    I think the morning news broadcast I am watching is an informercial for Apple. Everyone in the studio has their own laptop or iPad, and the guy on the scene is holding up his iPad for the camera.

    Public transit shut down, schools are not going to open, it's for lack of a better word a total lockdown. Hope they find the guy soon and no one else gets hurt.

    NBC released their names but I didn't catch the spelling so am not even going to try. Also reporting that they are 19 and 20 year old brothers, are Chechen but may have lived in Turkey before coming to the US, were legal permanent residents of the US.

    Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, is reportedly the surviving suspect.

    I've had MSNBC on the TV and satellite radio for 90 minutes and I've yet to hear a complete description of the vehicle they're looking for. Do you think providing a license plate number might be helpful? Someone's dropping the ball here.

    Clearly NBC knows where the suspects are from but reporters keep passing the buck to Pete Williams who also seemed afraid to
    report.

    So the dead one isn't Tripathi after all?

    Dead one was never him. He was rumored to be Suspect 2 before NBC said that's not right.

    Got it.

    So, do we invade Chechnya now?
