[LINK] London's burning and BlackBerry's in the firing line

[Tom Koltai]

It didn't take long for the media inquest into London's weekend of
rioting <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14434318>  to turn
towards technology. The British capital, if you missed it, was hit by a
series of violent revolts that span off from a protest about the death
of a man, Mark Duggan, who was shot by police in controversial
circumstances <http://news.sky.com/home/article/16045675> . But what
began as a peaceful demonstration quickly ran out of control, as angry
mobs started attacking police and looting stores at random. 
Continues.
