If a secular government is making rules, it has to be for secular reasons. In this case, the no-hat rule is to aid in identification. Your transcendent experience does not change the identification practicality of a photo showing your whole head; therefore, it should not be an exception. If it is acceptable for one to keep his hat on, then it should be acceptable for all.
And when they "thought they could do it right" and released the first one, the market let them know loud and clear that they had NOT gotten it right.
Apple was working on a PDA, a term actually invented for the Newton. What killed that was a complete lack of vision in the company and scope creep from hell. That's the Sculley years for you.
But something did come out of it: The company that designs the ARM architecture, now ARM Holdings, was created by Acorn, Apple and VLSI to make the ARM chip for the Newton. This would be the basis for all future portable and embedded ARM implementations.
They didn't get it right until MUCH later. (It's debatable whether they have gotten it right yet.)
Everything can be refined, but given that all following tablets copied the iPad, and using this model have managed to encroach on the PC market, they definitely got it right.
Think tablets, they were around, and Apple was working on a tablet since 2001. But Apple refused to release one until they thought they could do it right. They even released the iPhone as a rushed side project in 2007, but still couldn't get the tablet down. All this time others were producing tablets that basically sucked. Finally they did it, people loved it, and Apple owned the market for a while until others could duplicate what they did.
Given that Apple is known to have been working on a watch for a couple of years, we may see a repeat. Or Apple's watch may suck. Who knows?

Companies buy others to get good technology to integrate all the time. Apple has bought several mapping, chip design, mapping and other companies over the years. What Google is very noted for has been bought, including YouTube, the advertising, Motorola and Android. At least five acquisitions make up Google Maps, same for Google+.
But the point isn't just buying something, it's integrating it into your product line to make something better. Microsoft did this with Kinect. Microsoft utterly failed with Danger, an attempt to quickly leverage into the mobile market.
ABS was invented back in the 20s for airplanes, and first used in American cars in the early 70s. However, they probably weren't using the same technology as Mercedes did.
A Tesla S is a large luxury performance sedan, more equivalent to a BMW 7 series. The low-end one has equivalent performance to a $70K 740, and the high-end one is faster than the equivalently-priced 750.
Every 4x4 has a fording depth. Ones not designed to get the engine soaked have a shallow one, those with protection have deeper ones. Some you just have to add a snorkel kit and the entire thing can run underwater, as in the problem is now the driver getting air, not the engine.
His views have pissed off the liberals and the conservatives, so he doesn't have an ideological screen. He just does whatever the hell he wants regardless of law and Constitution.
He even violated the War Powers Act in Libya. Response? It doesn't apply. Cue Eddie Murphy, "Wasn't me."
Given how much Obama is against the Constitution in various ways, I always thought it ironic that he was a constitutional law professor. But then I think you really have to know something if you want to find the best ways to break it, so I now find it quite fitting.
Instead of geek toy makers making holsters, it might be a good idea for real holster companies to start making them for geek devices. These companies know how to get a full-sized pistol to disappear in average clothing while being comfortable for the wearer all day, so I think they can handle one of these larger Android phones.
Snowden is an idealist who chose to forfeit his life for something he believed in.
At least that's what he says. He's still going to hostile countries loaded with our classified information. For all we know, he's selling secrets underneath this gloss of whistleblowing.
So does this also apply to everyone involved in the illegal wiretapping
Legal or illegal depends on our laws. Unfortunately, the wiretapping under Bush was retroactively made legal, and that law also made this wiretapping legal.
When I was doing design work, my mentor taught me the rules and told me to stay within them. After you've mastered the rules, learning the successes and mistakes of everybody before, then you can start breaking them as you explore new possibilities.
I am afraid this will convince people who know nothing yet to just go off in whatever direction they please, wasting massive time on things others already learned not to do, subjecting others to more horrible code.
Somebody who believes that if you can't keep secrets, then don't swear an oath and sign an NDA not to release those secrets in order to get a high-paying classified job.
applied very inequitably and usually harsher for those lower on the food chain
It really depends. Usually sexual harrassment in the Army is dealt with using non-judicial punishment in the lower ranks, but there is a powerful general in a court martial now over allegations he did it. Often, officers are punished more harshly because they're expected to know better. Now obviously in this administration when it gets near anybody political all blame will stop cold.
To me, you break the law, you face trial. At that point we can talk about being acquitted because what you did was really the right thing.
Or, they just set up massive auditing everywhere and aren't really going to fire anybody. Now they just sit back and watch which admins start accessing stuff they aren't supposed to. A bunch of little snively Snowdens we'll grab before they can flee justice.
Imagine you're German. You already pay high taxes on eveything, but you do get decent government services too. Over the last couple decades, the government has cut back benefits, on unemployment, on retirement, on state medical insurance. Meanwhile the fatcats at Bundesbank keep getting richer, untouched by the problems of the people increasingly burdened by ever higher taxes (MwSt has gone from 10% to 19%) while receiving less in benefits.
Now they come again, "We want to cut another benefit."
You say "You can't cut that benefit!"
"But it's only one little cut. It isn't reasonable to oppose just this one little common sense cut."
"It's not just one little cut. You've cut again and again and again over the last few decades, and I won't tolerate you cutting anymore!" Protests in the streets follow (as has happened).
Now we gun rights people can look back to mainstream rights infringements (not ones that applied only to blacks) that started in the 30s. We have had seven major federal gun rights restriction laws since then (8, but one sunsetted), and thousands of state and local ones.
Pardon us if we also say "We will tolerate no more!" When anti-rights people speak of additional "common sense" restrictions, we see the whole picture, a slide even further down the slippery slope we've been on for 80 years. As we look back up that slope, it's easy to spot attempts to push us further down.

And paid it off with their own money, not government TARP funds like GM did.

Apple has hired people who best match a wearable device product, such as the fitness guru behind the Nike band. It's not going to be the TV.
This watch one is interesting given the history.

And interestingly released right before the Haswell iMacs are expected to come out.
They need someone who can create new trends, as happened with Apple.

I guess it's impossible to insulate those, right?

Gas tank breather kit, runs a breather line to the snorkel level.

Denials have been on and off, just off for the last couple years, no reason there won't be any this year. But modifications are back up high again.

As somebody who lived in Germany for 14 years, I don't even know where to start with your lack of understanding.
