I think that if you want to distribute outside the Mac store, then you can get an apple signature and the warning won't pop up. Is this a mounting out of a molehills?
Hw easy is it to get a valid apple signature, so the warning box doesn't pop up? If I spent 6 months developing a Mac app, and it only took 10 mins and free to get a signature, I would do so without hesitation. What's the problem here?
And of course women invariably believe they require more privacy, protection and trust than men. I find these expectations to be unreasonable and illogical.
Also, it's perversely gratifying to hear a tsa goon confirm that tsa gives a shit about privacy, and finds the "expectation of privacy" to be unreasonable and illogical. Schadenfreude is the word, I think.

My bad, you're not a homophobe, you're a misogynist.
I can confidently call BS here. [citation needed] that a menial internship is breaking the law, even in the US. And considering how premium the foxconn jobs are, it makes sense that a foxconn internship could fulfill a VOC requirement.
tfa: "Foxconn revealed that Liu’s internship had been terminated about a week after it began, on July 7, because he failed to show up for work for several days, and that the company had been trying to arrange to have him sent back to his hometown."
sounds like he only put in a few days work, and foxconn let him stay in the dorms for a few weeks with no work, then he killed himself. Sounds unstable to me.
chillax, AC. parent is relating a story from his experience. i don't doubt him, and even if he did make it up, the point he is making still stands. Things like suicides are multifactoral and there is no single cause.
exactly my point. mental illness is multifactoral. Let's agree that there are many contributing causes. The statement "foxconn casued the suicide of this dude" is false. We agree, yes?
how is this different than US?
* your internship turns out to be menial. In the US it's filing papers, fetching coffee. Same deal.
* vocational students must do internships as part of their education. This is how it should be. It's a VOCATIONAL school.
* temp workers are not covered by a company's benefits programs. Same as in US - I've temped, I can attest to that.
I'm not seeing anything new or shocking here. Just hyperbole and apple-bashing. They are teh evilz!
They's climbin in yo boardroom
snatchin' you IP up!
So you gotta
Hide you docs
Hide you tech
Hide yo docs
Hide you tech
and hide you patents
Cuz they's suin evebody out here!
lastly, if you rtfa there's nothing about underage students. it's vocational college students. no 12 year olds in the sweatshops. sorry if that messes with your mental image.
harsh! would a shill tell you to stfu? if you look at it from the perspective of/.'s silly shrill biases recently, any reasonable poster must be a shill. Actually, I take it as a compliment - my first "shill" ad hominem. Is there an achievement badge for that?
the whole summary is linkbait. Follow the articles... the internship program may be unpaid (like internships in the US mind you), but it's not "unvoluntary". From rtfa:
* "Liu had traveled hundreds of miles for a chance to get hands-on experience working for China’s leading electronics maker."
* "Liu’s internship — which he landed through a labor placement firm in the nearby city of Guangzhou — would have included housing, food, and a small stipend estimated to be about half the salary of a typical factory worker"
if you actually read the text, the worst you can say is that many Chinese schools require internships in order to graduate. This is probably on par with US vocational schools. So let's hold off on the "zOMG won't somebody think of the childrenz!"
really starting to scrape the bottom of the hyperbole barrel here... let me add a couple more:
* Shocker! Foxconn does not have Sweet and Low in the cafeteria!,
* zOMG! Foxconn employees do not get MLK day off!
* Zounds! Foxconn cut funding for employee softball team!
maybe we can keep thinks on a more even tone, for the sake of conversation?
THis guy is a troll. "tsa is Fagz!" and this is rated +5 interesting. If there's anything funnier than trolling its trolling and getting +5. Way to go, mods.
to be fair -- the only reason the gross Santorum link is at the top is through a concerted advocacy campaign to link spam google and beating the algorithm. I guarantee you that 99% of the people searching "santorum" are actually looking for the candidate. This is political slander on the part of savage et al. not sure google's culpability.
not I the player, but I the character! Why do I the character want to get to the next rock? Is the Princess tied to that rock? Is that where my father was killed? storytelling, man!

Off topic. The thread is about os x, not ios. Try to keep up.

dude probably had mental problems. who kills themselves over an internship after just a month?

If these guys in Anonymous have a tenth of common sense as they have hacking skills, they'll keep their mouths shut about specifics.
but they're in it for the lulz, remember? no lulz if it's a secret.
