That some of the exploits they decided to hang onto, were actually malware code samples that would allow them to attribute attacks to foreign governments. When in fact they had nothing do to with said attack. In addition to this, they appear to have held onto exploits for vehicle control systems, that would allow them to ASSASSINATE people without detection. This is CERTAINLY NOT what they were hired to do. Not by any of the US citizens/agents that I know anyway. These are EXPOSED Black Ops Projects, by any other definition. Its time that someone unbiased investigated the CIA/NSA... They clearly are into some things they shouldn't be. Things that are CLEARLY ILLEGAL...

It's worse than that. These TVs don't just end up there, they're actively marketed at these places because they can install various video conferencing apps and avoid the need to have a separate computer to control the video conferencing system.

That's not really the question. Steve Jobs was demonstrably worth hundreds of billions of dollars to Apple's shareholders.

The real question is "why do these executives continue to get incredible salaries when they demonstrably do nothing for the company?"

The issue is that they're being paid as if they're founders when, in fact, they're simply running a ship that someone else built and set out to sea. It's not the same job and nowhere near as difficult. Jobs took a company that was nearly bankrupt and turned it into the world's most valuable company. Unless Cook seriously steps up his game he either needs to be paid $100K/year for the job he's doing or replaced. If he's not replaced soon, Apple will likely be irreparably harmed.

Thin will be in until he's removed as CEO. HP made their laptop 1.8mm thicker for a third more battery life in order to drive their 17" 4K monitor. Apple needs to do the same.

The fact that Apple significantly reduced the capacity of the batteries in the 2016 models just to make them thinner says volumes about the design choices going on behind the scenes. It's all part and parcel with the removal of the MagSafe connectors, the removal of all ports except USB-C. The people who are deciding how a "professional" laptop should be designed are clearly not using a laptop in a professional capacity.

People in Africa were already slaves; they were made slaves by black people.

The first legally recognized owner of slaves, under common law, in what would become the United States was Anthony Johnson, a black man.

Until Anthony Johnson, white people purchased African slaves and treated them instead as indentured servants, who would become freed men with their own land after a certain number of years of service; white men, such as the Irish, were also indentured servants in this way. White people were the last ones into the slave trade, and white people were then the ones who ultimately ended slavery.

So, yes. There was slavery, but you never get taught the whole story.

The evidence that the Holocaust happened is overwhelming. You might as well question whether slavery really existed or whether people from Africa voluntarily came to America, worked on plantations of their own volition, and were actually well-paid for their efforts. It's easy to raise the latter as a "theory", but all historical evidence runs counter to it and the only people who would accept it (or "The Holocaust never actually happened") are racists, neo-nazis and the like.

And yet the evangelists hesitate to bring any proof of this documentation.

It's almost like their outrage at skepticism was designed to prevent too many rational people from contemplating the evidence.

People like to have things dragged down to their level. But this is utter insanity; you can't demonize people, ;et alone those who are closely related to you, without thoroughly investigating the matter for yourself. You have to serve justice to your fellow man, you have to do due diligence to investigate your own character, and you need to be informed to deal with politics.

But all of this turns out to be too much work for people who have all their physical needs taken care of and nothing at all to do really. They would rather be entertained than to think about anything "yucky".

Were things so bad as this before the war? What really were the sides? Did another kind of Nazi win despite Germany's fall?

If "seizure-inducing" speech is prosecutable now, we better all become "seizure-inducing haters", before the First Amendment is dead and buried.

They could not quite get at it with "hate speech" bans, they are attacking it with "seizures" now...

This is typical of our 'everyone is a victim', 'everyone gets a participation trophy' society. Nobody takes personal responsibility anymore for anything. It's symptomatic of the collapse of the USA as a former world power.

Verizon is buying Yahoo. Who would be left to assume responsibility? The shareholders?

> You also have yet to prove why 2C (current prediction) of potential warming does anything except bring unprecedented prosperity to humanity.

The 6 meters of sea-level rise that will eventually happen as a consequence of 2C in temperature increase will put major parts of coastal areas underwater.

I had the same question as the OP. That line, "More than 95% of PowerShell scripts analysed by Symantec researchers have been found to be malicious," is a direct quote from the article, which provides no context. I'm assuming the author meant 95% of malware that had PowerShell... no even that doesn't make sense. I don't think the story is credible.

The new studies that show new, ominous sounding but nebulous effect of Marijuana use are beginning to appear. They always appear whenever Marijuana laws are being relaxed. The same thing happened in the UK a few years back when the police said they would no longer actively pursue arrests of Marijuana users. These studies are to be ignored. Legalization and governmental control of who can purchase and grow Marijuana are both enlightened and necessary to move forward. The anti-drug laws and their deleterious effects on individuals and society must first be eliminated before their past effects can be reversed. Legalize and then empty the prisons of those jailed exclusively for possession, use, and sale of Marijuana. Make it illegal for companies to test and discipline/fire their employees for substances found that have been confiscated from their employees' bodily fluids. This needs to be the real deal, otherwise it will be reversed in a heartbeat.
