I find this confusing.....why did Tim say that you are not allowed a wifi scanner?

How does adding a wifi scanner to the app store "duplicate core functionality", or do other ebil nasty unapple things?

Why the hate apple?

lol, you must be confused about the device in question. Its an iphone.

You never had entry to the house in the first place, the house was paid for by you, but you have no keys, are only granted entry into the house upon the whim of the house designer/builder. You are told how to live in your house, you are told how to use your house, and under no uncertain terms are you to EVER modify your house to the way you like...if you do so, all manufacturing warranty of said house is null and void.

They call it Jailbreaking for a reason.

Enjoy your jail, lol.

lol, and the ten commandments statue isnt just as offensive to non Christians?

You obviously forgot to insert the "offensive to me" part.

I dont know how it can be offensive anyway, as Satan is part of Christian mythology ( and prob part of the other Abrahamic religions too ).

You cant get all offended about something that is an integral part of your own religion.

I would rather them use an emp device then drop concrete blocks from a bridge. One has a small chance of causing loss of life, the other, well if it hits the windshield then it's instant death.

The difference is one may cause property damage and the other is attempted murder.

Hey, dont be so cynical.

At least its a nice instant death out of the blue with no warning whatsoever, and not some slow agonising lingering death.

Ill take option 1 over option 2 any day.

Not only that, but with digital TV, they know what you watch and when. With analog TV, they don't. Knowning who watches what and when is a very, VERY valuable business model - just ask Google...

Utter BS. You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

Analog, or digital, its still a radio signal, the only difference between the two systems is the modulation and encoding.

It is *not* a two way radio link.

Is it worthwhile to use baseballs caps and dark glasses to foil face recognition technology?

In the end, no.

Everybody walks differently. You can be tracked and identified by just analysing the way you walk.
You would have to go to extreme lengths to be anonymous in a heavily surveilled society.....is it worth the hassle?

You might as well just walk about in the open knowing full well you are monitored and recorded and analysed by whomever controls and has access to the CCTV network.
To be honest, the thought of living through what the UK experiences is downright creepy and frightening. I'm very surprised that people have not done anything about them. In a Democracy, the people should have the collective power (voting) to reign in what's happening over there.

But they are not.

If the vast majority of the citizens of the western world really gave a damn about their privacy, they could enact change.
