Submission + - Is Apple Doubling Down on Secrecy - Again? (ibtimes.co.uk)

Submitted by DavidGilbert99
DavidGilbert99 writes: Tim Cook quite clearly during Apple's latest earnings call this week that it would not launch new hardware, software or services until "the fall" meaning there would be at least a ten month gap between the launch of the iPad mini and whatever is next from Apple. Is this just a change of tactic from the Cupertino company, or is Tim Cook trying to re-instill a sense of mystery and secrecy around the company, having lost that over the last 18 months?

HTC Does What Google Wouldn't: Sell an LTE Phone That Sidesteps AT&T 290

Posted by Soulskill from the three-letter-acronyms dept.
schwit1 writes "You won't see it advertised on billboards or television, you won't hear it mentioned in a carrier store, and your less technologically-savvy friends most certainly won't know about it — but quietly, HTC's done something extraordinarily important this month: it's broken AT&T's stranglehold on its nationwide LTE network. It's a move that even Google, for all its money, power, and influence, didn't make with the Nexus 4. HTC is shipping both 32GB and 64GB versions of the One — an early contender for the best phone of 2013 — in a carrier- and bootloader-unlocked version that supports both T-Mobile and AT&T LTE. No strings attached."

It's a move that even Google, for all its money, power, and influence, didn't make with the Nexus 4.

HTC is shipping both 32 and 64GB versions of the superlative One — an early contender for the best phone of 2013, and arguably the best Android phone ever made — in a carrier- and bootloader-unlocked version that supports both T-Mobile and AT&T LTE. No strings attached.

The current generation MBP has user replaceable RAM and storage. You're confusing the current generation MBP with Macbook Airs and Retina Macbook Pro. Apple even has a support document on the site "MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory" that covers the current generation MBP introduced in June 2012 (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1270).

The photos are only 2D -- in some cases as low resolution as 1.2 megapixels. It is only the actual snowflakes themselves that are 3D as opposed to the standard 2D-like images of snowflakes we normally see. To print actual snowflakes in 3D will require different equipment and another method of photography.

As far as #D fractal software, there doesn't seem to be a shortage.

Submission + - NASA Tightens Security in Response to Insider Threat (informationweek.com) 1

CowboyRobot writes: "NASA has closed down its technical reports database and imposed tighter restrictions on remote access to its computer systems following the arrest of a Chinese contractor on suspicion of intellectual property theft. NASA administrator Charles Bolden outlined those and other security measures in March 20 testimony before a congressional subcommittee. Bolden said he had ordered a review of the access that foreign nationals from designated countries — including China, Iran and North Korea — are given to NASA facilities and a moratorium on providing new access to citizens of those countries. The agency's actions follow the March 16 arrest of Bo Jiang, a Chinese citizen, at Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C., as he prepared to leave the United States. The FBI, in its application for an arrest warrant, said it was investigating violations of the Arms Export Control Act."

Comment Headline and Summary Mismatch (Score 5, Informative) 252

Wouldn't a better headline be "IE 11 user agent string changes from MSIE to IE," since most of the summary is about that?
The headline isn't even discussed in the summary.
However, it's obvious the standard ability of browsers to report a different user agent for dev and testing has been sensationalized here just for click generation.
