Probably true, but the NORK paranoia is spreading, inasmuch as they're beginning to fear their own downtrodden as much as they fear the outside world.
Read "Nothing to envy", and you will see that a populace exposed to external media cannot continue to swallow the "We have nothing to envy" propaganda. Mr Kim & his élite's position is slowly becoming just a little more precarious every year.

Apple to end support for original iPhone: report
Re: 4S
I suppose it depends on what you're trying to do with it.
My 4 needed rebooting maybe two or three times in two and a half years of ownership. Found one app that crashed a few times and removed it. No more crashes! Now got a 64GB iPhone 5 (had it for four months) - haven't needed to reboot it at all and it has never crashed.

Oh, the irony!

Don't know what sort of warranty you hard, but I believe that under EU legislation, a 2-yr warranty is mandatory - but I'm not familiar with all the fine print & legal cobblers.
Might be worth checking upon, and telling your supplier or HP that it's up to them to fix it or swap it...
Do check first, though.
Re: But, but....
I agree.
My new iPhone (64GB) is half full (films, apps & music) - I spend 5 hrs each day commuting (by rail) and it's well used. i spend all my time using it and damn all time tweaking, configuring, re-configuring or rebooting it. As I've been a Mac techie for getting on for 30 years (and a software engineer since the mid-70's) I'm not averse to a bit of tinkering here and there, but it's nice to have one item I just use.
Can't think of any app I could need or want that isn't available through iTunes - but I differ from Lallabalalla in that I don't have a FB app. Rational or not, I feel rather uneasy about a site which demands registration before I can even look at an acquaintance's FB entry, and whose pervasiveness has spread to many competitions being based upon "Liking us on Facebook".
I don't like - and so I forego competition entry. There's just something rather creepy about MZ & FB.
Awaits inevitable rush of down votes from rabid anti-Apple hats who don't think anyone should be permitted to hold other views...

Try that in the private sector (The REAL world) and you'd be rapidly fired - or at least your remains would be since you would have been totally eviscerated by that stage.

Free speechers want into Apple and Samsung sealed court filings
@ Intractable Potsherd (Re: @ Pen-y-gors @ Ted Treen)
Pure sophistry.
Who decides what is private and what is "quasi-private"?
ANY company's financial details are purely the prerogative of:-
1) The shareholders
2) The tax authorities
3) Their bank.
No-one else has any right of access to it at all!
@ Pen-y-gors
"Free Speech" doesn't give you the right to access others' private info.
If you had a dispute with your bank - which went to court - would you consider that all & sundry had the right to pore over your bank statements in the name of "Free Speech"?

Ads in general
Some ads - like the ones in Technology mags (and even the ones appearing on El Reg) I don't mind, as I find them informative, but I am aware they're trying to sell me a product.
What I do like is the straight-forward technical description of the product and its capabilities.
No. I don't accept this as gospel, but what it does do is generally give me sufficient data to decide if it's an appropriate product to add to my comparison list, from which I do further investigation to decide for myself which is the best option for my requirements and budget.

Re: The Lefties won't like it
Yes - I think he's overpaid - as I think of many of our "industry leaders", certainly the higher echelons of bankers and virtually all politicos.
I'm not by any means a lefty - some of my work colleagues consider me to be somewhat to the right of Genghis Khan - and I abhor NuLab, Millipede, Ed 'talking' Balls, Harridan Harperson etc. Neither do I have much time for Cameron (Blair Lite) or Clegg...
I'm I suppose an anti-authoritarian (can't be a lefty with that view) who believes in small government, and a libertarian but one who nevertheless thinks that a CEO receiving remuneration which is some 50, 100 or even 500 times what his employees earn is bordering on the obscene.
Please note I use the words "receiving remuneration" carefully, as there's no way on God's Earth that they can be said to earn it...
...you have overwhelming desires to buy a third-world country and appoint yourself "El Presidente for life", I cannot fathom why anyone would be desperate to receive $30Million (£20Million Sterling) per annum.
What in God's name could you want it for? Surely there's only so many yachts/aircraft/Ferraris you could own?
Unless it's for setting up a charitable foundation and doing some good, there must come a point where such wealth actually becomes a problem (security, time to deal with it, the vast army of bean-counters etc).
Maybe I'm just a peasant, but as long as I can pay my way, look after family etc., I'm content. If I were to receive such sums, then once I had a few million in the bank - well, maybe not there in the current circumstances - I'd say "Bugger work", and just enjoy life whilst doing charitable stuff with what I didn't need to keep.

