+ a certified Helicopter Pilot salary X all the time you need to use it. This is probably cheaper in the long run... flight.

There’s a difference between swimming in the same ocean as sharks, and having a shark hanging out within a 100 yards of you. Spotting sharks in the immediate vicinity of swimmers is very useful.

This is a very wise investment and a sensible progression of their current shark strategy.

Wait, though; is that the actual doll? Or a model dressed as one? Because that’s some seriously Uncanny Valley stuff going on.

Ha! You don’t know two sh*ts about the legal system of your own country. Try getting outraged next time you get arrested for something and see how far that gets you.

“Are you a dunce?”

This is an ongoing federal criminal investigation. It has nothing at all to do with Congress.

My understanding is that this would only affect older models of phones if it got out. Anything 6 or newer would not be affected. Still a lot of phones potentially compromised if the “hack” leaked out. Though if done in Apples own labs, do they not trust their own employees to not leak it? I do support Apples stance…

And it’s cute that you don’t.

Yup. It’s the social media generation. People actually think that outrage means something in a court of law. They should try that next time they get arrested and feel like their arrest was wrongful — just get really, really angry at the judge and see how far that gets them.

Apple pushes updates to your phone routinely without your permission. It’s naive to think they can’t implement something in a matter of a week.

It’s astounding how people interpret the LAW versus how they FEEL about a matter

Passing it through before the general public knows what it’s about is actually completely irrelevant. This is a question of law. Public opinion has nothing to do with it.

Serve me peasants!

How dare he.

Birth control. He puts a lot of money into birth control.

Well it’s absurd on its face.

Questioning is fine. Claiming that Bill Gates is deliberately aiding a global conspiracy to cull the human population is ridiculous.

I didn’t say you weren’t taking it seriously. I simply said I didn’t want to engage with you on the matter (I saw your comments elsewhere and have determined you are an anti-choice troll). Those aren’t the same thing. You said I wasn’t taking it seriously, which you based on my statement that I didn’t want to argue…

Yes, if someone doesn’t want to engage with anti-choice folks, they MUST not take it seriously. Piss off.
