If this were a proprietary system that were licensed out to various companies stricken by NDAs etc. it's quite likely that if one company discovered the bug the others would never learn about it.
That, or the individual who discovers it would be fired, blacklisted, and possibly be arrested and charged with some criminal act.
If Apple were actually spying on people with their computers' built-in cameras, someone would have noticed, fast.
That's why I prefer using the microphone. And if Apple wanted to spy, you can be sure the LED would be properly rigged. And don;t be the least bit surprised that the FBI, etc made a secret demand for such a function. In our hysteria, we specifically authorized them to do just that, with no oversight, without our knowledge even.
You create artificial shortages and cripple the hardware to keep the market from "eroding". I guess we don't don't create markets to sell products anymore. We create them for their own sake. That's quite a monster you got there.
In the political world, that would be considered advocacy of using weapons of mass destruction. In fact, it would wipe out their entire population. Call it "Ethic Cleansing".
C'mon! One of these has gotta hit...let's hear some laughs out there...You think I like doing this??
BTW I just upgraded to 9.22... a REAL Mac OS... not one of those phonies with unix underwear... on a real Mac... with no fan... so it's dead quiet... except for the CRT... they all got that horrible squeal they make... ok, and the occasional popping noises... should I be concerned about that?
We've all got some greed in us and corruption is a problem of opportunity, not of character.
If it wasn't a problem of character then it shouldn't matter how much opportunity there is. The strength of character goes along with the power to resist the temptation. And those that enable the corrupt politician are those that reelect them time after time.
HA! The amusing thing to me is that this has happened before... under the Nixon administration. Remember Watergate? But wait! The really hilarious thing is that this has happened before... under the Taft administration. Remember Teapot Dome?? from wiki: The Committee found no evidence of wrongdoing, the leases were legal enough, but records kept disappearing mysteriously. Just how far back shall we go, eh?

Excellent!
Patriotic Americans who allow the govt to install software on their machine to attack the enemy is all well and good...
And it makes the civilian population a legitimate military target. A little like hiding the missiles in the churches.
What is the one and only thing that has ever helped companies servive a depression?
Burning down the factory and collecting the insurance?

Ohhh, Okay... The girls can look, too.
Ah, yes. Very secure the Macintosh is.
Thousands of peepholes for the guys in Cupertino to look through...

Yeah, yeah. And you can retire from the mafia, too.
...call for a full on corruption investigation.

Just how many of these "data centers" would it take to fill Imelda Marcos' closet?
1) "In Soviet Russia, ship clones Mac"?
2) "Mac clones ship"?! That's not news

How do you clone a ship? You can do it with a Mac?
Advertising on the web has tripled over the last five years? It's most definitely what's clogging the pipes...er, tubes.
However, if I *own* the house, I am entitled to charge everyone who wants to visit it.
But you're not entitled to prohibit me from replicating it. You don't own my copy. And you don't own what's inside my copy.
And furthermore, let's not forget that copyright exists to protect the distributors, not the creators. Your boilerplate arguments don't hold up.
I wonder if his wife knows about this...

Well then how do you get her into the suitcase?
