    The article is poorly written. "Scammers are using cellphone's Bluetooth option to hack the pump - and get it for free." is all the detail you get. My cellphone's Bluetooth doesn't…

    I'd rather just focus on the 10% that is the detailed content, versus 90% hype, but to each their own. I don't need to be told for 3 hours that every minor feature is an Earth-shat…

    I love the incessant deification of Steve Jobs, regardless of his mistakes, juvenile behavior, and constant stories about his abuse of his staff. In this story Jobs mistakes the wr…
