Sometimes you hear about eBay pulling auctions and you think, really? Was that really necessary? Like when they pulled Scandinavian photographer Jimmy Wixtrom’s auction of Usain Bolt’s Olympic camera because it violated their charitable auction code; which many of us feel was kinda stupid and a little bit pointless.
However, there are other occasions when you hear of stuff being axed from the site and you’ve got give eBay a pat on their electronic backs and say ‘good call mate’. The axing of the auction of a James Holmes Rubber Halloween Mask is one of these occasions; you would have to search pretty far to find someone who doesn’t think that it is extremely bad taste indeed.

Security technologist and established author Bruce Schneier wrote a brilliantly insightful article for CNN about how we as people react to catastrophic events like the Aurora Massacre and why it is important not to let “fear cloud our reasoning” in the wake of terrible events.
Schneier points out that a terrible event like the mass shooting that took place at the Aurora cinema a few weeks ago, can be “catalysts for social and political change.” However he also points out that fear can often cloud our ability to reason and therefore causes us to focus on the specifics of the incident rather than the broader issues in question.

Police investigators and the media have spent the last few days putting together a profile of James Holmes, the man who shocked America when he opened fire on movie goers at a crowded showing of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado. Holmes, who was masked and wearing a bullet proof vest, used a semi-automatic AR-15, a Remington 870 shotgun and a 40 caliber Glock handgun to carry out the terrifying attack which left 12 dead and more than 50 injured on Thursday night.
According the latest reports, Holmes, 24, had recently dropped out of his PHD neuroscience course at the University of Colorado and because of this, he was facing eviction from his apartment.
His neighbors told TMZ that to stay in that particular apartment complex, you have to be enrolled at the university and they are very strict about this policy, regularly carrying out stringent checks.
