Joining such establishments as various Smithsonian Museums and other cultural institutions, as well as the Kentucky Derby, music festivals and the Palace of Versailles, Apple is not about to let a whole slew of people swing poles around at WWDC.
“You may not use selfie sticks or similar monopods” at the event, Apple’s policy reads (via CNNMoney), without stating why exactly they’re prohibited. “Any attendee conducting these activities may be removed from WWDC.”
There’s also a ban on professional photography and wearable GoPro cameras, though as long as you’re not waving a selfie stick in the air, personal shots and selfies are fine. You know, for that moment when you want to show everyone a bunch of heads facing forward while you take a close-up of your face.

The case could now result in multiple indictments, says the sheriff at the head of the case looking into who lifted the heavy barrels from Buffalo Trace Distillery, reports the Associated Press.
Several law enforcement agencies are now looking for possible accomplices, according to Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton.
“There are several people that are suspects that are involved in it, and we would anticipate moving forward with this case,” he said.
He called off a news conference planned for today, saying investigators had uncovered a new lead that will delay the original case from going to the grand jury, but did say it would head there as soon as next week.
“We just had a major development today that has opened up a couple more doors for us, and we’re going to follow up on that,” the sheriff said.
One suspect who worked for Buffalo Trace Distillery has been arrested in connection to the theft, and he pleaded not guilty to offenses including receiving stolen property worth more than $10,000.
Each barrel stolen was valued at around $3,000 each, and were found abandoned behind a shed with spray paint covering each label. The owner of Wild Turkey said it didn’t appear that anyone had broken into the warehouse where the bourbon was aging, before it was slated to become Wild Turkey 101.
This isn’t the first time the state has had to deal with bourbon thievery — though the case of a famous Pappy Van Winkle theft back in 2013 still remains unsolved.

Verizon Wireless published the analysis on their website last Friday, and it’s a gem. Or at least, a highly polished turd.
The analyst’s real, actual argument is this: if data caps went away, everyone would use more data. If everyone used more data, mobile companies would have to upgrade their networks. If mobile companies upgraded their networks, they’d have to spend money. And if they had to spend money, they’d recoup it by upping customers’ bills.
So you see, data caps are for you, the customer, to prevent your monthly wireless bill from its inevitable upward creep.
“While unlimited data may sound attractive,” the analyst concludes, “there is no practical effect of data limits on the majority of users.”
That last part is in fact true. Most users don’t come anywhere close to maxing out their mobile data plans. Pretty much everyone flicks their phone over to wifi the second they get home, and again any time they are hanging out someplace with a wifi hotspot. Not only will it save money for the cost-conscious customer, but also wifi networks are generally faster and more reliable than mobile ones, even as 4G LTE buildouts continue.
But if those data caps don’t actually affect anyone, why do we need them again? Consumers already aren’t using that data, so removing limits that to most people are hypothetical anyway will somehow… magically increase the use of data?
Realistically, we have data caps because they generate revenue, of course. Not only in overage costs for low-limit plans, but also in monthly costs for high-limit plans that cautious consumers buy and then don’t really use the bulk of.
Wireless broadband is still a more limited and more easily-congested resource than wired, it’s true. Mobile companies do need to have smart policies in place for making sure all their customers can access the services they pay for. But data caps are neither smart nor responsive policies; they’re money-making tools and marketing gimmicks.
Mobile companies’ own actions show just how pointless their data caps are. AT&T joined Verizon years back in killing unlimited data plans, only to provide them again on a limited basis to new customers.
T-Mobile unveiled a data rollover plan late last year, with AT&T following suit in January. (Verizon has no intention of following suit.) Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile have all been falling over themselves to increase the data available to their subscribers.
Yes, all of the mobile companies are consistently building out their networks — but none of them have magically doubled the available spectrum capacity. They’re just all finding new ways to attract customers with promises of data that only a small fraction of consumers will ever actually use.
Verizon is not only a fan of data caps not only on their wireless service, but also on residential wired broadband — even though the usage management case is much less strong there. Cable industry execs are even on the record saying that home service it’s explicitly not about easing congestion, but about making more money.
Meanwhile, the high costs and low data caps applied to mobile broadband still prevent it from being a truly competitive option for most consumers. If mobile is going to be the competition savior that everyone keeps claiming it is, we’re going to have to get beyond the data cap world.
The customer mailing lists are part of a planned auction in May of RadioShack’s intellectual property. You can see those assets listed on the website of liquidator Hilco Streambank: their intellectual property, in this case, includes things like the RadioShack brand name, the RadioShack.com e-commerce platform and a few hundred associated domain names, the chain’s proprietary brands, their product-sourcing relationships in Asia, their network of around 1,000 dealers and franchisees, and their patents and patent applications. Oh, yeah, and then there’s “Over 13MM E-Mail Addresses” and “Over 65MM Customer Name and Physical Address Files.”
There’s an independent consumer privacy ombudsman appointed for this auction, and her job is to evaluate the implications of a possible sale of that customer data. The attorney general of Texas, current home state of RadioShack, is way ahead of her on that, though: his office called the world’s attention to the possible sale of customer data, and has now brought it back to the court’s attention even though the company hasn’t yet announced that the data is for sale. It could be for sale, raising privacy issues for consumers and possible legal issues based on the Shack’s privacy policy at the time the data was collected.

