Shipping our garbage halfway around the world is asinine. We should be dealing with it ourselves.

This what you get when a grossly incompetent Enterprise Software Vendor shoves garbage out to millions of computers. Delta was only one customer of many affected.

First thing I do on a new install of Chrome is disable 3rd party cookies.

That's fine and good until someone OD's and the paramedics have to show up and save their addicted ass. That makes it all our problem.

Why shouldn't it be up to Apple? This garbage would tarnish their brand as most people won't properly blame the culprit. The only way to do this is by opt-in when turning on a new phone for the first time.

Yes they can, but I just checked how easy it would be to cancel my Prime membership, and it was easy to find a cancel button.

Yup, it somewhat compensates for the hidden expenses of using credit card's and is a good deal for those who pay off in full every month. Cash back reward goes strait to my hobby fund. Also, the Amazon branded VISA has no foreign transaction fee's, so when I visit Europe, that saves about 3%.

You should be able to search for legitimate information (COBRA info) on the internal company website with security flagging it and holding it against you.

For those that care and know enough to find it in the iOS settings, doesn't the "Limit Ad Tracking" option accomplish the same thing as this new feature? I suppose most Facebook and iPhone users have no idea about that setting.

This should be really simple. Everyone and every corporation should pay every dime of taxes they owe. Now, Congress has written and Presidents have signed off on a hideously complex tax code. Since that is what they wanted, is it really any surprise that people and corporations hire accountants to make sense of it and to minimize the amount of taxes they pay? All this talk about the spirit of the law and so on is utter nonsense. If someone doesn't like the amount of taxes Apple is paying, show where they are violating the law and the Government can go after them. Until then, everyone can whine all they want, but the root of the problem and the solution lies with the United States Congress, which last I check had an approval rating of 14%, so don't hold your breath for tax reform.
