My son loves jailbreak.

1) Why did our society make this error?

Racism. Victims are most available in the disenfranchised of our society and black people have always been disenfranchised in our society.

2) How do we prevent making the same mistake in the future, regarding other issues?

Stop being racist. Stop disenfranchising entire segments of the population. Start investigating those in positions of power and stop the cover-ups.

It's both better than and worse than it appeared/feared. It turns out it wasn't a password hack, it was a social hack against Apple. Looks like someone recently watched the movie Hackers and wanted to see if that stuff still works. Hint: It still works.

Update Three: I know how it was done now. Confirmed with both the hacker and Apple. It wasn’t password related. They got in via Apple tech support and some clever social engineering that let them bypass security questions. Apple has my Macbook and is trying to recover the data. I’m back in all my accounts that I know I was locked out of. Still trying to figure out where else they were.

No - turns out Apple let the hacker in.

And if you owned a Kindle you'd know exactly what people mean. The iPad is heavy for one handed use, not to mention bulky. It does excel at PDF use though. To each his own. I prefer the Kindle for anything that is just words. Anything else is a toss up between iPad and nOok.

I'll send a 15 page article to the Kindle and read it on the train, there is no similar feature and even if there was I'm not sure I'd take advantage of it. I'm not a huge video fan to be truthful. I'm too ADD for it I think, I can listen to music and read at the same time, with video I find myself listening to the video and reading something else at the same time. Doesn't work so well when it's an interview though. Apparently I learn better via reading rather than listening.

You are not the only one, I actually clicked through to the comments to make this same rant. So upvote for you for saving me some typing and expressing my opinion exactly.

You actually do have work experience if you've been building your own company for the last 6 years. Do you have anything to show for it? If so, that's your resume. If you don't...well why not? That would be your real problem, not the lack of work history.

Even without the internet, if an idea exists then knowledge of it will spread unless it's kept a strict secret. Further, protecting a system by promoting ignorance of said system protects neither the system nor the people it's designed to serve. Rather it endangers everyone who is beholden to it as the system goes further and further off the rails to justify increasingly erratic behavior. Classic spirit of the law vs. letter of the law debate.
