instead of stealing my app, you could do things the "old fashioned way:"
1) read app store reviews and ratings
2) read external reviews like touch arcade.com
3) use word o mouth / "the social network"
4) if shiit don't work, contact the developer for a refund.
you have plenty of options w/o getting all righteously upset.
News? you mean ACTA, PATRIOT, RIAA, drones, lehman brothers, fukushima, katrina, bin laden? do you need more? oh and palin and bush and limbaug and beck and rush. suffish? convinced now?
I'm afraid the Maryland DOC case is a poor example of invasion of privacy.
yes and no. actually, mostly no. The MD case was so egregious because applicants had to log in during the interview and the foolio giving the interview would peruse his shizznit. if the info is passed on to third party background mofos, then this is less demeaning because your potential boss or coworkers isn't snickering at your personal junk. sounds like invasion of privacy to me.
Has a single company that has done this been identified by name? Every article I've seen does NOT mention any name, making it sound more anecdotal than factual.
another thing to consider is that macs have better resale value. I bought a $1500 mbp that came with a free ipod touch. flipped my *five year old* mbp on craigslist for $500 and the ipod for $200, which brought the new computer purchase down to $800. not too shabby, eh?
oh come on. Are you in a position to evaluate the performance of your helmet against the specifications? Are you going to evaluate foam density? Impact strength? etc? I don't think so. Consumers can rely on certification bodies and tort law to ensure helmets are reliable. no consumer needs the ISOXXX standards, and it wouldn't be helpful. Try to find a better example, if you can.
is this really the crisis to end all crises? i deduce that on average a standard specification is $100. Who would care about the specifications for bicycle helmets? those that make helmets, perhaps? they can't spend $100? in terms of civil liberties, i'm not shedding a tear.
You piss people off before they have a real chance to test your app then you stand to lose that customer.
How can you piss off customers before they have downloaded your app? By not giving them a free version? Stands to reason that it's no big loss to piss off people who want something for nothing.
that's cool. so you'll use your purchasing power in your company to support your own ideological agenda (happy shiny workers) rather than what's in the best interest of the company... super. would you feel responsible if layoffs resulted from your suboptimal business purchases? how does that figure into the worker equation?
if parent would have bothered to search google, he would have seen that the price in question would be $1140, not $1400. But sure, inflate your data by 25% to support your argument...

Freedom of speech does not include freedom to slander.
I figured you'd say that, you sheep-romancer! Like the wool, don't ya.
The real question is, is our children learning?
...passwords. Be sure they're hardened and salted. Also, redundancy and the cloud.
To dawg, I heard you like backups, so I backed up your back up so your computer can fail while it fails.
Yes, I saw that your post got +5, so I did the same title as a response to an earlier comment, and also got +5!

the "foreigner" is a non-domestic eel. syas nothing about the importation source or who is doing it.
usually, most problems are from republicans. so it's a pretty safe assumption. that's why we need anonymous - to stand up for internet freedoms!

sobu or whatever his name is from anonymous rang up $70k in stolen CC charges. activist or criminal?
there's a difference between hacktivists and cybercriminals? sounds like a false distinction to me.
a reasonable post about apple on slashdot... how dare you! are you socialist or something?

Besides, I sincerely doubt that my organization's health depends on whether we use iPads or Galaxy Tabs.
perhaps, but it will surely affect employee satisfaction!
