Live-streaming murder is illegal. They're simply telling the execs that run these businesses, "You sure look like you don't give a fuck about the results of what you're putting out in the world. You should give a fuck, or you'll be taken away from the world and put into a cage."
I don't understand. If I post music on my website, allowing others to download it free of charge, and the artists don't get paid for their work, I get in trouble. Why shouldn't a corporation?

I personally define "news" as 'information dressed up'. But that's not what I'm asking. I'm just wondering why apple, a technology company, needs to charge for information dressed up by others. I guess for the money of it all, but I wonder if they want to make available, news that fits their ideology.
I wonder how much usage plays into their decision to pull a project. After all, Google+ was around for waaay longer than it seems it should have. For all I know it's still around.
I think that if there were an ad that showed the reality of how FaceBook works... Maybe something like what the tobacco companies had to do with that whole Truth movement. That would be cool.
Maybe you can help me understand what lobbying is. Here's my current understanding:
Lobbyists are independent contractors that are hired by corporations in order to bribe public officials in order to pass laws that help the company succeed in whatever current economic environment exists.
"Big Data", the unannounced catch-phrase of the early 2010's. Amazon didn't have faith in the value of Big Data. Looks like they're changing their minds.
But can it serve to billions of people simultaneously?
I don't see why not. Think of what google has been capable of since the late 90s, and what they're capable of now. Forget about what they do with their search engine and think about all of the 'apps' that they 'run' for the user. Microsoft is moving, quickly, to an all-online-based 'apps' system. They're battling the current zeitgeist that goes against any notion that reflects: 'it has to be connected to the internet to work', but eventually I feel like they'll get around it in the name of security and/or copyright issues, mixed, of course, with the needs of entitled corporate shareholders, everywhere.
Compared to local computing, this will require much more electricity for the same performance.
I feel like each PC sitting there preforming the little mundane tasks that they do, is a huge waste of power. Imagine a scenario where you have 200 users on 200 PCs at 200 desks, each running MS Word. Now imagine a scenario where 200 users on 200 smart devices, each logged into a Terminal Server, each running MS Word.
Technology always seems to surprise us all every so many years.
Cloud Computing... I feel like eventually having your own computer will be illegal. All that will be permissible will be some version of a "smart" dummy terminal. Look to China to move on this first, and watch as microsoft and google compete to own "computing" itself.
I just have a hard time picturing 66 million people scratching their heads about "how to get water", while it's pouring on their heads from above almost daily, and completely surrounding them.
I just ditched a gig at a Tier1 vendor because they picked a Coldfire (68k) processor because it was "in production". They had no dev boards. They can't find dev boards. But the whole project was stuck with the decision because of politics that happened far away from where I was.
This is the same reason that we're not ready to go to Mars, yet. The human problem has yet to be solved by technology, and so the human problem poisons technology.

Seriously, where does this stop. WW3 I assume.

What's the difference between information and news, from the standpoint of a technology company like Apple, and why?

Children aren't awful. Why wouldn't you consider the parents the reason the kids were able to eat the tide pods?

Are you referring to citizens as customers??
I think that where there's a 'social responsibility', there's a very 'socially responsible' person that decided what it was.
They should change their name to "Law-buying Lobbyists", or "Government-bribing Lobbyists". That way it's crystal clear who they are.
At what point, if any, do we start holding PDP responsible for the actions of his fans?
Blame someone for the actions of others...? Should we blame Tide for the idiots that ate their Tide-pods?

As long as most of the global computing power doesn't physically belong to corporations
I feel like this is already happening. Microsoft is working hard in this direction with their Azure environment. Google already has the chrome box.
...average internet isn't accessible everywhere and its speed isn't high enough
All we'll be doing is basically remote desktop.
Cloud Computing... I feel like eventually having your own computer will be illegal. All that will be permissible will be some version of a "smart" dummy terminal. Look to China to move on this first, and watch as microsoft and google compete to own "computing" itself.
It doesn't help that people generally do not want to admit there even is a 'human problem'
That is the human problem.

These words together in any fashion makes me a little uncomfortable.

Most Linux distros come with "shred" installed. Shred was designed to work with older file systems, but can certainly wipe a whole drive as easy as:
shred -z -n 5 /dev/sda
Seems like all the previous ones before that nullified the need for a password.
Except that it's not a joke. I'm pointing out the absurdity in the situation.
