And Apple's SSL.

Aqua. Just werks, looks nice, and is functional.

So that's why there aren't that many black Klansmen! I'd always wondered.

Have you even looked at the OS X/Linux sections of the Steam Store?

Still too negative. "Minority?"

Those passwords are encrypted using the phone's UID (which can't be accessed directly), and their backups in the iCloud are presumably highly encrypted too. According to TFA, however, the types of data law enforcement would be able to access in the iCloud don't seem to cover the iCloud Keychain, so those would be safe. Plus, the Calendar app also interfaces with Google Calendar, etc. depending on the account.

TFA says that the data can only be accessed at the company HQ, so no, it seems that they are referring to local data that is unencrypted. It also states that they can access some data in the iCloud, too.

Weren't optical disks deprecated?

Tapping and holding gives you the link's URL and the standard set of right-click options you'd get on a desktop browser in iOS Safari. Probably does in Android browsers too.

Plus, there are a lot of status bar extensions, and OS X Safari still has one.

Safari does this, but hides the protocol if it's HTTP. If it's HTTPS, it either displays "https://" or the site's certificate name.

It only hides the "http://" at the start, and that's only if it's not HTTPS, in which case it'll display "https://" or the name of the site's certificate. The only other alteration to the URL is making the root domain solid black and the rest of the URL grey.

The information (certificate name) confirming that the bank website is what it claims to be is probably displayed in the address bar over "https://." No need to change it.

Safari doesn't hide anything about the URL. It simply puts the root domain in solid black and the rest of the address in grey.

In general, less moving parts = lesser chance of failure.

I don't have any ideas for content creation on smartphones/tablets, and the ideas I do have would be much better implemented on a desktop or server. I'm perfectly fine with remaining a consumer using a well-made, more power/system resources-efficient, sturdy and nice-looking device in the mobile market.