The woman took her son to see Home on Sunday, a movie about a girl and an alien who become friends, reports WKMG.com.
But she says she was outraged after a Revlon commercial was shown minutes before the movie, recording the ad on her phone to show it to management.
“I would expect to see that before I saw 50 Shades of Grey, not Home with my children,” she said. “There was kissing, touching, it was very suggestive. Just had no place to be played before a children’s movie.”
She adds that her son was confused, and was unsure if they were in the right movie. She called the theater, thinking perhaps it was a mistake, and claims whoever she spoke to was very “flippant” about the situation.
Epic Theatres runs the establishment, and issued a statement saying: “EPIC Theatres apologizes for the programming error. The ad was removed as soon as we became aware of the situation.”
Revlon told WKMG that the company would never pay for its ads to air before a kids’ movie, and appreciate Epic’s apology.

After a federal agency like the FCC creates a new rule and publishes it in the Federal Record, the Congressional Review Act gives Congress 60 days to issue a joint resolution that “Congress disapproves the rule.”
If it garners enough support in the House, it can move on to expedited review in the Senate. However, the joint resolution would still be subject to Presidential veto, so this appears to be more partisan chest-thumping rather than any sort of viable response from neutrality opponents in the legislature.
Congressman Doug Collins of Georgia officially introduced the resolution [PDF] on Monday, and was joined by 13 other members of the House, most importantly Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia.
Goodlatte isn’t just the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, he’s also a friend to the telecom, cable, and electronics industry, which has funded him well. The list of top donors to his campaign committee and leadership PAC is a who’s who of these companies, like Comcast ($39,700), Cox ($29,500), National Cable & Telecommunications Association ($20,000), and AT&T ($20,000), among others. Goodlatte was also one of the lawmakers behind the failed and controversial Stop Online Piracy Act.
In fact, Rep. Goodlatte will be honored this evening in D.C. by the Consumer Electronics Association at its annual Digital Patriots dinner.
Also signing on to the resolution are Reps. Steve Chabot (OH), Lynn Westmoreland (GA), Glenn Grothman (WI), Bill Posey (FL), Rick Allen (GA), Ryan Zinke (MT), Barry Loudermilk (GA), Sam Johnson (TX), Dennis Ross (FL), Buddy Carter (GA) and Vern Buchanan (FL).
Austin “Jack” DeCoster and his son, Peter DeCoster were looking at a much longer sentence on charges of shipping adulterated food after pleading guilty last June, reports the Des Moines Register, and will now stay free a bit longer as they appeal the three-month sentence.
Though they didn’t want to go to jail at all — naturally — U.S. District Judge Mark Bennett seemed to side with prosecutors who said a tough punishment was necessary because of how far flung the outbreak was. Officially, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control linked 1,939 illnesses to the outbreak, but officials say up to 56,000 people could’ve been sickened.
Investigators think the DeCosters knew their egg operations were susceptible to salmonella contamination before the outbreak began.
Quality Egg has fessed up to having workers knowingly ship eggs with fake processing and expiration dates to slip them bast state regulators, and in turn, trick customers into thinking that the eggs were younger than they really were. The company also bribed a U.S. Department of Agriculture inspector at least twice to approve sales of poor-quality eggs.
