Explosion at Boston Marathon *NSFW IMAGES*


Recommended Posts

When they catch the person/people responsible for this, and they will, there shouldnt be a trial. They should be promptly executed. They gave no thought to killing/injuring others, and probably enjoyed it, so why should their rights be protected.

Anyway, glad none of my family in the Boston area were around there. Sorry for all the people who were tho.

Their rights should be protected because that's the difference between animals like the person that did this and a functional society.

His actions are so repulsive for just this reason, we shouldn't join him in this.

If people do bad things to people because people did bad things to people then Society is getting pretty well nowhere. Besides, for all you know, we'd be doing them a huge favor.

Just look at who posted that video on Youtube: NWOTruthChannel....

nuff said.

I don't want to get into a whole separate debate, however to be 100% fair that image (original + zoom in) didn't originate from the "NWOTruthChannel" channel. I have seen it scattered around the web since around 30 minutes after I heard it happened.

You know there are plenty of armchair professionals around.

But yes, let's don't get into a whole separate debate.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no conspiracy theorist, he just looks very suspicious, the way his back his arched made him look very calm and not running. This was just after the first explosion too.

If you notice, he has no direct LOS to the blasts, so he could not have seen them go off. Conspiracy theory. Nice try though :)

why do we have to have a conspiracy theory pop up for literally everything anymore.. this is one bad thing about the internet..... everyone pushes stuff as truth with no proof.. this is almost as stupid as the Obama reptilian alien secret service the other week

I have a friend from Boston who's also a member of Neowin. I really hope he's okay!

Prayers to the victims and their families, by the way.

Update: he's fine. I contacted him outside of Neowin (via texting on his cell). :)

He's a sweet guy, heh.

I think the picture of the man with most of his leg blown away really captures the horror of the attack. Too often those who are injured get overlooked, with everybody focusing on the number of fatalities. It's hard to imagine what going through that must be like but it certainly wouldn't be easy. :no:

that picture makes me shudder... seeing bones sticking out and the main veins dangling *shudders* poor guy

I hadn't noticed the veins until you mentioned it, though I didn't spend a huge amount of time looking at the picture (it's pretty harrowing).

It was pretty crowdy over there

I thought this was pretty odd

not really that odd, everyone cheering is very loud if you've been to a marathon its hard to hear anything... if you are at ground level that is all you hear, go above people it starts to dull out how the sound travels plays a big role in that... the TV cameras where either in the road or above the level of most people, so they got hit by the sound wave pretty well... you are a person at ground level, it gets drowned out pretty easily

Amen. The days after I lost my right leg were indescribable. Wouldn't wish if on anyone.

What angers me is I've already got several friends on Facebook asking what country was responsible for this. As if America is somehow dissolved of all evil persons. We're so good at pointing the finger, never looking in the mirror. Some of the people making these comments have wished will-ill on our President in the past. Just absolutely baffles me...

I'm not one to cling to the news and follow minute-by-minute coverage so I'll just say that I'm really saddened by what happened. Sad for Boston. Sad for the folks participating/cheering at the marathon. Truly heinous act.

That article is still quoting 12 dead, a third explosion, and other nonsense we now know not to be true...

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.

    • "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?
    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
