And it's sad that on the day most of us learn that Steve Jobs is the son of a Syrian, the United Nations releases a report that says more than 2,900 Syrians have died in protests there. As one person on Twitter put it, "Steve Jobs = Great argument for a free #Syria."

 Three hours back on tumblr and a flame war! Fuckyeah! Bring it on!!
