Because when you turn on the computer for the first time, he'll be able to get back into the laptop and watch your little brother and sister surf the Web - and even get a photo of you standing behind your brother as he mugs on the camera on the stolen computer.

Josh Bob's report on the dumber-than-bricks robber and siblings who have been using his laptops since the guy lifted it out of his car on Brookline Avenue on Tuesday is quite the tale. He has one video of the kid brother in a video chat, and another video that shows that kid with an older guy - possibly the thief - standing behind him (along with dear old mom).

Craig Goedecke reports on a protest planned for this coming Wednesday at the State House against a bill that would reduce the amount of tax credits available for moviemakers in Massachusetts:

... While the bill does not eliminate the film tax credit, it is equally disastrous.

Let’s show them "FILM CREDITS=JOBS"!!! THE MORE PEOPLE THAT ATTEND THIS… THE STRONGER WE BECOME!THE BATTLE FOR HOLLYWOOD EAST BEGINS NOW! ...
