On Murdoch Hearing Suspended Due to Attack
@Matt Don't worry, they'll self-rez in three days and then come back to announce the beginning of The Interwebs 3.0. Or was that Raptor Jezus. I get the two of them mixed up.

On Harry Potter and the Deathly Epilogue
Okay, so the ending to the book wasn't that great for the movie. It was good in the book, mainly because you need something simple after all those essplodie thingies going down. Also because it basically ruins any hope of anyone being able to write more "new adventures of harry potter, as an old guy" since the author is like "nah, he just goes off and does normal things, and it's just cool like that".
Also, I think people forget that the wizard dating pool is rather shallow. Maybe they could pair off with someone from abroad, but they'd be like, not British... Ah well that doesn't bother me anyways.

On Alleged DSK Rape Victim Knows Bad People and Also Drinks!
@mushr00m
I dunno if he's guilty or not, but the bigger issue is what can be proven. That's why sexual assault goes unreported so often: it's hard to prove what happened. And if you need to testify in the case, and people end up not believing you, that makes it even worse.

On Today Is Flag Day, Unfortunately
I claim this land of India in the name of Her Majesty the Queen of England!
You can't claim this, it's ours, we live here! There's 500 million of us here!
Do you have a flag?? No flag no country according to this rule that I've just made up!

On No Matter What, America Hearts Paris
Ah Paris, I hearted you too until you signed to a major label and then the left bank turned into a total B and ruined my life forever. But that's just me.

On The 'Times' Gets Goldman Sachs Emails: Lies, Sourcing and Lawyers
If the laptop still had access to the corporate system years after having been "discovered in the garbage area" I would have been deeply suspicious. There's no way that the password is still the same and as someone mentioned even the password would have been useless without the keycode fob. Blackberries are different in that some of them can be set up to run an app that generates the same numbers as the fob, but they also have a password you have to type to get into.
The only scenario where this might work is if the work emails were automatically forwarded to a less secure personal account that the laptop did have access to, which is the kind of nightmare scenario that makes system administrators wonder if it's worth even getting up in the morning.

On This Week's Tech Conference: Three Days Inside the Bubble
I'm sorry if you think that a snarky article in The Awl about a tech conference that focuses on corporate networking BS rather than like, actual tech, is rooted in jealousy. I think the article gave the conference pretty much the exact coverage it deserves, but then I'd be more interested in a report from E3 or BlizzCon, so maybe I'm not your target audience to begin with.
