Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

In each case, the party exposing others to risk is doing so for their own gain - you for convenience and the tablet manufacturer for profit. If benefits exceed costs in both cases, there is no fundamental difference. If costs exceed benefits in one case and not the other, there is a difference.
