• Apple is widely being called out for failing to pay taxes, in a big way. This weekend the bbc is talking about that one in fallout from Irish Bank rvelations w/r/t apple and google has it's own issues, and also, the changes coming indifferent parts of the world due to different bandwidths. 
• Wednesday saw the brutal killing by radicals in Woolwich, in east London. This sparked discussion all week on the bbc about domestic terrorism, seeing a parallel between this attack and the Boston Marathon attack on April 15. 
• Today, Saturday, thousands returned with many of the wounded on that attack on Boston today to finish the last mile. The race had been interrupted with the bombings in April and so they finished it today, May 25. 
• Thursday, President Obama gave an hour long speech seeking to answer questions with regard to the war on terror. It's worth hearing in full, but the transcript is here (not just the prepared speech). I think it was a speech for adults.
