Perfect Example of Islamic Terror Groups Taking Advantage of Our Kindeness As A Nation

 http://www.islamist-watch.org/blog/2012/04/action-alert-best-buy-tvs-computers-hamas?goback=%2Egde_1934231_member_109053583
The above reflects how islamist terror groups hide in the U.S. Now it seems that corporate america is assisting them. Where is the public outcry? When U.S. companies did anything in South Africa a few years ago it was huge news. The left called for no nothing for any U.S. company involved. Even if Best Buy is going down for the count we should hurry their path along. I hope we all stop our dealings with this group and make this information known to all.

What Will The Major Aerospace Players Do?

Interested in what long term cold war contractors will do to adjust their technology to the ecosystem being devised below. The jury is still out as to if this group can gain any traction with the finer points of their concepts but it's a sure bet that the military communications systems of the near future will all revolve around commercial infrastructure and especially off the shelf handsets ,iPads ,iPhones ,droids of all types . No need for expensive software defined radios, or any other non COTS device. This truth is going to make most of the community that chase this space very nervous because they are not intellectually capable of understanding how to play in a fluid commercial game.
