So, they thought that exclusivity would drive demand. They failed, so now offer an overpriced product to the great unwashed because they're not able to sell what they can build.
Google is a net newbie, and although they think and act (incorrectly) like they know what they're doing, they want to be a (bad) nanny to everyone. What ever happened to "don't be evil?"
If they're calling you, they don't have any reason to ask you to provide any confidential info to verify you are who they called. If they ask, get a name and extension, and call them back via a published number.
"an employer can fire you for any reason they want."
That's only true of "at will" employees. There are lots of employees with contracts which do not allow "for any reason." I'd expect a high executive position to have a contractual agreement.
If your knee weren't jerking so hard, you'd realize this is about MacBooks and MacOS/FreeBSD, so the proper comparison would be Windows, or perhaps less generally, Chrome OS/Linux. Definitely not Android/Linux.
The difference is between something physical (a fingerprint, face, or key) and something which is knowledge (PIN or combination). They can get physical things via warrant or subpoena (inc. papers and possessions), but not knowledge (protected by 5th A).
"Wobble" implies some sort of cyclic shift of the Earth's geographic axis. But they seem to be describing a simple change.
Interestingly, searching for a map showing any such change to the geographic pole produces, well, not much. It seems to be all about the magnetic pole.
I don't think "forced entry" means what you think it means. ANY amount of force can constitute breaking and entering - push a partly open door so you can get through? That's forced entry. But, even walking through a wide open door can still be illegal trespass.
Yep. In addition, the FCC has no Constitutional authority to regulate local/state matters (only the actual communication can even remotely be considered Interstate Commerce). And using public rights-of-way, especially for profit, legitimately subjects users to regulation such as net neutrality. Finally, "selling" spectrum is not only without Constitutional authority, but a gross dereliction of fiduciary responsibility to the public.
Because Ireland currently gets taxes from Apple above the proportion at which Apple does bona-fide business there. Forcing equitable payments removes the tax advantages of Apple having profit making pseudo-businesses there, which should ultimately result in their moving those businesses to other locations which can still offer those tax advantages.

Color me unimpressed.

Ever since number portability, there's no longer a definite geographic relationship between areas, exchanges, etc.
You must be an old fart like me, who still has a landline number. Most of the young 'uns have nothing but a cell phone number.

So, the OP has a 5 year old LGA1150 Z87 MB, and is looking for ongoing BIOS updates. A quick Google shows a MSI Z87-G45 from that timeframe.
Latest BIOS update? 2014-07-22. Want to take another try at being responsive?
So, the effort and time lost for recovery simply doesn't matter?
Well, that was a complete non-sequitur. The discussion was about "firing for any reason." Your attempt to create a straw man fails.
It's now a fact that Windows is malware.
No. It's certainly possible to create a contract which doesn't allow termination of employment "for any reason." See: tenure.
You're a naif. That would eliminate any possibility of a negotiated golden parachute.

They're not to 20 yet.

Volcanoes are just pimples, and should be treated Proactivly.
It's turtles all the way down.
Any "wobble" is just turtle farts.

Next, they'll come up with a way of running batch jobs, instead of 3270 sessions to the mainframe^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h cloud.
But give them points for honesty.

It's a long term lose-lose situation.
"DRM is still the absolute #1 reason why piracy is better than paying outright for a "product" (service?)"
You're early. Talk Like a Pirate Day is tomorrow.
Odd, that you think a phone rated below 7 others, including the Pixel 2, is "at the top."
