Has anyone else noticed that Apple seems to be using a cat theme for their X series of MacOS?
You're just noticing this now?

Also, copying and pasting into a new message is nothing new. There were plenty of people who didn't know how to use BCC properly before Facebook, and there will be plenty who don't long after it falls into obscuriy.

Facebook isn't e-mail. I use BCC, and so do many other people; it still works just fine. Just be happy these tards can actually send an e-mail and don't need to call you for help with that.

You really think a domain suffix ties the hands of law enforcement? The servers were in Italy, the Italian police seized the servers. Not that hard to figure out.

What (I imagine) happens most of the time with intentionally leaked broken software: "Man, this DRM is so restrictive! I'm just going to pirate it!" "HEY! This game is broken! Forget this!" Result: Lost Sale
I'm pretty sure the sale was lost a step earlier when the individual consciously decided to pirate it.

Considering that I have not once downloaded a fake on TBP in the past 10 years or so that I have been using it, I think that either the "researcher" is fiddling with the numbers or has no idea how to download something.
Speaking of fiddling with numbers, The Pirate Bay didn't exist 10 years ago.

So you want to go back to a less easy to use file browser and lose the amazing search bar from Win 7? You're probably one of those people who throws a fit if you use a new keyboard with some of the keys (say volume control) in a different location.
Try actually using Win 7 for a couple of days - you'll never want to go back.
Don't be so condescending. YOU might like it better, but that doesn't mean it is objectively better or easier for everyone. No one is trying to force their computing preferences on you, but you seem to be doing so to others. I'm using Windows 7. I don't hate it, but I'm not amazed by it. I don't fear change, but I do question change that impedes the way I prefer to use MY computer. Frankly, if you're touting the search bar as one of the major features of the operating system, you're fighting a strange battle.

Secondly, you don't NEED to search - hit windows then type what you want in the search bar and it's RIGHT THERE
That, by your own admission, would be searching.

I never said they couldn't. It just comes down to basic journalistic ethics and integrity, you know... all that rot.

Wired doesn't need to make excuses until they're legally compelled to release the information with a subpoena or a court order.
In that case, Wired doesn't need to publish information they are unable or unwilling to back up with evidence.

Not only that, but if someone steals a laptop in which the cloud IS the storage, it seems that the GP would still have people calling him hoping to get back their baby pictures and term papers.... it seems reasonable that a nefarious individual would snatch whatever might be useful or relevent to his interests and then delete everything, prompting the cloud to do the same. It solves nothing in this regard.

Facebook was developed with Open Source software.
So are a lot of other closed and proprietary systems. Facebook itself isn't open source, so that has no bearing on anything.
