Partial fix

New development on the banning. It looks like Google has recognized that it was a bit hasty to just pull tethering apps from the Android Market altogether. Here's what they had to say:

"We inadvertently unpublished your application for all mobile providers; if you like, we can restore your app so that all Android Market users outside the T-Mobile US network will have access to your application."

Banned from the Market... ok.

So, I've had my first real clash with the Open Handset Alliance today. Wifi Tether for Root Users, an app I'm a contributor for, got banned from the Android Market for violating the Developer Distribution Agreement.

tell me about "rights" once you've fed everyone

I was at my GLBT student group's candidate forum last night and mostly Libertarians showed up. *le sigh* There were a lot of lofty ideological statements that were often internally inconsistent, and universally impractical. My favorite part was when I asked about preventing discrimination and ensuring that the needs of minorities and the underprivileged are met in a capitalist utopia.

Religious freedom my ass

As you may learn, I'm usually the one who goes soft on religion around here, but not when it fucks with people's health and lives. Today the issue is doctors denying certain treatments to patients for religious reasons. Particularly contraceptives, abortions, and other procedures related to women's health. There are a few issues here, so let's address them one at a time. 1: Doctors need to do their jobs. 2: People need to stop telling outright lies about contraceptives.

Links!

Links have been added, excessively debated, and tediously organized. If you like them, don't like them, or have ones you think we should add, let us know.
