So how does "Researcher Adam Langley" get access to the code in order to do "an analysis of the vulnerable code in OS X"?
Do these experts have access to the source via some agreement with the vendor?
I've seen the Beta and don't like it. I've seen several comments saying there are other places to go for tech news/discussions. What are these other sites?
I've not seen a tech news site with lively discussions and it's the discussions I'm interested in. I've learned more from the discussions here on (old) Slashdot than the stories.
What are some tech news/discussion websites I should check out?
I feel safer already!
A few times I've heard an Irish use the term "gobshite" and I wasn't sure what it meant 'till today.
Well, I sure missed *that* call.
If you're referring to the MOTOPHONE F3, that's not what you want. I have one & everything is fine untill you actually start talking on it, then the battery drops very quickly. It's a mystery to me how such a simple phone can have such lousy talk time.
I remember when SuSE was one of the only distros, perhaps the only one, which used reiserfs as the default filesystem. No, there's no punchline. This was when you could buy it in a box (including the little chamelon pin) off the shelf at CompUSA. SuSE has always had a fascination with new filesystems.
I have 3 USR Sportsters, 2 USR Couriers, and a Multitech Multimodem (the one with the LCD status display). What I don't have is a live phone line to connect them to.
Last month if someone said they had an iPhone you knew what they were talking about. Different generations, sure, but you knew it was arguably the finest device Apple had ever made, within each generation.
Next month when someone says they have an iPhone the first question will be, "Do you have the cheap one, or the good one?"
Well, yes & no. Sometimes the equipment is used/returned/refurbed, sometimes not. When Apple puts a new model in the stores, it is introduced in every Apple store on the planet the same day. What happened to the "old" model which was here yesterday? They were all shipped back to Apple, where they were reboxed in plain white boxes & will be sold as "refurbs". So, at the Apple store, "refurbished" does not necessarily mean "used".
Point taken, & I agree. If it was mine, I'd rom it to Cyanogenmod. But my point was that... well I think you know my point. Anyway... good shot!
I can pop the back of a Galaxy S4, slide in a microSD memory card & replace the battery - all without tools. That's why the Samsung phones have become the default geek Android phones (well, that & they are also easily rooted) even more-so than the latest Nexus devices. With the latest quad-core devices having enough power to run Touch-Wiz seamlessly (from what I've seen in-store, anyway) they are very nice out-of-box, even without root.
That's interesting. I have an old Nexus S running CM10 which I plug into an Apple charging cube & I've never seen that. The Apple charger is ~2 years old, I wonder if they've changed something.
