Comment Rise of the Corporations? (Score 1) 115

It would certainly provide a simple & effective (if costly/expensive) solution to the issue for the big Orgs (eg Apple, Google, etc).

If Apple & Google were to stop selling all of their tech products in the UK, and add a disclaimer to anyone buying their equipment that it is not legal to purchase it in the UK, then I suspect the outcry would be heard on Pluto :P

If ALL of the tech companies that support encryption did this, the UK would quickly find itself sliding into tech oblivion, if it didn't change it's stance. They can't force companies to do business within their territory. This would be an interesting move by the tech companies as well, in forcing a first world power to alter it's legal position, simply by refusing to do business with them. Reminds me of ... just a few movies :P

Yup, I have one of those add-ons for Firefox, and do use it from time to time. However, having to switch / test UA strings is almost as bad as having to load and test with different browsers. It still requires that you change UA / reload / change UA / reload / etc, until you're sure you've discovered the best price.

I'd rather they just offer the same price across all browsers, like normal businesses :P
