It's them being used incorrectly that is the problem. I think they should also stop teaching police how to subdue people with arm holds because it's possible to injure people's arms. In fact, they shouldn't even let police use pens or pencils to take notes because it's possible for them to be used as stabbing weapons. Hell, police shouldn't even be allowed to speak because they might hurt people's feelings.

Nilay Patel of The Verge: Five years after the iPhone, carriers are the biggest threat to innovation

Excellent summary of the state of the mobile industry and what damage the mobile carriers are doing.

Yeah, i've been following Ouya via various gaming websites. Man, they reached their $950,000 within 24 hours. Look it it now! $3.6mil!!

Would love to see it succeed.

Yeah it seems really interesting for sure. It's the kind of thing that many geeks will latch onto and hack to death even if it doesn't see much commercial success.

Those are all classics! I'm sure we'll get many more to come as the screws tighten on the industry and they get desperate to differentiate themselves.
