In re Campbell Soup Co., 77 F.T.C. 664 (1970).

It took all of 2 minutes to find the case. You have to know where to look.

The case is not available digitally for free or as part of subscriptions to legal research databases to Lexis, Westlaw, etc. It is available digitally if you are willing to pay for individual access to the case; price varies depending on the LRD used.

Note that the FTC has not ever actually issued formal regulations on this topic. This is largely for administrative reasons: if the FTC published formal rules, it would be bound to those rules; with informal rules, it is better able to address ads which are deceptive but otherwise satisfy the letter of the law. (This flexibility is a good thing, otherwise the rules on food advertising alone could fill a small room.)

I think the issue most people take with it is the ability of the manufacturer to lock down what a user could do with the hardware they paid for. In my mind it's similar to Apple's hold on the iPhone hardware(whether or not that's still the case I don't know, I haven't kept up on it in a while) - but with general purpose computers.

Also, my mention of the issue stemming from the higher-level realm is founded in the idea that exploitation of a device's firmware can't take place without either A) physical access or B) exploitation of higher level software to work its way down. As I mentioned I'm no expert, so I don't know if there are other methods available to attackers. Please elaborate if there are.

While not a physical switch, I believe for x86 / AMD64 computers, Microsoft is mandating that the user must have the option to disable secure boot via firmware switch (see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/22/protecting-the... ).

The opposite is true of ARM, however.
Wow, that looks amazing. Forgive my ignorance (I don't use external displays with my MBP), but how is this done? Does each display connect to the next display with Thunderbolt daisy chaining?
I agree that a compromise giving the best of both worlds would be the ideal outcome here.
So what you're saying, is every blog post written on a products site, needs to re-introduce the product each time? That's a fair request actually, and could be achieved as simply as an opening sentence of 'If you're new here, you might want to learn about us first! CLICK HERE'
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Stallman is cool and everything but he is NOT 100% right. Most of us here, for instance, do not believe it is unethical to create "proprietary software". There is still a lot of basic philosophy on which to contest Stallman.

If being a douchebag involves defamation, then yes, you can be sued in civil court. This is all going under civil action, not criminal court (big difference).

Remember, broadly speaking, defamation is just undertaking some action that gives some entity a negative image. Before you go nuts on that, yes, truth is a defense against defamation (ie: it is not defamation if it is true). At which point parody becomes defamation is something of a grey line, which Carreon will try his hardest to use.

If Carreon can paint the image in court that the internet is after him, it would probably help him make his case that the fake twitter account is defamation, not mere parody. After all, context matters.

Yes, it makes us very sad that you can't share app folders.

We like being sandboxed in the Apps folder, but it does mean folders can't be shared.

But many of the author's points don't apply to philosophy papers, either - when philosophers are deciding what to write they don't start with their conclusion any more than scientists and engineers do. Likewise, the author's claim not to have been convinced by a philosophical paper seems odd to me, and suggests he doesn't have much familiarity with philosophy. If anything, I think there are more influential papers than books in philosophy, particularly of the analytic sort; think of Quine's "Two Dogmas of Empiricism," Gettier's "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge," or Putnam's "The Meaning of Meaning," for instance, all of which are more influential than any of the books written by these authors.
Heh, obviously you've never used Tumblr before. Tons of people that I follow learn basic HTML and CSS by customizing their blog's theme, and the end result is insanely creative and unique blog layouts.

Not only that, but a lot of the content they're posting is original and creative as well. Whether it's original art, stories, poems, collages of gifs from a favorite TV show, etc, it's extremely easy (in my experience) to find creativity on Tumblr.

Abstracting a bit: this is the problem with all addiction. Ever tried to imagine never going to the pub with your pals again? Ever tried to imagine not partaking in the happy hour drinks in the office on a particularly successful friday? These events are woven into the social fabric of society and they are now off limits (at least in their fullest extent) to someone trying to kick an alcohol addiction.

A stoner trying to imagine how watch a movie or play a game with friends faces similar issues.

A cocaine addict can't imagine going dancing all night without a pick-me-up.

It isn't that any of these things are real necessarily. People don't drink at bars all the time, or play games without drugs, or dance the night away without stimulants just fine. It's that the social setting, the friends and the general expectations of one's groups are all part of the understanding. It isn't just "do the same thing without the external influence", it's "those things are built in part around the external influence". It takes a lot of lifestyle change for addicts to successfully quit. Those who aren't tend to not understand, because their social world, and their view/understanding of the world isn't built around the addiction, so it is hard for them to understand that it isn't just removal of one part of an otherwise unchanged existence.

It's terribly difficult.
That is all amazingly wise and level-headed for someone his age. I am impressed.

But they should have done this with Windows 10 years ago.

I don't understand your point. If higher level software is exploited, they don't need physical access and not only are you screwed, without Secure Boot, you have no way of knowing you're screwed.

Again, Microsoft is not locking down what you can do. It's a feature of UEFI that is there to protect users. The ONLY way that Microsoft intersects with this is that they have the privilege of being pre-enrolled on computers, because let's face it, 99.999% of people buy computers with Windows on them and they expect it to run. Not that they have to boot into a special OS, enroll keys and install Windows themselves. (Again, see my earlier post about how they can disable Secure Boot or enroll their own keys)

With Secure Boot, your bootloader can't be compromised. Not even with physical access, not even with a higher level software escalation. That's kind of the point. I'm not sure how else to explain it. You basically named the only two ways to affect a computer, so I really don't know what you're getting at, I guess.

