I'm thinking of the purpose of this attack:
* Software stealing
* Account hijacking: use the certificate to publish fake apps and get money
* New software: tomorrow maybe the day that Apple will release iOS 7 Beta 4 and OS X Mavericks

In Brazil we have the same problem, a lot of people don't like to pay the taxes involving in having a car and the major is trying to reduce the traffic by imposing restrictions.

But if we remove this cars that don't pay taxes we're going to have better streets without traffic jams.

Submission + - Apple confirms no current plans to bring Siri to o (appleinsider.com)

Submitted by syngularyx on Wednesday November 09, 2011 @07:12AM

syngularyx writes: Apple's engineering unit has reportedly confirmed that the company currently has "no plans" to support its Siri personal assistant feature on older devices, according to a person familiar with the matter.

AppleInsider obtained on Tuesday an email, allegedly from Apple in response to a bug report, with the company stating its plans to keep Siri and iPhone 4S exclusive for the time being.

"Engineering has provided the following feedback regarding this issue: Siri only works with iPhone 4S and we currently have no plans to support older devices," the email read.

Apple unveiled Siri last month at its iPhone 4S event. The voice recognition personal assistant is based off technology the company acquired in 2010. The feature quickly made waves because of its advanced natural language processing abilities.

But, the service is currently in beta, a fact that users were reminded of last week when it experienced widespread outages.

MrSeb writes: "After six years, significant investment by DARPA and IBM, and millions of man hours, researchers at IBM have created two silicon chips that are fundamentally brain-like in their operation. Built using IBM’s 45nm process, these chips are still constructed out of transistors, but they’re organized into a novel arrangement that mimics the neurons and synapses of animal brains. Both of the chips have 256 digital neurons that operate at 10MHz, and standard chip features like memory, communication controllers, and so on. One of the chips has 262,144 human-programmable synapses — but the other chip has 65,356 learning synapses, which are connected in a crossbar array for a total of almost 17 million different connections."
