Do something about it, personally. You can even do it tonight! Turn off the TV. I did over a decade ago and haven't regretted it since!

Is the practice of paying others to write reviews of your app banned? Is paying them to write only 5 star reviews banned? My thoughts are that if this practice isn't specifically banned, how can you just knock a developer completely out? Maybe a warning and removal of all "paid" comments would be better and then if they continued doing it, then ban them? This one strike rule is highly confrontational in nearly all places. It doesn't do justice to humanity: to err is human. If you don't fix your erring ways, then i can understand such force against that one individual. (things like illegal downloads, and turning off the internet b/c of it is highly problematic for many reasons. One is that it restricts the family members or others in the place as well who haven't done anything). Regardless, requiring one to be non-human is very degrading.

And I thought a PC had 1/4 of a processor (at least the way Windows runs on it)

Except when third party twitter apps expose your private tweets to your public stream... or that twitter then has a detailed account of your money.

If functions can now be data passed around as variables, doesn't this reduce the security of an application? Granted, you don't need to use blocks but i can envision a future world where internet server software is written heavily in blocks. What if a block makes it's way into the system from the outside world? Its the same thing as a code injection hack but this technology could potentially make it much more simple to do that. Yet another security concern.

Given the new-ness of the technology it seems like some of these security issues need to be worked out... patterns developed and such.

This technology strikes me as a solution for user experience issues and not bullet proofed for server solutions. I may be wrong.

When they say that you need to hand it over, couldn't you give them the encryption the encryption key with a second key? Then when they ask for THAT key, you encryt that second key with a third key. etc etc. Could this postpone giving them any info ever at all?

IOW. Does the law say anything about the format of the encryption key?
