Going West (from Europe to the US for example) I wake up really early the next morning, then one hour later each subsequent morning. Takes about a week for a 7-hour time difference.

Going east is different. First morning after I am up around 7 or 8, second day I can sleep until 1 PM if allowed to. Then it alternates the following days like that, for about a week for 7 hours as well.

Seems there is some kind of 25-hour cycle active on stretching the day, and a 48-hour cycle in action on compressing the day.

Shorter differences, 1 hour or 3 hour are similar, but the transition time is correspondingly shorter.

Some apps have jailbreak detection and will not run, or issue a warning, on jailbroken iOS devices. An app called "Divide" used for keeping work data via MS Exchange (mail, contacts, calendar, etc.) separate from your normal stuff is one.

Google SSL... Now with a side channel for ads.

As a minimum if you don't encrypt it before tossing it out onto unknown public and private networks you don't control, you've already said you don't care who sees / reads / hears / metabolizes your data.

Linux isn't UNIX. Apple is the largest UNIX vendor in the world.

This is why Apple should resurrect its ZFS project. Overnight they would be the largest ZFS vendor to match with being the largest UNIX vendor.

In the olden days, they'd round them all up, lock them in a barn and set it on fire. Now it's a ~disability~.

The gravy train is only a supersized meal away!

I was suggesting that the bulk of the complaints are likely coming from cabbies.

Michael Peevey mentions "safey rules" but then goes on to 'lacking airport permits, as well as lacking proper "trade dress" on their vehicles and lacking proof of insurance.' Ok, lacking proof of insurance I can understand. So carry papers in the glovebox and all is well.
Airport permits? That's just money denied to the airports. I'd wager the complaints that are not from cabbies are from the airport authorities for this very reason.
Trade dress? Fine, slap on a cheap magnetic sign. That is not a safety issue.

They dress is up as "safety rules" but the real motives are financial.

"We have heard numerous complaints that (our) safety rules are being ignored,"

Yeah, the cabbies are complaining. I would guess non-cabbies love the service.

It's a double negative. In reality the wireless chargers work flawlessly.

they'll still keep a list of where you've been on the phone..

Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services -> Frequent Locations -> Off
There are several good privacy related options in there.

Of course I read this after my sandwich was late.

Sorry, sweetie...

I'm busy F4'ing.

Not to sound cold, but this type of situation a good example for why you should make a living will.
Does this poor lady want to go on tied to machines or does she want to be unplugged? The choice should be hers, but without knowing her wishes, that makes it a no-win situation.
