Psystar Case Reveals Poor Email Archiving At Apple 123

Posted by timothy from the let-me-check-the-round-file dept.
Ian Lamont writes "Buried in the court filings of the recently concluded Psystar antitrust suit against Apple is a document that discussed Apple's corporate policy regarding employee email. Apparently, Apple has no company-wide policy for archiving, saving, or deleting email. This could potentially run afoul of e-discovery requirements, which have tripped up other companies that have been unable to produce emails and other electronic files in court. A lawyer quoted in the article (but not involved in the case) called Apple's retention policy 'negligent.' However, the issue did not help Psystar's lawsuit against Apple — a judge dismissed the case earlier this week."

"No system can do that, which is why democracy is important: democracy works by making throwing out bad leaders easier."

True enough, but when you have a system that gives you effectively only 2 to choose from, then you're not making it easy for democracy.

"It's not that difficult to make an enemy FPS "bot" have superb tactics, coordination, timing etc. Especially if the map is pre-known (which is usually the case). You can code the tactics and heuristics in. If you hear the player in position X, group A enemies head to position Y and group B head to position Z, and bye bye player."

I'd say the holy grail is to have the AI without pre-knowing the maps, and without having to hand-code the small details.