"What a difference a year makes," the former G.O.O.D. Music artist tells Hip-Hop Wired. "The feud is simply over. We mutually squashed it all at Starlets. It was an impromptu encounter and it did start with a stare down, but we concluded it with a man to man talk. Nothing but 'G Sh*t!" The "Starlets" he is referring to is Starlets Gentlemen's Club, located at 25th Ave in Queens. (HHW)
Last year, Cons came forward to give his take on what went down during a dicey "Love & Hip Hop" reunion taping.
"It boils down to respect and lack thereof," Cons explained in an interview. "I'm from Queens, New York and we only deal with the facts. So let's deal with the facts. The number one thing is, I don't run from nobody. Why would I smack somebody and then run, but stay there to get jumped? I never ran from nothing. Let's keep that clear. That's the part he came and told you Angie is that I hit him, Tahiry snuffed me, and then I ran. Nobody ran. I'm not gonna run from Tahiry. Unfortunately, when I smacked him, from what I was told by one of the stylists or production people, when I extended, it hit Tahiry. So she reacted and she hit me. And that's a girl hitting me. And I like Tahiry. Shout out to Tahiry. It felt good." ("The Angie Martinez Show")
Earlier in the day, "Love & Hip Hop" cast member Tahiry provided some details on the initial attack.
"No, don't believe the hype," Tahiry said when asked if she and Budden are back together. "Don't believe the hype. Like I said, you guys, don't believe the hype but you guys should tune in Monday night at 8 on VH1. [Me and Joe blog rumors?] What else is new? Like I said, you can't believe everything you read. [Him and Kaylin breaking up and us getting back together?] That's something you should ask Joe about — me and Joey are not back together. I'm going to let you guys know that right now." ("The Breakfast Club")
Budden initially came clean on the entire attack moments after Cons assaulted him.
"We're at the reunion, we're filming, I've been doing this reunion all day long and we probably won't be done until 10 o'clock," Budden said in an interview. "They're breaking right now, they're getting the next group of audience members in there. I'm in a room with security standing all outside the door. It was a break and I grabbed Tahiry because me and her be fiending to go smoke a cigarette, so we're headed out and someone just runs up behind me and hits me in the back of the head, with their hand. I turn around because I'm thinking this is a girl that did this upset about something I said during the filming and it's him and he's running away now. So now he's real far away from me. Apparently he hit me in the back of the head while I was walking away, Tahiry snuffed him and then he ran off and then eight security guards came and grabbed me off. [laughs] A spectacle happened. [Injuries?] No, no, no, not at all. I don't have anything. … I honestly thought this was a woman doing it." ("The Angie Martinez Show")

Tom Brokaw has written a book about the "greatest generation," a generation that grew up with fathers in the home who saw it as their duty to instill in their sons a work ethic.
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody?
"These are the times that try men's souls" wrote Thomas Paine during the darkest days of the American Revolution.
If you are like us, every day you pick up a smartphone and you send email, visit with friends on Facebook, send a text message or even log into your bank's website and pay a bill.
Despite the fact that in America, 60 to 70 percent of people identify themselves as "Christian" to one degree or another, Christian-bashing seems to be just about as popular a pastime as watching football these days. And when a national football player commits the unpardonable sins of being both pro-life and vociferously, pro-Jesus, you end up with Monday morning pundits who cast ridiculous judgments from on top of their lofty thrones, much like the old Muppet Show characters Statler and Waldorf.
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody?
Those who would describe Occupy protests as a "hissy fit" by "a whole army of freeloaders" who "have no interest in just getting to work and doing their part" are missing the point.
To listen to the "elite" media you'd think that a renowned statesman was regrettably planning to leave the political scene.
CLEARFIELD, Pa. - Here's one more disturbing story related to the shocking Penn State child sexual abuse case: Victim #1, whose allegations about being molested by Jerry Sandusky led to legendary football coach and alleged enabler Joe Paterno's firing, has left his high school after being bullied by classmates due to his role in Paterno's dismissal.
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody?
The failure of the congressional "supercommittee" to present a credible plan to reduce spending shows once again that Congress simply cannot restrain itself.
"Do you know what I want to be when I grow up, Daddy?"
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody?
HOLLYWOOD - Happy Thanksgiving, everybody, and God Bless America.
Thanksgiving is one of the simplest American holidays.
Did the election last week really mean that much? I took to my Twitter account on Tuesday to point out that the change in control of the Senate from Democrat to Republican actually means very little, despite efforts by politicians and the mainstream media to convince us otherwise. Yes, power shifted, I wrote. But the philosophy on Capitol Hill changed very little. The warfare/welfare state is still alive and well in Washington.
So Jonathan Gruber thinks the American people are stupid, does he?
Usually when a burning issue arises, I feel compelled to squeeze every last drop of my own phrasing, logic and wit into this limited space.
What an amazing five years this has been!
So, that was fun. One minute we're promised a half dozen toss up races to determine control of the United States Senate, and the next Democrats are ducking under their desks as Massachusetts and Maryland elected Republican governors. Let the "Very Important Pundits" take turns on cable news assigning blame for the losses. I'm more interested in why the polls didn't tell us the wave was coming.
I admit it: I feel sorry for cigarette and cigar smokers these days. But changing fashions and the results of the recent election may offer them hope.

