Are you seriously claiming The Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation is going to be pushing anything other than a maximilist view? I think I'll vote that 'funny'...
Yep, the suicide story's a great way to demonise Apple. You hear about the high number of suicides at Foxconn, but the massive number of employees tends to get left out of that discussion. In fact Foxconn's staff suicide rate is far less than China's average. Im sure their working conditions are shocking compared to what we're used to, but they do actually seem to be less suicidal than the rest of the country.
"Nice to know he'll be coming for an extended stay soon."

"So, yes, if you try to stiff "competition" by pretending to be the other manufacturer, then you should pay dearly for your failed scam."
When you say "pretending to be the other manufacturer", you mean the way they printed 'Fluke' all over the multimeter and its packaging right? Oh no wait, they didn't!
Are you seriously implying someone looking to by a Fluke is going to mistakenly buy this $15 one instead? Are you really saying Fluke buyers are that dumb?
What was the threat here? If the ATF had done nothing, no crime would've occurred. Crime would have been prevented by their lack of action. How is this not cops manufacturing threats? Explain your backwards logic to us please.
"A damn YOUTUBE VIDEO from my computer often times looks better than an upscaled DVD on my bluray player. It's as if my computer knows how to upscale stuff properly."
Lots of YouTube videos are 1080p resolution, so its no surprise that they can look better than an upscaled DVD.
Thanks for pointing out what everybody already knows, and exactly why car buyers want manufacturers to be able to sell directly to them. I doubt there'd be much sympathy for dealers struggling to compete after decades of gouging the car-buying public.
Well you're obviously a pretty big fan of the NSA, so why don't you explain to us why you think secret mass surveillance of the public is such a good thing, and anyone who threatens that is a douche.
"They are just behaving as any playground bully does when they find out they have something someone else wants an start playing keep-away with it.
While Russia are due plenty of criticism right now, it's not for this. Russia are not keeping Snowden there, they're simply letting him stay. The USG are the ones preventing him from leaving Russia thanks to a cancelled passport.
