"We have had reports of children, especially children that are mentally challenged, who have been used as suicide bombers, most probably without them even understanding what has happened or what they have to expect," said Renate Winter, an expert with the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child.
Mentally challenged children being rigged with explosives and sent to their deaths. Is the United States able to call this evil yet?
Men were bold enough to call Hitler evil, but somehow are scrambling to find the word to best describe these evil men. Maybe it’s because here in the States we prediagnose mental disorders when a baby is still in the womb and offer a solution to prevent their suffering, burning them alive with chemicals or ripping them limb from limb with metal tools. Our sense of morality may be a bit off, because to me these gentlemen with ISIS are not doing much different than we are.
With the Apple Watch right around the corner, it’ll be interesting as more and more potential competitors try to carve out a piece of a smartwatch market, a market that currently barely exists.

I’ve been using iPhoto for a decade. I have a lot of photos. With a 6 month old (as of Sunday), I take a lot of photos these days. Having easy access to those photos across my devices seems like a dream. And Apple seems to be trying to make that dream come true.
But the […] thing is that people do not arrive at the moment of such an emotional/relational choice with a clean slate. There are many women who accept men into their lives who treat them like dirt (and sure, they technically choose it), but they got to this point because their entire outlook and view of themselves was shaped by fathers who treated them like dirt, or that neighbor boy, or that leering uncle, and they most certainly didn't choose that. So do we seriously want to maintain that kicking a woman when she is down is not a problem provided she has previously been so battered and discouraged that she has stopped trying to get up? Of course not. And the fact that an abuse-prepping catechism like this one clearly appeals to millions of women is grand news for predatory (straight-toothed) men everywhere.
Is this really what our enlightened society has come to? Misogynist is what we call people that that want to protect unborn babies by stopping abortion, but when protagonists of books that are abused “willingly” by men that like to hurt women, we have no problem.
What do you think encouraging young woman to play the victim will do to the psyche of those women? What do you think it tells all the sick men that like to hurt women?
A guitar tuner to geek out over, Roadie is a beautiful example of what can happen when you carry a supercomputer in your pocket. Roadie connects to your iPhone with Bluetooth. The app listens to you strum the strings of your guitar and tells the tuner how much to spin the pegs. It also lets you know when you need new strings.
None of them will tell you this: If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job -- if you are so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks -- the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed. That's right. While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.
There are way too many asterisks next to the government’s unemployment number. Educate yourself on things, no matter if you are liberal or conservative, and you’ll see that the unemployment/underemployment percentage is much higher.
