To be fair, I've been using PayPal as a buyer, occasionally a merchant, and frequently a service supplier (having people pay me via PayPal for my web development), since about 2001. They've only ever frozen my account once, and I just had to call and get it unfrozen, which they did while I was on the phone.
While I think that you should withdraw all your money daily at least (especially if you're a merchant), I don't think you should avoid it just because of their antifraud team.
So they must be aiming at a different market, because the idea that withdrawals to a bank account aren't available means businesses will flee faster than Speedy Gonzales.
tl;dr: I was joking. There's a bunch in your post that's inaccurate though, like the idea that this has anything at all to do with individual apps sending data to arbitrary servers, rather that iOS itself sending data to Apple. Read the article again... or don't, since ignorance seems to be bliss for you.
If Apple sees that this increases Android usage, they'll reverse policy on the Flash block, and users everywhere will praise Steve for his insight and timing.
You seem to be arguing that we couldn't support him and the rest of the things you mention. I argue his support is worthwhile. Where are your citations that we wouldn't be able to "provide more food for the hungry" while still eliminating the broken insurance system in the US and providing single payer care? Much research suggests the opposite, that by eliminating the overhead of private insurance, we'd still be able to reduce the overall money spent while still covering everyone in a single-payer solution.
You'll never see Google support extraction of search data from a non-web interface. The reason is because once you have the data, it's all too easy to strip out the sponsored links that provide Google its revenue.
A shame, too, because a lot of good uses would come from third parties being able to CRUD Google search results. Of course, underground, everyone and their mother uses regular expressions and HTML parsers to grab Google results anyway, but it'll never be officially supported (and I don't count the AJAX search as you still can't get the data in a database usable form).
They target Limewire because they made the mistake of having a company at the forefront of their P2P application. Companies make nice, big targets for lawsuits.
BitTorrent, on the other hand, has the necessity to give people the IP addresses of their peers, since it's a functional requirement to get the data, so the obvious targets are the peers themselves.

Sure, when an article is just posted, you sometimes get a GNAA troll or two. But once things settle a bit (usually about five minutes into posting) the trolls just magically disappear, assuming you have close-to-default user settings. Moderation is great here.
The "tamper-protected circuit" is yet another attempt to bring about trusted computing, the idea that while you physically own a computer, there are parts of it that if accessed in non-approved ways, stop working. It's the only real way to implement unbreakable DRM... or at least, it makes the target the hardware, which can be much more difficult to crack than a software implementation. Think encrypted RAM with the key stored in such a "tamper-protected" chip, gooped up with epoxy and a self-destruct mechanism if it detects an attempt at physical access. They're just framing the idea in a different way; the result is the same.
If this ever actually took off, it could split the internet in two, between open and "trusted". Avoid these things like the plague, and refuse any hardware or software that uses them.
Absolutely. I've personally had projects where they took the cheaper developer over me, then came back to me in two weeks asking if I could still work with them. It's unfortunate with those projects that we couldn't just save some time and skip the superfluous steps.
(Please note: In no way am I stating that Indian developers as a group are less skilled or whatever else. There are a lot of firms that exploit Western companies looking for cheap coders though; they are who I am speaking of.)
No, fuck that. If you have another job offer from a better company, you TAKE IT. Taking a second-chance offer from a current employer will only make them lose all respect for you.
Only desperate people apply for these jobs; competent people will be looking for too much levity: either in pay, or professional (and personal) courtesy. As a result, they won't be hired.
You are incorrect, and your salary range is way high. This job is targeted at India, and they would jump at it and ask "how high?"

I mean hell, at least if you're going to go the route of suing pirates, go after the much easier and larger BitTorrent and ****** targets. They haven't even touched ****** and it's been around since the eighties, and is STILL the fastest method of downloading!
At least with such technically incompetent adversaries, pirates don't really have to worry about anything for a while.

I'm asking if you can cite the idea that Google (or the carrier) cannot delete an application that wasn't installed through the Marketplace.
I don't know, probably. I'd immediately take them to small claims though. Hasn't happened thusfar.
Can you cite sources for this claim?

Your hypothesis sounds reasonable, but in this case, it's not Apple. It's a company marketing an "anti-malware" package for any smartphone they can convince people is unsafe. You can see why they might want you to think Android is more vulnerable than it is.
At least your assembly programs that purely use CPU registers will be incredibly fast. :^P

And one of their licensees just happens to be the FBI.
False dilemma.

Sure, but if they find out you're accessing Google with a bot, they'll ban you.

If you can, then you’re A LOT more childish than me.
BUT: I’m not judging.
Errr...
Shame and ridicule are still around; they're just on IRC support channels and newsgroups.

...is that people still use Limewire.

Not to mention that if he did this, he'd likely suddenly start getting a lot of unexplained Fs on his grade report.
Like she's worried about the surely less than 0.1% of people who are actually informed about this.
