McDonald v. Chicago
…the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the Second Amendment right, recognized in Heller, to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense.
I didn't doubt it would end up this way, but the Supreme Court has just ruled that the right to keep and bear arms isn't just a right in Federal jurisdictions but also a right that must not be infringed by the states.

Mobile Broadband Prices Update
A little while ago I posted this table:
| Cost/mo | Allowance (GB) | Cost/GB | 1 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $20 | 0.01 | $1,900 | $1,901 | $9,501 | $19,001 | $38,001 | $95,001 |
| $35 | 0.2 | $100 | $115 | $515 | $1,015 | $2,015 | $5,015 |
| $60 | 5 | $50 | $60 | $60 | $310 | $810 | $2,310 |
Today we have a new table from AT&T, admittedly the prices got better:
| Cost/mo | Allowance (GB) | Cost/GB | 1 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15 | 0.2 | $50 | $75 | $375 | $750 | $1,500 | $3,750 |
| $25 | 2 | $10 | $25 | $55 | $105 | $205 | $505 |
While this still seems steep to me, especially since the $30 unlimited data plan has been eliminated for iPhones and iPads, it's a massive improvement, despite the people freaking out about it.
I should point out this only is for smartphones, the data plans for laptops appear to not be part of this.
Update: For DataConnect the $20 plan seems to be gone now.
