It is another sad day for liberty, justice, and democracy, as Zimbabwe opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, pulls out of the runoff election against that nation's leader, President Robert Mugabe. Citing the escalating violence and the possibility that those who vote for him will be murdered by government officials, Tsvangirai announced his decision at a news conference on Sunday.

Former Republican and current Libertarian candidate for President of the United States, Bob Barr, has changed his mind on the infringement of personal liberty. A former supporter of the USA PATRIOT ACT, he now finds himself against the bill, stating, "In the past I was willing...to accept a greater degree of government involvement in infringing liberty because we did have a fairly large reservoir of liberty we still had available to us. That's no longer the case."

Ars Technica has gotten confirmation from AT&T that existing AT&T customers can purchase a new 3G iphone when it is released in about six weeks. A customer's existing contract will be replaced with the new contract. This is good news, since many current iPhone owners (myself included) want a new 3G iPhone, and I personally do not wish to be locked down to AT&T for another two years on top of my existing two-year contract. Call it early renewal, or whatever you want, but I'm happy with the deal.

Great, we'll be spending more time with sales people when we buy our new 3G iPhones this summer, according to Ars Technica.
