This leaves no bad taste in my mouth - Apple acted correctly from the start. Sunny broke a legal and binding contract, unlike the people sued by the RIAA who had no contractual agreement.
The rule about not suing poor people is oft quoted. I have heard it used by more than one poor student I know as a justification for any action they care to take. They figure that there are no consequences to their actions. This lawsuit is a consequence with a capital C. Frankly, if this convinces students that their actions might just have consequences, then it was worth the trouble.
Look, if you screw up, you have the chance of really, really suffering far out of proportion to the harm you intended. You may not - Sunny did not in this case - but you most certainly can. That is a valuable lesson, and it appears that it was learned.
Had Sunny driven drunk, he might have faced felony criminal prosecution, jail time, and a lot of problems in future life, even if he did not hurt anyone. One extra drink at a bar, and a misjudgment about your own impairment, and your life takes a sudden, dramatic, explosive downward turn. Sunny had a misjudgment that took about the same amount of time, and harmed about as many people as getting caught in a holiday sobriety test. He suffered worry, but his life was not ruined, he did not get jail time, and he did not have to give up his future. That was quite a win for him, and I suspect he, and a lot of other people, are going to be more careful in the future.
What separates this from the RIAA lawsuits, in my mind, is one simple crystal clear fact - he agreed to a legal binding contract. He agreed to not distribute the information, and then he broke the contract. This is serious stuff.
If nothing else, such leaks make Apple less likely to distribute proprietary information in the future. I need that information, and I want companies to trust in their NDAs, as otherwise, they will not tell me what I need to know to plan my future products. So, I do want people to take an NDA seriously, just like I want people to take all contracts they sign seriously. You may choose to break one, but for goodness sake, understand the potential consequences.

I think you have misunderstood what this is. It is a monitor with two layers of display, one behind the other, so the surface is still smooth and flat.
But I do agree with you that a tactile display would be extremely cool.
But I'm looking forward to when we get transparent displays with resolutions of tenths of microns (ok, this is a bit far in the future) so we can have real 3-D holographic displays. That would be even cooler (at least for those of us with eyes).
It's not currently cool, but it has potential

