When asked if Apple could been located elsewhere:

"Apple is headquarter-centric....maybe it could have been in Boston, but Steve's feet would get cold when he walked around."

Regarding crapware preinstalled on computers:

"Apple doesn't insult it's customers in the first ten minutes with its product."

There is a reason it's called crapware.

>Can we just skip the debate over the definition of stealing?

Sure. But can we all agree developers are free to choose how they license their work?

>the Bill of Rights has been deprecated.

Things aren't so black and white. You could argue that we should be allowed to yell fire in a crowded building, but most people agree that should be discouraged.

As for all information should be free, obviously you would have an exception to restrict the flow of your private information. And then what is considered private...

Are there petitions for poverty and healthcare somewhere?
If the country you are in agrees.
Shouldn't he have had his lawyers protest the delay so he can be quickly exonerated by his overwhelming innocence.
"Prosecutors and Dotcom’s lawyers agreed to the delay" - Washington Post

Looks like his lawyers sold him out.

Are there programmers and graphic designers that are City employees?
I believe that Retina display devices are too hard to disassemble to qualify for the program.
>insurance policy...CL's complicity

What are you talking about? I can't parse this gibberish. I know you feel CL has no rights to their own site, but what the hell are they complicit in? The further you go down this road the more time you waste.

Isn't PadLister a direct competitor? CL is right to tell you piss off. No one is falling for this "man of the people" crap, it just makes you look dumb. Sorry to be harsh but you seem to be deceiving yourself, why not start a legitimate business?

> building any company is a charitable act

This is a Randian and ultimately vapid definition of charity. I am all for capitalism but let's not get crazy.

Edit: Capitalism is the opposite of charity because you earn your keep. This is always preferable for both parties IMO.

What thesis one purports is inconsequential to the freedom of ideas. It stands on its merit or it doesn't. No need for bureaucratic intervention. Down with the idea police.
Or sending a racist tweet from the pub after a match. When does he get out? Maybe Europe needs a constitution.
"hurting religious feelings" is an arrestable offense. Ouch. I think the western nations often underestimate their own freedoms.

The 99% occupiers are a form of cargo cult. Sans a clearly defined specific goal it resembles pantomime. Soak the rich is not sufficient.

And a full size video camera. I've been issued temporary press passes at a Republican fundraiser by signing out a professional grade camera at the local cable company (after a four hour course), telling security we were with CCTV (they didn't blink), and CNN let us use some of their lights!
