Latitude is an optional feature. One that would be disabled by default (since it's a "check-in" type system, it is a guarantee that it would be opt-in, not opt-out, just like it is on Android). It's not as much tracking info as you're making it out to be. So yeah, we'll all happily forget that bit. Because it's really unimportant.
Money laundering actually. That's the kicker. By claiming that his company was involved in copyright infringement on a massive scale (but insufficient under the extradition treaty to apply to have him relocated) they could then claim that all the money the company gained was illegal, and therefore money laundering (which does carry a penalty sufficient for extradition).
If his lawyers can tank the copyright infringement charge, the money laundering charge collapses too, and the FBI have nothing.
In most countries, merely ripping the DVD is illegal in itself. Go check your format shifting provisions - the MPA(*) pays big money to prevent format shifting of video content being legalised. However, even if that doesn't work, coming soon to a legislature near you: TPM circumvention controls. Brought to you by the United States Government.
To be honest, I'm not convinced they like Google either, and if Google were smaller I expect that Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin would already be in federal prison. Kim was just an easier target because he is in a US friendly country.
You know, it didn't used to be like this. There was a time when the US and NZ would snarl at each other upon entering a room. Something to do with not permitting your ships into our waters because you can "neither confirm nor deny whether this ship is carrying a nuclear payload".
A routing problem that affects one customer, that even the ISP can't find an explanation for? And let's not forget that his ISP is one of the few that controls the backhaul all the way to the cable out of the country, and is the one that controls the connection to the United States by virtue of its 51% ownership of Southern Cross Cable. If they can't find a "routing problem" on their network, it's likely there is not one.
If he's dealing with Telecom or Gen-i, it's more likely he's connected by fibre to the exchange at Mayoral Drive rather than Sky Tower. A couple of milliseconds does sound about right from the traffic speeds we get on the WAN at work. As soon as you hit the internet though, all bets are off.200ms to get to the other side of the city isn't as unlikely as you think.
No, not at all. They owned the printer. They set restrictions on what he could use it for. He used their printer for something that they did not want it used for, so they said "ok, return our printer please". It's closer to a copy shop asking you to leave because you photocopied pornography on their printers. Sure, it's not illegal - but they don't want you doing it with their stuff anyway.
You know what, you're a fucking moron. The document that contains that line is the rules. The ones you've claimed don't exist and are "only made up by Apple haters". So fuck you.
The GCSB reports to the Office of the Prime Minister. He personally is where the buck stops - it is his fault, same as how it would have been Helen Clark's fault if the GCSB did it on her watch.
An no, I'm not jealous of him. I despise National and all it stands for with a fiery rage only slightly less than the one I reserve for ACT. They exist solely to undermine the social fabric of our perfectly well balanced country in favour of the rich individuals and the overseas corporates. Under National, we've seen education eroded, healthcare eroded, increased armament of the police, prisons outsourced to a company which consistently fails 16 of 19 performance metrics, the impending sale of the entirety of the profitable SOE portfolio, our national debt more than quintupled, billions of tax dollars wasted in roads which noone wants or needs except maybe Fulton Hogan and Mainfreight, the largest region of the country merged into a massive city which is resulting in rates increases anywhere from 100% to 500% (under the guise of saving money, of course), social support for single mothers crushed into oblivion (with crippling work-testing obligations), increased crime (they claim it decreased though - because they started excluding family violence), and the list just goes on. But hey, if you're earning over $70,000 a year and you don't give a shit about your fellow humans, then I suppose that's fine by you.
Then you face the new and improved problem of small time artists being unfairly affected by the actions of the tossers running the big companies. Because while the average slashdotter likes to claim they'd neeeeever pirate from an indie artist, that's bollocks and we all know it. And you don't tend to see indie artists pushing for three strikes legislation and crap like that either.
I don't think there's really an easy solution to be honest, and there probably never will be.
JPMorgan: story indicates social engineering involved. Not a hack. World Bank: Indian offshoring firm responsible for the breach. Not a hack. Suffolk County National Bank: Valid hack. Citibank: Breach method unknown. Unverified if this is a hack. Operation High Roller: Client side malware steals online banking credentials to impersonate valid users. Not a hack. Bank of India: Valid hack. Net-security article: Isn't talking about a bank hack at all. Is an article about how easy it is to get into bank accounts by installing trojans.
So from your seven "examples", two are valid, one is unverified, and four are invalid. Somehow, I feel like your opinion is somewhat unimportant, really.
In retrospect, it certainly feels like it. I voted for the Greens because their platform while incomplete aligned mostly with my interests. After all, they unanimously voted against the Skynet Bill.
Let me quote the exact line Apple uses in the rules - you know, that document you refuse to believe exists.
"We will reject Apps for any content or behavior that we believe is over the line. What line, you ask? Well, as a Supreme Court Justice once said, "I'll know it when I see it". And we think that you will also know it when you cross it."
What the fuck does that even mean? It's basically "we'll also reject whatever we feel like". For completeness, it should be understood that Microsoft has a similar document for Windows Phone - though they have explicitly opted not to an include an "or whatever" clause like Apple has.
Um, you do realise that the devices at each end of the cable could do the negotiation without the cable needing to do anything beyond blindly spit power right?
Of course not, because that would be admitting that Apple really doesn't have your best interests at heart.
I did have problems. And I still do - in my office at work there's virtually no signal at all, while phones from other manufactures manage a weak but acceptable signal.
Cisco still has IOS. It stands for, and always will stand for, the Cisco Internetwork Operating System. You'll never get a network engineer to recognise "iOS" as being anything Apple.
No, not at all. There's a list of rules, but it's headed up by a note saying "you'll know when you've crossed the line". I mean, what the fuck? There's actually a rule in their list saying pretty much "and any other shit we come up with".
The app itself works really well as is, the issue is data correctness
No it doesn't. It's missing several features which people actually used, such as bus route planning. That doesn't "work really well", that's a feature downgrade.

Do you also get random copies of music in your library?
I'm up to about three tracks now with duplicates, and growing!

So in other words, you cannot back up your assertions either.

Except that users could have... wait for it...

Maybe they're trying to make it not shit. If so, they'd be doing more than Apple is.

Waze is credited as a data source for Apple Maps, so I'm not going near it with a barge pole. So is OpenStreetMaps so I'll stay away from that too.
