Except that even copyright law is being treated differently in different countries.
In Germany for instance, a few court rulings set the precedent that in order for German developers to maintain their rights under copyright, they must actively defend those rights (so not surprisingly, German open source developers are doing just now right now and they're currently contacting/suing everybody who are using their code but not complying with their license).
And in places like Tawain, Chinese manufacturers are not even paying lip service to open source (even if providing the sources to their modifications wouldn't be difficult at all). So they're not getting sued at all, unless they have offices in the US, because it's far easier to sue in the US than it is in Tawain.
...and the suicide rate is less than that of the general population
And yet you're conveniently omitting the other part that was written in the same sentence and that the rate of suicide for young people is actually much lower than the suicide rate of the general population in general (because it's usually the 60 to 70 year olds that kill themselves, not the 18 to 25 year olds).
I don't get the exclusive association between Apple and Foxconn presented by the tech press. Foxconn is the world's largest electronics manufacturer and makes products for Dell, Sony, Motorola, Nintendo, Nokia, Microsoft, HP, and pretty much every other major computer-related company.
May be it's because of incidents like these: "Fell from apartment building[21][23] after losing an iPhone prototype in his possession.[24] Prior to death, he was beaten and his residence searched by Foxconn employees.[24]" Somehow, I doubt they would have dolled out the same punishment if it had been a Windows Phone prototype that had disappeared. Hell, I doubt that a Windows Phone prototype would have even disappeared in the first place (or if it had disappeared, someone would have returned it as soon as they saw it had the Windows logo on it).
In fact, the flyer recommends that anyone 'overly concerned about privacy' or attempting to 'shield the screen from view of others' should be considered suspicious and potentially engaged in terrorist activities.
It's funny. Anyone who's looking over my shoulder to try to view my screen, or trying to shoulder-surf, I usually consider an identity thief, or a potential terrorist (or a potential assassin) and I'll call the manager on them (or if they're the manager, I'll call the police on them).
If I'm using an encrypted VPN, it's usually because I'm banking online, or I'm doing email, or my work requires me to, or I'm watching porn, in any which case, I really don't want to be disturbed/questioned. And if I know about those types of privacy tools, you can bet your job I probably also know really well about kicking up a fuss with the internet cafe owner, or filling out a report/complaint with the police department/Internal Affairs/Yelp/Google Places/City Hall/etc, because you just know that's the type of person I am at least (even if I'm most likely not a terrorist).
So speaking as a paranoid person, you better leave us alone, and just stick to harassing the non-paranoid people. The non-paranoid people will probably answer your questions, but I won't. And the non-paranoid people will forget the incident ever happened, but I won't. I'll be a bureaucratic thorn in your side for the next couple of years, even if you just question me for less than 10 seconds, or just start looking over my shoulder. That's the price you'll have to pay for questioning paranoid suspicious-looking OCD people such as myself. That's just the type of people that we are. And it's just not worth it, for little to no apparent gain.
Is Google Maps really a loss leader in France? In the US, if you're a web site with _high_ traffic, using Google Maps is actually quite expensive (more expensive than most of its competitors). The way they get you is by making their api key so easy to get and free to use for developers with little to no traffic at all.
How is content hosted in china but streamed via US servers? That statement doesn't make much sense.
It doesn't make much sense to me either, especially when the original article clearly says "hosted within China and the United States"
Speck told iTnews he offered the opportunity for Apple Australia to also pursue the retailer to protect its trademarks, but to his disappointment the company declined.
Yes, it sounds more like Apple probably didn't want to hire him. Whether Apple Australia pursues this case, or not, it's not any of his business anyway. The last thing Apple needs is to hire (or even endorse) a self-designated "copyright specialist" (whatever the hell that title means). The last thing any Corporation needs is an unknown self-designated over-eager PI. Private Investigators break laws. Private Investigators break into voice mail accounts. And sometimes Private Investigators (or self-designated vigilantes) try to commit even more serious crimes in order to impress a new potential employer.
When I worked for a huge corporation, anytime something happened to our company, we had every unemployed quack pot coming out of the woodwork offering to "help" us out in some way. And of course, we rejected all those offers and offered no information whatsoever about what our next step was going to be.