Minnesota Kayak Fishing Association
Kayak fishing provides some unique features and experiences that make the sport fun and exciting. This club was founded as a way for kayak anglers in the upper midwest, to meet and share information with each other.
The mission of the MNKFA is to facilitate information sharing and ways for kayak anglers to meet
What types of info will be shared? Reviews on equipment, fishing hot spots, bait, lures, species specific tips, tournaments, we want our users to create, debate and add conversations and content. As kayak fishing enthusiasts we share some unique differences that set us apart. We use a niche type of boat that is powered by human energy. We experience the water and fish we catch in a very close, intimate way. We can get to fishing spots that others cannot since our boats are more portable and able to get in to skinny water conditions. We make custom modifications to our boats to suit our unique fishing style and capabilities.
Our fishing experience is unique due to the class of boats we use. The Minnesota Kayak Fishing Association is being formed as way for us to easily share the unique things that are of interest to kayak fishing people and make it easy to meet other kayak anglers.
Who can join?
YOU! There are no age limits. All men, women and children are welcome. It doesn't matter what type of fish you prefer to catch (okay…fish for :)). It doesn't matter what type of equipment you use. This effort is grass-roots and we want the entire spectrum of people, equipment and tips represented. When you sign up you will be added to our list to receive information on tournaments, news from other members and promotions from regional vendors and experts on upper midwest kayak fishing.
Johnny J. Wins The One Last Bass Tournament 2014!
Here's what Jonny had to say via our facebook page – guys, talk about DUMB LUCK that I saw this fish swirl out of the corner of my eye…and swirl again when I looked at the first swirl. This was next to the fishing pier and people were fishing from it and I was going to bypass the area entirely…until I saw the swirl For those who don't know…first HIT from this bass was on a white Chatter Bait…then I threw a Bubble gum pink Fluke which this fish took…thank God.
The BEST part of this past weekend wasn't winning this tourney…it was meeting all of you and I mean that. My past experiences in other fishing groups were just terrible…and I was hesitant to join the Minnesota Kayak Fishing Association…but I'm glad I did because the PEOPLE I've had the opportunity to meet were some of the nicest people I've been around fishing-wise. The Minnesota Kayak Fishing Association is a cut above the rest and I'm proud to be associated with it. I look forward to fishing the Mankato area with anyone who's shown a desire to fish it…YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED I can promise you that!!! As for next year I would love for us to do a tournament here in the Mankato area…I'm already putting together a group of 4 lakes within a 5 mile radius of each other that anyone fishing the tournament could choose to fish for that day. Just make it a point to get down here early next bass season and fish with me so I can get you familiarized with the lakes and area…if we do a 3 fish measurement again it will more than likely take over 60 inches to win the tourney…that's how good the fishing is and the amount of PIGS present.
And talk of a TEXAS trip in late Feb next year has gotten my attention big time…every time I watch a fishing show and they're fishing Texas I think how unfair it is that they have access to MONSTER bass I really hope I can arrange to go with you on that one…what would it be like to catch a 12 pound Large Mouth??? I'm dying to find out I've exchanged my phone number with a few of you already and if anyone else want's to fish here in the Mankato area next year just message me and we can exchange phone numbers and we will make it happen. NICE TO MEET ALL OF YOU for all of you are class acts on the water and in person. Fish on.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The magnet is of really high quality- it is thick and can hold things to the fridge, from paper to cardstock (meaning that your guests will be more likely to keep it). The design process was easy and when something didn't work, my designer was quick to tweak it (within 24 hours). They explained what they did to fix it (especially if it wasn't exactly the way I saw how to fix it). The white numbers were hard to read on the lighter background picture we used and the designer was able to add shading behind the numbers so they stood out."
"I absolutely loved my save the dates magnets. Most importantly they came in the mail in less then a week and on time. I would definitely recommend this site, and I will keep shopping here myself! Thank you so much."
"I absolutely loved my save the date magnets. Wedding paper divas had amazing service and my magnets shipped very quickly. The magnets I ordered were a little small however the overall product was beautiful and I loved them. I would suggest this to anyone. I will definitely be buying another product from wedding paper divas."
"My only complaint is the vague product discription for the magnet. I was afraid I might be getting a plastic cover with a magnet stuck on the back. It was nothing of the sort. The image is crisp and clear and the entire backing is magnetic. 100% satisfied."
"These save the dates were so cute. Delivery was quicker than expected! I've gotten multiple compliments on them from people that we sent them to."

