Week In Review 12W2010
Verizon is hellbent on dragging USA away from mobile darkages and promises 30% LTE coverage till the end of 2010.
Nintendo promised a 3D DS next year. And that’s no-glasses 3D too! Meanwhile, iPhoneOS quadrupled gaming share in a year. Granted, this is 2008 to 2009 so it went from 5% to 19%. The interesting thing is while the DS took a small hit from 75% to 70%, the PSP went from 20% to 11% which means the “market cap” shrinked to half.
Google escalated by serving .cn requests from HongKong. HongKong is already a sore point with the PRC so this could go south.
The Guardian says Israel cloned real British passports to use in wet ops. This is the super safe passports designed with the sole purpose of keeping us safe from terrorists. Meanwhile, a airport worker took naked pics of a coworker using the “security” scanner and cellphone. The main difference between the photographed worker and your wife and she’s traumatized and will probably get a fat check while your wife would be a terrorist and be detained without accusation for an undetermined period of time. Are we safe yet ?
A German organization of child-abuse survivors [spoke out against censorship in the name of “protecting children”]. I’ve always said child pornography is used as a strawman for political censorship and economic interest and that’s absolutely morally despicable. The victims add censorship actually works for the aggressors by hiding the crimes and not doing anything effective to stop the practice. Are you actually against child abuse ? Then pressure for a real investigation of the Catholic church.
