"Thank God the 2nd amendment is more prescious than lives huh?"
Yes, as is the rest of the Constitution. In fact, the US has fought multiple wars and lost many hundreds of thousands of lives defending it and the other civil liberties this nation was founded upon.
It's a very poor summary. There's this:" Apple used 4,300 concrete slabs, weighing a total of 212 tons, to create the structure. The Spaceship also features 330-ton, 92-foot-tall steel reinforced doors for its restaurant -- the dining-hall doors alone span 60,000 square feet and collectively weigh 330 tons."
Work the math, and those concrete slabs weigh about 100 lbs. each. I don't think so. And is that "doors" or a single "collective" door?
"It would be as if I had a patent on a car engine part and then started filing lawsuits against people who bought cars instead of the car engine manufacturers."
Welcome to US law, which allows exactly that.
...whoever without authority makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells any patented invention... infringes the patent.
I understand how this "security research" works - some freshman college kids come up with a project worthy of honorable mention at a middle school science fair, and expect a good grade for it.
You're an idiot, and don't understand how phones work. If they can read an analog input, they can read the microphone (most phones have multiple ones, even) directly. BTW, it is a motor, which only means it converts electrical energy to mechanical, it doesn't imply it spins. A common loudspeaker is also a motor.
That's obvious, and you've also got the phrase "equity law" stuck in your head with no obvious understanding of what it actually means. Now look up "right of way."
Are you speaking with knowledge of this particular location in Maryland, or your own area? Because, local road funding varies between different states in the US. In my area, much of the funding for road maintenance comes from state gas taxes and vehicle registration fees. Gas taxes are paid even by out-of-state drivers, so they end up paying a share.
Looking at it another way, the neighborhood is seeing more traffic only because a larger road is temporarily under repair. Without that road, they'd be seeing a higher level of traffic all the time. So, they need to put up with some temporary inconvenience to gain a longer term benefit. It's no big deal, they should stop whining and live with it. They're not the special, precious jewels their mothers told them they were.
There's no need for a EULA. You're not making a copy of anything, the firmware comes pre-installed on the device. So, there's no need for the end user to agree to any sort of EULA in order to use the device. Even for a firmware upgrade, there's no need for a license, the consumer isn't copying the firmware, the manufacturer is, by pushing it to the device.
Precisely. If it's wasting his time, perhaps he should do it without using Google services. His time might then not be wasted, but he'd surely use much more of it to achieve the same result.
So, how do you know in advance that there are 22,000 private medical records? The file listing tells you how many, and you only need to see 1 to find out what the files contain.
I'm sorry, but you really don't have any arguments which are reasonable, let alone well thought. Maybe next time.
What "risk of getting caught?" There's only a risk if you're doing something wrong. Are you describing accessing Google, which is free and anonymous (to the extent you want it to be)? How is anonymously accessing a web site any different than accessing an anon FTP server other than the obvious technical difference?
Non sequitur. What you describe is a physical act constituting not only breaking and entering, but burglary. But to continue with your false analogy, you didn't ask the door to let you in, it didn't open upon your request (so there was no authorization), and you didn't ask for the wallet and have it given to you.

Never heard of negative numbers, eh?
"I don't think Apple will steal any of my fart apps."
The perfect antagonist to the Breathe app.
" ISIS didn't really exist before 2003 - so how would the Pentagon have been worried about them pre-2011?"
Because 2003 is before 2011?

You're confusing law with ethics.

Dupe?.

It requires much more than simple "physical access." They hardwired the vibration motor to an analog input.

Hire peeping toms?
You're confused. Colin Powell isn't running for President and a significant part of current news. youarewrong.
His birth certificate says he was born in Jamaica!

Just wait until they start trying to auto-install Win10 on Android phones.
McAfee? Purity? They must be talking about his drugs.

FTFY.

LOL. How exactly do you tell whether a web site intends for you to view it? Has anyone ever explicitly authorized you to post on slashdot?
