"One might think that a country that was built by the immigration of people with skills might welcome more such people. Another might counter that current immigration law is, in many respects, similar to current corporate support for useless and burdensome regulation. A means by which those who think that they have "got theirs" use government to pull up the drawbridge after them."
Those who came before = good. Those who come after = bad. Rent seeking is good when you are the one collecting the rent.
The car is losing its appeal for the younger generation. Specifically, they want to text and play with their phones. If you want to attract great, young talent to your city, focus on transit.
With my 3 1/2 year old twins, if it doesn't exist on Netflix, it doesn't exist at all. Congrats Disney! You lost two viewers who are in the habit forming peak of their existence!
I certainly would not be surprised to hear at some point that either he "voluntarily" withdraws from this debate or that the MPAA goes on a smear campaign saying that he is just a shill. Oh sweet irony...
An even more elementary benefit to asking those "skilled in the art" isn't that they'll explain why it's obvious, but that they will simply say, "Someone is already doing it."
It seems like many people assume that if you patent something, that is the first time it has ever happened. What a ridiculous assumption!
Wait, what US laws require that videos be taken down? There was no copyright infringement. They were videos showing how to get free apps by utilizing an exploit. No different than the millions of videos showing how to root your Android or jailbreak your iPhone, both of which are legal.
I know the above article isn't about Samsung. I was however point out that Apple is lawyering this situation and pointing out that they love lawyering everything they do. I pointed out that the Samsung is a prominent situation in which they lawyer the shit out of shit.
It is about competition (or lack thereof) with Samsung. Apple wants to lawyer its way around problems. With Samsung, it wants to use the ITC and patent office to stifle competition. With this hacker, instead of confronting the hacker and working out a solution, it wants to pull youtube videos, shutdown websites, and other passive "fixes".
It is relevant, Wally. The joke was that Apple won't talk directly to this hacker and instead is trying to plug holes in the least efficient way possible. This guy is taking advantage of them, just like they take advantage of their users.
"what's stopping Alexy from selling your personal information to spammers?"
What's stopping Apple from selling your personal information to spammers? I guess I fail to see the point here.
And Apple doesn't sell your info to advertisers? While sort of true, they are more than happy to harvest your info and sell iAds to developers. Same difference.
As for the Samsung comment, Apple doesn't like competing in a straight-forward manner against Samsung (hence patent suits and injunctions), just like it doesn't want to take a straight-forward approach to this dude who is taking advantage of their security flaws.
