But then they rolled over for India, of all places, trading backdoors for market share.
Citation needed.
Just because you heard it somewhere doesn't mean it's true. There are no backdoors for the BES system. The customer generates their own keys. BlackBerry doesn't have access to them.
People are starting to draw back from the overwhelming complexity in all things.
Huh??? Using a record player is way more complicated than using digital media. Plus there's virtually no care or preparation for digital media, unlike vinyl.
who is this "us" he is talking about? because with just a little thought, you quickly realized these "billions of dollars" are just transfers from the (assumed) wealthy building owners to the less wealthy contractors and workers.
one person's cost is another's paycheck and kids tuition payment.
if the public good is really being served here by improving safety of citizens, why isn't the discussion framed more along these lines?
Where do you think these contractors/workers live and work? In buildings where the owners and renters will be forced to pay for these improvements.
Stop acting like only the rich will pay for it. Everyone will pay for it. Most people won't be able to afford it. If it becomes mandatory people will be forced to move out of the city due to the cost. Everyone will pay.
You can do caching, proxying, firewalling, parental control, etc with HTTPS. Create a certificate on those boxes and push it out to the client devices. You can then see all encrypted traffic. Problem solved.
Wasn't stuff like this supposed to be prevented by having a walled garden?
Since multiple governments mandate that Blackberry share back doors with them, it's not clear to me what benefit more encryption will really add. Won't they be sharing keys with governments (and thus potentially hackers can get the same data)?
The only secure encryption is end to end encryption where you understand and actively control/limit how the key transmission works.
This is a blatant lie. BES controls encryption from end-to-end. BB/RIM does not have the ability to see any traffic other than the encrypted traffic.
We are basking in the glory of a transparent government. Thanks, Obama!
Turn off wi-fi. Done.
You can be tracked anywhere anytime you're using a communication radio. Deal with it.
...Obama has no leadership experience at all. He procrastinates making decisions, and when shit fails he blames someone else. He's never accountable for anything.
Who would have thought that a community organizer and a state senator with a record number of "present votes" can't lead.
Weird.
The Canadian government has already said they will not allow the sale of BB to the Chinese.
really? 5+? How many of them are on the same backbone?
None of them share a backbone. And our population is 26,000.
Wrong. Aid workers from the US could return if they go through quarantine. And throughout that process they would receive our best medical care. However, having unrestricted travel between countries when there is a plague on the loose is moronic.
Moronic... an opinion morons have.
Really? You don't think the people that want to get to the United States are going to travel somewhere else first and then simply go to the US from there? Thus, if they are infected, spreading the disease even further? Or simply trek to the nearest nation they can travel around from?
Call names all you want, that seems to be the method employed by the people promoting the travel ban option. That and batshit insane fear mongering.
Or...you know....look at their travel history before letting them in the US. Isn't that the job of customs at the airports?
You might want look up the definition of monopoly. A government run Internet is a monopoly. I have 5+ choices for Internet access (all private companies) in my *small* town. That's not a monopoly.
The article even admits that it's all government run. Which means its most likely all subsidized by their massive taxes. The government shouldn't be providing services that can be done by the private sector.
For all of the marketing, cutting edge...
I stopped reading there. Apple is many things, but cutting edge is not one of them. There is nothing revolutionary about the iPhone 6. Android phones already had the majority of Apple's new features 2 years ago....and so did poor BlackBerry.
What??? They clearly stated that hiring H-1B Visa workers creates more jobs. What more proof do you need???
