To answer your question, it is the quickest legal tool to get it to stop. Using copyright, gets it shutdown faster then having to prove who is harmed or mislead by the data collection. It's just a legal tool.
Umm, you need read and understand the facts before you post.
The issue is not that Senator Reid's campaign merely reposted parts of her website. Or that she was running away from positions she has taken in the past.
It was that the Reid campaign created a website to look like hers and used that site to get names, emails and other information from people who believed it was her site.
You aren't more financially agile then him if he has more cash on hand because while you were paying interest he was getting paid interest. Or if you are holding debt currently and he isn't. I decided two years ago to change my thinking to get out of the rat race. I had an awesome house ($3200/Mon mortgage) and newest Accord ($500/month payment), student loans. I sold house, paid off car, paid off student loans. I rent a condo down the street for less then property taxes. Now each month a save $2000. My wife no longer has to work. I am less stressed. Life is so much easier. Paying off car, loans wasn't fun, but it was worth it. Now I live within my means and as I do my future means rises. Americans don't need to deficit spend to get out of recession, we need to save and buy what we afford to avoid repeating problems that caused meltdown. How could banks lend to people who were unable to pay if those people never signed thee loan?
That Apple gets out of the computer business completely and focuses on iDevices, than it is that iOS and OS X will merge.
That said I cannot wait for iTiger, they could run commercials "it's the i... Tiger, its the thrill of the web, downloading apps, music and email content. It's magical devices..."
You know I don't need a security exploit to cause iPhone/iPad users trouble by pushing them over their data plan.
All we need to do is send them e-mails with attachments and it just so happens that I have a long list of iPad users I purchased from my Russian friends.
Hey that gives me a great idea. I invest in AT&T stock, take advantage of their pricing scheme by flooding AT&T users with more bits then they can afford, sell the stock after the quarterly profits shoot through the roof. Wow, making money like a Chicago gangster is fun.
For bonus points I could short Apple stock, and use a virus that infects iDevices (They have taken more than a year to patch some security holes, so I just need to keep an eye out for one that works for me, that way I could push people over on the send and recieve sides as my virus propogates and depreciates Apples inflated share price.
Yeh, people said the same thing about Apple and the 2 button mouse and look how that turned out. "Oh, once Steve sees the value of it he will follow suit add a second button to Apple mice." Look how that turned out.
Umm, for starters there are going to be 2GHz Android modible phones by the end of this year. Android phone makers can select from a variety of different processors. If Apple cannot innovate faster than the whole of them. Companies like Samsung and Intel will school them.
Just look at the smart phone market, look at how much faster Android is innovating, look at how in the last 1.5 years Android came from behind to being the leader. Apple is chasing Android innovations or ignoring what customers want (like Flash), where Android is meeting those needs. Android is freedom, you can pick manufacturers, you can pick carriers, etc. iOS is closed, you can't pick anything. Same thing happened with Macs versus PCs. Steve Jobs is going to repeat the same mistake, and it all stems from the fact that he is a control freak who wants to control everything.
My personal opinion is that Apple has no intention of making a great mobile line of chips, that isn't their goal. They want two things, 1). They want to keep the money training flowing, not just with initial hardware sales, but with App sales, carrier kickbacks and iAd sales, so they need to ensure people don't buy iPhones and run Android on them and 2). They want to use it as a marketing tool for as long as they can.
Especially for the billion plus people around the world who live more than a few hours walk or drive from the nearest doctor
This is brilliant logic, because all of the peole I know who live more then a few hours from the nearest doctor are all about 3.5 hours from decent 3G coverage (more if they have AT&T).
People are retarded, what's next we plan on giving kids who are primarily worried about starving or being shot at by the rival drug gang in Africa a laptop?
Interesting, not only do you explain the problems with government in terms of NASA, but you've also outlined why government run healthcare will never save us money; why the majority of people hate it and the majority of politicians love it.
The US is no longer a super power. We're no longer a nation of thinkers and doers, instead we've made ourselves into an entitlement society. We tax those that work and innovate and we subsidize those that do not work and only consume. We're doomed if entitlements aren't eliminated, they are the tools of enslaving individuals disguised as progressive freedom.
I find it interesting that people are debating whether or not Verizon will follow AT&T or if people will be better or worse off with the new plans. Here is the thing everybody seems to miss. Earlier iPhone users, who are currently eligible for an upgrade, just got screwed, because while they were likely planning to upgrade via a subsidized price to the up and coming iPhone, they will be forced to take the new data plans. The only way for them to keep their unlimited plan is to either buy the iPhone at full price or go and get an smart phone elsewhere. I think this is the perfect time for earlier iPhone users to seriously consider Android devices like the EVO (Sprint), Droid Incredible (Verizon) or MyTouch Slide / Nexus One (T-Mobile). Here are my latest speed results (Nexus One on T-Mobile).
My co-worker just picked up the EVO and got 4.5 Mbps down and 1.5 Mbps up in our office today. Think about that, he was getting better then T1 performance on a mobile phone.
I ssh to my Linux machine and VNC to my Windows desktop from my Android phone every day (using 3G on phone) to my home network which is connected to Internet via 4G (Clear, which is partnership with Sprint).
The reason AT&T is setting data limits is because they spend money on providing kickbacks to Apple for iPhone rights and buying TV commercials to make themselves look like they have a better network than they do. They failed to invest in their network and they are paying for it, or rather the person with the 200MB plan that uses 201MB and pays $30 just like when he/she had unlimited plan is paying for it. They are trying to increase profits by putting their customers in tiny (high margin/profit) boxes. The plans are priced to reduce usage and increase profits (even if revenue falls). Instead of rushing to build a better network, they can take their time, because they setup pricing data plans to motivate users to take or the worrying about data usage (or pay out the nose for going over the set limit). It's BS. If they AT$T network drops your connection when you have loaded half of a file or web page, it still counts against you, even if it is unusable, do you pay for packed headers or do they? Do you pay for each TCP package they needs to be recent because the network drops your packets? It's BS. I thin the future is going to more likely be a fixed price plan for all data, voice and text. Sprint is already testing those waters.
