...because your gratuitous use of "tantrum" is just bait. We don't know anything more than an addendum was filed and you add "tantrum". This is not only how rumors get started, but how you can falsely gain the label of 'idiot".

The poster says he was contacted by someone who says he is the hacker. Nothing was confirmed about AppleCare involvement, though it is a possibility - especially if the hacker knows his victim. But the best part? The INSANE posts to the original article: Death threats from "Navy Seals", tons of homophobic comments and hatred for days. Oddly, very few were able to respond directly to the original post since the comments were so ridiculously incendiary. Sadly the adage still applies:Think before you post or you are toast!

I have a concern about this, but can't address it because of the hypocrisy: Odd to have the government so deeply concerned about invasion of privacy when they have implimented numerous policies that greatly curtail it. Now if Chuck were interested in pointing fingers at both groups, we might have something...

... then you create a legal scam to charge for everything else. Let's not congratulate this by being silent.

...because if they did, they might remember a little incident of assisting the chinese government with its great firewall. And those pesky others? Coincidentally competitors. For a company with such deep search capabilities, they are amazingly blind sighted when it concerns themselves.

How we react to this should be independent of our feelings about Stratfor. I recall a breaking at a a certain hotel Watergate which upon discovery, had drastic consequences for its perpetrators . Why should we stop to congratulate these guys for breaking in any organization?

Thanks for it all. You will be missed and remembered. Blessings to your family.

Yep, without clear guidelines we only have warm fuzzy 'good intentions". Those don't show on a resume. Nor does an extended indentured servitude. There are possible good perks here, but the practice of it outweighs them. Anyone here have similar experiences with grad school? Med rotations? Let the intern beware...

I have little interest in Blu-Ray. Not because it can hold more or that the picture is better, but because the movie companies are trying to sell me the same thing again at a higher price. Their larger capacity is irrelevant- if a movie only needs a portion of it, I care little for directors and actors talking over the movie, and while extra scenes can be fun, they are not worth the extra dost. Take a look at the media ecosystem; they fianlly get on board with an 'approved' means of delivery then gradually abandon all others. This forces people to buy the same things at increasingly higher prices. Look at VHS, laserdiscs and cassettes. Blu-Ray? Maybe for Avatar, but never for "To Have And Have Not".

...faith, however essential to your psychological well being, is not. That Fenyman stated he din't know all about a subject is normal- even Einstein said that we really don't know all it takes to get water down a garden hose. But allowing such statements to be tantamount to faith is to, ironically, take them at face value or on faith. Pause, ask a few relevant questions. Have an hypothesis in mind. Test. Verify. So starts the scientific method. Do whatever you need for your faith, just don't confuse it with science.

It can also be argued that Amazon can offer its often much lower pricing because of lack of sales tax. If you make people in any state pay taxes its regressive and yet....Amazon caused a lot of book stores and such to go out of business- I'm certain not only is that the greater loss but it was nigh impossible to compete with since any local store has to pay local taxes.

Uhm, a RUMORS site implies something about a job posting at Apple and this becomes 'Apple hints'? Does anybody question what they read anymore? Also, the kind of payment system they are imagining being worked on isn't even mentioned! "What is the air speed of an unladen swallow?" Got whisked away- thought so.
