Ya I've heard mixed information on whether NFC is on by default or not. Either way there's still a web exploit on both which means Android is at best no more secure, and at worse, less.
It is indeed. The difference is your average Joe is fairly likely to know now that he shouldn't click on a link from an unknown address, or his email AV will have sanitized it first. Even if he keeps NFC turned off most of the time (which is not the default) he'll still have to turn it on to, for example, pay for something, and I think that's when it will be most dangerous.
The idea being that it's ok to have an insecure wireless interface on your smartphone as long as you don't have to be *too* close to it for it to work?
NFC stations are not usually on other people, they're in stores and random other places that entice you to use it. A hacked or augmented genuine NFC reader could be made to steal your data, for example.
They both have web exploits but the Android variety can be triggered simply by being nearby an attacker. The iOS one needs a tricked user.
They're just dropdowns, works fine.
Totally agree.
On it.
If people expect treating each other like strangers on the subway will make a better workplace, and if the company only promotes lax, lazy, quiet, and completely unstimulating environment - well, i can understand the divas better then the people that fail to *care*.
Hear, hear!
UK "justice" is pretty messed up - a private entity can prosecute individuals.
Ars has a great article about how FACT put the owner of SurfTheChannel behind bars for four years. Maybe this is why UKNova are complying with these idiots.
This should be +5, best post here.
You can opt out in OSX. Search Gatekeeper.
Now if I was either too lazy or unskilled to properly secure my hardware I have the right to allow some other company to do it for me by creating a 'walled garden' as it were, but I should always have the right to say screw you I want to run this program anyways, acknowledging the risks involved.
Sounds like Gatekeeper on OSX.
No need: I'm sure your customers were happy, not complaining about not having enough cores. Yet there were people out there who did want more and indeed there were machines with more than that. My laptop runs 1366 too but I can certainly imagine a number of reasons someone might want a larger and/or higher DPI screen.
As for snobby, you're the one who thinks you know more about selling machines than Apple. I think they might have sold a few more than you.
I'm sure it functions but scaling bitmaps to non-native resolutions is really not an ideal solution to higher DPI.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
