thousands of crimes remained unsolved because no one can crack into the perpetrators' phones
is exaggerated speculation at best. There may well be thousands of crimes that include locked phones in their set of evidence, but there is no guarantee that data on those locked phones would lead to the crime being solved if it were unlocked. It's also possible that many of those crimes could be / will be solved eventually using other pieces of evidence and investigative avenues.
Taxing them more simply means higher prices for all the customers. That would be us, not them. If they keep prices the same, it means less investment by them in jobs, or higher prices for us, period.

Wrong. There's a third and obvious option, lower profits. Apple's profit margin isn't some fixed value and higher expenses (e.g. increased tax payments) can't arbitrarily be covered by raising prices or cutting expenses elsewhere. If Apple could raise prices as easily as you imply they would have already done so to maximize their profits. If Apple could cut their expenses somewhere (e.g. salaries) in a way that wouldn't affect their profits they would have already done so to maximize their profits.
The numbers a langpop.com may be "real", but they're also old - the page was last updated on October 2013. Swift's failure to show up isn't because it's "so low", it's because Swift wasn't unveiled until June of 2014.
It's $149 per month for multi-mobile, $215 per month for single-desktop, with discounts for various combinations. It's all pretty simple if you just got to their purchase page.
Ad sponsored journalism always had a built in conflict of interest even when they were scrupulous about keeping the business and content separate.
Do you seriously believe that the "new" journalism isn't ad sponsored. What, other than ads, do they have as a source of funding? At least the "old" journalism could get some revenues directly from their readers. The "new" journalism, not so much.
And who among the other Republican contenders who lost to him in the Republican primaries would have done a better job against Obama in a general election?
BT stands for Bacillus Thuringiensis, not botulism toxin. It is a bacteria that kills some species of insects by damaging their guts. It poses no known danger to humans, but its widespread use could adversely affect the balance of insect populations.
So if I want to wipe out your data I just attempt to log in to your account 10 times using a bogus password. Even if your data's backed up, the next time you go to log in might not be a great time to have to do a restore.
Plenty of financial collapses have preceded the current one without the benefit of Black-Scholes. What did they, and the current collapse, all have in common? Excess credit.
How do you know how many times you've been exposed to BSE contaminated meat? How do you know how many times people throughout the world have been exposed over the last 30 years?
And Apple is guilty of nothing IF they secured permission for the footage before hand. (And if they didn't, someone representing someone in that group would have sued them by now.)
You're citing a California Supreme Court decision which, although it was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, is not relevant in this case (see http://www.davelippman.com/LawoftheMall.html.) That decision is also irrelevant here because the artist's actions occurred inside the Apple store, not in the (possibly) public space outside the store.
Do you really believe that Apple's contract for displays with Samsung is week-to-week or even month-to-month? And even if Samsung could and did stop supplying Apple with LCDs, do you really believe they could quickly find enough buyers to purchase those LCDs at the same price in this economy?

You code using a typewriter? Old school FTW!
Citation please.
Or we could simply eat less meat since much of the corn and soybeans grown in the midwest are just fed to animals.

they left out the fact that Sharron was a guy.
Did you miss the word "his" in the first sentence?
That's illegal under the Affordable Care Act which requires that insurers use an adjusted community rating .
AFAIK, morning sun has essentially the same spectrum as evening sun
No it doesn't. The authors address the differences in the spectrum in the third paragraph of the Discussion section of the study.

The *machine* doesn't have to be hardware, or are you saying that Java isn't compiled either?

How can it be payback? The lawsuit is being brought by a private law firm and it was certified as a class-action case by a Reagan appointee.
The last two items on your chart (iPods) are not iOS devices.
iPod Touchs run iOS (how else would they be able to run most of the same apps as the iPhone?)

Only if IT is really important to them.
