And that's what this guy had - a list of files and their locations in the form of hyperlinks. And detailed instructions. And, like Napster, he was trying to make money with it.
Yeah, we made the same joke about it being a 3 million dollar mistake. But they could have also cut to one of those cheesy robotic-looking computer mock-ups of the players and babbled about that for a few seconds. They had lots of filler material, not every 30-second gap in coverage was commercial time. I have no reason not to believe them, basically. It squares with what I saw.
No, because I was watching the fucking game and it cut away suddenly when play was stopped and resumed before play started again. Everyone in the room was yelling at me because it was my TV and everyone assumed it was my fault.
Make sure you mention the fights, fires, and arrests at UMASS. Rubber bullets, tear gas. But it doesn't fit the narrative of bad Philly fans, so we'll keep reporting the same bonfire and bent lightpole over and over and say the city is "burning down".
I mean, I get your point: "Hey, this phone was defective even before I trashed it!"
But at the same time, you trashed it. I don't have an iPhone, and the last Apple product I bought was in 2009. But when my Motorola died after about a year for exactly the same reason (No Network), it didn't even occur to me to seek compensation from Motorola. I just figured I'd dropped it and sat on it too many times.
You don't think a defective screen, where the defect is that the screen cracks, might warrant different treatment than a failed chip on the board? In that case, the cracked screen is a clear sign of abuse.
This is a pro-Apple story, so I'm not sure why them hating on Apple would drive their decision to publish it. More likely, they see a bunch of hits on stories about Apple and being good capitalists, they are encouraged to publish more.
How does warming up your gasoline car "waste a lot of gas", but running a resistance heater does not waste a lot of energy? A typical sedan uses less than 1/5 gallon per hour of fuel to idle. Hit the key fob 5 or 10 minutes before you get in and you've just consumed a whopping $0.10 worth of gasoline. Sure, the Tesla probably uses even less than that of electricity, but you have $60k worth of $0.10 starts to make up the difference. If you save a whole nickel every time, you would need to remote start the car 1.2 million times to recover your investment. If you instead leave the car running the whole time you are in the restaurant for a 2-hour meal, you'll only burn $1.20 worth of gas... and even if the Tesla is saving you all of that, you'd need to eat out 50,000 times to recoup your investment.

No, they didn't host the files. My recollection was correct:
IIRC, Napster was brought down with a similar argument, though I think that was in civil court.
Yes, this is why the Germans called rockets "feuerfan", literally fire fan. Everyone knows a fire fan in space would just be stupid!
Or even that they took routes with more congestion.
They have actually tapped into God's wrath, which we model mathematically as "electrons".
Incidentally, you can really piss off God by rubbing a balloon on your head.
What part do I put the "@" before?

Probably because they need to remove the glass to fix the phone, and they aren't going to put back your damaged glass when they are done.

The summary says "No game or commercial time were missed". Thanks for the contribution.
It was at my house and for about 15 seconds everyone was yelling at me.
I think we're now arguing over the definition of the word "trashed" and the mistreatment of the phone isn't really in question.
Needless to say, a drop can crack the screen, and it can also damage other components.
I hear Samsung makes good phones and won't burn a hole in your pocket.
How is dropping your phone not abuse?
You are free to take your business elsewhere. To another company that fixes 2-year-old phones.

What does a screen cracking have to do with a faulty chip on the logic board?
You don't think a defective screen, where the defect is that the screen cracks, might warrant different treatment than a failed chip on the board? In that case, the cracked screen is a clear sign of abuse.
That's probably still a biting insult in whatever shithole you live in.
I don't know how you use the word "recall", but a free repair for afflicted models certainly counts in my book.

Yeah, it really sucks when a company stands behind their product.
