Gorbachev doesn't want to put in

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has denounced new laws passed in Russia as an "attack on citizens' rights". In an interview with the BBC, he called on President Vladimir Putin "not to be afraid of his own people". Mr Gorbachev also criticised Mr Putin's inner circle, saying it was full of "thieves and corrupt officials". The laws passed by Putin include fines for organising unsanctioned protests, stiffer libel penalties, a wider definition of treason, and restrictions on websites. But enough about that because in what tech giant Apple is calling a “major leap forward” for one of its most beloved products, the company announced recently that it would begin selling a new version of its popular iPad tablet with an extra attached storage drawer. “Featuring a stunning 9.7-inch Retina display, super-fast wireless performance, and a 5-inch-deep pull-out drawer, the iPad 4D is our most high-performance model to date,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a press release, adding that the sleek new drawer has a stainless-steel handle and comes in either white or black. “With slick ball-bearing slides and an ultra-light frame, the 4D can easily carry photographs, pens, calculators, legal pads, iPhones, and other personal belongings. Life just got a whole lot better, iPad users.” So next time you decide to get a tablet, get the one with the drawer. You'll thank me later.
