  3. Re:Curious how you reached $1200 when max is $949. by RenderSeven · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Android Users More Honest and Humble Than iPhone Users, Study Says (www.bgr.in)
    PP says in other comments he is in Canada. According to Cantech the price is (or was):

    iPhone 6 Price in Canada Without Contract and the iPhone 6s 64GB Price in Canada
    “Canadian pricing for iPhone 6s Plus $1,029 (CAD) for 16GB model, $1,159 (CAD) for 64GB model and $1,289 (CAD) for 128GB model (no contract).”

    The drop in the Canadian dollar to an 11-year low is surely partly responsible. And nothing against your valid point. But $1200 is not wrong either.

    I wondered, why the hate for Elon Musk? So I googled it: http://www.cantechletter.com/2...

    He's head of 3 technology companies that are currently in the news, so suprise, news articles about him and his companies are showing up on a technology news site. Get over it.

  5. Re:Nortel: victim of industrial espionage? by Maow · · Score: 1 · on Nortel Executives Found Not Guilty On Fraud Charges

    Nortel was subject to an organized, sustained industrial espionage effort conducted by Chinese companies. Huawei was specifically named by Brian Shields, Systems Security Advisor for Nortel at the time of the attacks (at the time Huawei supposedly were even copying Nortel's instruction manuals). Shields petitioned Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 2004, because even the CEO's computer had been compromised.

    The rootkits employed on Nortel hardware were sophisticated enough to survive formatting. it wasn't until recently that Canadian Security and Intelligence Service became interested in the role Huawei had in Nortel's demise

    I suggest the story of Nortel's demise has not been fully revealed. Nortel presented with a sudden, public exanguination and it has been a mystery in Canadian IT industry. This is not just another "golden parachutes" story.

    Thank you for posting these links in one convenient location. I'm working my way through them and ... just ... "Wow".

    I was vaguely aware of some of the allegations previously, but not the extent of them.

    I've considered us to be engaged in a "cyber-war" for quite a while, but still there's more I have to do to lock down my systems.
