So take away legal fiction “1st amendment protections” for corporations, if they pull these stunts!  We The People are the masters, not faceless corporate.  

Governments also should never sell our data without opt-in.

That’s a road you don’t want to go down. If they can take it away from corporations, they can take it away from you. We need to look into other ways to stop them from doing it, or only support companies that don’t.

I bet Sprints argument was “we’re such a poorly run company, if we don’t merge we’ll go bankrupt”. So, here’s no reduced competition because there’d be one less carrier anyways.

That’s exactly what the judge said in his ruling actually.

You guys are pathetic.  Apple cut performance by more than 50% and didn't bother telling anyone, and yet in Apple stores customers were told their batteries were fine, even refusing to provide paid replacements, and were encouraged to purchase new phones.  This is fraud, and the prosecutor's conclusion is uncontested by Apple.  You can love their products, as I do, without wearing blinders.

You're completely clueless, and wrong.

And even if they had, that is the engineers prerogative, not yours, and you're not entitled to any specific performance at any time.

The only thing Apple did wrong was letting idiot Tim Cook acknowledge it, and apologize for it, and attempt appeasement.

I love it when someone uses logic and facts to state their position and all you have to come back with is “no, you’re clueless!” Good comeback, bro. 

This is great, but doesn’t solve the root problem of why housing is so expensive there which is insane California regulations and having to pay a mob of state inspectors.

Basically, we are back to TV channels. But instead of networks we have streamers. And, we have to pay separately for each one. Soon, someone will come along and be the new “cable,” selling packages of channels/streamers for a single price. The more things change the more they stay the same. 

The main difference between streaming and cable as I see it is it’s a lot easier to cancel and go with someone else making competition so much better. If there’s a series you like on Netflix, then subscribe, binge watch it, and cancel until next season. These streaming companies are going to have to get creative to retain subscribers. Amazon nailed it to include it with their free shipping service for instance.
