I read that she said she would ask for a recount in battleground states if she could raise the money. I wouldn't be shocked to see her suddenly get that money and make the request, for exactly the reasons you stated. HRC couldn't do it without claims of hypocritical politicking, but Stein's already considered a bit kooky, so what has she got to lose?

The big story IS the apparent fact* that the Russians are behind this. No, that doesn't mean the content shouldn't be reported, or that it's not itself a big story, because of course it is. But Russians hacking the DNC, releasing info to WL and then setting up a false flag "lone hacker" story is absolutely massive.
*Plenty of credible evidence points at the Russians. Where is your alleged evidence that does not?
Gawker has a number of media properties that are nothing like the Gawker that published the Hulk Hogan sex tape. None of which is relevant to this, of course. You deciding Gawker isn't journalism, or Peter Thiel deciding that...it's just a bad precedent. What if Trump decides HuffPo has to go? What if Soros decides he hates Reason? The inevitable end to this story is not a good one.
The issue with Music Freedom, or whatever they call it...I get it. Smaller, lesser-known or newer music service providers are at a disadvantage. Binge On is something different. Consumers agree to a lower-res video stream in order for it to not count against the data budget. Any video stream provider can potentially be included if they choose to. Tmo is not playing gatekeeper here, or artificially playing favorites, if they're giving consumers a boon for allowing a lower-res stream, and making that plan available to all providers.
They asked for the code, and were given it. Unless they were specifically instructed to only use it in the restaurant, which is doubtful, or if they continued to use it after being asked to stop, there is no case for claiming that they exceeded authorized access.
You don't understand how daily fantasy games work. The "insider" information they have pertains to the vast amount of info they've compiled about who the public (players of daily fantasy) are picking for their teams. To win at this thing, that is vital information. It's not just sports stats and performance.
It bothers me that Fox settled in any way. It's a bad precedent that at the very least, allows Exxon to save face, and they really should not be allowed to do that here.
While I know all that is written here is true, and I should be really annoyed at this, I still can't help but be a little amused that it's Apple that got caught in the snare. Apple, with their army of litigation-happy patent attorneys. Maybe we can roll back Bayh-Dole AFTER they pay up?
But Gosling isn't selling "Dark n Stormies," they're selling rum. How could anyone else who is using that cause marketplace confusion? Unless Gosling is selling these pre-mixed, I don't see it.
I have it and it's great, but their PC version is significantly far behind their Apple version, which is annoying. Of course, it was more annoying at $45 than it would be at $19, so there's that...
The really dumb thing about all of this is that, had Sony asked Virag if they wanted to pay a small product placement fee to get their logo in the racing game, they very well may have done so, for the same reason they pay a very large fee to display their logos on the actual tracks. This knee-jerk reaction to no one formalizing an agreement is beyond idiotic, and not at all in their best interests as a business.
I just flew with my kid, and stupidly packed his entire Nerf arsenal in a bag that I then decided to carry on, with the cunning plan of getting it checked for free due to a full flight. That worked, actually, but not before we were delayed while TSA searched the bag, then sternly informed me that they "search everything that looks like a gun." I have no problem with that actually, it was my screw-up...but it was funny, and they didn't confiscate anything.
Disruptive? If this isn't the worst use of an already worn-out buzzword yet, I don't know what is...we couldn't have thrown a paradigm shift in there too, while we're at it?
As an author, technically, I'm offended by their insinuation that they speak for me, or have my interests at heart. As was stated already, this is a mouthpiece for legacy distribution models, pure and simple, so of course they're crapping their pants over ebook success...