AT&T needs to die, because it is just a crappy company, most people who use it have not idea how much better the other carriers are or are tied to AT&T because of the iPhone, no because they like AT&T. AT&T crashes more devices/calls/connections then Flash does, but since they pay Jobs money he looks the other way.
Bell Labs isn't part of AT&T (or is it at&t?), whatever.
With things like MOSFET, C, TTL, UNIX, C++, CDMA, etc. it's like Bell Labs made the greatest stuff to come out of New Jersey from the invention of the light bulb up until Bon Jovi.
My company BB has an encrypted drive, the PIN not only locks the phone, but prevents it's contents from being mounted over USb or bluetooth and shared unless entered and unlocked.

Elected officials regularly get "fired" and have to be rehired, often every two, four, or six years.
Not bureaucrats. Not government union employees.
Why does the post office totally suck compared to either FedEx, UPS, or others when it comes to deliver times, quality of package handling, number of lost, open or damaged items, ability for customers to track packages, customer services, cleanliness of facilities, etc? Because the workers there don't care, they feel entitled and see working for customers as inconvenience. On every level the USPS is last, except one, pension payments and benefits paid to retirees.
Government sucks, so why people want more of a crappy monopoly I don't understand. Government creates nothing, for anything it "provides to one group, it must have taken or borrowed it form another group".
Government is a parasite on the people. We should always be working to having the minimum government required and majority of the power should reside as close the the people so that it will be better managed by feedback. States should be stronger in our Republic and the Federal government should be confined back to only the 17 powers it was authorized to do in the Constitution, that would provide a better quality of service to the people.
T-Moble: $21.25 is what I pay a month for data, it is the T-Mobile Android monthly plan $24.99 unlimited data (have wifi tether that works any wifi device (even your Ipad, works in parks and car which don't have hot spots)
Using Speed Test app for Android, here are the numbers it reports from when I have run it on cell network not wifi (all times are Central).
Also your numbers don't prove or disprove anything, the Apple II was a huge hit, but in the end Apple lost. Just like with the PC wars, where you had Microsoft selling software to various hardware vendors and developers having more access and openness to Microsoft APIs then they did from Apple (who had the head start), the same will be true this time around with Google giving away software to hardware vendors and developers and Apple being just as closed as ever.
Also look at the app store, even though Apple claims to have more apps, it actually has less types of apps, you cannot have tethering apps or Flash apps or porn or background services, etc. See you have lots of similar apps but that doesn't mean you have more kinds of apps. If you want to write an app for your iPhone, you need to have an Intel based Mac. What is a big barrier to entry. When you can program on any OS for Android. You have to let Apple have access to your source code and they can deny apps for a slew of reasons, there is no such barrier with Android.
Apple is a fascist company run by a thug.
Course for the record I may be wrong and you could be right. There are a slew of idiots out there, it basically comes down to how many people want to pretend they are cool/hip and get an iPhone versus how many people out there want a phone they gives them freedom and choice like with Android.
For example he won't use Flash, because it is inferior and crashes OS X (Before it was Flash, he blamed IE).
Stay with me Apple diehards, yet he uses AT&T's network (which gives him kickbacks using money from your monthly data plan that would be better spent on upgrading their network). AT&T is inferior and drops calls.
Interesting how he his arguement for avoiding inferior technology isn't absolute like he pretends, but I live outside his reality distortion field unlike so many Apple fanboys.
Jobs is going to loose the smart phone wars just like he lost the PC wars. My phone has a better resolution, a better network, tethering app, cheaper data plan, better data service, supports Flash, can run multiple apps at the same time, works with Windows, Apple and Linux, backs up my data online, lets me put apps and icons on my home screen how I want, etc. etc. If Jobs wants to be a contender he will need to do the one thing he hates most... give up control to users and outside developers. If he doesn't get on other cell providers this year, it is game, set, match.
Otherwise, if he keeps going the way he is, he will be left owning 2-6% of the smart phone market with his 2-6% being users obsessed with devices they believe to shiny beautiful and magical.
No you won't. People don't solve complex problems never before attempted or tried just because. They solve complex problems and do things never attempted before in pursuit of a goal. These are effectively research grants, the way you keep the money flowing is say "we're working on it, but for that key next step we will need more funding for next year."
Also there is a reason we should put people in SPACE, the reason is because we are a group of explorers and doers. Once we remove the challenging parts, we'll be neither.
I'll let you in on something all you Obama cocksuckers don't understand. This nation is declining, it is not going to be a great nation where people who work hard wish to come. It will fail to lead the world in things like Space or Medicine (both of which our Congress and President have trashed).
We're replacing the explorers and visionaries who discovered and defined the world with egotistical intellectuals, who mistakenly think they understand the real world. The best way to expand and increase the cost effectiveness of NASA is convert it to a goal driven agency. Don't pay to research or study something. Instead setup prizes like the X-Prize or Google's Android challenges to motivate everyday Americans, small business startups, Universities, etc. to solve challenges. Send a rocket to the moon get X million. Put a Satellite in orbit of the moon get Y million, send a crew to circle the moon get Z million, etc. Then we the tax payers only pay for success and we only pay the winning scientists (or garage engineers). But with this current NASA funding joke, we will get the bill with no results.
