He'll certainly continue his elections work for ESPN's sister network, ABC. There might be more worthwhile things he could work on, but sports and politics are what interests him.

In those instances, you might spend a few hours or the night in a jail cell, that's true. It's a bit different than what they do in Venezuela, or say, Egypt.

The federal government does still utilize the death penalty, but it's very rare these days. Only three times since 1963, whereas Texas has executed 500 people since 1982.

I'll say it's another stain on this country as well, but not particularly relevant to the issue of political imprisonment.

Sure, I'll agree that Guantanamo's a stain on this country. And while we have entirely too many prisoners in this country, they aren't 'political prisoners'. People aren't thrown into prison for protesting the

He did more than just 'mention' it, he stoled government property and disseminated classified information to the public. I'm not saying what he did was 'wrong', but it is illegal and not particularly a free speech i

I don't think it's all that fair of an assumption, and even so, he's only delaying the inevitable. He will be brought back and tried eventually.

If he wasn't, he would have simply turned himself in and faced trial. All his globe-trotting and statements just detract from the issues he's raised re: surveillance.

The man is desperate for attention, but doesn't want to appear so. I guess.

You can argue about whether they're unjust laws or not, but they still exist and if you break them, you should face the consequences. That's what the civil rights leaders in this country did, among others. But honestly, from my re

They do when they knowingly break the laws and run away from the consequences like Snowden and Assange have (Assange's even more appalling given the rape allegations he also ran away from). Manning, at least, didn't do that. I sta

So cute how Wikileaks is always trying to insert themselves into this story.

Jaguar does (or did when my parents had one). I think other luxury car dealers typically do as well.

Well, after the two years, you're T-Mobile bill goes down by ~$20/line a month while your bill on the other carriers stay the same. This assumes, of course, that you don't buy a new phone and start the process all over again.

Yeah, there's not much saving for me either. It'll cost $200 less over the course of two years if I go with 2 lines and T-Mobile's unlimited data plan (compared to the 2 lines and 6GB share everything plan I have from Verizon). But, as you

I really don't understand how people get sucked into these for-profit (scam) schools. Or why the federal government provides student loans for students going to such places. Presuming Ms. Parker lived in Georgia, in-state tuition at most pu

You can request a file on any deceased person, and they'll give it to you in most cases. Social security numbers of the deceased are also public information. Helps to prevent identity theft issues.

Apple gets more attention because of their size, but Samsung has recently caught some notice on these labor issues[1]. [1]: http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/14/3767272/samsung-htns-supp...

It could break much sooner than that. All Twitter would need to do is cut off access to it, like they just did with [Tweetie]( http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/10/11/rip-tweetie-for-mac-w... ) I think we can expect third-party clients to be

That would be very nice. I primarily read Instapaper (Marco's more well-known creation) on my Kindle rather than my tablets or phone.

They were still selling the 3GS until just a few weeks ago; it would have annoyed many customers if iOS 6 wasn't released for the device. The first-gen iPad, on the other hand, stopped being sold when the iPad 2 was released in March 2011.

The primary reason I upgraded from a 3rd gen Kindle to the Kindle 4 rather than the Touch was the latter's lack of page-turn buttons. But I've been using the Paperwhite for a week now and it's not been a problem at all. I just rest my thumb

This provides that you're a) a nerd, b) comfortable voiding your warranty by rooting the phone and c) that your phone is even popular enough for there to be things like Cyanogenmod to install on it. Sure, I did that with my HTC Incredible,

Not really a fan of Moleskine's notebooks, but this is interesting. But, Evernote's Page Camera feature that was added to the iOS app does seem to work just fine with other paper (I tested Field Notes w/ graph paper). It's just 'optimized'
