Please, this is Apple we are talking about. I recall the first iPod touch was broken down, cost Apple $142 but they sold it for $500. That is a much larger mark up than the 30 cents you listed. That $1 song likely cost them 15 cents to the artist, 25 cents to the labels and 10 cents to BMG. If that.

Interesting... What about all the Open SSL or SSH issues that happened this year, which in many cases were default as part of Linux servers???
Regardless of OS, poor testing of third party apps / services or poor security as part of your deployment, can cause you to be violated. I have seen many Linux server still using Telnet or VNC for management, and allowing ROOT to login directly to them....
Secure your environment regardless of what you run......

I'm sorry, but are you saying that you do not want people to have Wisdom, when running this country? Experience makes you wiser. Reading a book only gives you the writer's opinion. Reading a wood working magazine may show you the 10 steps to build a cabinet, but that does not mean you can tell a master cabinet maker that they are doing it wrong because you read a book.... That's what we have by Congress telling Security personnel how to secure the network and data with all the regs like FISMA and such. Thanks for the input, but allow the people with the Wisdom to do their job....

Sorta correct. They have to abide by many federal standards though, including Federal Holidays and things such as FISMA. I believe that they are also classified as government workers, or at least there were back in the 90's when my family worked for them. (They used to hire Marines and Army people as they left service and they got their government pension.)

Education does not make you smart. It just means you can memorize a lot of things. Using that knowledge is where WISDOM comes in. We need Wise people in congress to make the laws. Ones who have experienced things from the beginning. Getting a CISSP when you have only done account management does not make you an expert on physical security, compliance or legal issues around security.... Experience does. How many new managers have you met, that can barely manage themselves???

Clearly you do not come to slashdot often. 90% of the comments are mindless and / or drivel. Even so, they typically get modded as insightful.... Regardless you must not understand that "Redundant" means that the same thing has already occurred, so unless you live in the Matrix, my point was valid and someone else was mistaken. Ah, but you posted as an AC, so who cares.

LOL, I got modded Redundant, in an original post I made. Someone does not know how to read time stamps. Oh well. (Likely it was an Apply fan boy who could not handle an iJoke)....
