You're missing the point. The data is supposed to be encrypted. It is not. It's not even protected by the PIN.
It's not that it wasn't encrypted. What appears to be happening here is the OS politely decrypting the contents and making available to the USB mass-storage interface.
Actually substituting entire words is a symptom of dyslexia. (Depending of course on who you talk to, I spoke to a child psychologist who insists that there is no such thing as dyslexia at all.)
Seriously, this late in the game who could possible be convinced people are still buying 50 iPads at a time and selling them at a markup?
I take it you didn't check out the prices on eBay.
I suspect that one of the drivers for this is the fact that the iPad is still only available in the US. Here in Canada for example they will only start shipping next Friday. Almost a month lag is pretty huge when measured in Internet time.
You're always jealous of the guy in the next slip who has one just a little bit better.
Ain't that the truth. As a software professional I can afford and appreciate a truly sweet gaming rig, however I'm also the parent of a teenage boy so I have to defend my gaming rig from his friends and clean up the drool every time they leave.
I'd tell them to stay off the lawn too but sometimes they actually cut it for me.

These days my personal laptop has a copy of my family photo archive. (All perfectly innocent... unless you find sunsets and landscapes arousing...) I'm sure this is true of a LOT of people, perhaps even the majority of people who travel with laptops. I suspect my current archive is smaller than average, a few thousand images, under 5GB if I recall. Skimming quickly through this meagre archive is not a quick exercise
If they really intend to inspect every single image on every single incoming laptop then they had better have lots of employees who are not likely to fall asleep...
A little copy/paste work allowed me to run it through google translate:
Science
Petroleum leak in the Gulf of Mexico can be eliminated nuclear explosion
Only one nuclear bomb could save the U.S. from ecological disaster
In the USSR, and not as fountains and stopped using the peaceful atom
Vladimir Lagowski - 03/05/2010
It is possible that unsuccessful attempts to stop the leakage of oil from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico through the underwater robots compel professionals to take extreme measures. Namely - to blow up next to the damaged wells nuclear warhead.
It sounds terribly and incredibly - the idiotic joke. But in fact there were several cases where catastrophes in the fields of fighting in this way. In the former USSR - five times. When nothing else has not helped. It's now in the Gulf of Mexico, where oil oozes out of the way from three places.
First underground nuclear explosion was used to extinguish burning gas wells in "Urt-Bulak (80 km from Bukhara) 30 September 1966. Power charge was 30 kilotons. For comparison, the Hiroshima bomb exploded about 20 kilotons. But at a height of 600 meters. A near Bukhara - at a depth of six kilometers.
The idea of the method is simple: an underground explosion pushes the rock, presses it and actually squeezes the channel well.
Powerful nuclear "plugs" - sometimes 3 Hiroshima - we have enjoyed until 1979. And only once failed. In 1972 in Kharkov region failed to block the emergency gas blowout. The explosion was mysteriously left on the surface, forming a mushroom cloud. Although the charge was minimal - just a 4 kiloton. And laid deep - for more than two kilometers.
Total probability of failure in the Gulf of Mexico - 20 percent. Americans could take a chance. The chance of dying during the flight to the moon they were even higher.
Of course, we used a civilian nuclear program on the ground, the Americans as to the sea - under water where the ocean depth reaches 1500 meters.
But in principle there is no difference - you still need to drill a well at a distance from leaking. And it lowered the bomb. As in the movie "Armageddon" with Bruce Willis in the role of a driller. It is desirable that the calculations were done correctly. Such hope is: the U.S. is full of smart scientists and powerful computers. And Russia could have contributed. We still live peaceful nuclear demolition.
Nuclear war in the peaceful
USSR organized underground nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes in the period from 1966 to 1988. In total, the former Soviet Union tore more than a hundred atomic bombs. According to some data - 124, on the other 169. And that - not counting the military testing of nuclear weapons.
According to the official wording of the explosions were carried out in the interests of the national economy. Among them - the majority - for seismic minerals and for probing the depths. Explosions create underground reservoirs for gas storage, chemical waste, digging canals, building dams, increased the oil recovery. And did not think something harmful. Although, if the estimate, there are hundreds of atomic bombs, perhaps not in every nuclear war to explode.
Peaceful nuclear energy "fooling" and in the U.S.. And they began earlier - in 1962. But in the end produced a much smaller explosions in the interests of the capitalist economy. Although plans were grandiose.

I tire of constantly pushing the idea that the internet is a double edged sword.
Agreed, I suggest we start a whole new meme: "The internet is double headed dildo."
No, but in Canada they can call it the "eh pad", eh?
Hoser!

Oh I don't know, it seems from my experience that anal retentiveness seems pretty evenly spread across the users of all operating systems.

Arg... I should have found a better reference, that one is crap. Just forget I said anything.
Answering the "is-a-new-tesla-greener-than-an-existing-hummer?" in the header: Yes...
Can anyone think of a vehicle that is NOT greener than an existing hummer?
Apparently even a 100 year old Model T has a better mpg rating and they seem to last forever.
The song that immediately jumps to mind is "White and Nerdy" but I doubt that's what you meant.
But I'm lexdyxic you bartless heastard!
And what I was inferring is those attempting to create legislation may well be those attempting to profit on the legislation.
I'm sure that depends on who you talk to. Lots of people made lots of money because of Prohibition.
I rather suspect they turned their backs on Mohammad when they started blowing up women and children.
I suspect that those who blow up women and children in the name of God will argue that it depends entirely on WHICH women and children you blow up.
Meanwhile the angular velocity of Mohammad spinning in his grave represents enough potential energy to provide the whole planet with electricity.

I'm perfectly aware of the idiocy I'm suggesting. I'm also Canadian so my reluctance to boycott the US is somewhat limited.
At some point we have to make a stand against this lunacy. It's now almost impossible to write code without being at the mercy of a patent troll.

Why is it so scary?
most of us believe that much of our national blessing comes from siding with Israel these last many decades
Perhaps I was unclear. I find it scary that someone would
But then I always find political statements with a religious basis pretty damn scary.
Where's the "-1 fsking scary" mod when you need it?
When did uninformed bloggers become news for nerds? Was there a memo that I missed?
The telephone sanitizers and marketing execs will be keeping you company, of course.
It must be Tuesday. I never could get the hang of Tuesdays.
I thought the most likely side-effect was the creation (or liberation) of giant monsters.
Leave my kids out of this!
I was tempted by "lexdysic you bartless heastard"
