You make a good point. Where are the Android release notes for each release? Where are the security advisories published when they've fixed a vulnerability?

Apple documents how it figures out the encryption keys... you could look that up instead of saying "hopefully". Furthermore, you can't "guess" it in an offline attack easily. Well, if you have six months or so and a robot arm to do it, then maybe. Every time you enter an incorrect PIN, it takes longer and longer before you can attempt a different pin. Going from 0000 to 0010 will take around half a business day. Then it gets worse!

Google has removed apps that are banned from the Google Play store from people's devices remotely. Apple has not.

Is an unknown fear in the future somehow better for you to digest than that fear being played out in the past and present? (Apple's "may" versus Google's "has and does and will continue to do")

I still have the "Asian Boobs" apps I downloaded off the App Store on my iPhone even though it has long, long since been removed from App Store. (Yes, it's actually called "Asian Boobs")

Where was that part?

If you used the resource fork as a database, you deserve to DIAF.

From the carriers that complain they can't make as much profit on an iPhone as they do on other phones? The carriers want to increase the price of the iPhones to consumers to increase their profit margins.

Price-fixing is artificially keeping a product's cost higher than the product is worth via collusion. Display manufacturers, various entertainment stores (Sam Goody), and memory makers have done this a lot in the past.

The opposite of price-fixing is negotiating a deal so carriers cannot charge a higher price on the iPhone than the iPhone's going rate in that region. Carriers want to carry the iPhone, but they also want to charge much more than the MSRP for the iPhone. Apple says, "You can't do both!"

Basically, the carriers in taiwan want to engage in price-fixing for the iPhone, but the agreement they willingly made with Apple prevents it.

Because string theory isn't science!

Ugh, a gift that needed to meet specs?!

Pretty sure it uses the RF properties of iron when in motion. If it does use IR, then the blood needs to be a different temperature than the skin. Cutting off the hand would cause the blood to cool too much.

Actually, you'd just have to print something using a Laser printer (toner contains iron oxide, just like Hemoglobin) and tape it to something, like a copper sheet, to produce a very similar picture to the camera.

I'm sorry but a 3Mbit/s capped connection is a not something I'd consider "all I can use".

It's expensive for even the most evil carrier in the world, AT&T, which only charges $10/gb. And that's without any kind of bulk data rate discount.

Indeed. Mostly give up the idea of having the host encrypt files for you. You never know if they have a backdoor of some sort. Find/write software (I use Arq) to encrypt files and then send the encrypted files to a host like Amazon S3. It's really the only way for the host to have the "zero-knowledge" you desire.

And here's an article about MathML in WebKit from another source. http://www.maths-informatique-jeux.com/blog/frederic/?post/2013/10/12/Funding-MathML-Developments-in-Gecko-and-WebKit

Note that Google removed MathML from their hostile fork of WebKit, Blink.