Dreams of Drawing: How to Become an Illustrator in 2014
For any kid who went through a Crayola phase or doodled her way through high school, illustration seems like an ideal line of work. As with any dream career, however, the perks often overshadow the challenges. For every artist with a full list of client projects, there are quite a few more struggling to turn breakout Behance popularity into mainstream recognition. The industry is saturated, the competition is fierce, and the internet—the proverbial blessing and curse—has turned everyone (or is it no one?) into illustration superstars with hoards of followers.

Score from 623 reviews Very good
The close location to the train station. It is quite but close to the center.
The room was spare but clean and beds were extremely comfortable. The breakfast selections were diverse and the staff was wonderfully attentive.
A small container of shampoo and the option of unwrapped a small bar of soap would have been welcomed. (Dispensers on the walls of the shower and near the sink were available for generic liquid soap.)
in the parking my car was obstructed by a truck, serving the hotel with catering. After asking to move it, because I had an appointment, the truck driver and the receptionist did absolutely nothing, causing waste of time. very good service.... to be remembered for the next booking. certainly not in this hotel!
Staff Excellent Room Excellent Wi-Fi Excellent
Helpful staff
Long walk to the castle.
Great location if you want a centrally located hotel.
Breakfast was served until 0900. Much too early to stop serving breakfast whether one is on holiday or business. Also the selection and quality of the food was only adequate.
Location Breakfast Staff helpfullness
Parking a bit awkward/expensive 3 beds for 2 adults 2 kids
The vitamin shots at breakfast were really good!
The shower screen in the bathroom did not enclose the water within the shower at all so the whole bathroom was soaking wet and floor and inside of bathroom door was full of water! We didn't receive a floor towel for the bathroom either so we had to use hand towels on the floor! The room was small and dark. Same goes for breakfast area, very small and compact.
we were upgraded and got a very comfortable size room with amenities like robes & slippers. coffee/tea maker in the room.
breakfast ended at 9. staff started to remove food labels at 10 minutes before 9 followed by dishes of food. at about 8:45 there was no dark bread, just 2 white baguettes. I asked for dark bread and was told it's coming right out. it did and it was warm on the outside and frozen on the inside. there was no management showing any concern for the care of guests.
Friendly staff, free parking behind the building, easy access, sauna and restroom included, rich breakfast, a few blocks from city center
Staff friendliness
Smelly Business area Poor food choice Meal was cold on the outside and Lukewarm inside Just not what I expect of Radisson hotels
Very helpful staff, marvelous breakfast. One day we took our breakfast at quarter to eleven and we still had all things available on the table that we had at 07:00. Quite comfortable and quiet room. Good choice for Your money.
It is a little bit expensive to leave the car in the central garage.
The staff were helpful and friendly.The huge buffet breakfast was excellent with everything you would eat and drink for breakfast being available from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. You could probably be able to load up on rolls with cold cuts from the buffet to take with you for lunch time snacks as you head out sightseeing for the day.I liked being able to book in early to rest after my flight arrived as I was very tired.I liked the availability of ice from Ice makers situated on each floor.The soundproofing was good with the windows closed. The location is great with train station,concert hall,cathedrals,museums,pubs all within walking distance from the hotel. The flat screen t.v. in the room was good and it was nice and cosy lying on bed watching some good movie channels.The safe in the room was easy to operate and very secure.
I thought there would be room service and bathrobe and slippers and a tea/coffee maker as these were advertised for a standard room ? but at least I could go down and get drinks myself to bring up to my room. I did not mind too much that there were no bathrobes or slippers as there were enough clean towels and a towel rack to warm the towels if you wanted to.The pillows were a bit flimsy,but I could have probably got extra ones to give me more comfort,but I did not bother to ask.I understand that not all people like big firm pillows ,so it was no big deal.When you use the shower the floor outside the shower area gets a bit wet as it is at the same level with just a swing curved glass/perspex door,but it would probably get just as wet when you step out of a bathtub ,so no big deal.
Excellent free WiFi. Excellent breakfast both choice and quality. Staff very helpful and spoke good English
There weren't enough tables for breakfast so you had to wait around and grab one as people stood up to leave. 0900-1000 seemed to be the peak time at the weekend. No kettle for tea/coffee in the room
