Dressing up a fraud as a
lawsuit does not immunize you from prosecution.

had been explained to Mr. Darl McBride!

Newspick
(3) Computer programs, in the form of firmware
or software, that enable used wireless
telephone handsets to connect to a
wireless telecommunications network, when circumvention is
initiated by the
owner of the copy of the computer program solely in order to connect to a
wireless telecommunications network and access to the network is authorized by
the operator of the
network. [emphasis added]
I guess it's
paranoia setting in if I start to wonder when the first case hits the court
because an
owner will claim the user is only licensed to use said
program under conditions
which do not allow this exemption ...

But the
government blames Megaupload for the slow pace of the proceedings. The
defendants, they say, "have challenged nearly every aspect of the New
Zealand-based warrants and extradition proceedings in a variety of courts,
including bail, the restraint of assets, the searches and seizures planned and
executed by New Zealand law enforcement." They're entitled to do so, the
government concedes. But they can hardly complain if raising every available
legal objection causes the case to drag on for years.
From what
I've heard, the government did bungle many of the aspects the defendants are
challenging. Given this reality, the government's statement above is therefore
a claim that they have the right to deny anyone their Constitutional rights.
All the government need do is start violating the person's rights early on in
the process. If the person complains about these violations then the government
can detain them indefinitely and blame it on the person complaining. If the
person complains, their rights are violated and if they don't complain their
rights are violated. What a country!

"Our goal is to generate as much Windows
Phone 8 excitement as
possible to attract new customers when
phones go on sale. This is one of many
steps we're taking to
help give you what you (and we) want
most."
I'm so excited I could wet myself - not!
In
fact, I am underwhelmed. The "secrecy" is to hide the
fact that the phone is
just not ready yet. They are
undoubtedly having problems with it like they had
trying to
get Vista out the door. Secrecy makes no sence when you are
so far
behind in the market, because above all else, you
want lots of apps. If the
vast majority of developers don't
get the SDK until launch day, it is launching
without the
vast majority of apps.
It is so obvious it's pathetic how
much Microsoft is
trying to imitate Apple. It's stupid - there is only one
Apple. Nobody is suddenly going to think Microsoft is
"cool". What next, we
are going to see Steve Ballmer in a
turtle neck? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

And actual climatologists sigh, since the "record" didn't start with
the invention of the mercury thermometer.
Historically - properly historically - we're in a global cool period. Actually,
we're in an interglacial stage of an ice age.

Interesting
article.
One particular statement has me quite
curious:
A-la Apple, consumers will have no choice but to use
Microsoft own services when using a Microsoft mobile device and competition
authorities will be powerless to prevent it.
Question to the
FTC:
Give that you apparently have power to question Google's "forcing a
search engine" when people - like myself - easily recognize we have the very
easy choice to make a change and use a different search engine:
How do
you feel about the claim that Microsoft is going to deliberately lock consumers
in to Microsoft's services and you'll be powerless to prevent it?
And a far
more important question that's been asked lately:
Why are you spending so
much more time listening to the allegations of Companies like Microsoft and
Apple with regards Google's alleged anti-competition behavior and apparently
ignoring what both Microsoft and Apple are doing so openly in the Market?
I
certainly hope that once you're done with Google, you turn your sites back to
Microsoft and Apple!
I do look positively on the in-depth examination
into Google believe it or not. So long as that examination is conducted fairly
- I'm absolutely positive Google will be found to be behaving within the Law. I
don't doubt the FTC is responding to a flood of claims. Much like the police
getting a flood of complaints that a given house is a Drug House - they have a
responsibility to respond. But somehow I think the "positive" spin being placed
on it by most news is just that: spin that comes from the anti-android crowd.
And so, I watch with positive anticipation to the actual finding that FTC
eventually presents.
