while your ad-absurdum attempts at creating an artifical reality are amusing, public malls are still privately owned. The owner can make rules there, and your attempts to enforce your right will certainly infringe on his. As he is the owner, he can mandate no photography in his mall.
It's never gone to the supreme court because it would be ridiculous in the case being described. The mall certainly has a right to enforce a no photography policy, and the guy has the right to stand outside mall property and take pictures to his heart's content.
I'm sorry you disagree, but its been long established that businesses can enforce no photography rules. They are not public in the same way the sidewalk is public. If an agent of the business asks you to leave, for whatever reason, you MUST leave, even if you plan to follow up discrimination accusations afterwards (although be prepared to prove it). Anything else is trespassing. Your right to photography doesn't exist in a mall or a store - they can ask you not to.
They are public in terms of expectation of privacy, but private in that they are owned by someone else and you cannot do whatever you wish willy nilly. They cannot search your bag without consent, though they can ask you to leave and call the police. They cannot confiscate your property.
They can ask you to stop photographing, or giving an impromptu recital, even though you technically have the right in the charter to do it. Just elsewhere.
The actual law says that to confiscate his camera they'd have to arrest him for taking pictures likely to be used in a terrorist attack. I imagine the court case that followed, and then the lawsuit, would be an interesting gong show.
I am not a lawyer, but I am an avid photographer in canada.
shopping malls are private property in the sense that someone owns them and can set the rules. If they ask you to leave because you were taking pictures, you are required to leave. Generally though there are signs posted, and the rent-a-cops won't kick you out without warning.
but they can take my camera from my cold dead fingers, or present a real police officer and a warrant from a judge.
...yet. This is the way it works - first you make it optional, then you take away the infrastructure to support any other option, then you make it mandatory claiming the other way costs too much or can't be supported anymore.
Either take the enhanced search, or go through the x-ray machine whose radiation dosage is unpublished. Good good, now be on your way citizen.
Since when was it ok for government to force you to be fingerprinted if you haven't been charged with a crime, joined the military or police, or work in some other high security facility?
this comes up all the time. go look at any university's IP disclaimers. If you invented it in your role as an employee, they own it. It doesn't matter who funds the school - the school funds you.
that kernel isn't a part of cm7 - its someone's custom kernel that other people are installing.
even still, sony could unlock the bootloader, but specify that while custom roms are allowed, overclocking isn't.
supporting your customers putting in their own unpaid time to make your phone better while voiding their warranty sure is a win/win for them, but I don't see why sony should be involved.
I've never overclocked a phone nor removed charging heat protections (those are all in circuit, btw, not in the OS).
If manufacturers keep putting out shitty iterations of android on phones, and now expect the online community to pickup their slack, they have to man up and realize that its the smallest percentage of broken phones that are related to these issues. more people have their regular stock phones die, screw up, fallin a lake, or on the floor, or whatever, than the 7 people who brick their phones installing a recovery/boot loader.
So either this has manufacturer support or it doesn't. the halfway measure is a joke.
sadly it often is different. It requires installing boot loaders and things of that type, and if you don't follow instructions you could potentially brick your phone. I suppose if sony put an open boot loader in their phones so that it wouldn't require installing a custom one, then they'd go a long with the various rom communities.
you're forgetting that these people aren't honest, they buy judges and politicians, and eventually the lawyers they hire become the judges who rule on cases.

These people aren't bound by the same rules you and I are. They know the people they need to know, and they buy their way into anything they need to buy. In Canada the new conservative majority is tabling a canadian DMCA, even though its absolutely terrible for canadians.
The governments no longer fear the people, and they're outright bought out by various corporations and lobby groups.
I didn't even know what webos was until I scored a $100 touchpad, but after using it for a bit I'd have to say its probably one of the best mobile operating systems in existence, head and shoulders above android in terms of ease of use and stability.
I'm wondering how someone could take a product this good (webos, not the touchpad) and fail to sell it. They should have fired their marketing people before the touchpad people.//the more you know
I imagine you can't do these things because someone somewhere owns a patent on them, and needs approximately a bajillion dollars in licensing fees. That seems to be the way the world works now - patents pushing innovation (back into the dark ages).
It's funny that with so many overwhelming abuses on human rights occuring around the world (sudan, congo, burma, chad, somailia, sri lanka, just to name a few) you're pretending to stop ignoring atrocities.
This sort of language is useful political propaganda, but pretending israel is the same as nazi germany is demonstrating either extreme bias or extreme ignorance.
I've used 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2011. They keep changing the UI, not necessarily for the worse, but just moving stuff around. My employer apparently is buying 2012 soon, so I'll see if there's anything interesting in there. For the most part the improvements I'm noticing in latest releases seem aimed at 3d.

they can certainly ban photography - its entirely legal to do so. They can also ban protests, etc.
Just because you have a right to do something doesn't mean you have a right to do it in my house, place of business, etc.
They can't discriminate, though.

I had a cop come look at my 1dmk2 and 70-200 f/2.8, tell me I had a nice camera, and leave. rent-a-cops are the worst, though.

yes, blame this on teachers, not on the management that is making the decisions. good job, you've managed to blame someone with no say in this at all!

When an employee makes a discovery/work/patent/etc in their capacity as an employee, usually the employer own that IP.

so then why do they need sony to be involved here? Anyone interested can already go to xda-developers and work on/download roms, bootloaders, etc.

custom roms were the only reason windows mobile phones of the past were usable. this is not new.
the question is:
does installing a custom rom still void the warranty? if the answer is yes then this is bullshit.

alternately you could be happy since they already forced cash money out of intel, and now they're going to do the same to apple.
