That's a reasonable argument, and I hope that when you're caught singing Happy Birthday to You to your child, that you're executed for it, you inhuman monster.
You could probably fry a city's electronics with it, but actually harming people would be difficult.
I'm pretty sure that after you knock them back into the stone age overnight (well, during the day) that they'll start harming each other pretty quickly. I mean, look at Iraq.
I imagine that Congress will pretend to think that it's not a weapons platform when they approve the funding for an "energy" system that has about 1% of the typical capacity of a coal or gas power plant. Mmm hmm.
Look, just because they're building sustained 10 megawatt lasers in orbit that can destroy any ground target as easily as looking at it doesn't mean they're going to... uh... sorry, I thought I had a point there for a second. Never mind. Please continue.
Out of interest, why do you believe that figure? Considering that the person posting it is on record as lying again and again about what SecuROM actually does, and the effect that it might have on your machine?
Those who mock the Shatner, those who dub him 'cheesy' or 'over the top' should ask themselves this: at what point during his performance of Kirk do you ever, even for one second, doubt that you are watching the captain of the starship Enterprise?
Shatner - like Doohan - is a method actor. When the camera is on him, he actually believes that he is in command of a starship, and his belief is what drags us kicking and screaming along with him. Love him or hate him, you could never catch him playing it at one iota less than warp 9. This new guy? Pwwwpt. He's just an actor. He's not the captain of the Enterprise.
Shatner. Is. Kirk.
Star Trek: The Documentary Series era. Is. Shatner.
And apparently completely speculative regarding whether they're actually being used or not. One interpretation for poor software sales is that the consoles aren't being used; another is that people are actually playing the games they already own. One statement from an anonymous "software house president" does not constitute evidence, particularly if he bet and lost the farm on porting RoboSlayer VI: The Gibulating to a platform that's better suited to and is bought to play other games.
All patents have to (or at least are supposed to) list similar but distinct prior art, in order to distinguish their own unique invention. You can't point to the disclosed prior inventions on the patent application itself and go "Ah hah, gotcha!". I mean, unless you like to pretend that you're a lawyer on Slashdot.
Wow, with all the loving you're giving them, they're sure to never pull another stunt like peddling you obsolete PPC shit while telling you that it's premium-grade Shinola.
More precisely, for "conduct that AT&T believes violates blah blah blah". Oh, and note "any law". Hmm, how about Chinese laws? Or Iranian? Or some really God awful repressive third world dictatorship, like Australia. So in effect, they can shut you down for any reason that they want; they just have 'believee' that you may have broken a law somewhere in the world.
I'd imagine that her contribution will be to answer really tough questions, like "Carly, would you view the latest White House economic policy as merely really great, or super hyper great?"
Apple are supposed to be the "good" guys to their fanbase
Apple regularly bitch-slap their fanbase like 2-bit whores. And still they come crawling back for more, whispering "It's not them, it's me. Apple will change, if I just love them enough," through their split, swollen lips. It's sad, is what it is.

It's SWAT. They execute people for a living. You don't send SWAT unless you want a body count.
If you thought that was childish, then this should drive you into a perfect fit of apoplexy.
Why would he have been under oath?
Even if he were, what are this bunch of pussies going to do about it? Actually, that may very well be his response.
Of course it will. After all, Apple told you for years that their machines were so expensive because PPC was infinitely superior to x86.
We already did that joke.

Wow, that makes more sense. I couldn't imagine how they'd burn all those North Korean missile silos with a wimpy 10 megawatts.

Why are you speaking for the 'overwhelming majority'? That's quite some ego you've got going there.
Name the product or GTFO.

First they came for the magnetic hard drives, and you said nothing, because you didn't use magnetic hard drives...
Yes, but not actors that look like young retards, surely? That Pine guy looks like he's got an extra chromosome tucked away in there somewhere.

Her lawyers are clearly morons though.
She should have gone for a guilty plea, but then majored on mitigation.
The jury should have been asked to consider this:
What matters here isn't the facts, which are clearly against the defendant, but the law, which is clearly against the people.
So in the long term, the inhabitants are only, what, only 5-10% dead then?
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
