  on Major New Anti-NSA Bill Dropping Next Week With Powerful Support

  Even if it passes, what are the chances that the intelligence community actually obey it? They seem to believe they're above the law.

  on James Clapper Admits He Lied To Congress; His Punishment Will Likely Be A High Paying Private Sector Job

  It's become pretty obvious that unless you're an athlete accused of using PEDs, Congress doesn't care if you tell them the truth or not. Because PED use is much, MUCH worse than spying on all the citizens of the USA.

  on You Don't Own What You Thought You Bought: Verizon Breaks Phones; Turns Off Feature

  They actually said when the phone was released, that they were only allowing the free hotspot feature for a limited time. I think it sucks, but there was no lying or bait and switch on Verizon's part in this case.
