Doesn't there need to be a crime first? Doesn't there need to be evidence indicating that there is a crime to investigate? Without some sort of charge, and naming a statute doesn't cut it, naming a suspected violation of a specific statute seems to be missing. It reminds me of arresting someone for "resisting arrest" wtf? You can call it "retaining evidence", but it seems more like "blindly groping for evidence".
Customs officials were required to have "reasonable cause"to believe an offence had been committed.
Anyone can say they suspect anyone of wrong doing, but it is a whole other ball of wax to back it up. "We have it on good information that you violated XXX". OK, good information from whom? based on what? or do you not have the right to know/face your accuser in NZ?
Its called fossils. Wow! Wow! Wow! Really? We have found "tungsten encapsulated by silicon nitride" fossils?! Those must have been the coolest dinosaurs ever!
and mcdonalds sold 100 million hamburgers over the same weekend. if you're trying to impress me, apple, you've failed.
I am sure Tim Cook is walking back to his office now, hands in pockets, head held low, shoulders slumped, and wondering what he can do to impress the "Hamburger Lady" if 9 million iPhones won't do it.
Apple hasn't released data on the number of iPhone 5C units it presold in the device's first 24 hours of availability—a first for the iPhone since 2009. Why is that?
Perhaps they are waiting to post the results when the iPhone 5S gets its first 24 hours of sales? After all, releasing two new phone models is a first for the iPhone since . . . forever.
Or is it like the Babel fish in HHG? Proof of the opposite?

Bullshit. Trust is built by delivering on commitments, not by taking on responsibilities that you don't have the skill/desire to take on, and *certainly* doesn't require acting as upper management's hired thug as you seem to insinuate. We *need* leaders, but not everyone needs to take that role.
But will most people recognize, as you point out, that Facebook is a stranger? People get invitations to join from people they trust, so there is an implication, no matter how flawed, that Facebook is trustworthy.
It seems to me that it would be very difficult to have a useful phone that used free hotspots without accidentally piggybacking on an open network and finding yourself in this guys shoes : http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/05/23/15 51227
I agree. Unless the cafe owner put up a landing page that forced you to accept the TOS(Which should have been very explicit, "This service is for Cafe patrons only, any other access is strictly prohibited.") before giving you full access to the network, permission is implicit. What about free WiFi isn't. I am sure that the letter of the law prohibits this case, but the intent was to protect home WiFi users that don't know how to secure their network, not for business owners offering free access to clients. Must have been a slow season for the DA.
I have a hard time digesting the 10x C02 emissions claimed in the parent's attached article. The reason I started paying a premium for Biodiesel, besides being too lazy to brew my own, was this : http://www.sqbiofuels.com/images/pollution_reducti on_chart.gif So, does the sqbiofuel chart only consider vehicle emissioins, where the Dutch report considers vehicle and refining emissions. I didn't think there were emissions assosciated with the brewing of biodiesel, though. Or is it the difference between palm oil and soybean oil? Arrrrrgh!
Gawd, this is just like food reports. Coffee's good for you, oh wait no its bad for you, oh on second thought its good for you . . . .

Before cell phones people walking around and talking to themselves stood out as probably unstable. But now, not so much.
Will we soon see people walking around, talking to themselves, and fidgeting in the air and think nothing of it?
capable of hiding a 40-micrometre object in visible laser light :-)
I would guess that practical applications of this are a few years out

What was that a 5 degree bend?
Its called fossils.

"Good artists copy, Great artists steal." Arrrr me harty!
Doh! "knew" . . .
Actually, Blackberry just thought they knew what the customers would need. Apple actually know what the customers would want.

What is that "sizzle"? cuz there ain't no "steak".

So using that logic, I should quit going to the gym and watching what I eat. Utter bullshit.
Just because there is a trend toward a lack of concern over privacy, doesn't mean its any less a right or that we should be concerned less about it.
"So you want to put a toy train in my reactor?" Condescending glare and awkward silence . . .
No, I didn't RTFA, so flame away. But wouldn't a 1st gen touch be cheaper, and do the job?
Yep. Verizon sees any standalone feature in your phone as a threat to some portion of their revenue stream.

Just a thought.

Biodiesel from palm oil causes 10 times as much climate change as ordinary diesel.
What I am talking about was comparing biodiesel to diesel.