Downvotes for explanations, jeez. If your takeaway is that I don't believe in personal device freedom, you're either not understanding the issues at hand, or you've conveniently ignored the explanation I offer in this post.

"Seen any freelancing PMs or BA?"

Seen many.If you understand business domains, have experience dealing with lines of business, managers, executives, you can freelance. Not everyone needs to (or should) write code.
This is the first time I hear about IFTTT. I like it very much. The name is terrible though. The other similar startup on HN, Zapier, has a much better, easier to remember name. I'd go as far as to suggest to change the name. Here's one: apibit.com is still available.
So your counterexample is that secure boot can protect against hard drive encryption breaks. I guess that's fair. But it's not perfect protection (a compromised kernel will give up the keys too). Honestly, given the frequency with which we see kernel exploits in the wild I'd say it's at best incrementally better protection. It's also a hypothetical: are there active evil maid attacks in the wild?

And, of course, my point was that secure boot comes with very non-trivial costs (to freedom of use, primarily). I don't think it's worth it, and your example hasn't convinced me.

And I don't understand the edit. Of course no one checks their bootsectors, just as no one checks hashes of their system files. There's a whole industry of (vaguely useful) software to do this for them. How does a potential new vector change the concept of AV software?

You may disagree with Stallman's philosophy (many do, me too). But his predicitions WERE spot on, and they were made more than 30 years ago.

He predicted DRM for consumer media, and that DRM violations will carry a harsh punishment. As the laws are written (and occasionally practiced), he was more than spot-on.

He predicted being unable to run unapproved software on commodity hardware you own. This has started happening with iPhone/iPad and somewhat with Win7 and (boot locked) Android devices. This post is about it coming to a PC near you in the near future via Win8 UEFI Secure Boot requirements.

In the beginning, you'll have to pay more to get hardware that can run anything you fancy, and it some point you might not be able to.

I'd say his predictions were right. Philosophy and ethics is never a well defined right or wrong, so I'm not sure what you are arguing with.

I was given a Zune. It was well made and easy to navigate, much better than the Archos I bought before I bought my iPod. If the Zune had been released before the iPod, it would have been an impressive piece of hardware. A great product! However it wasn't. I tried really hard to enjoy my Zune. It felt like a waste just to throw it away.

The problem was that it was almost as good as my iPod. Releasing a product that is almost as good as a product that came out 3 years earlier doesn't work. If you are going to release 3 years late, you have to be better. I agree with the above comment, Microsoft will fail it tries to beat apple where it is strong. Microsoft either needs to find a "Steve Jobs" who can drastically change its company culture or stop tying to compete with apple on consumer products.

Note: I am being generous when I say it was almost as good. It had downsides. In particular the companion software to load up music was a bad experience.

My guess is that when people say they loved their Zune, its because they wanted to love it. If you gave the same person an iPod (and they were being impartial) my guess is they would choose the iPod.

However, I don't think its likely these Zune owners were impartial. It would not be a big surprise if most people who bought and defend the Zune are Microsoft Zealots that want to find reasons to prove Microsoft is great and Apple is bad.
This. Programming is skilled labor which is why they make more than the guys that work at McDonalds but there's still a ton of programmers out there.

For some definition of "will", I guess. It's part of the windows logo requirements for x86. For now.

But what happens when someone screws up? I buy a laptop with a windows logo and try to install OpenBSD or whatnot, only to discover that the "disable secure boot" option is missing or broken. What's my recourse? Wait for a firmware update (which we know from experience will never arrive -- it boots fine in windows)? Return the laptop (which works perfectly within its warranted behavior)? Whine and look sad?

The incentives are all wrong for this to be a stable situation. Over time and platform changes, "disable secure boot" is going to rot. We all know it.
I can't even copy it, let alone type at the end of it. When i reach a little less than halfway through, it breaks off and selects the other half. This is interesting. I am guessing, there is a hidden unicode character that breaks of the selection.

Haha, well the title is definitely one to click on, but your premise is essentially the opposite (or at least your path is different, not wrong, as you mentioned).

Entrepreneurship is a path to solve a problem you're interested in, change the world, satisfy your ego, work on your own, or dozens of other reasons why people start companies. There's no right way, and even many YC companies are going to fail. If you see a small idea that's a lifestyle business as a good way to gain experience and get there quickly, it might make more rational sense than being part of a YC batch. It just depends your priorities in life at the time and what makes you happy.

They are not mandating it one way or the other. <sarcasm>In their infinite benevolence</sarcasm> they leave that at the discretion of x86/AMD64 machine makers. For now.

They do not for ARM machine makers that want to run Windows.

I really like the positioning of the problem as a technical issue, or a series of bugs. FIX ALL THE BUGS [in society].
ARM Windows machines are required to not be disableable. Non-ARM Windows machines MAY be disablable - but that's up to the manufacturer. What I'm saying is that the real solution is to require the ability for users to easily edit the configuration. It's a bit like saying the real solution isn't to defeat SOPA, but to actually pass it's opposite into law.
The new MBP has two Thunderbolt ports and an HDMI output so I assume it's just using each output separately. Not sure about the Air though....
This post really really resonates with the thoughts bouncing around in my head currently.

"Interesting indeed. And somehow, I have a feeling that it’s all going to work out in the end. For both of us."

While optimistic, it reminds me that try as we might to codify and generalize all the ways to be successful in business, your own personal heuristic approach is all that's going to matter in the end.
