POPSTwouble with Twitters: SuperNews! All you Twitter addicts stuck in traffic, some good news. You might not have to risk your life any longer sending out one-handed Tweets on your Blackberry or iPhone, while trying to hide the fact that you are doing so under the dashboard. If you have OnStar in your car, you may soon be able to send and receive hands-free Tweets through OnStar’s voice-activated calling system. Andru Edwards at Gear Livediscovered the potential feature. Your voice messages will be converted into text and sent to all of your Twitter followers.

POPSGovernment Motors (GM) Unveils its First Model!
To fight noise pollution, instead of a horn, the B-ROC will include a booklet of hand signals to communicate with fellow drivers in a more efficient and exact manner. Similar to the popular OnStar system, the B-ROC will come standard with the BigBrother system. This will allow the government to keep track of where you are and what you’re saying. And if you were hoping OnStar would one day monitor for speech insensitive to race, gender, or sexual preference, then you’re going to love BigBrother! And if you’re ever in need, a helpful government social worker will be one button away with a wait time guaranteed to be no more than six hours (for safety reasons, the B-ROC must be parked during two-way communications). Never be afraid; BigBrother is watching you! Remote access will allow the government to open your B-ROC for you if you accidentally lock your keys inside. It will also allow the government to lock you inside if they feel they need to for your own safety

POPSKill Switches in devices could lead to authorities having control over your gadgets. This is more of the erosion of property rights. Those in power would love it for no-one to own property. If you buy a device that can ultimately be deactivated by the manufacturer or other authorities, this means they can deprive you of the use of something you own. I've been monitoring the erosion of personal property and am still amazed at the myriad of ways industries come up with in depriving consumers of rights. First the RIAA decided you never own music, you license it, the same goes for software. Now it's moving to hardware.
