Apple's products are stagnating-- if they don't do something then consumers will probably lose interest because owning an iWhatever will no longer be a status symbol or even be something with any utility.
Samsung's recent tribulations over their batteries are also a crack in the armor-- the CEO's of Samsung's competitors should take a pay cut for failing to take advantage of that situation and displace Samsung's flagship phone with their own. I mean, it just fell right into their lap. All you gotta do is say "our phone doesn't explode" and you'd have made a fortune.
Or maybe he's trying to be just barely innovative enough, maybe get some juicy things patented, that Apple or Samsung will buy his company? That "wireless" accessories thing seems like it's right up Apple's alley, and Apple has plenty of money in their accounts...
It would be more precise to say that government regulation, or the threat of it, elicits a reaction from everyone potentially affected by it.
Whether it works or not is determined by whether the government action actually achieves the desired outcome and without making the situation worse.
That is sometimes the case. But far too often when the regulation fails to work there is also a failure to roll it back in a timely fashion and so the damage continues.

The WSJ is a reliably right wing media source. It's not a far-right loony bin like Brietbart or even Fox News - they have better editorial control than that - but they definitely have a political leaning. I consider them about as far as you can go on a right wing perspective without completely sacrificing rational thought. I consider them sort of the right wing equivalent of the New York Times.
Interesting combination of genetic fallacy and ad hominem-- especially interesting since you attacked their ability to think rationally while thinking irrationally yourself!
Useful sometimes but shouldn't be your only source of info.
Agreed.
As for doing their own research, you are wrong in the sense that it is hard and perhaps more importantly it is expensive. If it wasn't hard and expensive then what would be the point of paying WSJ journalists to do the leg work? That doesn't excuse them not doing it but it is actually hard to do well. You are right of course that for the WSJ to remain worthy of being read they need to actually do their own research and retain some semblance of journalistic integrity.
Agreed.
In some cases they have definitely failed in that regard.
In which cases, specifically?
Also, without having done the leg work yourself how would you know if they had failed?
As an employer, you'll probably have to pay less, too, because now they only want "extra" money from you, not the money they need to sustain themselves.
But the money to fund the UBI is being taken from the employer in the form of taxes, isn't it? So the employer wouldn't be coming out ahead unless they lobby to lower wages, right? Wouldn't this turn into a tit-for-tat like the reverse of the minimum wage situation where the government would increase the UBI and then employers lower wages to make up for it resulting in very little net change if any but wasting a lot of time and bickering in the process?
They will have every incentive to cut your pay as close to zero as possible. And what if they cut your pay to the point that (your new salary + UBI

What if the (UBI + your new salary == barely subsistence)?
Unless the government wants access then everything should be open to them.

Taxation, on the other hand, is the government coming and taking money from you, and you not getting anything in return.
I largely agree with you (say, 80%).
But considering that the government does provide some services (i.e. roads, sewage, water, etc.) wouldn't it be more precise to say:
Taxation, on the other hand, is the government coming and taking money from you, and you getting some things you want but mostly things you don't want in return.
The rate is set to reflect the difference between the market price and:
The regulated rates paid to Ontario Power Generation's nuclear and hydroelectric baseload generating stations;
Payments made to suppliers that have been awarded contracts through the Ontario Power Authority such as new gas-fired facilities, renewable facilities (like wind farms) and demand response programs; and
Contracted rates administered by the Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation paid to existing generators.
I added the bolding.
From en-powered.com (the second reference from the wikipedia article):
Why this fee is on my bill
The Global Adjustment fee is used to cover the costs of two major programs in the Ontario energy sector:
Firstly, this fee is used to cover the cost of all the energy conservation programs in Ontario, such as rebates for LED lighting and HVAC retrofits. This funding is also used for various recycling programs and other initiatives.
Secondly, in order to ensure a steady supply of electricity, the government promised electricity generators a certain level of income for the electricity that they produced. In almost every case, the electricity price guaranteed to generators is higher than the current wholesale cost of electricity. The difference between these two rates – the rate promised to electricity generators and the actual wholesale cost of electricity – is the Global Adjustment.
To cover the costs of these two programs, the Global Adjustment was added to the electricity bills of every consumer in Ontario.
Again, I added the bolding. In the second case it doesn't make clear whether or not renewable energy sources are included; but considering that the previous reference does include them I feel safe in assuming that renewables are included.
Overconsumption
Due to the Global Adjustment, there is now a disincentive for the province to consume less electricity. This was made painfully clear in the spring of 2016 when, after the entire province consumed less electricity due to an abnormally warm winter, electricity rates were still increased.
This happened because energy generators have been guaranteed a stable income stream. So, if they produce electricity that is not consumed, they are still being paid for this energy production. This is a great way to attract investment to our province, allowing generators to earn a return on their long-term investments, but it is terrible for consumers.
So government interference has screwed things up once again? Noted.
The article then shows some graphs and points out that the global adjustment is accounting for the vast majority of the increase in electricity rates for people in Ontario... and as the first reference mentioned, the global adjustment rate is helping to pay renewable sources to produce electricity.
The MSP report from 2011 is dated by now, but appears to show that government interference in the price of electricity increased the price.
The wikipedia reference that claimed that renewables accounted for only 3% of the price increase leads to 404 page. So, again, I would like some sources for this.
If you really care about getting energy costs down, you should demand nuclear plants have their guaranteed payment agreements cancelled (likely impossible) and support expansion of renewable energy as quickly as possible.
So you appear to be correct that demanding the cancellation of guaranteed
In fact, all available evidence suggests that only around 3% of the cost increase was due to "green" subsidies and FiT, the majority being other incidental costs and guaranteed payments to nuclear generators.
All available evidence, eh? So how about you post it, then?

Apparently you can manually aim at your own foot and mostly miss if you use WINE to install the wannacry .exe... But really, Linux is unaffected.
The distro I'm using is also much more modern than a fifteen year old abandoned OS from M$.
Doing that is easy for corporations on corporate-owned and controlled machines, but harder for governments to do at scale ...
Meanwhile, M$ is pushing W10 + spyware as hard as they can and forcing updates on all users. What a coincidence!

No problem. They just store all traffic in a huge database and crack it at their leisure later-- if they even need to.