One thing you can't really do with hardware layering and mixdown is provide a feeling of space - with this screen you can move your head ever so slightly and get a concept of depth, even if its only minor.
This could have exciting implications for future GUI design, and if they perfect the manufacturing process to the point where more than 2 planes can be sandwiched (say, 32 or 64?) then we start seeing some really interesting opportunities for GUI design, not to mention the artistic value, which is often inappropriately overlooked in technology.
Imagine a GUI that gives you a degree of depth inherently without requiring large resources - buttons could have 3d edges that were handled at the hardware level, rather than software - thus making for better resource management, and therefore leading to more efficient GUI performance. This may seem minor, and perhaps it is, but I can see how this would have potential.
Once we get up to the 64-pixel Z-plane level of production, I can see widgets being designed that use the Z-plane to provide ancilliary info feedback to the user without requiring any more interaction on the users part than to just move their head and look closer.
I was thinking about this similar "liveliness" aspect of GUI design the other day when playing with http://www.praystation.com/ (excellent web page) - it'd be nice if there were some way to produce a screen that could figure out what you were looking at, perhaps by bouncing something off your retina and doing geometry to get a point of what you're looking at. In the 80's, marketing devices that used lasers to see what you were looking at were used to do market research of TV commercials - it'd be nice to see something like this built into LCD screens, so we could do away with the mouse altogether.
But the thought I had was that, with something like this, the longer you look at the control the more information it could provide you - bringing a "liveliness" aspect to the control that we don't currently have with the static 2d shapes we call user interfaces right now.
Having a 3D screen with a 64-layer Z-plane would be another way to add 'liveliness' to an interface... you could for example build a mixing console that provides you with channel insert information, with amplituded represented in depth.
I'd say 64-layer Z-planes would be the next major step for this company. Get things to that point, and the GUI design world starts to get *really* interesting...
Xerithane, I take back my statement. I no longer find you morbidly amusing, I officially declare you to be "fucking hilarious." Everytime I click Submit, I would presume that you would either run off quietly in defeat, or apologize for your ignorance. However, you have proved to be able to outdo yourself with even more outrageous hypocrisy in every single reply.
Since you seem to lack any considerable long-term memory schema to prevent yourself from constradicting your previous posts, I thought parting gift would be a score card for you.
Xerithane - Demonstration of ignorance:
"All you have to do is hack together a box that has the code to play it on there. If it's done over ethernet then connect it to the network and find a way to translate all queried IP's or hosts to that one box." -- on PS2 Authentication security, when the article as specifically mentioned that the unique network ID and disc ID will be used to guarantee uniqueness.
"I know how easy it is to do this type of stuff. And yes, I have in fact done similar things in the past to get around some of the silly authentication." -- more on the PS2 Authentication security he hasn't even see yet.
"First off, you think I really give a fuck about my karma? Did you look at my user id? My karma bounces between 40-50 and I really could care less." -- will somebody tell Xerithane that Karma is not been publically displayed on/. for almost a year?
"The main reason why Q3A/Half-Life hasn't been cracked is probably because no one who could do it gives a shit because we can afford it." -- Xerithane does a lot of network stuff, but obviously he doesn't know jack shit about encryption
The reason why people cracked CSS is more because of a political reason (it wont work on Linux, we want it on Linux) than a "I'm a poor bastard who has to pirate" reason. Good enough answer for your dumb ass or you want me to connect the dots even further?" -- anyone who has climbs out of the cave once in a while knows that DeCSS only had a Windows version, and the source code was sent to the LiVid mailing list.
Xerithane - Demonstration of incoherency and lack of reading comphrension:
"Wrong, it was broken because an untrusted party decided to break it's dodgy implementation." -- I never said it wasn't.
Xerithane - Demonstration of hypocrisy/contradictions:
"why don't you learn who you are addressing before calling me an "ego-bloated/. user"." -- for hypocrisy, please refer to "Xerithane - Demonstration of insecure denfensiveness".
"I just proved, without a doubt, that you are quick to respond without knowing the entire details." - ROTFLMAO! Anyone remember what started this argument in the first place?
"Failing miserably on all cases, you are so adamant that you are correct in everything that you never stop to think that maybe there are other solutions." -- after he insisted that my answer was "wrong", and his was "correct"
1 - "You are a little 19 year old kid."
2 - "I'm 20 years old."
1 - "little pissant kids like you straight out of college"
2 - "I'm 20 years old, finished college at 18"
Xerithane - Demonstration of insecure defensiveness and unfounded accusations:
"Sorry good sir, but you are quite frankly an idiot. First off, I write network code." -- trying hard to insult the opponent and certifying his own insignificant qualifications.
"You come from an.edu -- lets hope they can teach you some common sense." -- trying hard to shoot me down, because of Ryan's.edu address! Typical flamebot.
"And yes, they are stupid folk. Most the population is stupid folk -- you just proved that as your response puts you in that class."
"I do what I do, I say what I mean. I know what I can do, and I do it. It's not my fault you envy my abilities and think you have to talk bad about me to make me feel better."
hahahahahahaha!!!! it all makes sense now! My solution wasn't wrong, it's just not your solution. Can you point out in what way my solution wasn't "correct" (i.e. doesn't satisfy the requirements of your question), other than the fact that it wasn't what you had in mind?
Sorry old fart, but I thought being an employee for that many years should teach you that there is no single correct solution for everything in life. Only textbooks give you a single solution. I guess the college you went to never really taught you THAT before they let you out did they? (and yet you still seem too dense to pick that up on your own)
Also, your solution clobbers the integrity of the data structure. It's a real cute trick Xerithane, but the next guy that wants to print out the integers in its proper order would probably want to go postal on your "correct" lardass. Of course, the solution goes well with your philosophy of trying hard to impress in terms of obfuscation, and yet failing to deliver in terms of practicality. However, I did expect from you a better justification for squirming out of the PS2 security problem (which you obviously have no clue how to solve)
I don't need friends with mod points, because I dont really care about slashdot that much -- the best part of it is having discussions with stupid people who don't realize they are stupid. Thanks.
Hey, next thing you know you'll say you don't need friends at all, since no one appreciates your unfounded arrogance! (Or perhaps they don't give a shit about your "qualifications", because you argue with the eloquency of a drunk on a NYC subway train)
You're right about the last part though - it's frustrating to get you to admit you're stupid, but at the same time it's also morbidly amusing when you don't!
Sorry, you failed -- you just aren't worthy. Proving that you really are as inexperienced and ignorant.
haha, that's funny. I searched on Google and all I can find are answers basically said what I said. Talk about ironic. And notice that you could've answered my question still, but yet you had to choose a way to squirm out of it! Now that is pretty sad for a senile programmer hitting his mid-life crisis. Do you tell your colleagues that you lie that way to save yourself from embarassment?
I'll make sure to pass on your great qualifications and reputation! Now this is truly a classic to archive for sharing.
Yes, and I'm sure Johan said, "This can be cracked" long before it was released.
How "sure" are you? As in "making up stories" sure, or "adlibbing" sure?
One of the first things they should have taught you is no system that has an untrusted party is ever truly secure.
Obviously the news that Half-life and Q3A still has working authentication hasn't gotten to your cave yet. That's ok though!
It works, for standard folk. You really have no idea who I am what so ever, or what I do, and it makes it that much more fun when you talk shit about me.
Right. Like you know who I am. I guess this is the kind of hypocrisy promoted in the colleges for kids like you. Some of us receive better education that tells us the weakest link in network security is human interaction, and that CSS was poorly designed from a cryptographic point of view.
(You did know that CSS was broken because of shoddy implementation and shoddy design, not because "no untrusted party is ever truly secure" right? It would be horribly embarassing if you didn't know that)
Oh, and can you please explain to me again why Q3A and Half-life hasn't been hacked yet? You casually avoided that point in your reply.
I'll give you a cookie if you reply again, plus a little homework exercise that I can cook up in 5 mins that you won't be able to crack.
Yes, I'm sure you said the same thing when people said it's possible to crack CSS
From what I heard, they tried to crack CSS after it was out, not after lamekid gaming magazine said there would be encryption involved.
No, coming from an.edu means you are another sheep in the herd. What's it like to not be able to think freely?
Right. As if your rebelish opinion about college educations is a truly unique perspective. There are hundreds of slashbots that share your opinion whenever those "ask slasdot: is college education necessary?" articles pop up. Talk about tech support/sysadmin groupthink.
Oh whoopdee doo. Are you trying to impress me? Try again. I know plenty of people with a more impressive skillset than "writing network code."
I know how easy it is to do this type of stuff. And yes, I have in fact done similar things in the past to get around some of the silly authentication.
Hey idiot, all you have read is a dailyradar article. Don't assume that just because you can write "network code," you can hack your way around a product that you don't even know about.
For example, Xerithane (speaking of tasteless geeky nicknames), Half-life and Q3A still has a secure and working authentication system. Let's see you prove yourself by cracking that, wiseass.
You come from an.edu -- lets hope they can teach you some common sense.
If coming from a.edu would mean I have common sense, it's obvious you didn't come from one.
don't be silly. fair use doesn't guarantee you the right to duplicate everything you want.
Should I ask for the cable company to splice me another connection for fair use? "but d00d, have the rights to watch the cable I PAID for in my bedroom, living room, AND closet!"
Thanks for overreacting. Guess you couldn't wait to finish reading my post before being trigger-happy with the reply button. Honee, read this:

