We're too lazy to spend the energy to enable even more laziness.

Welcome to Mini Cooper a la 2006.
The rule of law is, at its core, a way to protect one party's rights against the actions of another party. Government is the messy system we have devised to enforce said rules. This is clearly a case where one party's reasonable expectation of privacy is violated by the actions of another party. In particular, consider homemade sex videos made by a couple which are later distributed by an angry ex. Law or no law, people are going to sue.
This sort of "revenge porn" apparently happens often enough with current technology that citizens have started to use their democratic powers to push for laws indicating what behavior is a violation of others rights with regard to sexual images. Fortunately, as a democracy, we are a government of the people, which is why "government is sticking its[sic] nose into business like this."
As you have pointed out, extenuating circumstances may exist which make the law subject to interpretation. Guilt may be difficult to determine. That's not a new problem - all law is subject to interpretation. Property lines, who punched who first, etc. It's all a mess which fails algorithmic decomposition. Fortunately there are courts specifically designed to handle this sort of thing.
Just make sure to get it insured. The "I Can Go Potty Myself" app frequently crashes the whole phone... Into the toilet.

"[O ]" - A box running the gaming OS?
"O + O" - A gaming network?
I live in Georgia and I don't get paid for unused vacation when I leave a job. When I lived in California, I did get paid for unused vacation time when I left a job.

Look for the following wording which applies in several states, including Georgia:
"An employer may lawfully establish a policy or enter into a contract denying employees payment for accrued vacation leave upon separation from employment."
The money, to be donated by big corporations, would go to the first organization that delivers a live human from Los Angeles to San Francisco
So what do I get for delivering a dead human?
In the USA vacation time is an earned benefit for a regular employee, short of bankruptcy they can't stiff you.
This is the stuff of state laws. Many states allow "use it or lose it" vacation time accrual policies in employment contracts.
> The problem is that most phone vendors (basically all except Google) never update the Android system after the phone is released.
Even Google doesn't keep Android up to date on older devices. The once-flagship Nexus One, introduced in 2010, only got official updates for about a year, taking it from version 2.1 to 2.3.6.

There is growing evidence that the dogma of taking all your antibiotics is mistaken. Or at least oversimplified. The theory is essentially that antibiotics kill off healthy flora while leaving antibiotic-resistant microbes to thrive and conquer.
