The copy in RAM is exempted in 17 USC 117(a)(1) Other states probably also have similar laws. You don't need a license to use an authorized copy of software.
My favorite tracker is 100% non-infringing music. In fact, BitTorrent was created in part to satisfy the needs of hippie concert tapers/traders. It didn't take long for BitTorrent to completely kill off use of FTP by Etree users.
In a front surface mirror such as in a telescope, the surface of the glass is in fact the mirror because the important part is the shape and smoothness of the surface. You do not need to coat it with a reflective material because the glass itself is somewhat reflective. A large noncoated mirror is good for viewing the moon, which has a lot of detail but is very bright.
After countless hours grinding and polishing or thousands of dollars spent on an optician with a good reputation or even tens of thousands spent on ion milling of the glass, you might want to have your mirror tested with an interferometer. That is done before the mirror is coated. That's because the glass is the mirror. The coating simply makes it more efficient.
It is true that some mirrors are made with non-glass materials such as quartz or zero expansion ceramic....or Mercury.
Chris Go is probably the world's premier amateur observer of Jupiter. He also discovered the change of Oval BA to a red color similar to the Great Red Spot.
He lives in Cebu City, Philippines where he has excellent "seeing" most nights. "Seeing" is the term for how steady the atmosphere appears to be and is critical for getting good images of the planets.
Can laches apply when the agreement says that Apple may decline to approve any submitted app, even a new version of an app that was previously approved? That would make it pretty hard for the developer to prove that they relied upon previous approvals when they developed new versions.
In patents there is the concept of "exhaustion" which is similar to the "First Sale" doctrine of Copyright. Essentially, the patent holders can't come after you for infringing on their patents embodied in a product which has licensed those patents. i.e. If Quanta buys chips from Intel which contain patented technology that Intel licensed from LG, then LG can't go after Quanta for infringement of the aforementioned patents in the chips they get from Intel.
"We cannot be at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when they will make our enhancements available to our developers."
Yet, it is just fine with Steve Jobs if every iDeveloper is at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when their enhancements will be made available to their customers.
No, you'll find plenty of fanbois outside of Apple who will zealously defend the notion that the iPhone/pad is not a computer, that "sharia law" is the only way to give the user the best possible experience, that users will always blame Apple when their phone crashes or the battery doesn't last, that they would be helpless to download crap from dicey alternative app stores that would crash their phone and their babies would die because they couldn't call 911, etc...
Don't forget that Apple also holds patents for the nifty multitouch stuff that makes the iPhone so great, then they don't let their own developers use them!!
Unmeasurable because the actual damage to the company is so small. Data breaches are way overrated. Nobody gives a shit about your data. Your competitors aren't interested because the risk of getting caught outweighs the small benefits. Thieves want your customers data if you have card numbers but losing them isn't going to kill your company. Just look at TJ Maxx and Heartland. Heartland should be dead now, right??
How far Apple is from the tipping point of going from "a cool place to work" to "last chance saloon for those desperate enough and unable to get work elsewhere" is an open question, particularly in today's economy. But one thing is certain...they are closer to that point now than they were two years ago, and will be a whole lot closer still if they act in a vindictive manner toward a guy who simply made a mistake any of us could have made.
Gimme a break, even at Apple's lowest point in the mid-90's it was a cool place to work with many highly qualified applicants. Considering that Apple gives its developers real offices at its campus in Cupertino California and feeds them well, it's going to remain a desirable place to work for quite a long time after Steve Jobs next departure from Apple and its subsequent decline.
You mean, like all the developers who are signed up to sell their software in the Apple App Store? You have to give the guy some slack since this is the type of treatment people have come to expect from Apple.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the online video race, for which Apple has been competing with Microsoft and Real for since the beginning. Adobe kicked all their asses because Flash let you customize the look and functionality of your player with a full programming language. Want a big fat button that goes right back to your web site? No problem.
Seriously, do you think the word "effectively" means what you think it means in the context of the law that criminalizes bypassing the technological measure, if simply bypassing the technological measure would render the law moot?
That's not how it works. In this context "effectively" means than under normal operation the effect of the measure is to control access to a work.
How about a quote from the summary judgement Apple obtained against Psystar:
As to the second argument, Psystar contends that Apple’s anticircumvention technology was ineffective because the decryption key for circumvention is publicly available on the internet. This argument fails. “The fact that circumvention devices may be widely available does not mean that a technological measure is not, as the DMCA provides, effectively protecting the rights of copyright owners in the ordinary course of its operation.” Sony Computer Entm’t Am., Inc. v. Divineo, Inc., 457 F. Supp. 2d 957, 965 (N.D. Cal. 2006). Generally, measures based on encryption “effectively control” access to copyrighted works. Here, when the decryption key was not employed, the encryption effectively worked to prevent access to Mac OS X. And that is all that is required. See Universal City Studios v. Reimerdes, 111 F. Supp. 2d 294, 318 (S.D.N.Y. 2000) (noting that when a decryption program was not employed, the encryption worked to control access to the protected work).
If it was just about Flash they could say "no Flash" but the policy also prevents the use of Python or Ruby, for instance, to write native Cocoa Touch apps.
Remind me again why I can't use those APIs from the language of my choice? What difference does it make if I write my app in Python instead of Obj-C? None at all.
Apple's policy also forbids you from writing native Cocoa touch apps in Python or Ruby, for instance. Why write in some language that suffers from cancer of the semicolon when you can use a superior language and get the exact same results?

No, TOR provides untracability. Whether you want to be anonymous, use a pseudonym, or use your Real Name is up to you.

Since Bertrand Serlet got up at WWDC and announced that Snow Leopard would have no new features and it was pretty much just a bug fix release.

Steve said "We cannot be at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when they will make our enhancements available to our developers."
Yet, that is the same situation he imposes on all iDevelopers. That, my friend, is hypocrisy.

How about if nobody has to beg anyone and consenting adults get to do what they want if they aren't hurting anyone?

Looks like Apple still hasn't learned the lesson.

Look up a guy by the name of Drew Major.
There isn't any reason you can't have a good user experience with an app that is not written in ObjC.
The policy also forbids the development of native Cocoa Touch apps with excellent user experience written in Python or Ruby.
If it was just about Flash they could say "no Flash" but the policy also prevents the use of Python or Ruby, for instance, to write native Cocoa Touch apps.
