SSL is flawed as implemented. Unless you are planning to remove all the CAs from your browser and validate each cert out of band yourself, all the government needs is to have one of the root CAs approve a certificate to impersonate whoever they want.
It is the old cold war games. An opportunity for good will from other countries exists. Russia took it. They may even believe in Snowden's right to protection also, but primarily, if you are a global superpower, and have the ability to make the other guy look like a dick to get more people on your side, you generally take it.
This has been going on since the 50s - proxy wars, the space race, the olympics, etc. Giving Snowden asylum is no different really.
If you think this patent thing is about the generic use of rounded rectangles, you're a fucking retard who needs to learn how to read and comprehend the actual case.
If america needs to fix this, then america should fix this. Having a cry about a business doing what they can to maximise their profits within the laws provided by the global economy is retarded. If you look at any of the top 500, they will ALL be doing similar. NOT doing this will be handing a competitive advantage to your opposition on a platter.
Petition your congress to change it if if pisses you off so much. But of course you won't, it's far more fashionable to bitch about apple on slashdot about it.
Again, petition to get the laws changed if you don't like it. Having a cry about somebody working within the law to maximise their returns is just sour grapes.
This has been shown in other studies. The problem isn't operating the device, it is the processing your brain incurs to visualise emotional context from a non-visible person. Bother hands free and regular calls were shown to be approximately equal to driving with BAC of 0.08%.
OK i'll bite. Studies have shown that talking in person and talking on cell is different. As passenger in the car will pause when they see a potential risk ahead or when they see you requiring increased concentration, and give you another pair of eyes in the vehicle. Also, your brain is not pre-occupied with visualizing the person you are talking to, and interpreting mood, etc via tone of voice (it's easier for your brain when you can see the person).
The increased risk on a cell call is NOTHING TO DO with the operation of the actual device. It is the increased processing your brain requires to deal with a non-visible person.
A common analogy often taught to riders (see: Twist of the Wrist 1/2, a motorcycling safety bible) is that you have $1 worth of attention span. You can spend that any way you see fit, but you have only $1. If you spend 30c on processing a phone call, that only leaves 70c for everything else. Sure, some people may be able to drive better on a cell phone than others due to higher base skill, but driving whilst deliberately impaired whether it be by alcohol, drugs or cell phone use is putting yourself and others at increased risk.
As someone who rides a motorcycle on a regular basis (every day to/from work for 6 1/2 years, plus recreational riding on weekends), I am telling you now that you can see the erratic driving of a cell phone user before you confirm that yes, they are on their phone as you ride past them.
Go for it. I'm sure the tiny precent of android devices google sell will just get tinier. Samsung will quite happily fill the gap Google leave with any supplier they give that ultimatum to.
I do and it is NOT a huge pain, as my password database follows me from computer to computer, is across different browsers (and even applications).
Your browser isn't going to be remembering your RDP or VPN passwords for you, so why use it to store web specific passwords and need to store everything else in another application anyway?
And the likely reason is that the charger has electronics in it that talk to the idevice. If it can't talk to the idevice, it likely falls back to the minimal safe charging rate to prevent excessive battery wear.
This isn't what the article is about. Apple are offering heavily discounted chargers to replace whatever busted ass genuine OR non genuine charger you may have. Apple will only guarantee chargers they produce. If you buy something else from some fly by night backyard counterfeiter in china, all bets are off. It may well be fine. It might not. Good luck claiming warranty or damages.
There have been plenty of articles on charger performance - they're not just dumb devices these days. Most well designed modern chargers monitor the battery and charge it at a rate that minimizes wear on the battery.

At least one idiot country already did. The USA has heaps of bioweapons.

For a country that doesn't export anything much other than currency, this is not a huge problem.
And apple don't even make TVs, or refrigerators yet.

LOL. Oh wait, you really believe that?

There's no "Exception" going on here. If you do business in a foreign country, you pay your taxes in that country. End of story.

Yeah, other studies have shown cell phone use, even hands free being as dangerous as driving with a BAC of 0.08%.

For some people, working well is worth paying money for (shock horror). Hence commercial software exists.

Same here. Perhaps I should have said "some geeks". My mistake :D

No, counterfeit chargers may be bad and there are no guarantees whether they are or not.

Article isn't about USB cables, it's about chargers. Methinks YOU are missing the point.
