Apple’s Anti-Leaking Policy Leaked

Apple is known to go to great lengths to protect their secrets and prevent leaks about their products before official launch, and that’s why it is ironic that their anti-leaks policy document got leaked.

 The document was leaked by 9to5Mac website and – surprisingly enough – it is not as over the top as one would expect given Apple’s reputation.

The policy states mainly that Apple employees “may not disclose Apple confidential information to an outside party unless a written agreement or license has been previously signed and approved by the division vice president.”

Additionally, the policy directs the employees not to use their @apple.com email addresses for non-business-related matters, with alternative @me.com email addresses given for use in personal communications.

The policy allows Apple employees to have their own blogs and websites as long as they don’t discuss anything about the company or its products. As for social networks such as Facebook, Apple employees are required to “be thoughtful about how you present yourself in online social networks. The lines between public and private, and personal and professional are blurred in online social networks.”

The New Xbox 360 Dashboard TOS Takes Away Customers’ Right To Sue

Mimicking a similar move that was done by Sony not so long ago, Microsoft has amended the Xbox 360 terms of service to prevent U.S. customers from taking the participating in class action lawsuits against it.

 “If you live in the United States,” the new TOS reads. “You and Microsoft agree that if you and Microsoft do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation ... any effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration in accordance with the arbitration procedures in Section 18.1.7.”

“You understand and acknowledge that by agreeing to binding arbitration, you are giving up the right to litigate (or participate as a party or class member) all disputes in court before a judge or jury.”

“Instead, you understand and agree that all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose award (Decision) will be binding and final, except for a limited right of appeal under the federal arbitration act.”

Facebook Bug - Zuckerberg’s Private Photos Exposed

It is no secret that Facebook has a lot of privacy protection issues, and now the latest one of them has hit the site’s creator Mark Zuckerberg himself.

 The new flaw was discovered by members of a body building forum and it was used successfully to access people’s private photos until Facebook plugged the hole.

The flaw took advantage of a feature in the “Report Abuse” tool. When a Facebook user reports a picture for “nudity or pornography,” the tool presented him with a list of other photos from the same user so that he can report them as well. Problem is, this list ignored the user’s privacy settings.

Facebook disabled the “Report Abuse” tool temporary until the issue is fixed, but not before private photos of Mark Zuckerberg made their way to the internet.

Piracy Is Not Harmful - Swiss Government Says

A new official report from the Swiss government concluded that the country’s lenient anti-piracy laws are more than enough since piracy is not as harmful as the entertainment industry would have us believe.

 The report conceded that more than one third of Swiss over 15 pirate music, movies and games regularly; however, it noted that most of them don’t realize they are doing something illegal despite widespread media coverage on the subject.

More importantly, the report noted that no matter the size of piracy going on, the total amount spent on entertainment doesn’t really change. In other words, money saved by piracy is spent on other forms of entertainment anyway.

In the end, content creators end up recouping their piracy losses through concerts, cinemas and merchandising as those give user an experience that cannot be downloaded.

So what about studios and record labels who make their livelihood off of content? Tough luck, the report says. They have to “adapt to the changing consumer behavior” or die.
