  Obama's BlackberryAs you may or may not know, the presidents of the US have generally speaking been forbidden from using email and/or cellphones because it is unsafe or would give away their location etc etc. (there are a few exceptions but those are ultra rare).
Obama is a Blackberry addict so he was pretty worried about not being able to take it with him into the office, and it seems they compromised: a 3000 dollar heavily encrypted blackberry, approved by the NSA.

heh....guess it's nice having someone that actually understands the internet some in the white house. Unlike the previous tenant who probably didn't understand electricity.

yea, I'm trying to reserve judgement, but he's a politician. I doubt he's going to change anything. More of the same political handouts for the same people.
He's already appointed RIAA people to two top government jobs and is working on a $6billion handout for the existing internet companies. Sounds like more of the same shit to me. _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |

Heh I thought the same thing, they covered it on the tv over here and of course started the whole "he says he's gonna do this and that and blah blah blah" and I thought "yeah, they all have grand plans, then just sit there raking in the money..." Ah well we shall see.
