They would like to use the device? Since iOS7, there is an anti-theft security measure that prevents a "misplaced" iOS device from being activated with a new AppleID unless the device was specifically "unregistered" from the AppleID of the previous owner. Wiping the device won't help, as the activation of the wiped device will ask for AppleID credentials of the previous owner.
There's no reason for private companies to profit off the basic requirements of a functioning society
So there should be no private energy companies? No private guards / security companies? No private education and no private health care? What a crock of shit.
Even then the bugs in Linux still get fixed faster.
But yeah, when volunteers are giving their own time to build me a killer operating system, I'm not going to harass them about a schedule. I give them thanks and positive vibes and sometimes donations. I think we all expect more from paid developers... but we don't always get it.
So how many Linux distributions are supported 12 years after launch? For free?
You can probably achieve similar results with a cheap Intel NUC, but I happened to have a Mini and I am VERY happy with the results. I use Rowmote as the remote control/touchpad/keyboard to control it, Air Video to stream my video library to my iPhone over the internet when not at home, XBMC and VLC locally as well as all the other usual suspects.
Yes it's relatively expensive, yes it's overkill. But it does the job really really well, shit just works and it's tiny and beautiful.

Makes it sound even more BS. 20,000 dollars which is supposedly what the project needs annually for electricity alone would easily cover any such "logistical reasons".
I believe the article is accurate. Back in 2010, a senior staff engineer received a pre-IPO offer from Facebook, but Google gave him $3.5M to keep him. I strongly suspect that person from 2010 and this person from this current article are the same, and it's probably Jeff Dean, one of the engineers who created Map-Reduce (which led to Hadoop and all that jazz) and other engineering feats.
Chances are, Jeff Dean makes several grades above that.
When Terrorism is 'Any action that is intended to influence the government', what is extremism?
you misquoted.
(b) the use or threat is designed to influence the government [or an international governmental organisation][2] or to intimidate the public or a section of the public, and

"let's vote them out of office" would qualify as a threat
2) If every democracy uses uses nuclear power everyone else will want it. And if you have a nuclear plant you have most of the really hard bits of a nuclear weapons program. Untrustworthy countries who probably shouldn't have the temptation of city-vaporizing weapons will want them. And it's kinda hard to convince an Iranian who thinks his country is perfectly trustworthy (to him it's those nasty Israelis you have to worry about) that everyone's life would be so much easier if his country didn't have the physical capability to finish the Holocaust. It's even harder to convince the Israelis, who (probably) currently have nuclear weapons, that everyone's lives would be so much simpler if they just switched to solar.
In other words if the choices are one or two more degrees of global warming, or letting every country in the world develop nuclear power, we're probably better off living with the warming.
This is one of the shittiest arguments ever. Out of all countries with nuclear capability, US happens to be the only one who has actually used nuclear weapons against another country. Additionally, the US has started several new wars in the past decade alone. So if we go along with your "trustworthy" line of reasoning, the US should be #1 on the list of countries to be denied any access to nuclear technology.
And he never said they did. However, the FCC in the US, and the corresponding authority in other countries, do certify cellular terminals, and do make it illegal to operate uncertified ones (in the normal way, on a public GSM network).
What makes you think other countries even HAVE a corresponding authority to begin with? I live in Finland and we don't have any authority with the power to decide what device can and what can't be used on a public GSM network.
GSM - free GSM module doesn't exists, replacing sw means revoke of certification and using non-certified device on public network is illegal
What a bunch of FUD. On your shitty network in a country with broken laws? Maybe. In the real world out there, operators don't "certify" devices. They provide a SIM and the SIM is used in the whatever device the customer pleases.
I keep hearing about this breach and that breach, but what I'd love to see are some seriously ambitious groups of skilled security engineers standing up to help encourage good security practices that are widely recognized and standardized.
According to the people with actual decision-making power, this would be too expensive. The end.
With the skeumorphism gone, the stock Calendar app finally became usable.
Wrong! It is the only stock apple app that it NOT full-screen capable. Why in gods name not? Consistency is the lifeblood of a UI. (I'm looking at you windows 8/8.1)
Anyone even moderately serious about FPS gaming was probably facepalming pretty bad in the Counterstrike part of the video, where after getting the crosshair roughly NEAR the target, the player had to make a second adjustment that took maybe half a second in order to actually get the target in the crosshairs and hit it. That's half a second too much. What was the benefit this controller added over the existing PS3/360 gamepads again?
There's no difference between the two parties that run America. The last election was between the rich white right-wing religious crazy guy and the rich black right-wing religious crazy guy, each of them representing their rich right-wing religious crazy organizations.
You've picked an ironic day to spout that sort of nonsense. Today, October 1, 2013, the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, started the major part of its implementation. That is a "gift" to the people of the United States from the Democratic party.
I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't want any "gift" I have to pay for.
So I see the brainwashing regarding "minor inflation is good" did work on you. Back in my day, we had a word for FALLING prices on essential goods, it was called "progress".
Yeah, I would love to see the price on my house keep falling in value while the debt keep growing.. On the business side this effect will limit investments.
Solution: don't get in debt. On the grand scale of things, mortgages are a very new "invention".

Because storing your private/confidential information in a cloud is a stupid idea, because you don't really have control over your data.
Anything you store in Microsoft's cloud is subject to the PATRIOT Act and can be demanded with a secret warrant.
So how about, use Office 365, but.... don't use the cloud features? Shocking idea, I know!
Does anyone actually use the damn Windows Key?
In Windows 8, you actually kinda have to.
I didn't pay $100 for Linux.

20,000 USD (or 20k CAD for that matter) pays for A LOT of electricity, so this sounds really fishy.

3 billion was the second offer, the first was 1.
Nobody can get obscenely rich from renewable easy to produce energy, therefore it is not, nor will ever be practical.
Elon Musk would like to have a word with you...

Not always with forced updates though.
Could you imagine turning on your old 486-DX266 and being told it was now installing windows 7
Except nobody is forcing you to install iOS7.
