Yes, because clearly when you have a user replaceable battery, there is not more shielding and you pull the bare cells out because they didn't put the battery into any kind of casing itself to prevent accidental damage. And also, all non-replaceable batteries have latches holding the battery in place for some reason, even though it's not meant to be removed and couldn't be without taking the phone apart. Oh, and big fat easy to decouple connectors meant for not removing.
Well, the thought goes something along the lines of "if the battery was user detachable, then they would only need to recall the battery instead of the whole phone."
It's still bunk, because you still can't use the phone without the battery, and using the battery before getting the replacement means risking a chemical fire. And, if the problem is in the charging circuit, then you're still recalling the whole phone.
But don't let that get in the way of mindless scapegoating.
Your 200m water-resistant divers watch doesn't contain a 2500+ mAh lithium-ion battery that has lots of safety regulation around it, concerning shielding, casing, latches, connectors, etc. that are required with a removable battery.
If someone changes the names of the characters in Harry Potter and then tries to publish, he'll get laughed out of the publisher's office because it's still plagiarism.
Copyright affords plenty of protections, but would still allow competition where patents stifle competition.
Well, the picture of the burnt phone is on the kind of carpet and what looks to be the attachment point for a seat on a plane.
The picture of the box appears to be on a painted wood surface, perhaps the black-brown veneer that Ikea puts on desks. The box was probably nowhere near the plane, but provided to the journalist so he could compare serial numbers to see if this was indeed a "replacement" or "original" Note 7.
Yeah, I'm sure he went and purposefully lost almost a billion dollars just so he could not pay Federal income tax.
It's far more likely that he lost almost a billion dollars, and his tax lawyers and accountants said "the silver lining is that we can use this loss to offset your tax liability for many years into the future under the current laws..."
But that's ok, keep believing that a stupidly rich person can actually file paperwork with 4 different taxing agencies showing this for almost 20 years and not get caught.
His lawyers are (correctly) advising him against it, as it would allow millions of eyeballs to pour over it and help the IRS out once any potential issues are printed in big bold print on the front page of the New York Times.
There was a lawsuit in the 1970s about discriminatory housing practices which was settled, with the standard clause of not admitting wrongdoing. But we all know that if there wasn't anything there, they would not have settled and paid the government shit.
Please point to the word "willful" in the text of the law. Here, I'll quote it for you:
18 USC 793 (f):
Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer— Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.
I'll give you a hint - you can't be 'willfully negligent' because it's not negligence if you do it on purpose.
From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification.
He might be charismatic, but he's definitely not likeable. Anyone who does the shit he has should not be liked in any way. He's a piece of shit who is literally profiting on people's misery and misfortune.
In my opinion, a simple person would be someone that spends $300+ on a stereo for a vehicle that is worth $1500. Especially when it only gets driven a few times a month.
Ahh, the old "they did it too, so it's ok when my tribe does it" justification.
Never mind the distinction between private emails (your phrase) and emails improperly containing TOP SECRET FUCKING INFORMATION.
For the record, I'm good with prosecuting the whole lot, and letting them have some Republican versus Democrat tennis matches at a minimum security federal prison for the next 10 to 15 years.

I guess I'm surprised that nobody has started using carbon fiber yet.

And somehow hack the firmware through an undisclosed vulnerability so it shows the green battery icon, denoting that it is a post-recall phone?
Yeah, 'easy scam' alright.
Yeah, because all those Sony laptop batteries that we saw blowing 3 foot flames out of notebook computers weren't all removable.
No wait, they were. As it turns out, badly designed energy-dense electronics can still be badly designed.

Copyright is also much more stringent than patents. Software *should* be under copyright, and absolutely not patentable.
Worst? Have you never heard of:
Microsoft
Oracle
Cisco
IBM
?? Apple wishes they could achieve the level of lock-in that Oracle has achieved over their customers...

Probably because a plane featuring air with a not-insignificant amount of smoke from a chemical fire isn't a very good idea for your passengers.
And I'm sure there's some FAA regulation about littering on the runway from an open hatch on a fucking 737.
My bluetooth headphones have a battery life of 30+ hours.
I've never put them to the limit though, because bluetooth audio is shit, and they can be optionally wired.

False.
The IRS says he can release whatever he wants.
His lawyers are (correctly) advising him against it, as it would allow millions of eyeballs to pour over it and help the IRS out once any potential issues are printed in big bold print on the front page of the New York Times.
Ahh, the "but but but BUSH!" defense.
You know what? Indict his lackeys too then. Send them all to Federal prison. They can play tennis together behind very tall fences.
The whole "he did it too!" defense didn't work in kindergarten, why would you think it works in presidential politics?

One hundred and ten is far more than "none"
She had a duty to not remove confidential information from secure systems in the first place, as per 18 USC 793 (f)
Stop being an apologist. The law was broken. Many times.
He might be charismatic, but he's definitely not likeable. Anyone who does the shit he has should not be liked in any way. He's a piece of shit who is literally profiting on people's misery and misfortune.
Yeah, because this is the first car to ever go the wrong way on a one-way street in the history of the automobile.
You know what story you'll never see on this site, or any other news site? "Distracted driver goes wrong way on one-way street"
or "Dog bites man"
Please update your stereotype. All the drivers that earned the BMW badge the reputation of being complete cocks now drive Audi.
