The EFF believes that if Jason Chen is not charged with a crime, then the search is illegal. If he is charged with a crime, then his protection as a journalist goes out the window. They can't act on a warrant, impound materials that implicate his source, then let him go. He has to be the target of the investigation for this to be legal. Journalists don't get a free pass to commit crimes just because they write about the crimes they've committed.
Oh, you're right. You could save us all a lot of trouble and effort by determining the merits of all the pending criminal cases based on the inadmissable statements made by the defendants fathers. It would save a lot of money.
Where does this notion that if you leave something somewhere, it's abandoned? I left my car in the parking lot today, is that abandoned? I left all of my stuff back in my apartment, is it abandoned? No one abandoned the phone. They lost it. If you believe that you abandon everything you lose, well, that's stupid. It's beyond stupid, it's willful ignorance.
Apple wishes it could be the new Microsoft. It always has. They've been happy to plunder the 4% of users that gladly bend over for their products, but haven't figured out how to expand that miniscule market share for 30 years now.
But actually, they bought the phone. And they said they paid $5000 for it. Many times. On their own web site.
That's like saying,"I'm not paying a hooker to have sex with me, I'm paying her for her time, and if we just happen to get it on as two consenting adults it's not prostitution." That don't fly in court, either.
Yet, oddly, he didn't turn the device into the restaurant so they could put it in their lost and found, probably the most common way lost items get back to their owners. I know that if I lost my phone, the first thing I would do would be to go back to the last place I knew I had it and ask the staff if anyone found it. AFAIK, this guy who stole it from the restaurant didn't turn it in to them, therefore eliminating the most common avenue of return. Then, in a stroke of genius, he called the guy's work customer service line and gave them a half-assed, "Well, I found a phone that someone who works at your hugenormous company might have lost. Never heard of it? OK, I'll keep it." What a dick.
Which, when looking at a trend over 1,000 years, means diddlyshit.
Actually, it does matter when the alarmists are saying that global warming is anthropogenic, in particular since the rise of oil use in th 1940s. 15 years is 30 percent of the "hockey stick" that alarmists throw around like the gospel.
You're just figuring out right now what a dickhead Steve Jobs is? Good for you! Sell that shit and get stuff that doesn't require you to drink the kool aid.
The iPhone is NOT stable. I had an iPhone 3G and 3GS and applications would crash, the thing would lock up, all sorts of crap. Sold both of my iPhones on Craigslist and bought a Droid. Problem solved.
Defending draconian bullshit for the sake of stability is a lie.
Please don't pass judgement on our judicial and legal system until AFTER the verdict has been passed on your daughter. I have a tough time believing a jury or judge would be swayed by the testimony of the police officer, if the events happened the way you say they did. Regardless of the actions of the police and prosecutor, she'll get a fair crack in court.
If someone asked me to (in Java say) print the numbers from 1 to 10, I would probably do something like
for (int i=1;i=10;i++) {
System.out.println(i); }
So would most other people. Would this flag me as a cheater?
No, the system would flag you as being wrong. "i=10" would give an error either in compile time in a strongly typed language, or in runtime in a loosely typed one. FAIL.
They didn't sell 300,000 units in one day. They sold 300,000 units over 4 months of hype and advertisment articles on gadget blogs. Care to speculate what the second day sales were?
I don't think this "fabled" game had the gumption. WoW was in a world already well known and well accepted amongst video games. It had a pedigree. Fighting fantasy not so. The few video games in that world, or even that genre, that have been released have been dismal failures (ie Deathtrap Dungeon on PC & Warlock of Firetop Mountain on DS)
As rich in backstory as a lot of games are, the game has to "not suck", which WoW got right, for the most part.
I'm not talking about the size of the hard drives, or the amount of memory available here. Look at the number of different models available, and if you can't see that Dell has more variety, then you are truly the gaylordest of the fanboys.
Steve's just cranky because the only reason his iPhone is a success is because of games and gaming is beneath him and his vision. So now he's punishing his peasants for gaming so much with ads. Apparently, you're allowed to do anything on your "bicycle of the mind" except have fun.
Objective C isn't too complicated, it's just ancient. It was hot stuff back in 1990. I prefer to spend my time with modern cross-platform object oriented languages. With Objective C you might as well be programming in Assembly Language, for all it's lack of utility outside the tiny world of Mac OS (4% of the computers in the world).

She should have called your work's customer service line and asked them if anyone lost a $20 bill. That's what this douche did.
That's patently false. Liar.

No, fingerprints tie a user to a mouse or keyboard. They say nothing of whether or not the mouse/keyboard were attached to any computer or when.
found != stolen
finder != thief
finders keepers, losers weepers.
Yeah, and:
He who smellt it == he who dealt it
Oh wait, that's not a real law. Neither of these are.
Schoolyard != Real World

So, you think the Mac Mini and the Macbook Air were successes? You have a really distorted idea of success.
It may be "cooler" but does it work better as an e-reader? No. FAIL.

Meridian 59 was up in 1995.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, but I don't see any WORLD WIDE web site keeping track of who's searched for the most eggs anywhere.
