Russian and Chinese spies would be incompetent if they didn't already know everything Snowden leaked, judging by how easy it was for him to do so.
Same with the Bradley Manning leaks, with tens of thousands of people have that level of security access.
I find browsing even 'legit' websites on my Android phone brings up malicious pop up ads warning my phone has a virus, and need to download. Clicking on the link would start a download for the malicious app to try and side-load it onto the phone.
A recent site which tried to this was slickdeals.net, but there have been more than a few others.
Although not remote wiping as such, in New Zealand we have a system across all the major networks where when a phone is reported stolen, the IMEI number is barred from connecting to the networks.
: "Considering that you helped a foreign power conspire to break NZ law, why should we allow you to continue to work in our country?"
To which the answer would be something like : "Because we're a hideously rich gigantic corporation operating out of your lord and master the US, suck it Kiwis."
And while you at it, sign up for that TPP thing already so we can screw you even more
So how easy would it be for a US developer with mad skillz to emigrate, even temporarily, to NZ to work?
Not too difficult, but easier to down the skilled migrant permanent residency route. Input your details in the points calculator - 140 points means you're selected straightaway. 120 points and IT experience means you'll probably be selected in a few months. Difficult to get a job offer without securing a visa beforehand, and preferably being in the country already too..
Australia is probably easier for a temporary work permit - check out the '457' visa
The skilled migrant system in Australia, NZ and Canada seems to work well - a points system with adjustable quotas and bonus points for areas of absolute skills shortage, with a well defined path to residency and citizenship.

Is Stan O'Neal even a citizen or resident of an EU country? How does the European Court ruling even apply to him?

The Jeff Hammerbacher articlethat quote is from on this subject is also very good: http://www.businessweek.com/ma...
Imagine how much more money these high frequency trader types could have made if they read this article a year ago.. http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/12/12/11/0053259/high-frequency-traders-use-50-year-old-wireless-tech
Looks like Slashdot needs to update its image for Firefox stories too, it's still on the old one..
To gain respectability, Slashdot copies New York Times?
So it's not ok to hack Hospitals and Dams, but it's fine to drop bombs on them?
I thought line of sight microwave links were the new low latency rock star tech for Wall Street? Could this run alongside the fibre? http://slashdot.org/story/12/12/11/0053259/high-frequency-traders-use-50-year-old-wireless-tech
It hurts my eyes to read fibre spelt that way.

Anybody know which charity the money is going to? EFF sounds like a fine choice.
And anyone know which charity the lawyers are donating their fee to?
