If the intention is to protect their trademark, issuing an exemption (a proceed and permitted letter) is also an acceptable option, and it's a hell of a lot less offensive. These guys are just being jerks.
Has it ever occurred to you, that they're advertising 40ft/pixel, but the actual capabilities of the satellite may not actually match the description? What incentive would any government have in telling you the truth when it regards your privacy issues?
The problem with free unencrypted wifi is that it is a risk you take every time you connect. It's pretty trivial to spy on your activities - all it takes is to run a repeater and transparent proxy, and even if all you are doing is going onto facebook, there are probably ways to turn the information that people can collect about you, against your interests.
In my day, wealth was when you had a sports car. And I mean Italian or German, not some Japanese thing. Isn't that significantly more expensive than any iPhone you can buy?
What you're saying is that there has been a violation of agreement between the companies and CSIRO. Why sue for patent infringement when that in itself is sufficient?
I have to say, I rather agree with GP. You will notice that the episode on South Park featuring Muhammed had nothing that could be considered offensive to him personally, and I think that it was deliberately so. You don't make your protests by being vulgar or offensive, you do it quietly, but firmly.
IMO deleting your facebook account causes no administrative pain to facebook. Here's what you can do - for every photo of a face that is already in your account, tag it "Mohammed". Now facebook is forced to hunt you down and delete you. And you can bet they will do a better job of removing your particulars than you can.
You poor guy. Reading any new Dune book is like spitting in Frank Herbert's face. It has none of the original visionary writing, it just feels like someone trying to exploit the series.
I have a problem if Apple had explicitly given permission for me to develop my app, and then pulled those permissions after they changed their minds, and oh, by the way, after I've already spent valuable time, effort, and development dollars on making that app. Isn't this what happened? Steve Jobs basically asks someone to develop this HyperCard. Then he turns around and says it is not allowed. Did he do it before? I seem to recall that Google Voice for the iPhone was a done deal, up to the part Apple rejected it in the approval process. Again, development dollars gone to waste.

And saying that you will mod someone up counts as a mod?
Sully told me being reborn in a big blue body was safe and now OMG WHERE ARE MY GENITALS?

... So in other words the Japanese are successfully commercializing it? That there is a market for such materials?
It is not unreasonable to enter into a contract with Apple and expect them to keep to the rules of the contract though. This is clearly not happening.
Developers! Developers! Developers!

If 4G doesn't take off, then will we start seeing ISPs throttling the speeds of 3G so as to make it look more attractive?
Defend against patent trolls? They don't make anything, how can they infringe on anything?
It was soldiered on by warriors of the jarhead clan. Who went on to bed the natives.
Dynamics was not built to support any particular edition of SQL server, much less 2005 and above. They cannot rely on SQL providing the encryption.
You could be the $499 man! The iPad even does the sound effects when you move it.
Frankly, why hasn't he been sacked yet?
They hire martial artists as lawyers now? Good golly, how are we going to implement the "First, kill all the lawyers" initiative now?
So what they can do is, grow a clone of you, and then compare your faces. Where's your anonymity now?
Step 1: mess up the environment
Step 2: mess up the financial system
What is step 3?
