Oh gawd...here he goes again...

NYC Regulation #195438985443 - No phone, tablet or other handheld computer device shall employ more than a 2 gig micro SD card...

There! That´ll show ´em! It´s all those DRAM pigs at the trough making problems for us.

Once we limit their choices, they´ll be *much* better off...

What a buffoon.

Yeah, don´t blame the criminal-minded, blame the iPad and iPhone.

Well that settles it. Obviously this situation calls for a special NYC iPhone, iPad, iNonsense tax on all Apple phones sold within the city.

Whatever you do, don`t get caught with an iPhone in one hand an a 17 oz soda in the other.

Its all those Obama cell phones!!

NYC taxpayers ultimately bear the costs of these thefts in the form of costs incurred through increased police work and, ultimately, the incarceration of those thieves caught and convicted.

Accordingly, Mayor Nurse Bloomberg should propose a $30 surcharge for every iPhone and iPad sold within NYC.

Further, so as to prevent the unwashed masses from dodging this most necessary tax and purchasing such items beyond NYC´s borders, such as from stores in adjacent counties, states, and from online retailers, NYC shall require that every operable iPhone/iPad in the city must have a 3-inch x 3-inch NYC tax sticker affixed to it (similar in concept to those tax stickers affixed to packs of cigarettes sold in NYS).

If an operable iPhone/iPad is possessed within NYC and lacks said tax sticker, then that device shall be confiscated and impounded until such time the owner pays the tax and the $250 administrative surcharge and additional $50 storage surcharge to NYC.

See, problem solved.

Ban electronic shows.

Isn´t there some way to disable iPhones? If Apple would put some kind of self destruct mechanism in them they wouldn´t be stolen as much. Some kind of remote destruction command would make them less worth stealing, since the owner would never get the phone back anyway.

The phone craze in this country has gotten completely out of hand.People are getting so addicted to these things they can´t even perform meager tasks.Special accommodations are being made at theaters so addicted people can get their fix. I´m sure a lot of it is people checking up on their spouse or S/O to make sure they aren´t cheating which is another absurd trend in itself.I imagine in some cases people´s addiction is what´s doing them in if they´re brandishing the damn things in high risk areas like subways.

What I don´t get is why these stolen phones can´t be locked out by the owner,rendering them useless.

But yeah,blaming an inanimate device for crime is typical Bloomberg idiocy.

I heard the new 49er´s stadium will have an app that you can order a beer and hot dog from your seat. No mention of an app for exiting the consumed beer.

The ignorance and stupidity of the tiny tyrant is truly astounding.

He would, he is so lame!

The mayor is in for a shock, I do not think young people can walk and chew gum unless they have a cell phone attached to their ear and ditto with the thingies mentioned above.

Ban the IPads! Ban IPhones! Boycott APPLE!
Good grief, Bloomy, have you gone totally whacko?

Who is less sane, Bloomberg or obama?

On sanity, I can´t help you. As far as pure evil goes, Bloomie comes in second, but not by much.

Nanny Bloomberg and Prince Andrew will be the death of Gnu Yak yet.

I blame Michael Jordan for this happening!

I love all the posts....I was thinking a lot of the same nonsense! LOL This guy is the dumbest fool I have ever seen. How did he make so much money??? I swear, I think you have to be an idiot to make millions these days.

The stupid thing is that iPhones can be tracked down to whomever stole it if they are registered in iCloud.

Bloomberg is an idiot.

Iphones should contain gubmint installed "black boxes" for tracking!

Don´t you all know that the underclass (obama voters) have a ´right´ to your expensive products? It´s only a short jump from the ´rich´ not paying their fair share.

itheifs?

oops. darn keyboard. I meant ithiefs.

Bloomberg is cra.. wait: he´s rich .. eccentric.

I heard he got rich selling 16ozers to minors...do not know if it is true...I do know he is reactionary...kinda like a windsock...

But, but...doesn´t the liberal mind think that if you want something, just take it? After all, you´re taught in grade school to do anything that feels good. Maybe Bloomberg will come up with another tax hike so he can send every grifter an iPhone.
