You know, considering the amount of people who download this crap just to "have the warez" on their computers, regardless of what it does, you're probably not far from the truth.
The "volunteer" part of "all volunteer army" doesn't mean what you think it does.
I'm not a member of the military, never have been, nor am I a cheerleader for them, but if you don't clamp down on things like troops going AWOL or deserting in a military, you needn't bother depending on them at all.
One could argue that the reason why leaders like Fidel Castor and Kim Song Il aren't assassinated or gotten rid of in some way is because they help, indirectly, to give the Military Industrial Complex a reason to exist.
But that would be just crazy, and I certainly wouldn't try and espouse it.
Like I continue to say -- all it would've taken was a look at the codebase, as Apple apparently doesn't do. I'm not talking about the front-facing UI of the app -- I couldn't care less.
A halfway competent programmer would've been able to take one look at the code for this "flashlight app" and seen that it wasn't what it claimed to be.
"Comprehensive" apparently means a different thing to Apple than it does to the rest of the world, eh. I'd imagine it means they'd check the code. Apparently, as with the magic flashlight-tethering app, it doesn't.
I'd much rather they spend that time looking at the code rather than making sure the app doesn't have "teh boobz" so that Jobs' delicate humors won't be upset.
As we've seen from the "colored flashlight app that's really a tethering app," I don't know why people are still putting their trust in Apple's "approval" process as far as safety is concerned. They obviously don't check the code behind an app -- today it's a tethering app, tomorrow it's one that's sending your data to China (if it doesn't already exist, and I'd be surprised if it didn't).
BetterPrivacy [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6623/] helps with the Flash cookies, at least. Server-side stuff we're just going to have to live with, because even if they pass a law, there's no way to prove anyone's tracking you that way.
I'm guessing there's some sort of copyright police that'll come to the aid of the lowly CC license user, then? Because otherwise, it seems pretty similar.:(
Well, you could "hide" them on a Blackberry, but they were still there. Was easy to uninstall them, though you had to go into the "modules" options instead of "applications" to uninstall the T-Mobile installed crap. Never quite figured that out... why does MySpace _need_ to be on my Blackberry, T-Mobile?
Thing is, the Tea Party folks don't _really_ want "smaller" government -- they just want "different" government. As soon as Republicans are back in power, all this talk about "smaller" government will disappear almost overnight.

Welcome to America!
why _would_ someone include an .exe file for a cracked Mac program? :\
I think you'll find that most people's definition of what a "netbook" is revolves around price/size, not specs.

More profits from them? Compared to making sure that novice cell phone users have to buy a specific $0.50 charger from them for $20? Surely you jest.
He he -- you're funny.

You make it seem as if Iraq is going to be completely undefended or something. In reality, there's the Iraqi military and police forces, right?
Let's have a little bit of faith in them, okay.
No... Google doesn't "screen" applications, nor claims to.
Try again.

don't bother using it? IANAL, but isn't that how stuff like trademarks work? If you don't defend it, you're giving away the right to use it?
And start paying developers to make things in OpenCL instead of CUDA, or they're going to be quickly left behind.

Or just play some STALKER. Guns are frustratingly real in that game.

No, he'll doom the company! Stop!
