and they've done their best at tax avoidance depriving each country where they trade of valuable tax revenue
In violation of the law? No? Better change the laws then. I damn well take my mortgage deductions, etc, when I do my taxes. I owe that to me. If Apple (and all of the other companies....) take advantage of loopholes and other deductions it's because they owe that to their shareholders. Don't like it? Get the laws changed.
LOL @ the car analogy also.
I think thats down to Xerox Parc, not Apple
Umm, other than spouting a cliché, have you ever seen what PARC designed? No such thing as direct object manipulation (you clicked on an icon and then got a menu; you couldn't do anything with that icon. Couldn't drag it, move it, double-click it.). No hierarchal space, nothing analogous to QuickDraw, etc. I could go on...
Just because a buggy also had 4 wheels doesn't mean your BMW is much of a derivative.
"The company lists dozens of open source projects and components that it contributes code to: from the Apache web server"
And that, my friends, is what open source is all about. You use, you give code back.
The article title should really be "Apple's Spotty Record of Giving Monetarily To The Apache Foundation." To agree with that Apple should be giving them money is the moral equivalent of saying that users should have to pay to use Apache.
What do you think would happen if hunting became deregulated? Game populations would disappear.
Doesn't that depend on the nature of the catastrophe and how much population has been lost?
Mankind has been selectively breeding animals for favoured traits, including behaviour, for thousands of years. All we will need is cattle bred to come running up to any humans it sees, calling out eat me eat me.
And they can come up to our tables and tell us what cuts are particularly good, right?
I guess no one ever hunts in your world? Or will people just be going to the post-apocolyptic Safeway?
Knowing how to shoot and shoot well would be an invaluable skill.
I think your meds wore off.
Imagine out-Hunter S. Thompson'ing Hunter S. Thompson. This did.
What the summary fails to explain properly is that this vulnerability only works with permissions that are new when the device gets an OS update. Say you install an app and it asks for permission to use NFC, but your device's OS is old and doesn't support NFC (pre 4.0 I think). You install it anyway. Then you upgrade the OS and now it supports NFC. The app then gets the NFC permission without any further prompts or warning to the user.
That is certainly an issue, but not the huge gaping security flaw the summary makes it sound like. Apps can only ask for normal permissions that the OS offers, not bypass security or the sandbox. It's basically a UI issue.
Yeah, and since the carriers update Android devices so infrequently the threat exposure is more theoretical than practical.
'In an ensuing discussion with the reporter from the Associated Press, I called the technology "bitcom."'
If he had called it "bitcon" he'd have nailed it.
Not in the United States mainstream media (CNN, broadcast networks, etc) and that's what matters since the US was really the only major player that cared at all about the Ukrainian invasion.
Distract the American people, and Russia knows that it can do anything it wants.
Maskirovka.
...how this airliner is deflecting discussion from Russia, the Ukraine, and the Crimea.
Just sayin'....
