Find an APK and sideload it? I can't imagine it's that hard
You can change the region of your iTunes to Canada, as long as you can find a valid address with a good postal code. Then you can download the application, no need to even add a credit card. After, you can switch your region back to the US. So yeah, I assume it's stupid people with too much money bidding on that...

A) You don't use personal computers to do corp work. If a computer is required your employer provides it. B) how were they monitoring their "private" usage? "Connecting their PCs to more powerful PCs at the office" sounds like they're RDPing in or something. If you're doing something outside of the RDP session it should not be monitorable. If you're watching youtube on company time inside your RDP session, you deserve all that's coming to you cause you're a fucking idiot.
My thoughts exactly... It's one thing for computer illiterate people to misunderstand how remote desktop works, but it boggles my mind that this would be posted on Slashdot...

The worrying thing to me is the expansion of technological waste, this'll expose the greater population to more mercury and other elements, making the health risks higher.
But yeah I'm sure genetics plays a large role in it either way... These "disorders" etc could just be varying degrees of the Human psychology, I wasn't too old when I realized people on a whole are very similiar in that sense, and I think if two people are at one end of the spectrum then with genetics it's likely that those traits will be made more apparent.
