Your video, TYT - A Great Way To Save USPS, But Will It Happen?, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I studied English and Philosophy in school and have continued reading a lot of utopian/dystopian literature since. My familiarity with economics and economic history pales in contrast, but the close relationship with subjects I am interested in has caused me to spend some time and consideration learning what I can.

That said, when I see a video like this I lump it into the same pseudo intellectual/science/news that things like Bill O'Reilly, TYT, Kirk Cameron, Creationists and bigots bring to mind.

Why did I watch this? Well I'm open to listening to legitimate and informative critiques of socioeconomic systems. If they are particularly good it can lead to all sorts of follow up questions and inquiries. I get bored while i'm "slaving" away at work so I put things on in the background...

Then there videos like this. There are very few facts throughout the entire video. The analogies used are misleading. The terrible acts and downfalls of groups, individuals, or particular ideologies are often blown out of proportion entirely. There is no nuanced investigation, no insights, nothing but a self satisfied narrator with droll delivery.

Thanks for rummaging through my videos for dead links. I'll pass on using my downvote on this video.

I don't really care about their stupid antics at TYT. However yes if you want to fight terrorism, increasing terrorism is a stupid way to do it. Says all the terrorist experts including the CIA. It is completely predictable the increase in terrorism, we predicted it and it happened.

We shouldn't just leave them alone, because we wouldn't be we've already destroyed their countries. We should do what the British and the IRA did when they addressed legitimate grievances. There are legitimate reasons why people are upset and supporting a few wackjob terrorists. Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda wouldn't have any support if it wasn't for the US and it's recruitment machine of killing innocent people who have no hatred for the US and thus turning their families into utter psychopaths some would say rightly so.

So yes there are things we can absolutely do, what we're doing isn't working, it wasn't predicted to work, and we should stop doing it because it's fucking evil.

So what, exactly, are TYT sniggering childishly about? Is terrorism not up? Aren't new bombs being developed by the terrorists? Should we be more, or less, concerned about the escalation in terrorism? Or are they, like many blind appeasers, blaming the increase in terrorism on the west; Naively suggesting that if we leave them alone, terrorism will stop?

She's stewed on the limited power of a fast-burning flame-out. Party-line insider spouting business as usual, with a sense of style reminiscent of moth-balls and covered furniture never having been sat upon.

Chopped from TYT with appropriate giggles and snickers sans smarmy tone of their ever-increasing panel of diatribe blowhards.

Yo radx-We realize you're trying to communicate the details of the graphic violation committed by these cops'n all but, your title reads as if you took part in the victim's experience either form the first-person or otherwise.

Try this one: "Further Rectal Violations Before Freed, They Were ALLL Up In That Ass!"

^^ nice-critique way

Now. An offering of TYT jumping on this story and Cenk Unjmkgar's laboriously cloddish editorializing on this story?? Can't stand the douche-HIs bawk-bawking detracts from the facts and his schtick, as tiresome as fake ham packaged and sold as pork-Downvote for Cenk, again and again.

How does a guy dipping ice cream get a pension? TYTs like to attack people like Romney, but totally ignore people like Kerry, who is also worth billions. Fucking hypocrite!

As I understood it, that technology stops cell phone use (as a phone or text device), not the other functions of your phone. That would make this something new (at least to me) in that it's something embedded in the device that allows others to disable all features based on a GPS 'area', so there's no device involved that blocks the signal (meaning it might fly in Canada because it doesn't interfere with airwaves or (perhaps) cell interruption (I can't tell if this will disable the 'phone' part of the phone or not).
What they were working on for movie theaters and the like actually blocked the signal, not the phone itself, with a separate device installed in the area they want to be a dead zone. It would not have interfered with taking video.
Agreed though, TYT is well known for getting irate over year old stories.
This sounds like a perfect reason to not buy Apple.

@kevingrr, Thank You. I have been decrying the schlock of TYT as long as these embeds started appearing on the VS maybe 4 years ago?? The lapdog fanatics here clam the fuck up whenever I suggest their being duped-out of the meat of what's news as they trade the protein of meaning for smarmy, snipeish, sub-standard infotainment that strokes their programmed sensibilities.

Compare TYT to Fox News, simply insert banter that "feels" and "sounds" better to the critical-thinking-challenged ineffectual and, "Voila, let's call it bad drugs disguised as political commentary."

@shatterdose

I completely agree with you. Per usual this is TYT and similar news agencies having a slow day and finding a way to get their viewers mouths frothing.

They take the same video clips they use in half their reports, splice in some commentary, and rack up the views.

Yawn. This was reported as early as November of 2012. It gets on reddit a week ago and now you care?

Apple has a patent for this. They have LOTS of patents.

When they decide to actually include this in their hardware...you can choose to not buy it or protest it.

I hate TYT and all their ilk. It's alarmist non-substantive reporting. I would love to see real journalism outside of the mainstream garbage take off, but this isn't it.

OMG will this be retroactive and affect all my old cameras !!! no? OK
OMG will I be forced to buy one of these shitty crippled new cameras!!!! no? OK

What's with the TYT chick at home vid? too hot for the office now?

Here is Card's preface before any of the Quotes TYT laid out:
"So as a science fiction writer and a student of history, allow me to spin a plausible scenario about how, like Augustus Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolph Hitler, and Vladimir Putin, Barack Obama could become lifetime dictator without any serious internal opposition."

It is absolutely clear that he does NOT state this is a prediction of the future he expects. Meanwhile Cenk painstakingly sets up that the quotes are Card's rallying cry against what he expects to happen in the next few years. That's lying.

Card's statements prior to that were nothing any more severe than what all manner of people decried Bush and Cheney for and worse. Plenty of people talked at length about 'what if' Bush doesn't step down, or Cheney doesn't step down. I think it horrifically unfair to now leap down Card's throat for the same.
