Apple... no wonder that company is just so chock full of fail. I always avoided them due to price and restrictions, but now - I'll avoid them on principle as well.
Go develop things and quit suing people over stupid stuff.
"That said, it does seem somewhat ironic that in trying to track down a group that has been taking down (somewhat random) websites, the FBI has also taken down a bunch of websites"
Yep, sounds like the FBI is more efficient at taking down sites than the hackers.
but who knows - maybe that was the goal of the 'hacker', lol.
Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose. The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history. –David Rockefeller
Yep - shouldn't be too much longer before we end up like this - or well, maybe revolt.
Don't even know enough about them to know why they are famous. Some things may not be worth the ACSII characters on the web. This may well be one of them.
"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson."

But as Apple puts more and more conditions on things
Since the first Macintosh computers - Apple has ALWAYS had this stance. It's not really a surprise. It's the core reason I avoid the company.
The OS and hardware are pretty cool, but the tyrannical attempts of control over customers are very UNcool.
No thanks, I'll continue to pass on anything that company produces. Not because I'm a M$ or Linux fanboi, I'm just a freedom zealot and a rebel. I don't like to be told what to do, in some cases.
At work or in the military - it's one thing. As a customer it's wholly another.
And being so completely out of the loop would also explain why you think anyone is calling for the dismantling of the FDA.
I wouldn't say a total dismantling would be good. We need an agency that protects the people from bad pharma.
But as it stands - we have no agency that does that now. Only one who takes lots of kickbacks from pharma - at least, that's the way it seems. It's amazing some of this garbage gets approved, but I guess it keeps trial lawyers busy.
Yeah and screw any idea of a vacation to Miami Beach. It's bad enough in that area. Now the police are as much of a thug force as any drug dealers in the area...

I'm so sick of this IP law BS that I'm about ready to just give up on 'media' in general. I'm by nature a gamer, but after my last couple purchases...
I went to Lowe's; bought an extension ladder, paint and started painting my house. I'm finding it much more rewarding than screwing with broken DRM.
