The authors of that related article are not against Title II for ISPs per se, but, imo, are against the government doing anything to help consumers.

Well, at the current rate, the OS will be little more than a data delivery system as google, et alia, harvest all manner of data about the occupants of the smart home, and sell that information to other companies.
...For driverless cars to work, to decrease congestion, increase safety, reduce lawsuits and lower our insurance premiums everyone would have to be driving one....
For driverless cars to work, they would have to work under more than just ideal conditions. They would have to be able to, for example, navigate around potholes in the road and other stealthy road hazards that the current crop of driverless cars tend to overlook.

Have a driverless car navigate a New England winter, stop showing them running in sunny California and the western deserts.
True. But where this attack is unique is that it installs itself in a boot-level device, not on the hard disk, and executed BEFORE the OS starts running. Even re-installing the OS or replacing the hard drive won't disinfect the system.

Then there's this gem:
The bootkit can even replace Apple’s cryptographic key stored in the ROM with one generated by the attacker, preventing any future legitimate firmware updates from Apple, the researcher said in a blog post.
The ntpd source should have been re-architected and rewritten years ago.

The trouble is the the ntp.org project seems to be more concerned about adding every last neat new feature, and less concerned about the quality of the software they push upon the world.

Looks like the state Attorneys General are the newest benefactor of policital contributions in the ongoing purchasing of our government by special interests.
The sprawling Ogallala Aquifer in the Great Plains provides freshwater for roughly one-fifth of the wheat, corn, cattle and cotton in the United States. But key parts of the underwater aquifer are being depleted faster than they can be recharged by rain (see map)....
imo, the news organizations are aiding the criminals by publishing the material. If the news organizations did not publish the materials, then the leverage the criminals have would be less.

While I do not look at Sony's latest threat tactics as beneficial to the situation, I also think the news organizations should stop their feeding frenzy.
... that I view everything in a full-screen window. I do not.

Indeed, I do take heart to what the article says, as the individual windows on my desktop are taller than they are wide. But If I were to flip my monitor to portrait mode, I'd get less usable screen real estate, not more.
The author of the article seems to use the desktop monitor the way a tablet is used, i.e., a full-screen window for each app. I do not do that on my desktop, I do not want to do that on my desktop.
The author of the article should try using a desktop monitor more efficiently, and stop putting everything in a full screen window.;)

Playing devil's advocate, it's possible...
Unfortunately, you present not a single shred of evidence, nor do you provide any evidence to counter what the FBI has said.

Devil's advocate or not, without any evidence the credibility of what you assert is zero.

The tech firms will collect as much data as possible, and sell that data to their "partners".

The skies in the Atacama Desert are amazingly clear. Check out this video for a sample.
You can add a petty subjective clause if you want to...
I don't consider code quality to be a petty thing.

I have not written a NTP server.

The NTP people are generally more concerned about accurate & precise network time than about code quality or security.

Maybe I should start hitting the Amazon reviews and flagging all the books whose grammar usage I find confusing.
Let's see, this book uses strange and confusing Capitalization, making it difficult to read. Maybe Amazon should suppress it as well.
