I also have never used a case on my iPhone(s). I've kept them in my left pocket with nothing else. I've dropped them on occasion but, as yet, they are fine. They aren't as fragile as the prevailing thought, or case manufacturers, would have you believe.
As to the other, you'd have to ask my girlfriend. It's not my place to comment
Except those of us old enough to remember the Microsoft bailout.... When Apple clearly didnt know what they were doing but instead were rehashing product lines over and over...
~sigh~ It wasn't a bail-out it was a a deal whereby MS got access to Apple's patents and Apple got to $150m and a promise to maintain development of Office on the Mac. The money wasn't a token amount, what was important was the statement from Microsoft that they thought that Apple would be around for a while.
Apple didn't know what they were doing at the time. Jobs had a vision though and the commitment from Microsoft gave him breathing room to release the iMac. The rest is history.
~sigh~ this is addressed in the first paragraph of the article. I guess it was too easy just to jump on that fairly minor point though rather than actually comment on the article at length. Slashdot at it's worst.
~sigh~ have you read the article. KDE/Linux doesn't have the image formats built into the OS. It's one of the things OS X does right.
Don't worry about it and drop back. As long as you're keeping speed does it matter?
Stopping someone cutting in front is a pretty bone-headed excuse for tailgating.
You have a great luxury in that the police and security services have been effective to date in keeping terrorism under control with a fairly regular series of arrests and convictions. That can change, just ask the Iraqis. They thought they had terrorism under control and now it may be spiraling out of control. At its height, there were probably tens of bombs going off daily around the country. Things are bad enough now they would like the US to come back.
Have we? Who can say? Without information being open for public scrutiny we have only the police and security services word on this to know if they have in fact kept terrorism under control. With all of the powers in place they seemed to miss a fairly obvious suspect that was involved in the Boston Marathon bombing. Was this an aberration or about par for the course? We just don't know.
By all means keep currently operational information secret but allow review of past operations, both successes and failures. It would increase public support and security. The idea that things have to be kept secret so as not to reveal operational information to terrorists is security through obscurity, such a thing only protects against the ignorant. I suggest that terrorist organisations, rather than individuals, already know how they were caught before and will update their procedures accordingly.
I wish I had mod-points right now.
Instead they are planning on sinking 10x the amount into high speed rail that won't compete with current airline times and prices. This is as much a call on sense of the high speed rail programme as it is the proposal itself.
I believe it's spelled moron. But regardless, the whole concept of this system is to keep a consistent flow of traffic a high speeds. Slowing down for turns would break that model and could create congestion. Hence me question.
If its necessary to slow down at specific spots then the traffic pattern can be adjusted to manage this. Hint: closed systems are very easy to model. You get congestion because of changes in the traffic pattern. All other travel systems are subject to weather effect which disrupt the normal operations and generate congestion.
Happens to run on the hardware I have lying around.
The whole article is just a big load of crap written by an Apple fanboy.. What innovation? show me some real innovation by apple which wasn't ripped from others..
Show me some real innovation invented by anyone that wasn't based on the work of others.
Anyone who thinks that iOS 7 is nothing more than a graphical change is an idiot who isn't keeping up with the technical changes going on. This is a classic case of ignoring the facts when they don't fit the narrative you want to use as an argument. What a moron.
This is just a journalist re-treading the old "Apple is doomed" meme because Apple work at Apple's pace. They will release something when they are ready to release it. It's how they work.
> "Apple is prepping big pushes into wearable electronics and televisions, both of
> which could prove lucrative strategies if executed correctly."
AKA a Microsoft-like "Mee Toooo!", but of Google.
Google did not invent wearable electronics.
They're a "Me Too-er" as well.
Wash your mouth out! Everyone knows that its Apple that doesn't invent anything and copies things. Google never copies anything. That would be evil
Looks more to me like the 3-letter agencies have decided to BREAK THE LAW.
Its an interesting debate. What law has been broken?
I'm pretty sure that with the Patriot Act at its back the FBI can justify the actions they've taken against peoples committing crimes in the US. There will be sufficient wriggle room in there for a good lawyer to argue their case. What is needed is a ruling. Something that's not been tested in court yet. The various Snowden revelations won't see their day in court due to the nature of the material released. A paedophile case would see court which would help determine the exact reach of the law.
The law is not, except in simple cases, a black and white thing. There are generally arguments around specific points and its the judgements around these that determine what is and is not legal.
And you think everyone can crack WPA2 ?
MAC filtering is usually good enough when you live in a small village.
Not everybody is an IT specialist there you know, barely anyone knows what "kismet" mean.
I'm not saying you should MAC address filtering anyway as it's very unsafe and it's a pity to setup, I'm just stating the facts.
The point is that MAC filtering doesn't add anything over and above WPA2. It doesn't need everyone to be an IT specialist in your small village, it just needs one person. If they are competent enough to be able to crack WPA2 then the additional measures won't be beyond them.
Its the thing about security. It has to be good all of the time. It only takes a single breach to undo it.
Oh, so there you are!
