It's called a "search incident to arrest". In my layman's understanding, it covers you and everything that is on you or within your reach. The original justification is the need to identify any weapons or contraband that you may have and try to dispose of or use against the arresting officer.
Getting a traffic ticket is getting arrested. You're not free to leave until the officer completes the ticket. When you sign the ticket, you're agreeing to appear in court. If you refuse to sign, they can quite legally take you downtown and put you in city/county lockup to await your trial for speeding (or whatever).
The knowledge of where the key is located is also just in your head, but the court can compel you to reveal that knowledge (and throw you in jail until you comply).
Most people haven't been trained in how to resist cops legally, either. "I'm going to have to search your car" should be met with "I do not give you permission to do so. Am I free to go?", not "okay" or "if you must".
It doesn't make you a genius, but it does make you valuable in certain fields. The cytotechnologists who review Pap smears and kick all the remotely abnormal ones to a pathologist are people with a desire to do a repetitive job requiring attention to detail. Accountants, too.
I'm an Android fan, but Siri goes way beyond the simple voice-to-text-plus-a-few-commands that Android offers. Watch the video, it's pretty cool: "Remind me to call James on Wednesday morning."
You do still look like a total douche doing it, but if you're in the car...
To be fair, the Siri stuff is really, really cool. And it's way beyond what Android offers. The rest is just updating it to meet modern phone standards, true, but something that takes those kind of natural language queries and integrates them into the whole system is amazing. Check out the segment where he's having it read a text to him, does a schedule query, and then replies to the text - all via voice. (If you go to the Apple website and watch the video, that starts around 77:30.)
Then why do people talk about "submarine patents"? I agree that what you describe is how it should work, but I'm not sure that's how it actually happens.
IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that out-of-court settlements don't create precedent at all. They're just engaging in barratry, although that crime has been mostly eliminated from the vocabulary of modern jurisprudence.
Considering that they've made it a huge part of their advertising, I'm guessing that Hesse really means to carry through with it. I don't rate his chances as all that good, but considering that the alternative is to sell the company to Verizon, it's probably not a real waste of money. Verizon isn't going to pay much more than the value of the physical plant + spectrum licenses, and those are worth money even if the company tanks.
The Kindle Touch 3G has both touch and 3G (you just can't use it for web surfing anymore; that's why the browser was always under "experimental"). The Kindle (no Touch, no 3G) doesn't. Wow, big surprise.
Amazon also hasn't been hacker-friendly because lots of Kindles - and all the early ones - included free cellular data access that Amazon had to pay for.
Dunno, how large is your service area for that price, and how good is the network? American cell phone plans have gotten to be more expensive than their European counterparts, but they also provide coast to coast service without roaming.
Native English speakers also use the same grammatical structure you do, which means that it's easier to fill in the gaps if you miss a word here or there.
It's not xenophobic to insist that teachers have clearly comprehensible accents. Accent policing might be misused to discriminate against people in an undesirable way, but that has no bearing on the desirability of standardized accents for teachers.
The NFL is not a likely target for a disparate-impact lawsuit.
As for interviews, they're nice - but you can't interview every applicant for a job. You need a way to weed people out, and a college degree is one of those ways. It's not perfect, but it does show that the applicant has a modicum of intelligence and can set themselves to a task and finish it.

I've got an original Moto Droid. Most can be OC'd to double the original clock speed. And, actually, your grandmother could do it.

nor do they have the authority to be the sole arbiter of what the Constitution means
In theory, maybe. In practice, we've gone along with Mr. Justice Marshall's power grab for over 200 years, so it's perhaps a bit late.
A court can compel you to provide the code. You can just be taken downtown and held until the court order can be obtained.
I don't know whether the courts actually would go along with this as a search incident to arrest, though.
Fifth Amendment protections sometimes extend to your stuff, but in a lot of cases they don't.
Your Asperger's apparently does not extend to grammar or punctuation.

Network capacity; i.e., can it handle the iPhone? As referenced in parent post.

Sprint already has very low rates and no caps. Service and capacity, I don't know. But the other two, they have.

No, it would be a rigidly conformist hellhole.

Thanks for the info.
