-ed. But even then, long after all the positive press has stopped, they've still lost their job and been permanently black-balled in their field. And there will always be people who will resent and hate them for what they did. They'll always be looking over their shoulders, looking for work in a world where no one wants to hire them, and probably wishing they had just kept their mouth shut. And that's the best case scenario. Worst case, they end up dead or in prison."
Nonsense. It will be a fair process. He'll be allowed to have a secret lawyer who will not be allowed access to the secret evidence, and 5 whole minutes of post-sentence court time to defend himself. The U.S. legal system isn't BARBARIC, you know.

Maybe for an encore they can design some videogame AI companions who don't stand out in the open and get themselves shot like fucking idiots.
No, those jobs are already being snapped up by unemployed journalists.
I fexed it.
That guy was so demanding.
How many coal miners are killed each year compared to the number of people kill by nuclear accidents?

Good. More jobs for us then.
Why you gotta harsh our vibe, China?
They think whatever Glorious Leader Xi Jinping tells them to.

So yeah, that would not be good.

Because Apple is well-known for being lenient when it comes to their IP.
Yeah, kind of like the Iranian Revolution in 1979, huh? Consequences.

Everyone on Slashdot has assured me repeatedly over the years that neither the UK nor Sweden has any intention of ever extraditing him to the U.S.
Now stop stealing my clothes and trying to trick my girlfriend, asshole!
Think about that when you're trying to get to sleep tonight.
Because I still need sweet tunes for my Camaro.
I'll never trust you with my deep dark secrets ever again, man.
It's Finland. Just trying to get across the concept of something that willfully speaks more than once a month will be a huge challenge.
