Well that's obvious. Net, as in Internet, and Hui, as in a Maori meeting of sorts. Since we're in NZ, it's actually a perfectly appropriate name for a conference about the internet.
Ok, well I definitely thank the deities that I am not in your country and/or state then. Around here there is no bookkeeping considerations to that sort of thing, and even if there were, most employers just do it off the books anyway.
Oh for fuck's sake. There is no evidence an employee didn't give permission either. So stop fucking claiming that we need to assume Apple is telling the truth, whether intentionally or not.
And no a car thief can't do that, because they are held in custody until an investigation has been completed. And by law, the car thief is considered innocent until PROVEN guilty. You, for some reason, seem to think that if Apple is a plaintiff in a case the normal rules do not apply and we instantly declare the defendant a liar.
Ah, that old chestnut. Yes, same here. I'm not a manager (nor would I want to be) but my pay also halts at 40 hours worth. Strangely, they still require us to submit timesheets - so they can bill the customers for our actual hours worked while not paying us past the salaried hours worked.
And you are still doing it. The employee who gave permission if the defendant in this case is telling the truth likely does have a motive to lie, as they will likely face disciplinary action for giving permission to do something in violation of company policy.
Hence, neither side is motiveless, and therefore neither side can be trusted until a proper investigation can be carried out.
Where do you get that dumb idea from? The only source for this claim that there's a backdoor is a crackpot blogspot blog. Wow, really credible.
And Skype doesn't send all traffic through supernodes anyway - calls are still peer to peer with supernodes being used for discovery (although I think they may also step in if firewall punching is needed as well).
I did not say we should accept his word without evidence, far from it. However I said we should not accept Apple's word either without evidence. No entity is more deserving of unquestioning belief in their word than another. That is why the issue needs to be investigated.
Also, they don't sell the display models to customers without wiping them first- they are usually packed with lots of software only useful for the purposes of showroom demo.
No, that's not true at all. What makes Apple's word more trustworthy than his? This is why we have investigations - to determine who, on the balance of probabilities, is telling the truth.
He means that all the ARM hardware will be shipped with Windows 8 and SecureBoot enabled and locked to only run Windows 8 (actually, this isn't strictly true - Microsoft only dictates that SecureBoot be on and locked enabled on ARM, but if you could convince an ARM manufacturer to ship with a Linux SecureBoot signature, then you could still run Linux on it).
How is PayPal even slightly relevant? The only PayPal account that would be involved would be Apple's (and I don't see PayPal cutting Apple off) and Apple pays out developers by direct wire transfer into their bank account.
Not entirely true tough. I understand you can run it as a hobby, but the problem is that the infrastructure to run your torrent tracker or whatever costs money. And if you're DepositFiles, or MegaUpload, your infrastructure costs a lot of money. The theory from Google is that if you cut off the income, the site can no longer afford to stay afloat at all.
Yeah, it was a single event. They bought it. That's the value of the company, and they only just realised that purchase was a gigantic unrecoverable fuckup (as opposed to a recoverable one, where you might refrain from writing it down because you think it might actually gain the value you attributed to it eventually).
Of course, this is a complete waste of time - you will refuse to believe anything about Microsoft that doesn't involve them being evil (as opposed to fiscally irresponsible, which is this case).
Many (not all) of them have "Premium" subscription or donation type things. The summary even points out that they're referring to not just advertising networks, but also to payment providers (like PayPal). If the pirate sites can't get ad money, donation money, or subscription money, how are they meant to survive? Exactly.

Access to contacts actually requires explicit authorisation too now. In the next software release anyway.
What funds?

Face it, Apple isn't fucking sainted.
You mean the requirements for SecureBoot on ARM based systems only?
That's a small fraction of the market, and applies to virtually no PCs.

Don't bother, he's a nut. Notice that he honestly believes that personal income should be capped?
Yeah, we're better off in a world without his ideas.
No, you're doing it again.

The fraud convictions probably.
The judicial system seems to be doing a great job of tanking that lawsuit though, innit?
For some reason, you claim that we should believe Apple without evidence.

One they've received billions of dollars of taxpayer dollars, it certainly becomes the business of those taxpayers. Nice try though.
He's either complaining about Windows Phone, or complaining about iOS. Presumably he needs to get out more.
1.3 billions does not make sense. More than one WHOLE is plural. Only one whole is singular. Hence, it still is not billions.

No, Apple's problem is he's holding the wrong one.

Ad companies are paid CPM. Content publishers are paid CPC. You had statistically zero impact on this company.
