in general, Nokia needs to find a clear direction and stick to it.
If you read TFA, you'll find that that is exactly what Nokia have been doing. The direction, however is "down".
Initially I thought 'what a good idea', just implemented poorly due to the low quality of the models. But thinking about it some more I think the whole study is misguided.
I suppose they used generic grey models to avoid complicating the issue and becoming unable to attribute what is sexy and what isn't, but doesn't that kind of defy the point? And surely there are enough unique people in the world to find a good example of every body type / combination of body features that they want to test for?
In general terms, used properly, a Windows system running without an antivirus package is adequately secure.
The problem is that Windows users tend to have terrible security hygiene. They turn security features off, never update, and click the dancing bunnies. That's a separate, social issue. Never try to apply a technical solution to a social problem.
I agree with your overall point, but this argument doesn't hold much weight. If people are going to click it anyway, why not provide them with some sort of protection, even if it's not perfect?
It's like saying, in an uppity British lord accent, "Condoms? I have no need for the finickity things, and nor should anyone, poor or not! After all, I stay clean! Why aren't the rest of you as clean as me? Buck up I say, tally ho, pip pip".
That website has been known to be wrong on a regular basis.
Perhaps, but we all keep coming back to its all-too-familiar teal glow now don't we?
CC thieves are thieves. They don't point a gun at you, but the end result is the same thing.
