It's about time the courts of this country started defending the constitution and striking back against the police state that has developed since 2001

A federal judge today declared national security letters illegal and banned them. Let's hope this hold up under appeals but unfortunately I'm not too hopeful.

If something like the +HTC One had been available on +Verizon Wireless I might have bought one (or two) in recent months

When my daughter was up for an upgrade last summer, she opted for the Galaxy S3 but by the time I got my new phone in the fall I went for the +Motorola Mobility Razr Maxx HD and I'm glad I did. Last week my wife had no interest in the Samsung and opted for the superior battery life of the Razr HD over the Droid DNA.
