There's a quick way to stop this bill... Apple should announce the iPhone will not be sold in California Apple stores and available ONLY by the Internet. The phones will be sold from Arizona only!  That should piss off enough people to start protests from the public. Have giant banners made and slap them on those pretty glass doors at each store nice and big:

STARTTING JAN 2017 IPHONES WILL NOT BE SOLD IN CALIFORNIA - CONTACT YOUR ASSEMBY PERSON NOW!

Common sense is loosing to stupid in this case. So hit California where they can truly appreciate it ... In their wallet!

I know this is a dumb question, but . . . how do you get the watchOS beta? I've been in the public beta program since the beginning, including the current public betas of iOS 9.3 and OS X 10.11.4, but I can't for the life of me figure out the watchOS beta install.

You have to have your iPhone running 9.3 beta.  
Then click the watch app on your iPhone .  
In settings -> general (in the watch app)... you'll see the upgrade software option

Be aware that the Constitution belongs to the People of this country and defines the limits of Government and what they can and can't do.  The "balance of power" has nothing to do with the rights held by the people and rights not conferred on the Federal Government by the people.

You are aware the the Constitution is a piece of paper that is open to interpretation, and in times of crisis, is easily avoided/manipulated, and history proves that over and over. This is a case where the Director of an Agency under the umbrella of the Department of Justice under the current Administration is now seen in overreach by Congress, and at least one Federal Magistrate. That is how our system of government survives and evolves. There isn't any Constitutional purity simply for temporal reasons; the Founding Fathers wouldn't have any idea of the future beyond at most a vague few decades. 

Yikes!  Really?  So the Ten Commandments are really old and up for interpretation to all Christians just because it's old and written in stone?  

Regading the constitition: A law is a law. They didn't write it in the abstract. They wrote it in such a basic way that only people trying to skirt around it try to "interpret" it. If followed to the tee and not allowed for the "variations on a theme" approach, we would not have such a mess of things now. It's because judges started trying to "interpret" it rather than follow it that's created these "precedences" - they use those to justify even further perversion of the actual written law. 

I've always believed before running for any position at a federal level - be it congress or DOJ - that all of them should be required to take a test in regards to the actual constitution. If they can't pass they're not qualified. Every other job in the world requires experience or physical test beit typing or whatever the job requires. Why don't we require this?  It would keep politics out of it if people actually knew what the law was. 

Yes I know most of these people are lawyers, etc but the test would show if they actually KNOW (remember) what the law is. Especially the House of Representatives. Those sheep just do whatever the oldest sheep tell them to do. 

I truly believe if this woman had to take this test she would fail. 

In fact, like someone else on here mentioned. They should all be forced to take a computer security course for the basics (You too Hilary!). If you're going to actually discuss a thing you should know something about a thing 

What if Apple wrote something that "accidentally" wiped the phone?  I mean how many times do we go through betas when we're testing software?  7, 8, 9 revisions or more?  Sometimes even the fix for beta 5 breaks something that was working fine in betas 1 - 4. It happens all the time. They certainly can't have us beta testers test their crack. Holy crap. Hell look what happened to the people who thought they'd save money having a non apple tech guy repair their home button. 

So will Apple be responsible for accidentally wiping it too?  i mean shit happens right?  <GRIN> After all it WAS the brainiacs at the FBI who thought it was a good idea for the San Betnafino County IT guy to assign the device a new Apple ID and password. God lord have these people never sold an iPhone on Craig's list?  That's what you do when you want to purposely loose your shit and sell it but too lazy to get erase it. <LOL> What buffoons are running their IT?  And the FBI actually thought "Yeah let's do that!!  I mean let's not take it to apple right?"  Any Genius Bar tech would have known "Go to your house where it knows the WIFI and we can start a manual iCloud backup for you". Idiots from the get go
