  1. Re:Fading Apple Star on Apple's Indirect Presence Fades from CES (techpinions.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Why would they lower the price while demand is equal or outstripping supply? It’s funny since people like you say this about Apple with every new model and yet they blow away previously sales records nearly ever year. Does it ever tire to be so wrong?

    Apple had revenue of $52.5 billion and net profit of $10.7 billion in Q4 2017. Clearly they are on their last legs and destitute from lack of sales. LOL...

    Wouldn’t that be the USDA? Why would the FDA care?

    Wonderful non-answer. You still have yet to show any reason to believe anyone involved will be significantly impacted by voting to expand Section 702.

    This is a parody post, right? If supporting this bill would cause someone to not get re-elected then how do you explain all the Senators and Reps still in office after repeatedly supporting the reauthorization of this horrendous Section previously? Name a single person in Congress that was voted out specifically for supporting Section 702. I won’t hold my breath, though.

    Actually most people who read the news likely knew about it. That story was covered all over the place when it happened.

    Just a sampling:

    https://www.theguardian.com/wo...
    https://nypost.com/2017/10/16/...
    http://abcnews.go.com/Internat...
    http://www.abc.net.au/news/201...
    https://www.washingtonpost.com...
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com....

    One would have to be fairly ignorant to not have run across it on some news website after it happened.

    People wonder why we Linux users are so damn crazy about privacy.
