Because I also commented on the HN thread about the offending website 24h earlier TheRegister's article made its way to the public. Already on the previous thread, someone suggested to be careful about that website, as it couldn't

If you can't read it between the lines : Yes, we are all living behind some sort of firewalls, either technical, legal or cultural.

Blocking incoming information or outgoing information requires a firewall either way. Here the firewall is the patent system, or any cultural belief that trade secrets create more value than open systems.

People make mistake when they are under pressure, how do you know that guy wasn't being blackmailed, and someone or something threatened to harm his family if he didn't do it?

It makes sense to replicate and sharing knowledge among as many people and organizations as possible. Replication is the best way to protect knowledge. The old model is to see knowledge as words written down on a piece of paper, and only kn

Public knowledge is of course the best, but if you can't have that, at least two actors with the same knowledge is better than only one monopolizing it.

I don't suggest anything, I'm only saying we trust way too much CNN and journalists in general who reinforce our initial believes.

It depends of your believes. You can't prove that always being honest is not smart.

Following your argument, Apple could be a very smart criminal organization that doesn't get caught. Should we investigate further on Apple to make sure? Edit : by the way, that guy could have been blackmailed. Someone may have said &qu

Well, I don't trust CNN either so it's actually a good comparison. It seems "well-known" sources of news are using their comfortable position to accept a lower quality of their journalism. I'm not saying their are b

I don't understand how you can blame him and call someone a "dumbass" for being honest. It looks like the dumbasses are Apple project managers, or Apple lawyers, or Apple security admins or whoever write Apple's policies

Honestly, for someone who doesn't know TheRegister, even that article looks like a scam to me. The linked image stored on the ARM server from the comment above is a way stronger proof imho. Edit : The picture could have still been hija

No one proved ARM was actually behind this. It could be a scam.

To me, it looks like that site was not created by ARM, no one was able to prove ARM created it, and it could be just a scam to attack ARM's public image. That's bad journalism right there.

I want to work for a world with free flow of information, where individuals should not be responsible alone for the mistakes of a multi-billions organization. If any company can do it better than Apple somewhere in the world, then let them
