Remotely uninstalling malicious software from an unsuspecting persons machine is a dick move? If someone was passing out cupcakes and put one on your desk without asking, would you call that a dick move also?
If their secret ingredient to give things a little tang was antifreeze, then yes.
that the even more lucrative Xbox hacking project is still underway Given the massively large pot of gold in them thar Xbox hills, the hacking may be slow, but the Chinese government / Russian Mafia is patient.
The implied threat is of course: 'do illegal stuff for us, or the rest of your business before the government vis-a-vis accuisitions and regulation will not go well for you'.
I have to wonder if the US security organs or the MAFIAA (is writing both now redundant?) occasionally attempt undercover work in such 'dens of inequity'.
The way Comcast will compete is not by continuing to improve their network, or improving product or cutting prices, but by lowering bandwidth caps further.
AFAIK, there is no evidence that the tower data is being transmitted anywhere, so it is reasonable for Apple to say that they don't track anyone.
They are merely selling access to this 'local' database to both apps and more importantly to advertisers for 'local' targeting. That this database is also a treasure trove to police state security organs is just a beneficial corporate consequence.
Or do they intend to use 'ipv6 is too hard / expensive' as an excuse to convert every broadband users' comp into dumb terminal playing 'Mother May I', where DNS = ISP and every request is logged and shared with the FBI and the MAFIAA.
I've had three Seagates crash on me (note to self: stop buying OEMs from NewEgg!) so I switched to WD only to have one crash within the year (thankfully still under warranty). Hard drive quality is seemingly worse - either 1 TB is just too damn big to be reliable or they've all given up trying as they see their SSD doom on the horizon.
For a stand-alone application, there's nothing wrong with 10 year old computers. Or 20 year old computers, for that matter. DOS still works as well as it ever did.
that the EFF hasn't posted the code on their site and begun publicly starting up where Geohot left off. If they want this issue settled once and for all, they clearly don't need Geohot; just his work. Sony is clearly in the wrong, but perhaps even the EFF gets a little weak in the knees in the face of nearly limitless lawyering-up.

The police state insists on back doors so if they choose, they can back door you.
Sooner or later, someone's gonna refuse to wash the Peoples's Truck.
We have too many lawyers anyway.
it should be Visa and Mastercard. I doubt Discover would; they're just happy to be finally noticed by scammers.

Leggo! I can't afford new ones!
I will get flamed, but how many folks get a PhD because academia is the only real employment path for the specialized field they've chosen?
See? The free market works! USA! USA!

of the three you mention are a confirmed branch of the NSA.
there are customers to be betrayed.
Meaning: they want to stay in business, so they will happily dance to the tune called by any tin badge.

the worse the abuse can become, to the point if they want you dead, dead you shall be.

It has internect connectivity and a Netflix client. A Woot refurb for $60, IIRC.
Can't wait to see what the 4chan / Anon crowds dream up.
I can actually see your suspenders and beard.

Let's look at the commensurate Chinese data...I'm sure it must be here...umm....hmm. I'll go look under the couch. BRB.
I don't know what would be worse: you in the navy, or you in a doctors' smock.
