At which point I would say "What evidence?" The government, with its warrant, is seeking to find information on my phone, if there's no information on my phone, who's to say it was there in the first place?

"Today, Apple has published instructions for developers to verify that the version of Xcode they have installed is the official one." No need for that. If you downloaded it from Apple, it's official.

Reminds me of the story about baggage claim at Houston's airport. They kept getting lots of complaints about how long it took for people to wait for their bags after getting off their flights. To fix this they moved the claim area furt

This is just more anti-government FUD. It is legal in all 50 states to collect rainwater on your property. http://www.enlight-inc.com/blog/?p=1036 The story that keeps circulating on the internet is that a guy in Colo
