They stole his phone and in the end he is apologising for writing that the thieve is a Portorican. Maybe he would have made the same if it was a black or arab but maybe not for not a white... Politically correctness is madness, and america is very VERY ill.
It is easy to get confused in this matter because we are talking about Steve Jobs, who seems a pretty smart and decent guy anyway. How about if we replace Steve with Ken Lay, should 'Kenny Boy' receive a much higher level of medical care than somebody who choose to be a librarian rather than a 'business tycoon'?
It's not surprising that an American company errs on the side of individual freedom while a European company is more inclined to favor an approach that relies on systems.
Come on!!! All american fighter jets have FlyByWire commands.... The technology itself was invented in the USA!!!
I am not a physicist but i respectfully I think that the possibility for the plane to be taken down by superman is much higher than the meteor hypotesis.
First label them with random labels such as "Child Porn", "Gangbang Demo", "My michael Jackson music collection", "Best of Metallica", "Old Napster", "NewContryLawyer incriminating evidence" and then put some random material downloaded from the Pirate Bay and some porn of your choice of course.
Then it comes the brilliant suggestion: Load and install on them the nastiest malware you can find on the web,don't install the same malware on all disks, be creative and be sure that it's current. It should go undetected by the average computer user in a corporate environment: a idiot, word-excel monkey, 35-70 Years Old with absolutely no idea nor interest in how computer works.
Finally head to this address and leave some of the disks in the starbucks most visided by lawyers, make sure they look like forgotten. Places like toilets and the water dispenser are a must.
For additional fun label part of the disks as "PAYBACK" and leave them at starbucks at this address.
Good Fun, your family wouldn't be happy this chrismast but we will be much gratefull !
170 Comments and still no-one has linked this datacenter to the coming MacTablet and the mobile ME. What about the tablet operates mostly on internet??
Well... I do run also THAT OS that does not yet need much attention, but I have installed a active firewall on it (built in option is too lax to configure, i prefer little snitch).
For the other leaky OS I use ZoneAlarm Free and Free-Av (avira)+ regular updates. Some virus yet manages it's way to the Temp directory but does not get executed.
I go as far as telling you that also the victims should be punished for leaving their machines wildly exposed to the botnet. Guess all of them they were running un-updated OS, without antivirus and/or firewall. Since it's obvious that these bots are used also in criminal attacks against other people (DDOS - Spamming - further botnet spreading) I don't see them as victims but more like accomplices.
If you are not willing to learn how to safely use a computer you shouldn't have one, just stick to a iPhone or other toys (Internet tablets).
To sum it up a Theft produces a reduction in a STOCK.
Since digital material can be reproduced at will in perfect copies there is no stock to steal from...then there is no crime. Added to this to make a profit you need scarcity of source and a imperfect market. That's the reason why the corporate oligopolist of MAFIAA live in a frenzy of terror since when the recording tape has been invented. No wonder they pay big money to twart common sense, 200 years of economic theories and... law.
It has to be pointed out that a imperfect market harms the consumers, competition and progress. Also it has to be pointed out that amongs politicians there are several psicopats that would prefer living as rich in a poors contry rather than working for the common good. Sad news that putting them in power it's your fault.
There is plenty of free, good non-RIAA audio nowadays, too!
I wish people to add some more to these messages, it could be more funny for the casual reader to look for websites of interest in the discussion. For instance:
RAND members should be shot on the spot for propagating this crap as factual thruth under the "objective Analysis" label. The only objective thing is that they are paid by MPAA.
Unfortunately ours is not a very elinghtened society...
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
Aluminium is 100% recyclable it would be a 200% waste. 100% because you waste the energy needed for production and another 100$ because you need to separate it from other elements and then refine it.
I understand that most people will be in a rush for carla bruni pictures. But don't forget she's also an artist whose music is strangely not selling well.
Of course this is because of piracy!!! She's obviously too nice to sing poorly and now that she's the wife of the president she's also too famous to hold a concert in a stadium to raise some money by actual work.
I hope that the french three strikes policy will correct this unfair stealing of her precious music from those filthy bastards that got her husband elected.
This of course has nothing to do with sarkosy including anti-piracy discussion in every meeting with EU PMs like last week with italian media mogul berlusconi. [/sarcasm]

I'm talking about there not being enough money around to invest in creating quality content for us in the first place.

Only a name: Michael Jackson.

Trust me, seeing the movie that way was a improvement over the original.

Plug the live wire from the mains to the ON/OFF switch. They they will lose the habit of playing with it.
Seems like you don't read anything from apple developer connection either ;)

If you are american you can start next time by not voting for the man hiring RIAA lawyers... (Hint, he's changing not much)...
There is plenty of free, good non-RIAA audio nowadays, too!

"Intolerance" So long it has only be abused only by zealots, red fascists and terrorists.
Whoever utters this word nowadays deserves to be shot on the spot.
Don't worry, I am sure the Iranian ISP has a three strikes policy and terrorists will be soon cut off the internet.
I was referring to ENERGY waste and it is a rought estimate.
Please give me 1000$ and I will do a research on the topic and come with more accurate figures :)
aluminum can't be used over and over again
I've been told differently. A citation maybe?
Aluminium is 100% recyclable it would be a 200% waste. 100% because you waste the energy needed for production and another 100$ because you need to separate it from other elements and then refine it.
