I thought the poetic part was that the German economy was the only one in the Euro where people might actually be able to afford an iPhone/Pad.

I think it might depend on how the company is viewed in the industry. Will you gain some street-cred by releasing it as open-source after your initial advantage is becoming less relevant? Perhaps there is an option to open-source the code after it's been in the wild for some time, and the company has new and better secrets to push their latest products?

You do realise that half the world could die from a virus like this without anybody from America ever being infected, right?

That's an awesome idea. I'd be keen on getting the free Lithium battery that comes with it too!

Also from tfa, keeping the phone > 3 inches from the keyboard also prevents it, and I assume different desk surfaces, types of wood/steel, keyboard material, type of keyboard (laptop keyboards?), keyboard trays, paper lying on a users desk and other sources of vibration interference also defeats this attack. It's almost laughable they bother suggesting setting extra permissions for the accelerometer's sample rate, when so many things need to fall into place for this to have a chance of revealing anything of value in the first place.

This is EXACTLY how I feel as a 28 year old. Should I see a doctor?

I'm sure the IP Lawyers and Patent Attorneys are making far to much money to ever let that happen.

I guess we'll have to wait and see the results. You may find their children tested better than yours. Will you still accuse them of cheating then?

That's because the Chinese are smarter, and their steps forward are quicker, hence they skipped the "F117" step. Their children pay attention in school. Yours don't.

That's an interesting point, I wonder (if that were the case) what their position would be if you have a netbook with a cellular device built-in, and use it for voice and data? Would your data end up getting blocked because of a non-mobile user agent?
