    News for geeks... helpful if someone included the IP ranges so for those who desire to do so, the NK ranges could be blocked.

    Imagine that we invented AIs that matched the average human intellect

    In this case the question becomes "Do we still need (human) jobs anyway?"

  25. > Apple doesn't do that

    But the point is that they can because you have basically given them the key to your computer.

    Well, all OS implementations might include such hidden feature too (and most software), if the code is injected into an update. Do they do that? No.
    Apple could do that, but doing so would be a huge mistake, and they'd lose many consumers.
