President Obama signs cellphone unlocking bill into law

President Obama signs cellphone unlocking bill into law. OK, we have to give Obama and Congress a thumbs up on this one. If you like your cell phone you can keep your cell phone.

  • This is actually a good thing. When Barack does something good I will be the first one to congratulate. In Third World countries phones are unlocked and people are able to do whatever they want, go with a carrier or do the chip thing and pay as they go. That is true communications freedom, not sure why we have to have ourselves locked in like that.

    But what does this mean? I hope that by and by it means that I can just get a chip like I can get in another country and I don't have to sign up with anyone at all.

        • Well, since you do try to find the good in things, I just figured there might have been something, but I don't know what it might have been.

          • Thank you for the compliment. I do want to find the best in people. However, Barack makes it very hard. He at best a dimwit and at worst an evil freak. How can one respect that one way or another?

            Now that I think about it though his extensive use of drone strikes is something that I have complimented in the past. However, in all truth, this was part of the Bush agenda, Obama only intensified something that was already in place, perhaps as a way to substitute it for actual boots on the ground.

    • Uh, srsly tho -- yeah it sounds kinda neat, but it's really just another assault on those nasty ol' Big Business Profitmongering EEEEBIL Corporations. Hey, who needs old-fashun stuff like intellectual property rights, hmm?
