It wasn't leaked until after he copied the trade secret so he could leak it. Losing something isn't leaking it, especially when it's concealed to look like something that is not a trade secret.
So, how do I get something defined as a trade secret so that I can sue people who photograph it?
Easy, RTFLaw:
(9) "Trade secret" means information, including a formula,
pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process,
that:
(A) Derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from
not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can
obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and
(B) Is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the
circumstances to maintain its secrecy.
(b) Every person is guilty of theft who, with intent to deprive or
withhold the control of a trade secret from its owner, or with an
intent to appropriate a trade secret to his or her own use or to the
use of another, does any of the following:
(3) Having unlawfully obtained access to the article, without
authority makes or causes to be made a copy of any article
representing a trade secret.
(With the explanation before)
(a) As used in this section:
(7) "Copy" means any facsimile, replica, photograph or other
reproduction of an article, and any note, drawing or sketch made of
or from an article.
(2) "Article" means any object, material, device, or substance or
copy thereof, including any writing, record, recording, drawing,
sample, specimen, prototype, model, photograph, micro-organism,
blueprint, map, or tangible representation of a computer program or
information, including both human and computer readable information
and information while in transit.
Experienced leaders would have served them better in 1941-1942 than the political hacks they had running the army.
Hell, you don't even need to go to 1941. Do you think tiny little Finland would have bloodied the Red Army as badly as they did if it had been competently lead? I've always admired the Finns for their achievements in the Winter War, but the sad reality of the situation is that the Red Army would have crushed them if it had halfway decent leadership.
You mean the leadership that lost against Germany in WW1?
I don't know, maybe not purging the leadership of your Army? Maybe letting Generals make the decisions instead of political commissars?
So keeping the old guard in place would have won them the war, because obviously attacking with a lot of Cossacks would have been decisive against German tanks?
Yeah but the poor performance and portability between browsers at the moment makes Flash look really, really good.
On Windows. Because Flash has some performance and portability issues on anything but Windows, too. Which everyone here on Slashdot would have told you until the first rumors came up that the iPhone wouldn't have Flash.
Gee, maybe it's not me or "us", maybe it's you, you paranoid bastard. And why are you so full of yourself? Face it, it isn't really Apple you hate, it's - yourself. Fuck you and your lame attempts at rhetoric tricks you can fool your peers with. You're job at FOX News is safe.
Get ready for Apple fanbois coming in and commenting on this on why it's "innovative" and why suddenly "Apple shouldn't support HTML5".
But be assured that the Apple Hatebois will have made the first post, taking some innuendo from a second hand-report of two tweets made a year ago, adding their own prejudices on Apple to the mix and creating a stirring "proof" that Apple is evil.
So far all we know is that Apple probably wrote a tool that allows people to make web apps in a way similar to making OS X apps. And that it is supposedly used internally at Apple to make web apps on the Apple site - that are nothing but HTML(5) and JavaScript. Oooh, evil.
The California seafloor leaks are much larger. I don't think they know exactly how much, but this source quotes "8-80 Exxon Valdez spills", I would guess they mean annually. That's somewhere between 86.4 and 864 million gallons.
Actually, I believe it's much less than that:
Oil content of sediments is highest closest to the seeps and tails off with distance, creating an oil fallout shadow. The amount of oil in the sediments down current from the seeps is the equivalent of approximately 8 to 80 Exxon Valdez oil spills, the study said.
Sounds more like the sum over the whole time of the spill
There is an oil spill everyday at Coal Oil Point (COP), the natural seeps off Santa Barbara, where 20-25 tons of oil have leaked from the seafloor each day for the last several hundred thousand years.
And here we have an estimate not only for that duration, but also one for the daily spill - though the "tons" could mean a lot of things, it's likely following this, so 20-25 tons of crude oil are about 145 to 185 barrels. For an Exxon Valdez (250,000 barrels) spill this would take a little over 4 years - but they only talk about the oil in the sediments, not the one that got eaten by bacteria, or drifted ashore or into the Pacific.
this is why I'm against sudden rapid expansions of industry into sensitive environmental areas.
Article says "Drillers have long been wary of methane hydrates because they can pack a powerful punch. One liter of water ice that has trapped individual methane molecules in the "cages" of its crystal structure can release 168 liters of methane gas when the ice decomposes."
Doesn't exactly sound like this was a new and unforseen problem, it doesn't sound like this happened because we were being hasty.
But it does sound like a sudden rapid expansion. And it sure does sound that the problem was hastily ignored, because preventing it simply cost too much money.
The good news is that there will be a charity concert in New Orleans, so BP won't have to pay so much money to their victims.
Does this answer the "Details, you do not have them?"
So you guys want to continue bashing Apple for things they do better than their competitors - fine, nothing unexpected. Mind telling us what your highness wants to know about the accelerometer in the iPhone 3GS, but not about the ones in other phones? Is it something a simple Google search would offer? Like that it is a Accelerometer MEMS 3-Axis, ?2g/?4g/?8g, Digital Output by STMicroelectronics? What about the accelerometer, wanna tell me about it?
What are you talking about? Apple is shipping to Europe. TFA is about eastern European countries that are members of the EU, NATO, etc. and have been out of communism for 20 years. The EU countries have the same laws regarding intellectual property.
But they don't have the same distribution rights agreements - which are between the artists or more likely their original recording company and a local distributor. And the local distributer will not be Apple and probably not even anyone Apple has an agreement to sell music for.
"Apple's consumer website www.apple.com is one of the best designed websites out there."
WTF? Apple.com is crap, complete and useless.
Let's say I'm a visitor from Ukraine (I am, BTW). I go to apple.com - and see a site in English.
http://www.apple.ru/ redirects to http://www.apple.com/ru/ - Yeah, Apple doesn't just send me to a useless local site when I go to the.com site - now that is fucking annoying. Live with it.
I'm interested in the sensors of the iPhone
See where it has bullet points for
* Accelerometer
* Proximity sensor
* Ambient light sensor
Details, Apple. You do not have them.
Uh-hum. Let's compare to others:
Nokia (after wading through Flash) N 900: the only sensor is a "CMOS sensor" under "Camera" - so either none of those the iPhone has, or even less detail.
RIM: (again, lots of Flash) BlackBerry® Bold: "Light sensing screen", no other sensors.
HTC (again needs Flash to access) Hero: again, no sensors mentioned.
So Apple actually has better details then Nokia, RIM and HTC, and I doubt the most smartphone or computer makers will actually fare any better. But I'm sure you will try to claim victory by pointing to some obscure maker or some info available via secret handshake.

