In what I can only presume will be the first of many public middle fingers from the Bitcoin community to Apple, pock.io has removed Apple from its list of available gift cards purchasable on it's website. Now if only they'd add Steam cards to their arsenal, they'd make the other half of the Bitcoin population happy.
It seems that what Time Warner and Verizon thought was nothing more than a publicity stunt a year ago is now shaping up to be a nightmare for them. Google has invited 34 cities to "explore ways to bring service to their citizens." One of their tiered services is free. If I were Comcast, I'd be terrified.
Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, Dianne Feinstein, pointed her angry boney finger at the CIA today in an accusation of privacy invasion. Huh... Apparently all you had to do was convince Congress that their computers had been illegally searched for them to freak out. Should have done that about 12 months ago.
In the science world, a woman has been found who's body naturally produces the antibodies to fight the HIV virus. Well, technically "naturally". Unfortunately, her body is only able to do this because she also has lupus, an equally bad yet terribly opposite disease. That's like losing your life savings on the roulette table, then winning 90% of it back on the way out of the casino by putting one penny into a slot machine; it's still unlucky, but there's worse problems, I guess.
Another fun Apple Story. A UK man is badmouthing the tech giant because, even after showing them a will and a death certificate, they still won't unlock his late mother's iPad for him. Moral of the story, Apple kills old people, or something like that.
