The US should think and act the same way: activities, companies and individuals outside the borders of the US are not subject to US laws. America is not the world's police force, as much as it likes to think it is. Mind your own business, and the rest of the world should do the same.

...but since it's Apple, one of the richest companies on the planet, I'm almost (but not quite) indifferent. The only thing that stops me cheering for these criminals, is it will embolden them to strike others.

When you celebrate stupidity, deliberately disable the department of education, and deport the foreigners who were educated in a country that does value education and intelligence, this is what happens. Decades in the making.

Facebook's, Twitter's and Apple's online ad platforms feel underappreciated by the Justice Department I think.

...then see how Winnie the Pooh likes Article 5 shoved up his @ss.

Looks consistent with Samsung design. No story here.

I just can't take anything named "Bing" seriously. Google is also a stupid name, but it sort of means something (googolplex) and it's been around so long I'm used to it.

Poop and potatoes (plus ketchup and vicodin) are all you need on Mars. Oh, plus a lot of water.

I'm sure we've all see the YouTube videos of how police in the US choose "de-escalation tactics" over "respect my authority" and "stop resisting". Now that this is established in one police force, I expect this will spread across the nation. Also when an innocent person is killed by a robot, and it will happen sooner or later, how do we get the badge # of the operator? Who will be held accountable? This is a great way for the police to be even more anonymous, and it will be abused and will escalate, because cops are cops.

That does seem crazy. Unless...some of the cast parts in "Shen" are the same as some of the cast parts in "Stan". Then, I suppose, this makes sense. And as Indian Jones once said. "That belongs in a museum!"

I'm sure there are more than a few extra million that mysteriously found its way to a few key Italians to make the ruling stick to Google and let Apple appeal.

...even when turned off in settings. https://mashable.com/article/a... Apple simply tracks user behaviour themselves to boost their own advertising platform. Just like Google. And, just like Google, they aren't doing what they say they are doing when it comes to user privacy. TL/DR: Apple is just another megacorp who will do anything it thinks it can get away with to make money.

They should start by not doing a deal with the devil (Russia) for their oil.

You know it.

...a little disappointed, actually.
