Uh...no it does not and it's not a DoD press release. I don't think you read it very carefully but this is/. so I don't know why should I expect any different. Or maybe subtleties are lost on you.
This is one of the most naive pieces of shit I've ever read. I'll tell you what buddy, when the rest of the world stops spying, I'll be for getting rid of the NSA. Keep in mind that every nation on the planet employs spies, so good luck with that.
Yeah, US news sources are totally full of shit but news from Al Shabaab is totally trustworthy. I don't trust US news sources either but you're a fucking idiot if you believe anything that Al Shabaab says. This report is probably the most accurate one you're going to get: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-24420767. On a final note, any news that comes out immediately after an event is usually total bullshit no matter who it comes from. It takes a while before enough information is developed from multiple sources to piece together something that resembles the truth.
lol, they aren't doing this to be open and forthright. They are doing this to let the population know that they are monitoring everything they do on the internet. It's just a slick way to oppress dissent.
Oh please...there's nothing new here. The NSA has been doing all of this for decades. The only thing that has changed in that time is there's this new information channel called the internet. The notion that a spy agency wouldn't monitor the largest information channel in the history of mankind is the epitome of naiveté. I think it would really blow your mind if you knew how un-unique the NSA was in its capabilities.
Hot tip: if you really don't want something to be seen by intelligence agencies, don't ever transmit it electronically. I don't see what the problem is.
You don't want to debate my example because you know you're wrong. It's too bad your not man enough to admit it. I'm sure that will carry you far in this world. Goodbye, we're done here.
I don't know why you think I'm a fanboi when I use a fucking Android phone but you're an idiot so I should expect as much. Apple is a reseller, period. If you buy "chemical free" toilet paper off of Amazon and it turns out it's not chemical free, it's not Amazon's problem. It's the product's manufacturer's problem. If you see an add on NBC for the same "chemical free" toilet paper, again, it's not NBC's problem. I'm really sorry you don't understand the law or the concept of responsibility but that's how it works. Perhaps if you could get passed your Apple hate, you might be able to form a cogent argument. Sadly, that's unlikely.
Because it's AMC's decision as to how their offerings are packaged and priced on iTunes. Apple really has nothing to do with it and they are going way beyond what they need to do to try and make up for AMC's fuck-up.
You need to read up on the history of Microsoft before you say things like "Google and Apple are just as much 'evil empires'". Microsoft built itself by being far more evil than the other two could ever hope to be. I'm old so I know the history well and Gates was fucking Satan incarnate.
Wow, you're naive. The NSA just got caught doing what most other countries are doing as well. That's the only difference. Well that, and the NSA is probably a lot better at it than most.
Nothing has changed you idiot. Nearly every country that can already spies on their own people and other countries to the extend that their budgets and technology allows. The naivete on slashdot is astonishing. If necessary, I can explain why this is but try using your brain for 5 minutes before asking.
Jesus, where do people get this bullshit from? LUA is not banned in the USA. US companies even incorporate it into games. The US does a lot of fucked up shit so you shouldn't have to make up stuff to make it worse than it is.
lol, yeah link to a piece on eco-spying on Fance; a country with a long history of doing the exact same thing. I hate to tell you this but the US didn't invent this. It's been going on forever and EVERY country is guilty of doing it. I know this is probably shocking because, after all, you probably think the US is responsible for all the evil in the world but you'll get over it. Oh, here's a fun link for you: http://www.france24.com/en/20110104-france-industrial-espionage-economy-germany-russia-china-business
Given that apple lists every episode included in the "season", I don't see what the big deal is. The term "season" has no definitive meaning and this little game has been used by content providers in the exact same way to sell blu-rays and DVDs on Amazon. In short, "season" means whatever the content provider wants it to mean and you shouldn't make assumptions. Shady? Yes. Illegal? No.

They don't want anonymity after attacks, not while planning them. Use common sense, dude.

You're right, anonymity is totally useless to a terrorist. You're either stupid or ...I can't think of anything else.

I'm not aware of any country that does not employ spies. It's an essential government function; a necessary evil.

AMC decides what the offerings are called on iTunes as well as the price. But sure, call me a fanboy you fucking moron.
Yeah, it's not like their products actually work!

lol, spying is a war crime now? Interesting.
Way to try and blame it on the Americans. I wish other countries could actually accept responsibility for their own actions once in a while.

Then you've never actually read 1984. The NSA is a pussycat compared to big brother. They're not even in the same league.
source?
You had no point. You provided no evidence the US is somehow different than any other first world nation.

Apple doesn't define the terminology used by its content providers. AMC can call it whatever the hell they want to.
