It doesn't say that the poverty line is much higher today than in 1960, so implying that people are worse off is nonsense.
It's somewhat indexed to inflation via CPI to the 1965 rate ($3,223), so practically it should be the same/similar level even if larger with inflation.

Of course as private enterprise they're free to do as they desire, but that's deviating from the point; the argument was it wasn't feasible to do so because it wasn't/isn't profitable.
Apple should simply freely admit what you stated rather than cling to false arguments.

TFA says moving production to the US would add 65$ to labor costs.
Not certain where they get those statistics, but even if they were that high, adding such a cost would still retain the iPhone's profitability.

Actually if you look at the statistics it looks like the cost of producing an iphone in China is dwarfed by all other costs -- so moving production elsewhere just be subtracting from an already lucrative profit and naught else.

New FBI System IDs People By Voice, Iris, More 151
cultiv8 writes "Under the system, state and local police officers also will eventually use hand-held devices to scan suspects' fingerprints and send the images electronically to the FBI center. 'It's a quick scan to let police officers know if they should let the person go, or take him into custody,' Morris said. In later stages, NGI system also will be expanded to include the analysis of palm prints, handwriting, faces, human irises and voices."

They didn't. At first it was a truncated version.
Only some time after was the full video released, after complaints as to how there were sections missing.

I find it odd that you assume Assange's lawyers are making things up. Between wikileaks and government, the government has a longer track record of lying to get what they want.
That's only because wikileaks has only been around for a few years.
They've already been caught doing "selective editing" with that bombing video posted some months back.
