Posted: 30th September 2010 by T.F.P. in Current Events

This story has been all over the news, so you’ve probably heard something about it. An 18-year-old Rutgers student committed suicide by jumping off the George Washington Bridge after learning that his roommate secretly recorded and broadcast him having sex with another man.

I’ve had my iPhone for about a year now, and I absolutely love it!! That kind of goes without saying, though. I mean, how many iPhone owners end up hating the device? Anyway, I initially bought it for all the great apps and its web browsing capabilities, then ended up liking it for its many [...]

I don’t consider myself to be a paranoid person. For instance, I don’t believe in vast conspiracy theories involving the government, CIA, FBI, etc. in relation to UFO sightings or assassination attempts or anything like that. And while the government does have the technology, I don’t believe anyone is constantly listening in on my cell [...]
