> So they are re moving the rights of the government. Which is to be able to search you under some conditions.

They are not "removing the rights of the government" to search anybody. They still can. But the people are under no obligation to maintain their lives so as to be ready prepared for a government inspector to drop by at any time and say, "Let me take a look at your paperwork, citizen".

And the first time they take someone to court and reveal they can crack this encryption, the cat's out of the bag. Which is why they won't take someone to court if they have to reveal such a thing. Which means that, pratically speaking, in this case people are safe from worrying about the feebs getting into their iPhone.

One movie, coming up:

"Sling Blade".

You'll thank me later.

(I reckon I'll have me some of the bigguns. Ummmm hmmm.)

Well, that's swell. But it's still buggy, non-intuitive, and with tons of undocumented features.

> Last time I used iTunes you had to import new music manually.

That is still the case, with the latest version. You have to manually tell iTunes to "Add a folder" or "Add a file". You cannot tell it to simply watch a folder for new stuff. For a music manager published in the year 2104 put out by a company that builds things that "Just Work" , that is astoundingly lame.

> If you check the little box that says "let iTunes manage my music library" it does

That does not work so well when working with a 2GB shuffle (which I use in the car, since it can be used without a display and instead uses a computerized voice).

It's bugs in dealing with podcasts REQUIRE me to manually manage them. It simply will not properly download the ones I want from the cloud automatically and I am forced to micromanage them.

I'm sure the technology behind the interface is teh ossim, but it's interface really is atrocious and is enough to compel me to seek products from other manufactures once my current devices die.

If only Apple took such pride in craftsmanship with iTunes, I would agree completely.

Buggy, non-intuitive, tons of undocumented features. "It Just Works" does not apply to that steaming load.

I mean, look at Amazon. To watch the Hunger Games sequel: 14$. For one day.

You get what you pay for. It's eight bucks a month. What did you expect?

If you're not mad you're not paying attention.

The name of the country is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

It is a democracy or a republic only in name. It is in fact an absolute monarchy.

A perfect example of why a democracy was the LAST thing the founders of the country wanted. They designed it as a Republic.

The error was in the submission, which the editor quoted verbatim. Not in the editor's writing.

> Fake violence, like two guys punching it out, clearing the air and getting on with no lasting harm and no festering resentment.

A punch can bring serious injury or death. It's serious business, and the law recognizes it as such.

If someone won't stop punching you, people who carry weapons can use them in their defense.

It's cute how you completely ignore that there are people who would 100% vote FOR a person because they were a woman and/or gay. Those on the left ADORE such people. I suspect the support FOR such a person is, these days, approaching the level of the bigotry AGAINST such a person so as to cancel each other out.

Similar is the harping on the left about the racism Obama overcame to become elected, completely ignoring the racism that worked FOR Obama, who achieved about 95% of the black vote. This put him over the top... most white people did not vote for Obama (feel free to look it up), it was the fact that black people voted as a block and almost exclusively for him that the man is now president.
