Comment In what sense can't Apple do anything? (Score 1) 139

I find it hard to believe that Apple is technically unable to fix this. Presumably there is a data structure that contains the information about who is in charge of the account and they can edit it. If so, is the problem that they are afraid the ex-husband will sue them for breach of contract? I would think that the custody order would provide a good defense. What exactly is Apple's reason for saying they can't fix this?

Comment Why isn't it reversible? (Score 1) 85

\Why is the update not reversible? How about they make it available for download. People copy it to a thumb drive and insert it in the car. Before the new version is installed, the old version is saved on the thumb drive. If there is a problem with the new version, the user has only to restore the old version.

Comment Giving hosts too much power. (Score 1) 41

This illustrates why host countries should not be given too much power. It's one thing if Brazil or some other country wants put on a unilateral show, but when an international organization is going to have a meeting, it should have an organizing committee that has the ultimate say. Obviously it has to work with the locals, but if the locals propose something stupid like this, the organizing committee should be able to say no, either fix it or we move the meeting elsewhere.
