Yet it's "protected" by the fact you need either special equipment or access to the phone provider's servers to access it, apart from the criminal intent. The expectation of privacy should be comparable to a standard letter.
No, the wealth would spread around to anyone who was willing to take a risk and was successful.
When it comes to actually investing in companies, you're right. Gambling at the stock market, on the other hand, is actually harmful to the economy and thus should not be rewarded.
Regarding sound control, there's quite a difference beetween an audio player and just about any other application. Also, if Apple wanted to add per-application sound control to their software, they could just as well put it directly into the OS.
Is it censorship? In the broadest sense, yes. But do I want the federal gov't meddling with this? Any federal gov't? It sets a scary precedent.
I don't see the problem. It's not like it were about letting the government censor instead of apple, it's about exactly the opposite: The government preventing censorship, for a change.
While having the games market under control of these corporations is unfortunate, having media censored by one is actually quite bad for society. Of course, there are still classical newspapers and the internet and thus Apple cannot effectively censor -- but especially if the iPad becomes more widespread, they will be able to influence what people can get easily. I imagine people might choose to ignore a media source because there is no app for it.
Also, this appears to be a distribution channel people actually are willing to pay for, making access to it even more important for publishers.
That's just because your constitution is broken. Other constitutions are better at protecting your rights, with formulations like "Every person shall have the right to...", "Freedom...shall be inviolable." (Germany) or "The Republic recognises the right..." (Italy)

Thanks. I thought an invalid e-mail adress wouldn't reliabily work anyway.
But in practice, shouldn't you just be able to copy the regex from somewhere (open source, with attribution of course) and check if it matches?

As the school provides tech support according to the article, it is.
Sometimes, the BP ad is shown quite prominently just above the regular results, though.
That's odd. I'm on Windows, and I got a selection of Leopard, Snow Leopard, Windows with and without Quicktime. With Leopard being pre-selected.

Is that necessary? That's Safari on Mac, not an iPhone etc.
Actually, it's not the exactly same engine, Google has its own branch.
As an MS fanboy,
you still criticize Microsoft? Hand in your fanboy card.
Then, of course, such information must be removed from the school library. Problem solved!
No, but I'm a human, not a corporation.
So, we shouldn't have freedom of the press, because the presses are run by corporations?
We should. But that's not because corporations have the right to it, but because we need access to a free press.
Also distributing someone else's speech is completely unlike saying something.
What? It's exactly like saying something.
Not any more than delivering a letter.

Unlike games, media are actually important to society. Letting apple control them even a bit sets a bad precedent.

Everyone getting a share of the bribe instead of just a select few? That does sound like an improvement to me.
Which one?
I bet someone has swallowed a floppy/pendrive/whatever with a virus on it before.

That's not a copyright notice.
There is a Linux version of SimCity 3000, created by Loki. Don't know where to get it, though.
They apparently knew they couldn't plan an economy - that's why they wanted to build that computer to do it.
No, the hooker owed the hotelier money.
