Of course there is something they can do. Its even in the constitution a Letter of Marque. We simply indicate a list of countries that follow a multi national tax treaty. Money kept anywhere else is considered fair game. That is we will not enforce property rights from that countries banks, so anyone working for a Cayman islands bank can rip off their customers, legally deposit the money in the US, pay about 1/3rd in taxes and keep the rest forever.
Companies will find it mighty uncomfortable once the people who work in the tax havens have such lucrative options.
Why is the job of Apple customers to enforce tax law? We have an agency, the IRS whose job it is to enforce tax law. Customers should comfortably buy Apple products and if Apple is guilty they should get their ass nailed to the wall for tax evasion with no interruption in service to anyone but their shareholders who watch a nice chunk of the cash disappear in penalties and fines.
If they haven't broken the law, they law should be changed to make this sort of thing much harder. Again nothing to do with customers.
The lawsuits started in 2009. When Android came out and Jobs started laying the groundwork to sue, RIM was about 45% of the smartphone market. By December 2009, RIM was still 42% and Android was still under 6%.
I think that's a bit rear view mirror. RIM had huge advantages in enterprise integration that Apple still doesn't quite match. I don't think Apple had anyway of knowing that RIM would get so distracted and lose years getting their new kernel to work.
The GUI wasn't a huge problem for RIM in 2007 though it certainly was an advantage for Apple.
I don't think that's true. When Apple released the iPhone they had many competing operating systems. RIM outsold them several times over. There has only been one that they have been upset with.
Apple has already stated in court that Win8's design does substantially differ from Apple's. Apple has a problem with Android. They've been unequivocal about MeeGo, Tizen, Win8, BBOS9, BB10... not being a violation of their patents.
China has a several thousand year history of not being an expansionist power. Even in countries which are totally dependent on them militarily like North Korea they exerted a very light hand. Even the provinces have quite a bit of independence, i.e. something very much like Federalism though they don't use that term.
You probably ban by the first/64 of the IPv6 address which is effective and incidentally is also too big (current technology) to use the brute force run through the hash algorithm. A nice lucky midpoint we are in right now.
Bad precedent? The rights of judges to issues subpoena is in the constitution. The importance of looking for judicial misconduct is in the bible. I'd say whatever precedents exist have been in place quite a while.
They might need kiddy wheels at age 6, but by age 12 they are ready for the real stuff.
No they aren't. College students aren't ready for the real stuff. Whether you are teaching broad skills or narrow skills is the difference between education and certification. And there is no reason to teach children specific workplace skills for a workplace they are too young to enter.
For point B, there are many college students that can do their work on netbooks, if this arm platform MS has put together isn't at least as powerful as a netbook then it's already pointless in my regard.
The ARM platform is not designed for general usage, yes it is less powerful than a netbook by design. ARM is designed for niche hardware that is more powerful for some limited taks but less generally useful overall. That argument is settled. The debate between Microsoft and Apple is whether different hardware form factors requires different applications (Apple's position) or just modified GUIs (Microsoft's).
The problem here, which is also the difference between apple and MS, is that MS made their arm device function like their desktop.
No... MS is making their x86 devices function like a laptop / tablet hybrid. Their ARM devices are designed to function like the tablet components of the x86 devices.
I pay $72 for 3 years for my shared host for my small business. I might upgrade to $180 per 3 / yr for a high service account. The cheapest I've seen is $360 for a low service low bandwidth VPS.
I agree that I find Amazon recommendation and their data mining a good thing. As you say I get better quality ads and they get better sales. We aren't disagreeing there. Where I am disagreeing is that everyone shares that opinion. People seem to vary pretty wildly on what degree on online privacy they want. How much they are willing to be tracked.
Think about how popular things like Chrome's private browsing are, and what a total pain it would be for anyone else to have to renew every cookie every time you used your browser. On the other extreme otherwise very private people share a lot of information on things like Facebook.
So I agree with your weightings while fully appreciating that not everyone agrees with your weightings.
That is precisely what Google and Amazon mostly do do. I agree with you I consider this innocuous but others do not. On the other hand Facebook uses relationship information like "people whose friends bought X often like Y" and that I do object to. My point is that right now Apple doesn't do that sort of thing and they do complain about Google doing it. I think keeping that door open with regard to privacy is worth more than the slightly more functional store.
I'm not sure there is a violation of the constitution. But lets assume there was. The appropriate way to deal with that would be to draft up a clear explanation of why it was in violation and notify the TSA during one of their hearings. If they were disinterested then file in a federal court. Throwing a temper tantrum in an airport is not the right way.
As for violent methods. Peaceful methods haven't been meaningfully tried. Moreover, if you don't have enough power to get a law overturned you do not have enough power to violently overthrow the government. I'd suggest joining the ACLU not throwing bombs.
Agreed. There were IDE's in the late days of DOS no question RT could handle one. I guess what I really meant was that Visual Studio is always going to want higher end hardware features and things like compilers are precisely the areas where x86 has huge advantages over ARM.

AC below is right. They sued all the major Android manufacturers.
The lawsuits started in 2009. When Android came out and Jobs started laying the groundwork to sue, RIM was about 45% of the smartphone market. By December 2009, RIM was still 42% and Android was still under 6%.

This is information related to a court case. There is a question whether a juror engaged in misconduct during the course of the trial.
Understood and agreed. My point above is that once an investigation becomes official they don't get to do the investigating.
Judges are empowered to issue subpoena for information. And the judge didn't fail to convict on anything.
What should happen at the most is that the name is given to the newspaper, and they verify if its them or not.
Newspapers aren't empowered to conduct official investigations. They are empowered to conduct unofficial ones in the public interest.

Oh I see. Yes I agree if I'm looking at X and the system says "people who like X often buy Y" that's not a privacy problem.
What I was talking about is where I had looked at A, B and C and it said... ah A,B and C are all X's and people looking for X often like D.
I pay $72 for 3 years for my shared host for my small business. I might upgrade to $180 per 3 / yr for a high service account. The cheapest I've seen is $360 for a low service low bandwidth VPS.
That's funny! Makes sense it would be karma.

Oh OK sorry I didn't get the joke. I had misunderstood your point.
True, good point. So its less training even with the UI changes.
Agreed. There were IDE's in the late days of DOS no question RT could handle one. I guess what I really meant was that Visual Studio is always going to want higher end hardware features and things like compilers are precisely the areas where x86 has huge advantages over ARM.
The original claim was that the TSA wasn't law enforcement. Law enforcement isn't a legal term. On the other hand the Federal Air Marshals are:
a) Part of the TSA
b) Are classified as law enforcement on legal documents.
Now in terms of the screeners I'd call them civilian assistants to law enforcement, like meter maids.