staff, comfort. location
i good not work with wifi
Location near train station and not far from the city centre. it is a simple hotel but clean and confortable. Breakfast quite good.
Location was convenient. Found the lady at front desk very helpful when I needed to print out my boarding pass for the following day's flight. Room was nice.
Breakfast was a disaster. Finding a place to sit was difficult, our first inkling that just having breakfast would be a Darwinian dog-eat-dog exercise. Tables weren't cleared nearly quickly enough. Cutlery, plates, food, coffee - all ran out. & no apology from man at front desk.
Breakfast was nice. Good price.
The room had no air-condition and the windows could barely open. It had been extremely hot outside and the whole corridor AND the room was like a sauna. Did not get proper night sleep and when I told the reception the staff responded with "Yes, it's actually too hot in my apartment at home too now"… Not professional and not 4 star quality.
- friendly staff - good breakfast - good location near trainstation and city center - sauna facility - overall nice hotel
- no airco in rooms (can be warm during summer)
Good location in the city
No AC in the rooms made it quite hot diring the night. Otherwise ok hotell
Handy to train/bus station short walk to town centre. Room was good size and good wifi access. Large flat screen TV with good range of channels. Great bathroom. Terrific breakfast sets you up for the day. Staff very helpful.
Room can get very hot with only a small opening window and furniture a bit dated. Breakfast room quite small so can be very busy.
Excellent location close to the railway station. Very reasonably priced in view of its central location. Efficient and pleasant staff on the front desk
No tea or coffee making facilities in the room. Early finish for breakfast at 10 am even at the weekend. Some breakfast items had run out by 9.30 am.
rooms very clean, and the buffet breakfast excellent
Nice room and helpful staff that will kindly answer your questions.
Central location by the railway station

Defeated labelling laws cheat consumers
For the second time, blue-state voters have defeated a ballot initiative to require labeling of genetically modified foods. In 2012, it was California; this week, it was Washington, where a labeling referendum lost 55 per cent to 45 per cent.
Advocates of labeling may as well suspend similar efforts in other states, because it's clear that, when it comes to persuading voters, they're no match for Big Food. In Washington, the Grocery Manufacturers Association, Monsanto Co., DuPont Co. and others raised $22 million to fight the measure, almost triple the $8.4 million collected by Whole Foods Markets Inc., Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap, the Center for Food Safety and other advocates of labeling. In California, the food industry similarly outspent its opposition $46 million to $9 million.
This is too bad, because labeling would give consumers more information about what's in their food, and polls suggest it's something almost everyone wants. More than 90 per cent of U.S. consumers favor requirements for labels on foods that have had their genetic makeup altered — whether to make corn tolerant of herbicides or to create plants that can secrete their own bacterial insecticides.
But it isn't the worst thing that could happen to food safety, simply because GM foods aren't dangerous. Those self- secreted insecticides, for instance, are safe. And claims that GM foods cause cancer, genetic defects, infertility or obesity aren't supported by research. The Food and Drug Administration, the American Medical Association, the National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the World Health Organization have all concluded that GM foods pose no health risk.
What's more, genetic modification, by protecting crops from extreme weather, improves food security in the developing world.
The questions about GM crops — whether they may have a harmful effect on useful insects, for example, and whether pests may build up resistance — are important ones. But they have been publicly undermined by some labeling advocates' fear- mongering.
The food industry also raises a legitimate worry that diverse state labeling laws could force them to make separate packages for foods in different states.
Given the obstacles to labeling, and its limited benefits, it would be better to refocus efforts to improve the U.S. food supply on issues more worrying for human health. Already, the FDA is proposing to eliminate artificial trans fats from the food supply, and it should be encouraged to see that that happens. The same agency should also be pressed to lower the volume of antibiotics fed to animals in meat production.
As for genetically altered foods, perhaps public preferences and competition will lead to voluntary labeling. Whole Foods has said it will require GM labels on products in its stores by 2018. And maybe if the food industry spent the money now devoted to defeating labeling initiatives on telling the public about the benefits of using science to improve and expand the world's food supply this whole issue might just go away.

