   There’s a paradox here the subtlety of which el Reg, unsurprisingly, misses. She’s the offspring of a family the probably fled when the Shah was overthrown or perhaps later as the mullahs tightened their grip. She’s not quite the visible cloth of a Revolutionary Guard undercover agent.

   Very true.  It is also true that bigots generally don’t do “subtle.”

   It’s really quite disgusting.

   (I like El Reg for the eclectic irreverence, not for the analysis.)

   Anyway, who seriously thinks the Iranians can’t get iJunk if they want it? The idea of iTar enforcement on worldwide shipment of consumer electronics like it is absurd, regardless of the computing power in the chip sets.

   Most of these “exporting technology” laws are founded on complete and total ignorance of technology and the technology community (I purposefully did not say “companies”).

   Furthermore, it probably was not the intent of Congress to include under the term “export” private retail sales to American residents who have no intention of going anywhere.

   And, for chrissakes, I have a four-year-old netbook that can outperform an iPad seven days a week and twice on Sundays.  And I don’t have to buy an external keyboard for it; it came with a keyboard, thank you very much.

   No, this is just iGenius and the Cult of Crapple displaying its hollowness.

   Frankly, those kids are better off without iJunk and the Walled Orchard.
