Starting 2013, with my personal blog suspended by WordPress.com.

Happy New Year everyone.

I just found out within the last hour that my personal WordPress blog has been suspended. No clear reasons given why except for the usual:

This blog has been deactivated because we believe it does not comply with the WordPress.com Terms of Service or advertising policy.

I have contacted WordPress support regarding this issue.

According to my colleague, this blog was once erroneously suspended a few years back. It was reinstated soon after I contacted WordPress support.

New York Mayor Bloomberg blames Apple for increase in Crime Rate

New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg blames Apple for increase in crime rate.

From The New York Times:

Major crime in New York City inched up this year, and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on Friday fingered the culprit: too many iPhones and iPads were being swiped.

A rise in thefts of shiny Apple products accounted for the slight increase in the city’s annual crime index, a statistic that covers a number of felonies, including murder, grand larceny and robbery, Mr. Bloomberg said on Friday morning during his weekly radio show.

Apple competitors should jump on this right away.

“Don’t want to get mugged? Don’t buy Apple products.”

That will go well.
