Even Michael Jackson's Like, "Damn!"

Ah the amazing things technology has ushered into our lives over the past five years: The increase in medical technologies leading to early treatment of disease; mobile technology that allows people to work from home while raising families; ten different ESPNs; the ability to have child pornography on a handheld MP3 player that you can take to other degenerates houses and watch said smut on their computer. Um, nix that last one. Here's where we go all network news on you, cue haunting music, "There are predators in your neighborhood. Find out who they are and what you can do to blah blah blah (something inspiring fear). Tomorrow at 11."

[from the Statesman]:

A San Marcos man has been indicted on nine counts of possession of child pornography, in part because of the explicit images police recovered from his iPod portable music player. Ron James Guzman, 38, also was indicted Wednesday by a Hays County grand jury on six counts of promotion of child pornography, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said. Last spring, the state's Cyber Crimes Unit got a search warrant for Guzman's home, where they discovered an iPod that contained video images of child pornography. He was arrested Jan. 11, Abbott's office said in a press release. The Attorney General's office said that Guzman's iPod could not display video, but could store video that could be played back on a computer.
