Ha! The people who did this are probably arrogant enough to believe that sort of thing can always be placed on their CV they send to MPAA/BSA/etc. See: Revolving Door.
I don't want a bi-directional conversation with a hand-held device. I want a uni-directional channel to issue commands and get results. Android has this.
the behaviour exhibited is exactly how the classical cowardly school yard bully works, pushing people around and making demands until confronted and then finding some excuse to back down.
Exactly! 'Cept you seem to think the bully was the Zetas, whereas I suspect the bullying was done by some Feds.
Cowards wouldn't have initiated a challenge in the first place. Cowards don't throw down a gauntlet in front of the Zetas, and then walk away quietly. Something else is awry.
I'm pretty sure that Anonymous would have (did?) discovered undercover moles inside the Zetas...... so the real question is who didn't want to be discovered by Anonymous?
True... but the people who work for him/her what them to be the last one to experience any outage/vulnerability/issue, and therefore that person/group/etc often gets what most others don't. 1% vs 99%
People in power also tend to get more exceptions than the rest of us. I would bet $100 that, if the CEO of VZ has an Android phone, the Facebook app on his/her phone doesn't have a VZ forced-installed, bloatware, always-running Android Service called FacebookUploader.
I dumped FB months ago and I don't work for Google. Google+ is built around privacy. It means nothing when some analyst can't see what my friends and I are communicating about.

....is the root of all evil (or so the most moral book says)
Apple is an outsourcing manufacturer of niche products. Samsung is a global innovator AND manufacturer.

Go ahead and guess which tool a carrier could use to collect that data.
To prep for the inevitable ground forces and occuation?
I concur
Google Health too.

I wonder what OSes Mr. Piatti uses. I wonder they will be the same ones next year.
Nice try Adobe Salesperson.
How is this different than the hacking that Steve Jobs did? Communications hacking is communications hacking, no?
Because nothing secret has any value unless ut can be shared. Sharing data is where the fun begins.
This makes me want to switch to a Sprint smartphone plan.
Oh, this is a Software Solution..... yeah, that will will work properly 100% of the time. Move along.

Seriously. AOL keeps my relative's PC experience safe; which, generally, keeps them from bugging me for help. :-)
Yes, but that is *my* choice.

Thx, but I already did. ;-)
