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 Zeromus2003 · Posted

      Not sure there is good value here.... the only real choice is 2GB w/ Controller since 1. 512GB would disappear fast based on today's PC game installs 2. Controller is back ordered until 2027. The appeal of playing PC games on TV (along with PS5) sounds interesting, but I am not too lazy to fire up the huge PC either. Not really sure this would be "worth" it.

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
