Sen. John Kerry • Threatening to get in the middle of the spat between Time Warner Cable and News Corp. over licensing fees. Rupert Murdoch’s crew wants a bigger share of the pie, and have forced the cable company to the edge. If they don’t come to an agreement tonight, Time Warner Cable channels will go black.

We hope Kerry successfully gets the FCC involved, because these petulant children need it. source

They say they were trying to monitor employee theft. Boom chicka wow. Seven Walmart employees (both current and former) are suing a Pennsylvania location that installed a security camera in the unisex washroom. Two employees in loss-prevention installed it, and it was found in March of last year. Three employees complained, and were fired for complaining. They’re part of the suit. Just think of how People of Walmart could use this technology, though! source
