What cover-up exactly? I can find dozens of older articles about "burning" iPods on Google (before some dumb-ass chimes in, not "cases" but "articles") - Heck, even the "journalists" managed to do that:
Jumping online, KIRO 7 Consumer Investigators found plenty of complaints about iPods overheating. Bloggers post photos of their charred and melted iPods. And in Japan, the government even issued a warning to consumers citing "a number of accidents in which iPod Nanos" overheated and sparked, injuring two people.
How many iPhone app reviewers are there? How long does it take to fully test an application so you don't get sued for allowing something that:
1) Bricks the phone
2) Has child porn shoved inside it
3) Is free, barely does what the description says it will do, and yet you need to waste your time deciding if it's just not broken enough to put up there
If there are one hundred app reviewers, there are too few.
How about simply being a Trojan? Apple just let through one. Well, no, actually, that was the Symbian guys.
he Symbian Foundation plans to revise its procedures for testing and signing software after digitally signing a trojan for its Symbian mobile phone operating system by mistake.
Will this kill Symbian, or don't they have to fear there will be many people trying to sign software for it?
Russians really are special, they can often be a rather ultranationalist bunch that feel victimized whenever they don't get to bully others like they would like to.
Americans != Russians - but certainly not for that description.
"If you care about security, don't use a jailbroken iPhone," said security researcher Charlie Miller, speaking at the SyScan security conference in Singapore on Thursday.
The process removes around 80 percent of the security protections built into the phone's software, making it more vulnerable, Miller said.
Not only could you get at Project Gutenberg long before the "Eucalyptus" app was rejected, it has been accepted less than a week later. Just like many of the "ooh, Apple banned an app" apps BTW. One could get the impression that some app writers try everything to get their app banned on first try just for the free promotion.
By signing a contract, this professor agreed to all its terms an conditions, and was bound by them. After that, there really was little or no valid reason for violating it.
At that time neither the thrust reversers nor the spoilers of an Airbus A 320 â" in contrast to a Boeing 737 for instance Ã" could be manually activated.
Too bad that the reverse thruster of a 737 could in fact be activated without pilot intervention in mid-flight 2 years earlier. Much safer design that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauda_Air_Flight_004

Apple sold non-DRMed music long before Amazon did.
Gee, posting such an obvious Kharmawhore as an AC - hey, if the mods want to waste their points...
Prove it, FAILboy.

Top Secret Apple Document: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2099
I did find this article http://www.gadget.com/gadget-news/apple-admits-to-burning-nanos that says Apple has known about this since last year. If that's the case, why did they act like it never happened before.
By "they", do you mean Apple or KIRO-TV? Because Apple never tried to keep that a secret, even if KIRO tries to give the impression they did.
Simple question: How does this relate to the discussion at hand about iPods?
It's really about the fact that Apple has been trying to hide the fact from the public.
Cough.

by a local CBS affiliate in Seattle?
Huh, interesting... makes you wonder if playing Russian roulette counts as suicide...
No, it counts as "Accident while cleaning the gun".

And this is why we can't have nice things.
And why "nice" doesn't allow the users negative values.
Well in London they have Cameras everywhere and they actually look at them, however the crime rate has not gone down. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7384843.stm
No, they don't actually look at them:
... officers who often avoided trawling through CCTV images "because it's hard work"
That was Janet, you disrespectful dumbfucks.
You mean they actually were two different people???
No, La Toya was Michael, Janet was NippleGate.

Gee, thanks god there never was a "Curse of Silence" for Symbian. Not to mention From 0 to 0day on Symbian.

Maybe, just maybe, this case doesn't show that Roth is a traitor, but that the military is full of idiots who don't take their jobs serious.
That's probably true. But now maybe, just maybe, some of those idiots will take their jobs more serious(ly.)
Well, since Roth goes to jail, and they maybe, just maybe even get promoted for "catching" him ...

In 2006, he took a laptop containing sensitive plans with him on a lecture tour in China.
He also allowed graduate students Xin Dai of China and Sirous Nourgostar of Iran to work on the project.
Where did you get the idea those students were in China at the time or now? Chances are, they are in Gitmo now.
China does not threaten to bomb israel or destabilize iraq.
But unlike Iran it actually has the means.
As long as the people on the terrorist watch list are only kept from flying, but not from buying guns and explosives, the US is still free.
