I only said 10%, not 70% or any of the other high numbers in the July 2014 trend micro report.

This only works if the exploit isn't hidden in some way.
If "Verify Apps" worked as good as some claim, 10% of the Google Play store wouldn't be malware. It'd be a much, much smaller number.
String theory is math, not science.
That last thing means that if someone goes on a campaign to smear someone's name deliberately and starts digging up any information that can be found and recklessly publishing it without checking it out, it could be considered libelous, even if true.
Reckless disregard would mean you don't care if they statements are facts or not. And that by putting false information in with facts, you want to mislead the reader/listener. If all items were fact, then a compilation of all items would still be truth and is an absolute defense (in the US). As soon as you make (knowingly) false statements that a reasonable person would believe, only then can the defamed begin to have a case (in the US).
The important part is "a reasonable person would believe them true".
The US has the strongest free speech laws in the land when it comes to defamation. (Because in order to protect the right to dissent, you must protect the right to criticize).
"Public Interest" . . . I once sat on a jury on a libel case, in which a financier was suing the Wall Street Journal for having said defamatory things about him. The judge instructed us very clearly that truth is not an absolute defense; that is, even if every single thing in the article was provably true, it would still count as libel if it was (for example) just rehashing old information to defame the financier as he tried to start up a new operation.
What country was this? In the US, truth is most absolutely an absolute defense in defamation cases.
Just look at all the people ticketed for not wearing their seat belt every year. You don't think they'd buy a car without one if it were available?
We had those. People died.
I would suggest everyone get the shingles vaccine, because I got it when I was 40, and it was not a fun ride.
I beat you! I got it when I was 29! Shingles sucks! Get the chickenpox vaccine! (The vaccine is an extremely small amount of live herpes virus designed to spur the immune system--there's effectively not enough of the live virus to create a foothold situation. The shingles vaccine is a much larger dose of the chickenpox virus.)
AIDS has a cure. HIV does not (have a workable cure yet, hell, the way to eradicate HIV might be a vaccine, like HPV.)
Why would regulators care at all about this deal? Twitch isn't a public company.
No, RMS does not want alternatives to exist.
I have taken measures to prevent proprietary extended versions of GCC from existing. If they don't exist, people don't fall prey to them.

If Firefox did not support DRM directly, the content providers would offer a custom (closed source) tool that did..
That's why flash and silverlight continue to exist now (even though MS abandoned Silverlight)
You cannot mount the disk without the encryption key.
What does the author of TFA want? Double-encryption of message attachments? The storage of the iPhone is always encrypted. In order to access any files, you must supply the encryption key. He supplied the key and could read the files.
Unless he wants attachments double encrypted or encrypted on iCloud itself?
Thanks for finding the reference for my comment.
Amazon, using its monopoly power in ebooks, kept prices artificially low. When Apple entered the market, Amazon lost some of its monopoly power and publishers used this event to increase eBook prices across the board.
