I was sick of those shaky, too close, out of focus policial videos.
Now they should pass a law enforcing horizontal filming.

Lots of fucked up countries around then (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_call_recording_laws).
To mention some, Canada, the majority of US states, and many European countries allow 1-party consent call recording, for personal and legal uses only. It's like that in my fucked up country too.
And in my country as well that applies only to call conversations, not video, where it's easy to include a third party in the "conversation", which of course is a privacy violation, let alone post it on the internet.

The difference between medicine and poison is in the dose.

How you guessed?

If your definition of sane country is one that takes off you essential liberties like recording your own conversations, I want to keep living in my fucked up, mad as hell but still free country.

There are more advantages on Android, I'd like to add my 2 cents here.
On iPhone there are no call recording apps, on Android there are, and they're essential apps for me.
In my country they're perfectly legal as long as you are a part in the conversation. My recorded calls already saved me of some serious trouble, including one where I was risking lose a property which I bought with all of my lifetime savings at the time. Long story.
Sure, Google never fails in being a d1ck and is blocking them soon on Play Store, but you can still sideload.
Another, sure, is P2 connector. Specially important if you hate anything Bluetooth like me. The few things that works are much more expensive than their wired counterpart. I have a $15 wired phone that sounds better than my $150 BT phone.
Speaking of money, any peripheral for iPhone cost much more than their Android counterpart. Some stuff necessarily are for iPhone and for iPhone only. But in Android some stuff just works sometimes out of the box (if it plugs it works), at most some need a cheap, generic adapter, like input (mouse/keyboard/joystick for PC), storage (thumbdrives, external HD), even video output (HDMI).
Not to mention the cost of an iPhone itself, at least in my country they cost 3x to 5x more than an Android phone with similar or even better specs.

It was supposed to do 5 flights, it wasn't expected to last long.

That's because the case was being processed in a iPhone 4S updated with iOS 9.

Even if he could win, the man is 79 years old. Maybe he was just not willing to fight a long and stressful fight in court, and chose to just enjoy a cool $50K while alive.

I wonder if is it possible to design a device that can detect the laser and its direction, triangulate its position and call the police?

And please, please may it include an user manual, so we can elucidate one of the biggest mysteries of the 90's cinema.

Is not buying them. It just works.

What if I want to watch TV on the cellphone?
Or use a smart TV with cellphone capabilities (i.e. Android OS + keyboard & mouse)?
This law is moronic.

In a case of attack, if the enemy knows where the country cables are (sometimes this information is wide available), it takes a bunch of well-aimed missiles to cut all connections, except for satellite links.

If my private information is left exposed by those who were supposed to keep it private, did they committed a crime?
I ask because it remembers that case of a journalist who almost got prosecuted for founding a trove of SSNs in a state website.

Can inertial positioning be used in complement or even alternative to satellite positioning systems? How precise can it be?
Is there any other alternatives to satellites (i.e. some sort of astrolabe, very sensitive compass)?