November 26, 2014
Today thousands came out to compete in the second day of the Special Olympics of Wisconsin. Everyone was all smiles and hugs as the athletes competed in athletics, aquatics and soccer.
"Our athletes are at the center of everything we do, and they motivate me," said Christina Harris, director of communications. "They really show that it's not about winning or losing. It's about getting out there and trying your best."
Athletes and volunteers also enjoyed Bingo, Zumba and karaoke inside the U-W Stevens Point's Health Enhancement Center.
Free hearing, vision and fitness screenings were also offered to athletes with a medical record on file. And thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Delta Dental of Wisconsin, athletes were able to enjoy free oral health screenings.
"We are really proud of this partnership," said Ann Boson, director of charitable funds for Delta Dental. "The employees that are involved here today are having a wonderful time really getting a feel for why we do what we do."
The Special Smiles Program also provides athletes free oral health education like how to properly brush your teeth and floss. Delta Dental has been donating to the Special Olympics since 2002, which helps keep the special smiles program running.

While the story begins with a rather ponderous set-up of what has become a clichéd landscape of the human endgame, littered with smashed computers and abandoned buildings, it takes on life when Snowman recalls his boyhood meeting with his best friend Crake: "Crake had a thing about him even then.... He generated awe ... in his dark laconic clothing." A dangerous genius, Crake is the book's most intriguing character. Crake and Jimmy live with all the other smart, rich people in the Compounds--gated company towns owned by biotech corporations. (Ordinary folks are kept outside the gates in the chaotic "pleeblands.") Meanwhile, beautiful Oryx, raised as a child prostitute in Southeast Asia, finds her way to the West and meets Crake and Jimmy, setting up an inevitable love triangle. Eventually Crake's experiments in bioengineering cause humanity's shockingly quick demise (with uncanny echoes of SARS, ebola, and mad cow disease), leaving Snowman to try to pick up the pieces. There are a few speed bumps along the way, including some clunky dialogue and heavy-handed symbols such as Snowman's broken watch, but once the bleak narrative gets moving, as Snowman sets out in search of the laboratory that seeded the world's destruction, it clips along at a good pace, with a healthy dose of wry humor. --Mark Frutkin, Amazon.ca --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Irony: Amazon Secretly Removes "1984" From the KindleSubmitted by Ozark Hillbilly on Tue, 09/10/2013 - 09:31
Thousands of people last week discovered that Amazon had quietly removed electronic copies of George Orwell's 1984 from their Kindle e-book readers. In the process, Amazon revealed how easy censorship will be in the Kindle age.
Apparently, until last week, Amazon claimed it wouldn't take back purchased books either: The New York Times' Brad Stone reports:
Amazon's published terms of service agreement for the Kindle does not appear to give the company the right to delete purchases after they have been made. It says Amazon grants customers the right to keep a "permanent copy of the applicable digital content."
But this isn't the first time there has been a problem with secret deletings. Stone adds:
Amazon appears to have deleted other purchased e-books from Kindles recently. Customers commenting on Web forums reported the disappearance of digital editions of the Harry Potter books and the novels of Ayn Rand over similar issues.