This unit is sure to leech off marketshare from Palm and PocketPC when it comes out.
Dave Farber once gave a guest lecture at University of Toledo on Freedom of Speech and Society. His passion and charisma truly inspired those of us at the lecture.
Here's the beginning of the transcript of the speech. Sorry, no links, since the whole transcript was only available internally to Utoledo students.
"I am a faculty member of the Computer and Information Science Department and of the Electrical Engineering Department.at the University of Pennsylvania. I also teach in our new Telecommunications and Networking MS program and am on the Faculty Council of the SEI Center for Advanced Studies in Management of the Wharton School.
At UPenn, I am Director of the Distributed Computer Laboratory -- DSL where, with Prof. Jon Smith, we manage leading edge research in High Speed Networking. Research papers of the DSL are available in its electronic library.
Some of my early academic research work was focused at creating the worlds first operational Distributed Computer System -- DCS while I was with the ICS Department at the University of California at Irvine. After that, I was with the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Delaware, I helped conceive and organize CSNet, NSFNet and the NREN.
My industrial experiences are extensive, Just as I entered the academic world, I co-founded Caine, Farber & Gordon Inc. (CFG Inc.) which became one of the leading suppliers of software design methodology. I am also on a number of industrial advisory boards including Metricom, COM21, Earthlink, Intertrust , Covad, Torrent and the DICE Company...."

This leaves no bad taste in my mouth - Apple acted correctly from the start. Sunny broke a legal and binding contract, unlike the people sued by the RIAA who had no contractual agreement.

I also teach in our new Telecommunications and Networking MS program and am on the Faculty Council of the SEI Center for Advanced Studies in Management of the Wharton School.
At UPenn, I am Director of the Distributed Computer Laboratory -- DSL where, with Prof. Jon Smith, we manage leading edge research in High Speed Networking. Research papers of the DSL are available in its electronic library.
Some of my early academic research work was focused at creating the worlds first operational Distributed Computer System -- DCS while I was with the ICS Department at the University of California at Irvine. After that, I was with the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Delaware, I helped conceive and organize CSNet, NSFNet and the NREN.

I am also on a number of industrial advisory boards including Metricom, COM21, Earthlink, Intertrust , Covad, Torrent and the DICE Company...."
