The governor of California is going to call Trump’s bluff by ignoring the federal tariff and negotiate directly with other countries on tariffs. Seems like a decent strategy considering that the Trump tariffs are entirely dependent on the claim that the national debt has created a national emergency that gives the president the power to levy tariffs. In other words, the White House is likely violating the law and California is going to respond in kind.

I question that. States Rights are one thing, but international trade, including treaties and tariffs are federal jurisdiction. I question if Cal can just go their own way, refuse to take part and negotiate their own agreements. That would be a Constitutional Law question, but it’s my impression that won’t stand scrutiny. 

Good points, but Trump is doing exactly the same thing violating lots of laws in his government cutbacks. So why shouldn’t the California government go ahead and do what it wants here? Maybe if everyone is a scofflaw, it will be time to enforce all the laws again.

I don't know what that means. All I've ever heard as reasons to remove stock Apps is:

1) Free up space
2) Because I own the device and should be able to.

And to both points I say, GTFO. The stock Apps take up negligible space, and no you don't own the OS or any of the software on the device. You may think you own the metal and glass brick around it, and if your device is paid off maybe you do, but that is it. You are not entitled to a goddamn thing.

Don't know why your comment brings such a smile to my lips, but I fully agree. I've moved the first party apps that I don't normally use to a couple of folders and am perfectly happy. If for any reason I want to check one out, I can find it. Not sure how one will eventually be able to hide some apps, then un-hide them if you change your mind. The "problem" of not being able to completely remove first-party apps ranks way below my level of concern. 

I just checked the Apple site and for iPhone 5s they mention a 12 megapixel camera with 4K capability. Looks like the refresh is now.
