Comment Re:Samsung have themselves to blame...not the Judg (Score 1) 404

You're trying to tell us the evidence was so hard for Samsung to find they couldn't get it submitted earlier in the discovery process?

Was the data stored in LEO and retrieving it involved launching a rocket with specially trained astronauts, or something of equal scale. By submitting it late when it was such an obvious piece of evidence it means Apple would be severely hampered in producing a counter, so there's really only one reasonable explanation for why they tried to pull that one and the judge obviously didn't buy what ever dog-ate-my-homework story they tried.

She doesn't have to. It's only been ~1 year since the incident and it relates to the release of iodine, which not only decays extremely rapidly but was counteracted quickly with the distribution of iodine tablets. Not only that, thyroid exams aren't exactly common anywhere. I imagine you'd see interesting things if you did similar examinations in random locations around the US.

If there's an abnormal thyroid nodules and cysts that are not cancerous, one of the obvious first places to look is at the iodine tablets. It's not hard to imagine the parents being very diligent at administering those.

So yeah, no need to panic just yet.

That's kinda what I thought too before writing my masters paper on a subject related to privacy here in Japan.

Basically it isn't really as much individualism as we understand it, rather it is about being invisible to the government so that they can't spot what they think is a nail that sticks out.

So you got a real smackdown of your crazy Apple conspiracy theories by the facts that they are actually doing more than most other companies, and now you call him rude and demand to know how they pay for it?

Seriously, it's almost as embarrassing to watch as the Foxconn suicide or Greenpeace environmental impact reports.

You mean like... Pretty much everything high-tech in modern society that were built on a foundation of particle physics done in the first half of the previous century?

There were scientists back in the 50's that were complaining about the $30.000 being 'wasted' on such an expensive particle accelerator.