You might want to check the definition of a trade secret. It is no longer a trade secret once its leaked
It wasn't leaked until after he copied the trade secret so he could leak it. Losing something isn't leaking it, especially when it's concealed to look like something that is not a trade secret.
So, how do I get something defined as a trade secret so that I can sue people who photograph it?

At least in California.
Not to mention that you can't use a digital camera to "make a copy of the phone". It's a digital camera, not a replicator.
A copy of a trade secret, not of a phone. See California Penal Code Section 499c(b)(3):
(b) Every person is guilty of theft who, with intent to deprive or withhold the control of a trade secret from its owner, or with an intent to appropriate a trade secret to his or her own use or to the use of another, does any of the following:

Which codec should we use for HTML5 video? The one that doesn't work in Opera/Firefox or the one that doesn't work in Safari/(future)IE9?
Which one would be the one that doesn't work in Safari? Cause Theora works on my Safari.
HTML5 poses as much threat to Apple as Flash does.
Not really. HTML5 must be parsed by Apple's Safari, giving Apple an easy way to ensure it remains as a second-class citizen on the iLine.
So you are saying that Apple is going to reduce HTML5 support in Safari and thus Webkit? After pushing it for the last years?
I thought it was Marvel Comics' The Flash. Why would you want to end The Flash on the iPhone?
Because the iPad is better for reading comics.
But what "new APIs" are Apple going to release?
Just a guess: http://www.apple.com/iphone/preview-iphone-os/
And the first point is already something that wouldn't make it to Flash for years, if ever: the seven multitasking services Apple will provide.
And even if he didn't, you probably get paid attacking Apple.

You mean the leadership that lost against Germany in WW1?
Gee, maybe it's not me
No, it's you. You turned a comment that wasn't to you into a challenge you had to answer. A contest nobody was looking for.
As opposed to the OP? Yeah, it is you.
What was their alternative?
I don't know, maybe not purging the leadership of your Army? Maybe letting Generals make the decisions instead of political commissars?
So keeping the old guard in place would have won them the war, because obviously attacking with a lot of Cossacks would have been decisive against German tanks?

No, you retard.
You sure convinced me of your noble goals, asshole. The rest of your post goes downhill from there. Yawn.

Windows had a 10+ year head start on Linux.
OTOH, MS-DOS was more open than Macintosh and dominated it in a humiliating fashion.
You had an entire industry versus one company.
But including CP/M, of which it was a mere copy, it had a 10+ year head start.

Do they get detention for eating the "food" from the school cafeteria?
The suez Canal. There is a direct shipping route, and it works quite well thank you.
And it also doesn't cost a dime to use it. No, wait...

Another thing is that we have much a longer warranty period on new goods than the US. Apple has to pay for all the repairs within this period too.
In Germany the warranty period of Apple products is only one year.
And the EU guarantee period is 2 years. And will always trump any warranty. Period.
