> In the UK they also have laws against false advertising

We do, and actually we have laws prohibiting advertising for prescription drugs entirely. None of that ask your doctor to prescribe x bollocks here.

If you actually read the article itâ(TM)s clear that they have no actual information to base it on. It basically boils down to âif apple have done zero research and preparation about how to certify this and so are starting from scratch right now, today, it could take a long timeâ(TM), which may be true but itâ(TM)s a rather implausible scenario.

How topical. Do you have any material on the millennium bug you want to share?

In the context of this discussion Apple aren't getting rid of the headphone jack - it's the only connector the new MBP does have aside from USBC.

What the fuck is this? Seriously? What. The. Fuck. Taco must be turning in his grave/money pit at what the various owners of Slashdot have done to it since he sold it on.

There is more chance of selecting employees through gladiatorial combat trials than there is of using genetic profiling for this purpose anywhere in the EU.

I feel confident that if the defendant had had a competent expert to rebut the Malibu phony experts, defendant would have won.

The real story is that defendant didn't have his own expert to counter Patzer's BS

Apple won't fix a widespread problem even if it is just a firmware update for them, so don't count on a solution

Well, just as a counterpoint to this, I had a problem with my 3+ year old Macbook pro retina where the screen just died one day. It was well out of warranty (I never bought any extended cover). I bit of googling found this (https://www.apple.com/uk/support/macbookpro-videoissues/) which says that Apple was aware there was a problem with some of the display controllers in the model I have. I took it in to my local Apple store, and 24 hours later they had replaced the display controller and I had the laptop back working perfectly. That's a repair that would have cost £3-500 (I can't remember what it was, but it was in that range).

I've also previously had an iphone which just stopped doing wifi one day and they replaced that on the spot in the apple store. One icloud restore later and the phone was good as new. I think that one might have been less than a year old though, so perhaps less impressive in terms of customer service.

Actually whoever the new guy is, I don't find the site to be "improved" at all; seems a little crummy. The story was butchered and incorrectly interpreted, and the all important software for interaction seems less interactive.

But what do I know?

As to my absence I've been a bit overwhelmed by work stuff, sorry about that, it's no excuse :)

The story as published implies that the ruling overruled the lower court on the 3 issues. In fact, it was agreeing with the trial court on the third issue -- that the sporadic instances of Vimeo employees making light of copyright law did not amount to adopting a "policy of willful blindness".

You read the bit where he stabbed a guy 4 times with a samurai sword, right? I know in Texas that sort of thing is fine, but in the UK that's not considered self defence.

Also, that article is from 11 years ago, can you not find a more relevant example? We've had 2 (semi) different governments since then.

Thank you for so astutely reading that thread; I thought maybe I was losing my mind :) I keep disagreeing with him, and he keeps saying we're on the same page :)
