Try viewing trailers for US shows and movies from outside the US.. The recent trailer for Breaking Bad comes to mind.

Samsung has an iTunes clone called KIES. Same level of crapware.

US tax rates are ridiculously low compared to other developed nations..

US President Barrack Obama has been quoted saying "since this NAND type RAM is such basic knowledge and essential for producing smartphones, Samsung should provide it for free to US companies, starting with Apple since they are already violating their precious design IP."

I'd say that this would be ample reason for the US Government to retract Infosys' permit for handling any H1B contract and conduct a criminal investigation on grounds of systemic discrimination, conspiracy and fraud. Bye bye Infosys.

but being a contractor you have no legal ground to sue, so you're screwed. maybe you should have accepted that perm position instead of thinking with your wallet!

Infosys looks for cheap employees for clients who do not value skills and want to pay massive wages with no benefits.
there, fixed that for you.

you are right on the spot. I have been replaced by incompetent junior IT personnel from Tata Consultancy (same kind of shop as Infosys) at a large nationalised bank in the EU. They don't care about what you can or cannot do. They don't even care about the hourly rate. They only care about executing their contracts; which means flying in as many junior IT people as possible to replace locals. The bank still pays about the same rate, the difference is that the newly hired people are crammed in to little houses (6-8 persons per house), they have to cook their own lunch because they cannot afford the company restaurant, and are generally unfit for working in western culture. Then after 6-12 months when the visa expires they replace the team with a fresh batch of juniors and the cycle begins once again. The management layer sucks up the difference between paid rate and paid salary, which is huge. It all smells like corruption and discrimination but being an independent contractor I don't have any solid ground for legal action. However, I am still in touch with some of the remaining staff and I have been informed that the whole IT ecosystem is becoming such an amateurish mess that they are already reconsidering. Too late in my opinion.

I've got nothing to hide, so there is no reason to look. Should work both ways.

Not cooperating with the guardians of your freedom would clearly be reason for arrest and a warrant.

Wasn't the PRISM program designed to 'spy only on foreigners'? How can a Ma citizen then be legally spied upon? I'd open a can of legal worms if it were me, this is not only unconstitutional but so illegal that everyone involved should be thrown in jail. For a very long time. The program shut down. And all details open to the public to review what their government has been working on.

It is strange that one can be convicted for both conspiracy to commit wire fraud and for the wirefraud itself. I thought the 'conspiracy to ..' is a provision in law for when no actual crime has been commited? Otherwise you can convice everyone twice, once for conspiring, and then again for the actual thing. Conspiracy to a DUI .. and then the DUI itself. Weird line of reasoning.

Which Apple implemented using an optional adapter. A big finger to the EU consumer, like their pricing strategy.

Clever use of a bug in Safari, who would have thought of that.. I'd say the US should be able to knock out this site in a few minutes, by using the provisions in the SOPA act. Right?

To answer your question, what legitimate use can there be for custom subtitles for movies which have not yet been released to the public ..
