Inventor proclaims laziness, shows off self-making bed: “It’s one thing to exemplify laziness; it’s another to buck the habit just long enough to invent something to keep you idler, longer. Enter Enrico Berruti, an everyday fellow who has created something that almost anyone with a bed could see as useful. His Selfy bed, quite simply, uses a variety of moving parts, bars and linens to make itself at the push of a button. To be fair, Mr. Berruti was thinking of disabled individuals who would have a difficult time making their own traditional bed when conjuring this thing up, but he didn’t hesitate to mention his own indolence as motivation. Hopefully there’s some kind of safety feature to prevent users from accidentally activating the thing while they’re still snoozing — can’t imagine that being any “

Bush administration: Fourth Amendment doesn’t apply to domestic military operations: “Danny sez, ‘Following on from the memo allowing torture overseas, Kurt Opsahl from EFF has spotted a footnoted reference to a memo from the Administration that says ‘our Office recently concluded that the Fourth Amendment had no application to domestic military operations.’

So, if you’re abroad and deemed an enemy combatant you can be tortured. If you’re in the US, and you’re caught up in a ‘military operation’, you lose the bill of rights. Where exactly is the constitution supposed to apply?’
