Even better is if *I* can get a copy of your information and correct it, just as with your credit reports.

That it is not accurate for you is half of the point. The people / processes that rely on that data will insist that it is perfect.

I can call the police and fabricate an accusation of rape against you. With any form of evidence, they can and will arrest you. When my rouse is discovered, the charges will be dismissed immediately, and I'll be in trouble, blah blah blah... but meanwhile, YOUR arrest record will be entered into the local and national databases as a felony/sex/violent crime.

And for the rest of your life, you will be subject to Felony Stop procedures any time a cop pulls you over.

See the problem? Database isn't accurate, but every player involved on that database-side has no incentive to challenge it. The cops on the beat will want to know you're a probable felon, right? Who's going to be dumb enough to remove that data record?

Even better, since you'd now be tagged as a not-yet-convicted sex offender, and nobody is going to remove *that* record, either. The database... is perfect.

Be VERY careful with such devices, especially ones purchased off of less reputable sites like Craigslist. The bulk of the units there are dysfunctional prototypes, left over from the '90s... you guessed it, they are cheap because they are NOT Y2K compatible. Some sadist planted a few at the ATM-stations of my local bank the other day, it made filling out a deposit slip very humorous to watch.

Also note that some others out there are cheap knock-offs that look real, but are in fact missing most of the standard core fonts, or have deliberate errors in their spellcheck dictionaries.

Well, Apple is just going back to it's roots - "Computers for the Rest of Us". You know, the ones too stupid to handle a two button mouse.

It's pretty sad when the core premise behind your purchase decision is that you're a simpleton. It gets more sad when there's an entire market of such people, and a company can reach Apple's size by selling to it based on that premise. And it makes me vomit that the definition of "Genius" has been lowered to that of some f*wad tier-1 tech support who demonstrates a no-help-needed userland app.

I can put anything I want into your dropbox account and it will magically appear on every machine you've linked it to.
I can edit anything I want in your dropbox account and THAT will magically appear on every machine you've linked it to.

You are clueless as to what I can do to someone if I have that ability. I think it's safe to add yourself to the pool of people with no idea of what they are doing.

> 1. There are huge patches of scrub-land in the southwestern states California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Texas, that would be absolutely perfect for huge solar arrays, and nobody would notice their existence.

Is that before or after the yearly wildfire turns them to dust. Again.

**whoosh**

Absolutely, but only if they use HTML5 via 4G network.

No, you forget to say "See you at CES , E3 , Pax East .?"

...duh? really?

But... WARCRAFT ADDONS are in LUA also!

Clearly, the attackers are trying to sneak in things like Recount and Gearscore to see how they compare, FFS!

It does NOT yield that answer if you turn off the "BistroMath" option.

..."Dude, You’re a Barista..."

Not true. Apple knows full well that such vulnerabilities exist. But airhead customers mean that Apple need not worry about them.

If you've been convincing idiots that The Emperor is Wearing Beautiful Clothes for well over a decade, why the hell would you spend a single dime on silk or thread? Security is a *perception*, not a reality. Apple has sold that perception, and a quick glance at the comments shows that the idiots are fully vested in it, some going so far as to base their self-esteem / social posture on it.

Defense?

How exactly does MS's strategy for the migration of decades of legacy software relate to Apple finally being called out for having Oracle-style security responses and procedures?
