From an USAToday story [1], "Among the big telecommunications companies, only Qwest has refused to help the NSA, the sources said.

Can you now please tell that to the bookstores/professors at these higher learning institutions? Many times the changes are just moving questions in the text around.
You don't have to know how to code to contribute. There are many things a non programmer can do such as filling bug reports or feature requests or writing documentation or suggestions.

You mean the Japan where you can see guys masterbating in their parked car? (12 yrs ago)
It says it right in the first sentence, "at the fraction of the usual cost."

Cell Phones are banned in court rooms because they are recording devices.
In a weird art imitates life senerio, this summer's hollywood movie Batman has him doing cell phone evesdroping on the entire city to catch the Joker.
Look up that address on a satellite map and it looks like some nice property

Don't hate the playa, hate the game. Your anger should be directed towards the USPTO
If this concern you bring up is true, then they should be banning cellphones on planes instead of water bottles.
