Sucks to be someone of middle-eastern descent when things like this happen. People hurting look for someone to blame, and after 9/11, it's easy to see how someone might get pointed out if only for the color of their skin.

Anyway, conspiracy theorists are going wild. Meanwhile, 4chan comes up with this:

Stupid as it may look, it's interesting seeing people try to pick apart something/anything to find out who's responsible.

How about the Guy in the Camo. hat a few feet away with a very large backpack for an older man (it seems he has white hair) to be carrying.

The backpack/dufflebag had to have been at least pressure cooker sized and heavy. If it was indeed a pressure cooker style bomb.

Its very sad that this **** has to happen in a modern society. Why cant people just get along??? I hate having to look over my shoulder when i go to the city but you have no choice. There are animals out there trying to hurt everyone. :cry:

you want to know why we can't just get along? it's because of religious and political disputes. in this modern age religion does more to pull us apart than anything. and as far as politics goes, at least here in the US, the fact that there are only 2 main parties splits our country in half

all i see are close up videos of the first bomb with the second in the background. wheres videos of the second? Its kinda pathetic that officials are so desperate for video and pictures, looking at peoples cell phones at the airport...? they probably are clueless.

The first bomb was at the finish line, with two viewing platforms. It's not surprising that there is a lot of video from that site. There were even news crews stationed there filming in the street.

The second location is down the road near nothing remarkable (as far as the marathon goes), and everyone running at that point was at 4+ hours, it wasn't like it was the final sprint for the elite runners. If you wanted video of a friend finishing, you'd be recording down the road.

I sincerely hope the FBI hunts down whoever did this and I hope whoever it is, resists arrest so they can put 3 caps down their throat. This is an act of pure evil and deserves no mercy, only execution as punishment for hurting all those innocent people.

I think there was a video on reddit that showed second blast from a camera used by an athlete who happened to be near it .

Black backpacks and skin color.

The FBI should hire 4chan, they got it allllll figured out.

A few hours after the attacks there was mention of someone with dark skin wearing a hoodie carrying a suspicious number of backpacks around that area.

Hard to say what's known at this point. I live in the area, there are cops going all over the place, but they're also just going around en masse inspecting everything remotely threatening, not to mention they searched that poor Saudi kids apartment just because he was Saudi.

Crowd sourcing. It's a great idea.

It's not just 4chan, but it's hardly shocking that a gathering of technically capable people have had some success(?) with this >.<

This. 4chan/Anonymous/Reddit and other communities may not be the most favored, but they've all seriously contributed towards turning in criminals as the Internet works to hunt down bad people. In some cases, well before even the police can.

Some people are eager to call them ridiculous though, when meanwhile, you have big names in media throwing blatant lies and so forth. I can't blame a man for trying, and if there's a chance, no matter how small it may be that it actually leads to something, then by all means go ahead.

I don't like 4Chan normally, but these images do show the possible perpetrators. Have these images been sent to the authorities yet?

I promise they've seen them.

The US security/intel bodies are unlikely to miss anything related to this event.

Care to back that statement up with facts?

Uh, the fact that both the BPD and the Saudi government have identified him as a victim of the bomb attack, and the BPD admits they have no suspects, but someone thought it was prudent to search his apartment anyway?

I dunno man. I mean, you don't think these people could be looking for their friends? Or possibly talking to them? And going through their bags is suspicious too? So if I left university with my textbooks in my bag (accounting for the weight) and I also had a bottle of water in there, I was digging for then I'd automatically be a suspect?

The marathon course is lined with people a) walking around and not stopping b) carrying bags and c) moving in and out of crowds to get to see the road.

So, yes, per amateur inter-sleuths, everyone is a suspect. But, it looks like the authorities have identified someone: http://www.boston.com/metrodesk/2013/04/17/boston-medical-center-reports-five-year-old-boy-critical-condition-victims-treated-from-boston-marathon-bombings/gkKXBTqL2jyNhsC2Kz5GyO/story.html

Possible suspect? http://edition.cnn.c....html?hpt=hp_t2

[Original story, posted at 1:11 p.m. Wednesday]

(CNN) -- Investigators believe they have identified a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, a source who has been briefed on the investigation told CNN's John King exclusively.

The breakthrough came from analysis of video from a department store near the site of the second explosion. Video from a Boston television station also contributed to the progress, said the source, who declined to be more specific but called it a significant development.

Earlier, a federal law enforcement source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation told CNN that a lid to a pressure cooker thought to have been used in the bombings had been found on a roof of a building near the scene.

While such clues may move the investigation forward, they did not reveal whether the attack was an act of domestic or foreign terrorism.

I'd say in a case like this nearly everyone is a suspect until the real one is caught. I have no problem with that either.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The $1,428 option The Steam Hardware lineup that Valve announced last year is slowly starting to roll out. Following the recent Steam Controller launch, Valve has now confirmed the price of the Steam Machine, its all-in-one console-like solution for PC gaming in the living room. There are currently four variants being presented, with only the storage and the included controller being the biggest differences. All of the Steam Machines have the same internals consisting of a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 CPU with six cores and 12 threads, an RDNA 3 28CU GPU, 16GB of DDR5 memory, and 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, all inside the familiar box Valve has been showing off for months now. The Steam Machine base model starts at $1,049. This has a 512GB NVMe SSD but does not come with a Steam Controller. Keep in mind that storage can be expanded with the microSD card slot too. Next, the $1,128 model has the exact same storage as the previous one but it does come with the new Steam Controller. If you need the Steam Machine to have more storage for games and apps than that, then the 2TB tiers are also available. The $1,349 Steam Machine has no controller once again, but it does ship with two extra faceplates (red fabric and solid walnut) to replace the standard black one. The final option costs $1,428, and it adds the controller back into the bundle. The Steam Machine ships with the Linux-based SteamOS. The box has a 1 Gigabit Ethernet port, DisplayPort 1.4, and HDMI 2.0, as well as one USB-C and four USB-A ports. Keep in mind that when purchasing standalone, the Steam Controller has a $100 price tag. With the above bundles, that drops to $80. It's a rather expensive machine for the internals it is touting, though the design and small form factor do help it somewhat. However, at the same time, the lack of upgradability hurts it. Valve says the ongoing parts shortages and massive price hikes for memory were the leading causes for this price. "The overall effect is that our original goal for the price of Steam Machine is no longer viable," added the company. "So the prices we're sharing today reflect the state of the world for manufacturing; or, more accurately, it reflects the price of the components as we've secured them over the past 6 months." Valve wants interested gamers to reserve it now to get the chance to pre-order a Steam Machine starting June 25, with shipping starting on June 29. Head here to sign up. The invites to buy it will be sent in a randomized order.

      What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, Natural gas plants use about 2,803 gallons of water per megawatt-hour produced, which is significantly less than coal-fired plants that use around 19,185 gallons per megawatt-hour. Overall, natural gas plants are more water-efficient, using 584% less water than traditional power plants on average. AI generated
