“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” This text is known as the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, and it is the one most commonly overlooked by our federal government. In regard to one issue in particular, four states in the past few months have taken it upon themselves to formally petition the comical tragedy, which is marijuana prohibition. Specifically, Vermont, Colorado, Rhode Island and Washington have asked the Drug Enforcement Agency to reclassify marijuana into the same category as medically approved drugs such as Morphine and Oxycodone in order to prevent federal interference in medical marijuana treatment.

Apple got off schedule in terms of an annual summer refresh cycle with the iPhone 4S, which launched instead in October, but the Cupertino-based company could be back on track this year, if the latest rumors pan out.

The information comes from “a reliable source” to 9to5Mac. Credence in the matter is given by the fact that the Apple-focused blog states that the source is the same one who told them late last summer that there would be no 2011 iPhone 5, but instead an iPhone 4S.

Live long and prosper, but not in this house. British nightclub DJ Tony Alleyne is being forced to move out of his apartment, which is bad enough, but far worse is that he’s being forced to leave his labor of love behind: the apartment had been rebuilt to resemble a starship from the “Star Trek” universe.

Alleyne, 58, spent a decade making the one-bedroom apartment look like something out of Star Trek. However, the apartment doesn’t belong to him, but to his ex-wife, and she wants to sell it.

It is really, really hard to play “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3″ when you are in jail. Thus, we have the tale of Kim Schmitz, also known as Kim Dotcom, the recently arrested chief of MegaUpload.com.

Schmitz was, up until a few days ago, the top ranked player in “Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 3;” that’s right, globally, at least among Xbox 360 players. As Megaracer, he has accumulated more than 185,000 in-game kills.

In a video posted on the Internet (embedded below) he plays for over seven hours straight, at the end of which he held the top spot on the Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) leaderboard.

In July, Megan Lawless married Jasper Jasperse, whom she met as a random opponent while playing the Scrabble-like game Words With Friends on her smartphone in 2009. At that time, Lawless, now 32, lived in Chicago while Jasperse, now 31, hailed from Amsterdam.

The couple gradually got to know each other through the game’s chat feature, Lawless tellsFast Company.

Like many Words With Friends players, Lawless has never considered herself a gamer, but she said she loves the word game because “it is about interacting with people …. Like most people, I have friends and family all over the world, and this game allows me to play and chat with those I rarely get a chance to talk to, but I know they are going to play their turn. And it’s fun.”

Last Friday, pod2G and the Chronic Dev team released Absinthe A5, the first untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. If you’re wondering if there was pent-up jailbreaking demand for those devices, the answer would be yes: more than 1 million people downloaded the jailbreak in less than three days.

An untethered jailbreak means you no longer need to cable and re-jailbreak a device every time it boots. The Absinthe A5 jailbreak was first released to Mac OS X only, but now has Windows and Linux flavors, as well.

The adidas JS Instinct Hi is definitely something unique. Jeremy Scott‘s design is oversized, but it also features large branding and signature striping detail to match.

This version of the shoe sports several different animal prints, as well as some loud hues including red, green, blue, pink, purple, and orange, all of which are anchored and toned down by a black sole.

Nike introduced a new wristband gadget to measure not only running but any kind of body movement.

NIKE+ FuelBand, the Oregon-based company says its website, captures and displays time, calories, steps and — the key selling point of the $149 gizmo — NikeFuel.

NikeFuel is “a new metric that will be the ultimate measure of your athletic activity. NikeFuel is a proprietary technology that measures your activity through the movement of your wrist …the more you move, the more NikeFuel you earn, whether you’re playing basketball, throwing a Frisbee or going for a run.”

New York and New Jersey are both moving forward with plans to comply with the national health care law, which would extend coverage to the uninsured by 2014.

An analysis by The Associated Press shows 13 states have adopted a plan to comply with the law. New York and New Jersey are among 17 states making headway.

States must have their plans ready for federal approval by Jan. 1, 2013, or risk having federal oversight of their health care.

An important part of the law calls for health insurance exchanges, new one-stop supermarkets with online and landline capabilities for those who buy coverage individually.
