  1. Re:uhh.. sounds very much 'intentional' to me.. on Facebook 'Unintentionally Uploaded' Email Contacts From 1.5M Users (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah I didn't catch that until on my local papers website I read, "Facebook said that they didn't read users e-mails" and it suddenly occurred to me that they couldn't do that unless they harvested the passwords as well.

    I have ZERO faith that they didn't harvest e-mails either to be honest.

    You mean Rick Deckard, right?

    Well, until the Yellowstone caldera blows then everyone East of Yellowstone is toast.

    Have you purchased US-based IT equipment in AU lately? Should kind of make you wonder who's getting screwed, eh? : P

  5. Re:Sure, that will solve the problem on Apple Tells App Developers To Disclose Or Remove Screen Recording Code (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Hyperbole much?

    It's not hidden. It's very easy to find since in the "Information" box (2 of 3 for each app) it's the only blue link and the only entry with an icon. (A blue hand which is the same icon used in iOS for "Privacy" as you can see in the Settings app.)

  6. Non-News? on New Site Exposes How Apple Censors Apps in China (theintercept.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    This seems to be the price any company pays for doing business in China. How is this news?

  7. Re:If this hurts Apple's bottom line, it should. on Tim Cook to Investors: People Bought Fewer New iPhones Because They Repaired Their Old Ones (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Yeah, isn’t the phrase, “The quickest way to stifle innovation in a company is to put an MBA in charge”? We’re definitely seeing that within Apple!

  8. Which is why it's super important for actors to copyright their "likeness" and closely guard that IP!

  9. Re:but these are border guards on Woman Sues US Border Agents Over Seized iPhone (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    That would seem to be incorrect: Border Search Exception.

  10. Ah...remember the good ol’ days of, “Do No Evil”?

    Yeah, me either.

  11. Re:DNC Rigs elections, not Russia on Senate Rejects New Money For Election Security (apnews.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hi Coward, it's me a concerned DNC supporter!

    I've been quite concerned that they apparently robbed Bernie of his chance at the 2016 election. I've been quite vocal about it in fact...

    Glad we could clear that up. So you can stop calling BS and start actually replying to forum comments in a constructive and hopefully insightful manner.

    Good Day Coward!

    W O W ! Thanks for sharing that. Just finished Chapter 1 at lunch and his dad was right...

  13. This isn’t going to end well... on Autonomous Robots Could be the Future of High Flying Stunts in Hollywood (cnet.com) · · Score: 1
    Just imagine impressionable kids watching these “real life superheros” doing all these amazing stunts right before their very eyes! Then they go home and emulate what they just saw someone else doing.

    I foresee a whole lot of kids earning “Disney Darwin Awards”....

  14. And the Dr. Evil Jr. award for Friday goes to... Okian Warrior! Well played... well played....

  15. Apple in a perfect example of this! (I'm a fan, so moderate your opinion accordingly...)

    Tim Cook knows how to run a business, but since he's taken over the company their products aren't revolutionary, but evolutionary. They're often released before they're ready and riddled with bugs / issues. Apple is so focused on making a buck with iPhone they leave profit on the table. (The Mac mini hasn't been updated in over two years. The Mac Pro just got dusted by the iMac Pro, which is absurd.)

    Steve Jobs was for all intents and purposes a smelly bastard to work for, but he drove people to innovate like mad! He really did strive to change the world and didn't much give a fuck about the competitors.

  16. Given the environment of this admission I can't be the only one who doubts this.
