what steps would one need to take to avoid having such spyware installed onto their phones? and is there any way to know if such spyware is already installed on one's device?

asking for a friend.

Reuters had a choice to reword the article (like some other media houses in OP's link have done) or retract the article. they have chosen to do the latter.

the core difference is that choice. had the court deemed that the article should have been taken down, Reuters wouldn't have even had that choice.

getting mad at the court in this case is akin to getting mad at the car that a drunk driver drove into a house. sure, it has been the proximal instrument of destruction, but it wasn't the one who veered off the road.

blame the leeching lawyers here.

just a minor clarification. the court did not order the article to he taken down. the court just said that the article constitutes defamation.

it was Reuter's decision to therefore take down the article. in OP's first link, there's info of other media houses that have also pulled such stories.

blame the scummy lawyers protecting the scumbag and his predatory behaviour.

from what one hears about the pressure of these exams, i dont think the reasons for those measures are as wholesome as assumed in this comment.

these exams are amongst the most competitive in the world and their outcome provides only a single window which dictates the rest of your life. that is not a system worth boasting about.

you do know that you could have made your point in a nicer manner, yes? why would we want to bring the strenuous tones of hollow outrage from reddit to here?

we are all better than that, even the big danish guys.

simon tatham's puzzles.

ah, so i guess it's alright to follow stark signals when it comes to traffic; just not when it comes to the survival of the species.

i dunno, it's always the little things that make one smirk.

and take care of your liver.

Prem Sikka in hindi literally translates to "love coin".

that headline really weirds one out with that reading.

OP, you need to apologise for your slight against lord greg davies.

i don't think they are miners. more like a construction workforce who were trapped in the very tunnel they were setting up.

there are no mines there.

check "standby apps" settings for these apps within developer settings. you may want to change it to "active".

more than that, dots don't matter in gmail. bill.gates@gmail.com is the same as billgates@gmail.com, or as b.i.l.l.g.a.t.e.s@gmail.com. they all funnel into the id with which yiu had signed up.

this allows you to put various permutations of your email id for varioua online services.

the iphone 5s was the best form factor for a smartphone for me. the mini is the closest thing we have to that.

maybe it's waiting for you to tock?

you're lucky. in my country one can't get a dumb tv bigger than 32". nobody sells it. not online, not in brick and mortar stores.

is that the famous spoonbill?

one wouldn't think an Arsenal fan would say so. not after the last two transfer windows.

hasn't the efficacy of this been called into question?

apparently, as a test, they scanned a business czar's chest. it showed nothing.

then they scanned a politician's head. again, nothing.