As it is, iOS and App Store cover those needs. So I bought an iPhone.
Apple doesn't get the source, it only gets the binary. Besides, Apple itself admits that it doesn't inspect the code for Malware (it only inspects the application for proper UI behavior). It doesn't want to open itself up to the liability of having approved an app on the criteria of security when an app could still be Malware.
The only reason iOS will have less Malware than Android is because the Apple app store has a higher barrier to entry. That's really the only reason. Malware writers need developer accounts to distribute their Malware, and they'll need many of those accounts once those accounts start getting shut down. That is really the only reason the Apple app Store is comparatively safer to Android.
Just stop misleading yourself. Having a false sense of security because of the Apple app store can make you more of an easy mark for a malicious app.
Ah, yes. That's why more people die in car accidents in the USA than in Europe. (measured in road fatalities per vehicle-km as well as in deaths for road traffic accidents per 100,000 inhabitants).
I doubt this has to do much with the roads in the US.
I don't have the stats to back it up, but I believe most fatalities in the US come from drunk drivers and/or new teenage drivers.
Face it and deal with it : americans are the worst car drivers of the western world. (well, except perhaps the french who are lunatics)
I'm not going to argue this label (especially on Saturday nights and Holidays), but the rest of the time, I feel a hundred times safer driving in the US than in the UK, France, or Italy (and btw, between France and Italy, I'd say the Italians are far more lunatic in their driving).
But, there are small stores in europe like 7-11 open 24h (for example in Sweden). However, why should a large supermarket be open 24/7? Makes no sense.
Yes, this does differ between European countries. And yes, it doesn't make much sense to me as well to keep a supermarket open 24/7. It's just that sometimes, stores and banks in some European countries seem to close at the busiest of times and to be open when nobody is around. And I have nothing against people putting no more than 35 hours of work week, or 40 hours, but sometimes it might make way more sense to alter their hours (coupled with an increase in their hourly rate) to fit more closely people's schedules.
Their healthcare, their food, their government, their women, their cars, their tv, their bathrooms, their internet.
The bathrooms in the UK suck, their just-in-time water heaters especially. The European roads are small and dangerous (even the German Autobahn are not much more than glorified 2-lane poorly lit highways). Their gas is super expensive. Their TV/Internet is either good or bad depending on where you are in Europe. And finally, their convenience stores, supermarkets, banks, etc., usually have such limited schedules, most Americans have no idea how good they have it in the US.
Europeans live on an infrastructure that supports pedestrian life. So, there's more likelihood for walking past magazine stands and making those impulse buys.
I don't about the rest of Europe, but in France, the small publishers are partially subsidized by the government, so for them it's not just a question of having more sales than in the US.
I just did, and yes the Symantec article is accurate, even though it overstates the threat. It runs at phone boot, and has permissions to monitor your calls to see who you're calling and read/change your browser bookmarks and history. There are reports that it changes your book marks to point to click-through sites. The portion of the app that does this is not part of the game, but something else added to it for the purpose of spying on the user and redirecting their browser (eg Alexa). This capability is not disclosed to the user, other than showing the permissions required.
Which app did you look at? Like I said, they all have different permissions listed.
Yes, I did. Did you bother looking at the apps themselves on the Market after that?
The problem is that each of those app contain only a fraction of the permissions mentioned in the symantec description. And perhaps cumulatively, they may contain all the permissions mentioned, but still that's a very different picture from the one that Symantec is trying to paint.
stealing the imei and imsi (sufficient info to clone your sim card)
"stealing"? What a loaded word? It's not theft if you gave the application the permission to read the phone identity. Plus, it's a unique number that uniquely identifies your phone. It's not meant to be the secure element. It's meant to be the public one.
Walled garden is the way to go. Android users very satisfied: 47% iPhone users very satisfied: 75%
Nokia and RIM had walled garden. What's the stats with those?
Besides, even if Google copied the Apple App Store tomorrow, it would still have Android on a wide variety of devices, both low end devices and high end devices, so that rating would still be unlikely to change. The same goes for the iPhone. If Apple were to suddenly target the low end of the Market, I doubt any of the customers with the lower end devices vs. the high end would be as satisfied.
