New privacy laws are coming, at least in the EU. According to the General Data Protection Regulation, EU residents will, among others, have options to access and purge information collected about them come May 28th, 2018. How this will work in practice remains to be seen.
The petition was apparently open to the entire world, so the actual number is way lower. Percentage of signing citizens does not say much, however. A more interesting number would be signing persons by persons aware of the petition.
How is it possible they have a BILLION active users when (people like me) have never once used it?
Even if there are 6.4 BILLION people like you, they could still have a billion active users. Also, your trillion dollar claim is invalid, Facebook is valued at around 350 billion.
let us know which "things" should be kept off the internet.
To prevent Mirai, things with default passwords. Any (accessible) Linux device with a common user/password will be infected within minutes of being connected to the Internet.
Frontpage stuff right here. I'd love to see more articles like this one, preferably from other manufacturers as well, so I know what I'm getting into when buying stuff that can be misplaced.
No need for follow-ups. Swamps are drained to provide economically exploitable land, harming flora and fauna in the process. They are protected to preserve a healthy ecosystem, and now this one is being drained because of a few moderately detrimental mosquitoes. Be careful what you wish for.
Some companies test crucial functionality before publishing updates. Maybe, once they've acquired enough means to do so, the company responsible for this product will too.
I have Verified by Visa as well, but as you say, it only works on websites that have it enabled, which makes it useless for attacks of this sort. One way to prevent them, is to disable web payments for all credit cards, and use virtual prepaid cards instead.
Brute-forcing arbitrary card numbers from hundreds of different sites cannot be mitigated, but doing the same for a single number should be quite easy to spot and block. Even setting a timeout of, say 15 minutes, after 3 incorrect attempts would probably be enough to spot the unusual behavior before correct details are guessed.
A more robust way would be to force two-factor authentication for all online purchases, rendering knowing random card details useless.
If the answer is so obvious, why does it even warrant a reply? There is, to my knowledge, no announcement of plans for any kind of Muslim registry. These companies get billions of dollars in contracts from the U.S. government. What value is added by denouncing a hypothetical worst-case scenario, cobbled together by reading between the lines of incoherent statements by its leader-to-be? I agree that this shouldn't be a story. Not until a registry is actually proposed. And if that happens, the stance of a few tech companies wont be the most pressing matter.

The immortal jellyfish begs to differ.
Well, if money burns a hole in your pocket...
No true real people would need such a thing.
Which is exactly what this article implies. In order to attain equal pay, women need to work more and get higher paying jobs.
I wonder if they also noticed, that right next to the touch bar is another screen with the same capabilities!

battery life ranged from 19.5 hours...
Which is why this needs to be fixed.
And now they possibly face a 100M fine for lying about it. If they do get fined, maybe next company will live up to their claims.
According to the rest of the world, around 3.5 billion are, "dumbass".

we hope to never make any money from it
Imagine their disappointment should their hopes shatter.

Or maybe a vaccine?
SolarMovie seems nice. Thanks, Barbara!

Oops, meant 4.756 billion.
Adjusted sales price: 4.844 billion
No need to read privacy policies. Just check "I agree" and go about your day.

Well, you have to start somewhere. Why not by reading TAOCP? Can't be terribly complex.
