If Congress didn't want advanced communication capability to mean services capable of bi-directional high-quality video conferencing, then they shouldn't have put that definition in the Telecommunications Act of 1996. FCC is following the definition Congress set forth, and you have to draw an arbitrary line somewhere. FCC came up with a number because Congress was too chicken to do so.
Because when I order stuff on the phone with my credit card, that is the same as shouting my credit card number, CCV, and expiry date on the street corner.
Hillary implies a lot of things. She said her email server wasn't used for classified info. When Hillary says things, you have to consider them in light of available facts. It's hardly surprising that she would represent Apple's position in a way that is sympathetic to her own, but that doesn't mean I'll just take her word for it.
VoIP over wireless. Which essentially is what VoLTE is. So the choice is to either provide customers with the privacy they need, or watch your billion dollar investment in packet voice go up in smoke because everyone is using an open source alternative.
By publishing deliberately malicious software on the App store to circumvent their own device security in select cases. Because the data is encrypted in storage doesn't mean it's encrypted while in RAM. This something which has been attempted before, although I doubt Apple themselves were responsible in that case.
LTE networks are useful for more than "consuming content". The reason these networks aren't used more widely in an infrastructure setting is that their reliability is poor and they are expensive currently, so you see custom wireless solutions a lot, which ironically are often cheaper than what the telco provides once you account for bandwidth charges. There's a huge untapped market that is very elastic to price. In the US the major players are protected by fences of regulation, so they aren't interested in aggressive expansion, which carries risk. So they sell this line that people don't really want or need fast wireless internet.
VZW, like ATTW, plays games with their profitability by using lease agreements to shift liabilities between the wireless and wireline side of their business, because the regulated nature of the wireline side allows them to account for costs differently. There is a huge push to block regulators access to deployment numbers and revenues from "special access" facilities, which are what is used by the wireline carrier to provide backhaul for the towers; an FCC rule change allows them to report bogus numbers since roughly 2000.
What you fail to grasp is that blackmail can be used to gain things instead of just money. It can, for example, be used to alter government policy, or deter police investigations. That's the whole purpose of honeytraps in the intelligence services. If you think leading a virtuous life means blackmail won't affect you, you're not thinking creatively enough.
Then people would stop using Firefox like they stopped using IE. People use Firefox because it can be made to obey the wishes of users. A browser which doesn't obey isn't as useful as one that does. Would you buy a car that slammed on the brakes automatically at every billboard? Would you even agree to ride in one for free?
The problem isn't that Intel driver files are secret. The problem is HTTP can't ensure the XML file that tells where to download hasn't been changed in transit. Most likely this was done in order to be proxy friendly. The downside is you get pwned if Satan is your proxy.
I think you can make a strong argument that the Dulles brothers and their circle of supporters, who effectively ran US foreign policy for a long time, were as openly fascist as it was possible to be and remain a free person in the US. While they could not implement their vision of governance in the US itself, they implemented it virtually everywhere else the US had political influence, which is the cause of much anti-American sentiment today.
He's saying LPs are ignored most of the time. They're not. ALPR systems record every plate scanned by the camera; that is, in fact, the whole point of running ALPR. The data is used to correlate movements of vehicles over a period of time. In some cases, the data is used for tax enforcement or charging of tolls. There is no requirement of an infraction for that to occur, and the storage required to track the movements of tagged vehicles is trivial. What he's asking for is a government mandated supercookie.
US tbills are the equivalent of buying bars of gold and burying them in the ground, at best. The investment is safe because they technically can't go broke; they'll just print new currency to pay you back. For that reason, they pay almost nothing to borrow that money. Why would they, when the Reserve can just have the Treasury print money and give it to themselves? That means you get virtually no return on your investment, but you risk being paid back later in devalued currency. The interest rate isn't coming back to a reasonable level in my lifetime.
The process of classification of documents is part of the problem. What is the point of elections if candidates are forbidden from talking clearly about policy? Why not let a secret court decide the next President? Classified info intersects nearly every foreign policy issue before the candidates, and plenty of domestic ones.
No it isn't, because they don't pay records department employees $200/hour. They are allowed to charge what it costs to produce the record (along with legally required redaction). No one is paying anybody $200/hour to watch dash cam video and remove references to minors. They're trying to use the court to stop a fishing expedition, which is what this is.

Or, they could just wait for Sean Penn to do an interview. I hear that works.
Good plan. Send Apple to Gitmo. Your 401k will thank you.

I think a better analogy is a 500 HP engine with a one-gallon fuel tank and special fuel that costs $1000 a gallon.
If the federal government had not dropped helicopter money on Verizon to upgrade their fiber backhaul I would be more sympathetic.
You can run Gigabit over wireless with the right transmitters, but if you don't have the backhaul capacity then the air bitrate is irrelevant.
They don't. And 5G is marketing hype. There's no such thing. LTE is called "long-term" for a reason.
So the backup generators they seem to put at every site don't require fuel or preventative maintenance?

Their update utilities often come preloaded on OEM machine images.

If it's one that has less addictive properties than opiates but similar efficacy then yes.
A 4 billion dollar gift to a major campaign contributor. And so on it goes.
