It means that the DA and Jobs are buddies. Simple as that.

It's not bias when an organization that believes bloggers are journalists makes a statement that it believes bloggers are journalists.

That's interesting, but I don't think that's what positr0n was describing. The Washington Post reporter describes Gawker's work repeatedly as journalism. Even the photograph captio…

How's that a conflict of interest? It's valid context, but in what ways are EFF obligations in conflict?

Do you have any sort of specific criteria for what is considered a journalist? It seems like the discussion here tends to equate journalists with reporters and then speculate to wh…

I think a bigger question is whether the warrant would have been issued/executed against his home if he didn't work from home. Somehow I doubt the DA would have had the balls to ra…

This same old tripe again. Did Gizmodo return the phone to Apple immediately when Apple finally admitted it was theirs? Did Gizmodo demand payment from Apple in return for the phon…

Are you talking about trade secrets or theft? Gizmodo never disputed that the phone was Apple's property and they returned it to Apple as soon as Apple claimed it. If Gizmodo physi…

The question is the difference in public response at the two cases. Just FYI for the ESLs and reading-comprehension-impaired.

If you lose your wallet and assume that credit card numbers are not compromised you're an idiot. Are you saying Gizmodo refused to return the phone to Apple claiming it was now the…

So, how exactly is it necessary to test the phone while the user is inebriated with access to the public? They couldn't host a private party for that? Test it at workers houses? Wh…

If these secrets are so valuable maybe Apple should rethink its policy of letting them walk out the door to go to a bar.

If Apple is claiming trade secret protection, they need to demonstrate that they attempted to protect the secret. Apple authorized taking the phone into the public. These "secrets"…

If a company can't keep its own secrets it should be their problem. We give protections to patents and copyrights for a reason.

...and here I was thinking about X11 authority. Silly me.

Not to mention that Apple had just burned Adobe with the whole ditching Copland fiasco. I'm sure Adobe was thinking, "Oh, sure yet another framework from Apple." Also, remember at …

Don't you usually pay more for the "professional" cameras or the "professional" phones. Apple seems to play it the other way. Charging more for the dumber hardware.

Are you saying they are supposed to leave the baby attached to the placenta while the afterbirth is delivered? I would imagine that remaining attached to the afterbirth as it is de…

And yet: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34149853/

After the cord is clamped, how is the blood on the other side expected to get into the baby?

The problem with He is also why it's so useful--it doesn't react with anything. It's a bitch to filter because the only strategy you have is to get rid of everything else.

How does anyone decide to trust mint.com? It gives me the security hebbie-jebbies and all their claims of security assurances make the jebbies worse. They're still storing accounts…

Well, they do have hardware to seize a running server without shutting it down (by splicing into the power cables/power lines at the wall plate and introducing battery power). How …
