Apple accused of abusing DMCA in removal of online posts detailing iPhone hacks
Did the 'professional' tech media actually verify that Apple had actually sent the DMCA?
Quoting from this jailbreaker on Twitter:@axi0mX Reddit finally sent the full DMCA takedown notice to @qwertyoruiopzWe reviewed it and confirmed that it was someone impersonating Apple. It was not sent from their law firm, which is Kilpatrick Townsend. There are issues with grammar and spelling.Update: The DMCA takedown that took the checka1n post down is fake. -

'Tim Cook for President' and other tawdry campaigns from Qualcomm's PR bulldog
Really? Numerous non-conservative news or non-political tech sources reported that Apple was using 'slower' or 'inferior' Intel modems due to their dispute with Qualcomm. Apple 'bowing' to China's censorship policies was covered in a wide range of media including the New York Times and The Guardian. The Slate reported that "Apple and Amazon are helping China censor the Internet"; don't recall them being a bastion of right-wing thought. As for the draft Tim Cook 2020 propaganda, it's easy to see why people might swallow it because unlike Steve Jobs, Cook is not shy to push his social-political beliefs under the company banner. Don't doubt that Qualcomm might try to fan anti-Apple flames but fair or not, there's plenty of criticism of Apple, political or not. -
