You don't seem to understand the problem. All occidental democracies (let's say western Europe and the USA but that's restrictive) have a web of laws that is sufficiently complex and dense that virtually anyone is breaking at least a dozen. In that sense, the government can get down to any citizen and imprison them for probably a long time. Fortunately, our rulers aren't that long-teethed just yet. But it's getting worse at every election. Every one. Year after year, you lose a little more fundamental rights. And you see nothing because the erosion of those rights is pretty small each year.

But if you say nothing, in 50 or 100 years, some crappy dictator will get there and you (or your descendants but it will be your fault) will not be able to fight anymore, because of all that crap you didn't fight for while you had the chance.

Read this if you need more explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F......

The definition of hacking, the legal one, in many places at least in europe is defined pretty much as the following: Being somewhere you're not supposed to, while knowing you're not supposed to, and then snooping around instead of just leaving. I guess it's the digital alternative of 'breaking and entering'. Just because you found a post-it with the lock of the front door on the ground, it doesn't make it right to go in. Common sense should kick in at some point, so if you do it anyways, justice assumes common sense did kick in and you entered willfully. THAT makes it illegal.

That's pretty much common sense.

I'm actually surprised they're not yet in jail...

You realize I'm not the GGP and that I didn't take sides, right? I don't have a theory.

If I close my eyes, I can actually see pink bunnies running in a field of lily flowers. So peaceul. If only I could keep them shut.

In a story as touchy as Snowden's, nothing is as simple as you make it out to be. Not your theory, not the GP's theory. There are probably thousands of strings being pulled as we converse on the subject, and we have no idea.

It is already too late. Look at Snowden: he revealed everything to the sunlight, and nobody cares. It's gone. NSA is here to stay with all their crap.

Who is going to stop you? The authors are anonymous so who could claim to be the copyright holder to come and stop you?

Voldemort? Already?

Interesting that Amazon still has a marketplace seller still selling those at a price almost equal to the iPad 4... Oh well.

On another topic, nice troll you have going there. Don't let me stop you.

I know, I am. And yes, android is much better than iOS on all aspects. For sure. I mean, come on, it has more lines of code.

I honestly could not care less about the number of cores of the microprocessor. Sure, the more the merrier, but again, the more the hungrier. You could stuff 128 cores in there that the machine wouldn't go 1ms faster for pretty much all tasks. What would be useful here would be a benchmark of this CPU with the iPad 3 CPU (which is clocked higher btw). Of course, all benchmarks are biaised, but still, that would give a few pointers for comparing both CPUs. I'm sure you're the guy that says the latest CANON camera is superior to competitor X because it haz moar pixels. Hint: it's not true. Another hint: 4 cores ain't necessarily better than two.

microSD slot is definitely a plus. I'll count that as one.

The OS is at worst a matter of taste, not a clear cut superiority.

And last, I don't know where you can find a new iPad3 these days, so I find it hard on your part to compare the new HP tablet to an old iPad model... The one sold by Apple is the iPad 4, which has an even higher clock rate.

infinite mpg looks suspicious so far. Give it time.

Please name "several important ways" in which this crap out-specs the iPad3? Are there more than the important ways than those for which the iPad3 out-specs the HP one?

I can tell you one thing: When gmail was released, it was the *fastest* webmail out there, bar none, especially on a slow network connection. So no, javascript doesn't mean high bandwidth, and I most certainly don't think that Google has that blindspot.
