In another horrific incident demonstrating police brutality toward photojournalists, even in Western democracies, a Portuguese policeman attacked AFP photographer Patricia Melo as she covered a general strike in Lisbon yesterday. Workers there were on strike to protest austerity measures imposed on Portugal as a condition of the $100 billion bailout provided to the country by other European nations.

  1. We need a Doomsday Clock for World Democracy. The corporations seem to be taking over everywhere.

  2. Austerity never turns out to mean spending less money on batons, pepper spray, handcuffs, tear gas, or tasers.

  1. I must wonder how the portable mp3 device and the tablet will do on this list.

  2. The iPod wasn’t the first portable mp3 player, and still it is 11 years old. Strange that it is missing from the list.

  3. Yeah, PC is missing from the list too. Haven’t looked at the source material.

  4. It’s hard to say what the first tablet was, but there were Go! and Pen Windows computers, what 10-15 years ago? Adoption roughly zero.

  5. My initial comment was somewhat sarcastic – sees like the obvious current champs are missing on purpose.

  1. “It appears possible that opera-induced regulatory cells may inhibit immune responses against allografts,”

    Can we play some Verdi for the Republicans and see if they become more induced to regulation and less grafty?
