I didn't express myself as intended, apologies. I meant to say that he should have given back the laptop as soon as he laid hands on it, not wait until he got confronted.

I agree with ArchieBunker and people seem to be commenting completely on the sidelines. I really recommend RTFA if only to avoid going to the joint that the thief co-owns (I don't care what he says at the end, he should have given it back, he didn't, he's a thief).

Seriously, it's not long, it'll only take a minute of your time.

As far as the article I would really like to read documents relative to the gag order and the source of the news; as mentioned in a few comments, is this gag imposed on twitter itself or users using twitter (the twitters legalese is specific on the subject and knowing UK judges anything is possible). Also, is the gag order specific to UK users or does this judge think we still live in colonial times (I repeat: anything is possible).

I could go on but as I was typing I stopped caring...

Do I have to invent the original series model with a detachable manual scanner or the TNG unibody type? Just to know which direction to take...

A huge credit card company releasing information (I don't care what kind) to a third party? I hope their servers are decent and users follow protocol... Yeah, I hope.

You just gave someone in Hollywood an idea for their next craptastic movie... Nice going...

I surely hope so, even if it is just on a EU level. In fact I would be thrilled this to be put forth to the EU Commission as a violation of consumer rights and confidence. I know there are lots of big companies that have similar practices and I think that they should be made to an example.

Why did they do a zoom in to Finland during the few last seconds?

to any systems security is welcome. I do think however that MS should have introduced this directly with the launch of W7. So much could have been done by now.

... is my conclusion, as even my mother is aware about this problem and news. But how many phone users do you think will be ditching their phones? Or do you think that people will keep on using them knowingly and simply, not care...?

... these titles. It's not a revolution. They sent a ranting letter in good ol' British fashion. Period.

They might actually be right about what they say in the letter. But they are very much not revolting. M2C

...comments are right in saying why did you give the contract and not the goods. Yet that's what the business does every time in these cases. Play catch up. It's todays business model.
