Senator Al Franken asks about Carrier IQ, the companies answer: the complete breakdown

He wanted to know what CarrierIQ is all about and why several US mobile providers and manufacturers felt the need to install potentially invasive software on the phones of unsuspecting consumers. Senator Franken sent Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Samsung, HTC and Motorola a series of thirteen questions each, trying to get to the bottom of what each company is doing with the mysterious software. So far, all but T-Mobile and Motorola have complied with the Senator's wishes, as the two remaining companies were given until December 20th to have their responses submitted (we'll update this post as those are made public). As we reported previously, the Senator wasn't all too pleased by what the companies had to say. Are You Being Tracked? 8 Ways Your Privacy Is Being Eroded Online and Off.

Three federal air marshals in bulletproof vests and two officers trained to spot suspicious behavior watched closely as Seiko, a German shepherd, nosed Vetter's trousers for chemical traces of a bomb. Radiation detectors carried by the marshals scanned the 57-year-old lawyer for concealed nuclear materials. When Seiko indicated a scent, his handler, Julian Swaringen, asked Vetter whether he had pets at home in Garner, N.C. Two mutts, Vetter replied. "You can go ahead," Swaringen said.

The mayhem stretched from Washington state to Georgia and was reminiscent of the violence that broke out 20 years ago in many cities as the shoes became popular targets for thieves.

In suburban Seattle, police used pepper spray on about 20 customers who started fighting at the Westfield Southcenter mall.

Police Brutality, Arrests, MSM blackout. 700 protesters arrested trying to cross Brooklyn Bridge. NEW YORK — In a tense showdown above the East River, police arrested more than 700 demonstrators from the Occupy Wall Street protests who took to the roadway as they tried to cross the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday afternoon.

New numbers: Income for top 1 percent skyrocketed over last 30 years. Source: CBO So you already know that the gap between rich and poor has been widening lately. But some new numbers from the Congressional Budget Office put the issue into stark relief. As the chart at right shows, between 1979 and 2007, the share of after-tax income going to each of the bottom four income quintiles--the bottom 80 percent--has dropped.

The only quintile that has increased its share is the top 20 percent. And the top 1 percent has more than doubled its share. That top 1 percent saw its income skyrocket by 275 percent. One reason for the growing gap, the report said, is the impact of government transfer programs. Money has been privatised by stealth.

The money that they create, effectively out of nothing, isn't the paper money that bears the logo of the government-owned Bank of England.