"Fully half the quotations found on the internet are either mis-attributed, or outright fabrications." - Abraham Lincoln
You never saw this book you call 1984...
It is a delusion you created to fit your reality. Big brother is the only thing that is real. We can cure you so you will be better.
Pandacentricism will be our downfall.
George Orwells' "1984" Made for TV
A 1954 TV Production of George Orwells' novel "1984" A story about government surveillance and mind control where independent thinking and individualism is forbidden.
Animal Farm is probably next on their nix list...
Exercise Liberty.
America Rising.
The Constitution Stands.
"That the pen is mightier than the sword would be proven false; if I should take my sword and cut off the hand that holds the pen" - American Nomad
you do realize the movie 1984 is still available for free for Amazon Prime members right.
There is a lot more that goes into providing content then personal opinions. Amazon doesn't OWN publishing rights to the book most likely. They are bound by contracts, which as libertarians or anarchists we should respect. Now if you want to get into a copyrights debate, that is a diff story.
I would suggest the author of this article, try to find out the true reasons before making baseless accusations.
Amazon helps fund many sites people like us enjoy. Dailypaul is one of them. I click the amazon link from the DP on almost all my amazon purchases. At least when i can remember. Lew Rockwell's site is another one.
Question helps fund
Does Amazon really help fund or do they pay a commission on sales?
Big difference.
Are they are donating to Daily Paul?
all seem to be in it for themselves or they would be calling for
Release of Manning and freedom for Snowden.
I mean they have some of the smartest people on the planet working for them and if they aren't standing for truth!
What are they standing for?
At that point there is a argument for "are they evil?"
Just want what seems to be missing, Truth and Justice for ALL
What is fraud except creating "value" from nothing and passing it off as something?
do you really want to be nick pickler
so DP gets a commission, which in turn helps fund the site....
God forbid people get into volutary cooperative business relationships that have benefits for not just the parties involved directly but for people like you and I who use their services.
If you are so righteous, stop coming to the DP cause guess what, it is a salesmen for Amazon....give me a break.
Stop shooting yourself in the foot. And more importantly the rest of us.
Censored Free

"1984, the book someone somewhere wanted censored" :)
Screw Amazon anyways
get it for free at www.piratebay.com :-)
pirate bay is the easiest way to get flagged and a DMCA notice
there are many private torrent sites you can use.
iptorrents.com get an invite from someone.
1984 is already free without having to pirate anyway.
There is even a free audio version, apparently....But you might have to sub Audible...DERP
Sharing is caring Imagine,
Sharing is caring
Imagine, that, would be it, if all "federal" abiding book sellers under ORDERS stopped selling 1984, thats it, no more, its gone......
It's available for free in many different languages and formats on archive.org
Thanks for the redirect :)
thepiratebay.sx I agree,
I agree, screw Amazon, but don't pirate everything, it's good to give money to those that earned it.
End The Fed!

agree agree, but Orwell is dead now so... :)
Is this true? I went to look
Is this true? I went to look on Amazon kindle books and '1984' is sold now. If they did it, they've put it back on.
Amazon screwed up here, but...
The only copies they deleted were ones sold illegally by a company that didn't have rights to the book and sold them for $1. While they certainly should not have removed items from a person's Kindle, illegally acquired or not, the media misrepresented what happened here, implying that 1984 was being censored.
What Amazon should have done was work through legal channels to get the offending company prosecuted for illegal distribution of unlicensed materials. Instead, they attacked the consumers which was a mistake.
I like Amazon and I order from them all the time. As giant soulless corporations go, they are clearly one of the better ones out there. But, they should be focusing on the "dealers" here and not the "users".
FYI, this happened 4 years ago.
With liberty and justice for all...who can afford it.
Thanks for the reality check.
post is confusing imo,,what was the REASON
they were deleted??
"In this case, the mass
"In this case, the mass e-book removals were motivated by copyright . A company called MobileReference, who did not own the copyrights to the books 1984 and Animal Farm, uploaded both books to the Kindle store and started selling them. When the rights owner heard about this, they contacted Amazon and asked that the e-books be removed. And Amazon decided to erase them not just from the store, but from all the Kindles where they'd been downloaded. Amazon operators used the Kindle wireless network, called WhisperNet, to quietly delete the books from people's devices and refund them the money they'd paid."
It is a bit ironical, but come on, you make it sound like they deleted ALL copies everywhere. This was a copyright issue, and money was refunded. It is still available on the kindle store from a different publishing company
I didn't make it sound like anything
I posted a story.
If you're going to post a 4-year old story
Then post all of the details of it. Including the student who sued them for deleting 1984 and all of the digital notes he took. BTW, there are plenty of ways to avoid having things deleted from your Kindle, including backing them up elsewhere. I use a Sony device that allows me to only sync what I want, and has never deleted anything from my device without my consent.
With liberty and justice for all...who can afford it.
