Briton cheated APPLE nearly 30 000 pounds

We are accustomed to the fact that customers usually suffer from life support, including from the “apple.” And here in the UK it happened exactly the opposite – “apple” support suffered by the client. An enterprising young man trusting Apple earned nearly 30 000 pounds sterligs.

Briton Edward Hornsey use the program return the broken iPhone, to return the “apple” of the company’s 51 device and get new ones instead, according to The Daily Mirror. Ingenious plan originated in the mind of a young man after he learned that Apple does not track how many iPhone users back. Hornsey decided to start buying for a used iPhone and exchange them for new ones. The idea worked! New product Briton marketed on eBay and other online sites, receiving from 50 to 100 pounds of net profit from one iPhone, and eventually earning £ 27,453.

All went well until one of smartphones not lit up in a police base in the case of a robbery. For fraud Edward Hornsey appeared before the court. “Every time renting iPhone, he left his exact precise data,” – said in his defense lawyer. “If people like you were completely honest, the theft of smartphones would be much less,” – concluded the judge.

Of course, this fraudulent scheme is unlikely to have worked in Russia. We Apple has become known as a company with questionable quality of service. Recall, the story of a woman from Omsk, who bought a defective iPhone in December 6 and was able to resolve situtsiyu only through the courts as much as six months later!

US authorities ICANN no longer control the Internet

Fadi Chehade, head of the non-profit organization ICANN, said that Corporation for Assigned Names and IP-address can be privatized before the end of the year and will be released from the control of the US government. Comments Shehadeh against the privatization of the organization, despite criticism in the US Congress, have been made public, although some US lawmakers continue to actively resist what Washington will no longer play a key role in determining the policies ICANN.

Shehadeh stresses that all the components required to implement a new scheme of strategic management will be taken into account, and in the next few weeks, the organization is going to get approval from the representatives of various countries of the world. Recall now between ICANN and the US Department of Commerce awarded the contract, which expires on September 30, 2015. Shehadeh does not intend to renew it and to conclude a new agreement with the US authorities following the privatization.

Recall, ICANN was created with the active support of the US Department of Commerce in 1998. Currently, the management of organization considers more promising transformation largest regulator of domain names in the Internet in a public company with international support.

The head of ICANN said:

“When we started, we’ve heard a lot of allegations that the UN will take on this task, or China will get a piece of the Internet. There were also threats, and discussions in the context of defensive strategies. “

MICROSOFT tell what threatens PIRACY WINDOWS 10

Microsoft has today officially announced the release of Windows 10 in the summer, as well as spoke about the strategic partnership with Chinese companies, which should “help fight piracy,” actively thriving in China. Then we say that Microsoft will update free even pirated copies of Windows to 10, and now the head of Windows-division of Microsoft, Terry Myerson (Terry Myerson) told how the update will occur in the case of legal and pirated systems.

According to the position of Microsoft, the owners of legitimate copies of Windows 7 and 8.1 will receive an upgrade to Windows 10 absolutely free. After the upgrade, the users will get all the new features and security improvements free of charge, “all the time to support this device.” What exactly does the last word (while the device is broken or perhaps on the warranty?), He has not explained.

If Microsoft detects the interference of one kind or another in – simply finds a copy of Windows that is obtained illegally – appears on the desktop watermark, which informs the buyer that he installed an illegal copy. Terry Myerson asks users to pay attention to this when purchasing new devices and to avoid the acquisition of gadgets with Windows 10, which is present on the desktop watermark.

“Black Label» Microsoft is lack of support from the company and its partners face not receiving updates, even critical security updates. Microsoft emphasizes that the free update is still not available to users of illegal copies of the system, but the software giant with partners promises to offer “very attractive” terms of the transition to a licensed version of Windows 10.

No further action seems to be taken will be. At Microsoft, probably we decided to limit the copy of the operating system, which has been identified as a pirate, does not make sense. At this time, it seems, did not deprive the screensaver on your desktop.

In the “very attractive” for certain conditions for transition hides paid upgrade to Windows 10. What will be the amount that has not been revealed, but we can assume that Microsoft will not ask for that much money. This idea suggests a recent statement that Windows 10 will be the last version of the OS and will be improved on the basis of service. One of the possible options for the monetization of Windows 10 is the introduction of a subscription to that previously hinted Microsoft COO Kevin Turner (Kevin Turner). That would be a logical step, given the plans for the gradual improvement of the system. The amount of the transition from a pirated copy will likely be comparable to the amount of the subscription for a short time, because the user will have in the future to make money all the time – it is to this and seeks to Microsoft.
