When they decided to make it exclusive to apple devices while ignoring the much bigger android market.
The Android marketplace already had their shot...and only grazed the target. When Apple Pay becomes bigger, it will likely lift Android purchases as well. It's the retailers grouping together with alternatives like Current-C that will hamper all other payment methods.
And be prepared for the guy inline in front of you to be messing around with his phone while he is trying to pay.
"Oh just a second, trying to get a connection." "Oh wait, need to reboot phone." etc.
Although I see your point with many smartphones (and users), you don't need a phone connection to make purchases with Apple Pay.
She was a largely incompetent CEO.
WTF skills does she thinks she brings to the table as a fscking President?
Pretty much her entire time at HP was marked with terrible decisions, bad planning, and disastrous outcomes.
Well, I guess that's no different from Presidents, really.
And thankfully she left Lucent Technologies before doing the same to it! (Though to be fair it happened to us anyway).
PC is the best then PS4 then Xbox One. I guess hardware does matter when it comes to gaming. Anyone else not surprised? As for Xbox, it looks like they will be behind until the next generation unless they update the hardware. The ESRAM buffer does not seem to be making up the gap as they hoped it would.
Only behind (in graphics) to PS4 owners. Hardware is virtually the same.
with it's payed developer program. Why they h*ll do we need to pay $75 bucks to be able to put some stuff on our phone that we own.
You don't. You have a choice to choose another platform or to even jailbreak it. It's actually fairly smart of Apple to do that as it keeps down the cruft, is easier for reviewers to wade through the submissions and arguably makes for a better experience for the end user since most are not developers themselves. But Android has more marketshare/eyeballs and a more open platform. Your beef isn't with Apple, it's with your own decision to choose that platform.
Historically, "Life" has been defined as being any phenomenon that possesses all 5 life processes:
#1 Food intake/ nutrition #2 Respiration #3 Excretion #4 Growth & Repair #5 Reproduction
However, this seems to have been expanded to 7:
#1 Movement #2 Respiration #3 Sensitivity #4 Growth #5 Excretion #6 Reproduction #7 Nutrition
This is for "Life" in the generalized sense, fully abstracted away from any specific mechanisms by which those processes may be achieved. It is perfectly sensible for an artificial lifeform to be constructed, as long as it is able to fully carry out those processes. It needn't have any organic components whatsoever.
Nowhere in the historical definition of "life" used by life science is there a requirement for specific mechanisms-- just processes.
By your second list, some forms of organized sets or software can be considered life.
I mainly use my AppleTV for Netflix on my non-smart tv as well as streaming Hulu from my iPhone to it via PlayOn. I don't buy any movies via iTunes either.
> Apple's security is added
Hmmmm, that's not exactly a selling point I'm afraid. Scanning my Visa card into Apple's cloud just creates another possible point of security breach imho.
You obviously know nothing how Apple's security with it's pay system works. Your card info is never in Apples cloud. Basically without too many details, an encrypted blob is initially passed via them to your bank and another encrypted blob comes back from your bank with your token and device ID. Apple never sees it or could see it. That's the only time its done is in the setup. After that all transactions are made via a one-time token via your phone to the reader along with your fingerprint, never going to Apple. It's not backed up to iCloud.
You would never have even heard of this story if it weren't news and weren't of interest to a lot of people.
We wouldn't have heard it *this time*, and frankly, good cause I'm tired of hearing about his sexual preferences making the news. This has been in articles since before he was CEO of Apple. This is not new nor is it news. #slownewsday
but transactions over Interac flash are capped at under 100$
I think I've spotted a weakness.
HELP!!!! I'm being held prisoner in /usr/games/lib!