No, it's flagging it as "Malware" because it wants to you do the following as their solution for removing the so-called "Malware". Note how they conveniently left the simplest instructions for uninstalling the application all the way at the bottom of the page (where almost no one will see it).
No, I meant the home screen, not the home page. On Android, you have a home screen, which an app can add its shortcut to (assuming it's not full, if it's full, it's out of luck, and the shortcut doesn't get made). And yes, there are plenty of people who don't want ads and who don't want to be tracked.
On the Android Market, those people will usually have to pay to buy a version without the ads (and/or install a custom rom with the ads sdks disabled). There are still free apps with no tracking and no advertisements, but don't be surprised if you can't get the latest Angry Birds without ads -- if you're unwilling to pay for it either.
You've all been fooled. Before you forward the Symantec scareware to all your friends, please study what the symantec announcement says a little more closely.
I've taken a look at the 'Balloon Game' by Ogre Games for instance. It's not malware. It's not doing anything that it hasn't requested in the permissions already. And even if it can update itself (as Symantec claims it can do), if you read Symantec owns report, Symantec doesn't think it can do anything (outside of the permissions it has already been granted).
The only malware here is Norton Symantec, with their fake claims about it being malware and with their super long suggested solution of removing the problem (when the last paragraph at the end of their page titled "manual removal" would remove the program far more quickly).
You may have arrived at this page either because you have been alerted by your Symantec product about this risk, or you are concerned that your device has been affected by this risk.

Although I seriously doubt Symantec's 5 million number is right, the fact that malware keep showing up on the market is disturbing.
To be fair, this does not look like Malware at all.
For instance, I'm looking at the game called 'Balloon Game' by Ogre Games, which they say is malware. By downloading the application, you're agreeing to the fact that it can read your phone state and phone identity, you're agreeing that it can use the internet, and you're agreeing that it can install shortcuts on your home screen.
The application wants to know my unique IMEI number? or my Mac address? Whoop di doo. I really don't care about that. And yes, it has access to the internet, so it can serve me ads, send info about me, and possibly (according to Symantec) update its own code in real time.
But even if it can update its own code in real time, it can't change its permissions in real-time (it doesn't have the permissions for that), so it's still sandboxed in the permissions I gave it originally. So what's the problem here? What other "sensitive" information is it leaking out? Does this application go against anything in the Google's Market Terms of Services in any way? No, it doesn't. Only Apple has inane Terms of Services about not being able to load code dynamically from the internet.
An autonomous system means that everyone will be going the speed limit
Not me, I'll have that feature disabled/modded, unless I loan my car to my kids or my brother-in-law. For my brother-in-law, I think I'll force him to go 14 MPH in a 25 MPH zone, and 44 MPH in a 55 MPH zone, this way if he gets any ticket -- it's because he's going way too slow.
No, not the Canadian one. In this case, "Rogers Communications, Inc" is Chip Rogers own company: which used to consist of a former radio station and some real estate holdings.
According to his political opponent Thompson (the one who keeps on losing to him), Chip Rogers is not being open about what his company consists of. If anyone has access to Lexis Nexis, may be some of you can find out more.
If you're on the fence on this particular issue, do note that the Senator is also strongly against Net Neutrality.

I welcome the day when burglars do not even break into my place and only make bad copies of my stuff.

I registered on their bug tracker but cannot decipher to whom or how I should report this grammar error as a documentation flaw -- any suggestions?
Target their next Release Candidate.
This is no small change since their web site is imaged and hosted on a Beowulf cluster of first generations nano iPods.
That might work for him because his brain has the capacity to recall all the stuffs _after_ the class is over. Not me.
May be, that capacity came with practice.
In any case, let's hope the reporter didn't take Bjork's advice when he interviewed him.
Such a memory gain probably wouldn't happen overnight (but may be, it could happen over a long period of practice).
How many servers? How much bandwidth?
The iCloud is built on top of Azure's CDN and Amazon's S3 storage service.
The fact is until you get hard numbers you can't take it for granted exactly how much you need.
That's the entire point of using two cloud services with more capacity than your own, along with an elastic pricing model.
