Oh dear, my irony detector circuits just over-loaded.
"The first challenge for plaintiffs will be to establish that Apple even had a duty, or an obligation, to take steps to prevent their products from being used in an attack in the first place. "

What's to stop Verizon, Time-Warner or Comcast from merging with a foreign broadband company, then sueing the US to win against FCC net neutrality in a ISDS action?
For years, the CIA and NSA were trying to intercept Bin Laden's communications, inspecting almost all of the data going though the Internet. The only class of files that was not examined was porn - there is so much porn on the Internet that it was too staggering to sort through it all, even for the combined resources of the NSA/CIA.
Now that they do have that porn, they must analyze it and find the hidden messages and learn how all this was done.
The brave, dedicated men at the CIA have been doing this night after night, racking up massive overtime watching and reading this material repeatedly.
Could ordinary men pull this off? No sir, but these are special men, hardened by years of experience. No jerks here!

The Time Warner BS (Burger Shack) has announced a menu featuring new item choices. Customers will be able to order either
1) a basic burger (consisting of patty, bun and mayo) or
2) the big package burger (which adds mustard, relish, bacon, cream cheese, fried egg, mushrooms, lettuce. jalapenos and chili sauce) and comes with fries, onion rings and a super-sized strawberry-rhubarb shake, or
3) a whole side of beef flame roasted to very-well-done.
Substitutions, additions or deletions are not allowed.
Said Dinesh C. Jain, chief operating officer of Time Warner BS: “I think a lot of the times, customers don’t want to get bogged down in a lot of choices to make on those kinds of things. There’s a lot of value in our triple-play packaging right now and it’s a simpler sale."
The City Council has established a Fee Schedule of Fines for 'defamatory and detrimental' comments.
