There aren't many apps that instantly show up on your phone/tablet (unless they were already running in the background).
I even hate it when an application DOESN'T have a splashscreen (like firefox or IE), I have to wait and guess if something is happening before the actual application is shown.. A good application that has any loading needed should show a splash/loadingscreen, so a user knows something is happening, best is also to actually have a progressbar/object, or a line which flashes a lot of texts with what it's loading. It might slow the real loading for a bit maybe, but not the perception to the user, as he/she see's something is happening.. The lack of a loadingscreen (and therefore a long waiting time between the actual double click and seeing the first screen) is a big indication of lack of userinteraction knowledge.. ofcourse the best thing would be not having a loadingtime at all, but since you are targeting a large crowd, you have to keep in mind that there are people with slow devices/computer and people with superduperhyperfast devices/computers, you'll keep them both happy, as the slow one actually sees something happening, and the fast ones don't notice it, as it's gone before they blinked their eyes.. so the first line of code in an application that has something to load, is showing the splashscreen, and then go ahead with loading anything..

And how secure is having only openid to login into every website? Now they only have to hack into your openid account to get onto all those different websites, making it much easier for the hackers.... yeah google i understand why you want everybody to use your openid, so you can track them even better....

I'm sorry, but what's next, calling a mini cooper a SUV? this tesla is no SUV, it's just a regular car..

If there's someone you don't want to have access to your encrypted communication, it's the media, we all know they will use it for their own benefits. Why should media have access to the communication, there is no need for it.. the only reason people want it, is because of their sensation hunger they need to satisfy, and that can NEVER be a reason for not having encrypted communications.. Civilians don't want their cellphones to be listened in on, so why wouldn't officers have a safer working enviroment by having encrypted communications (as it's their asses that are on the line, not ours who sit behind the tv watching the mayhem)..

And with the new MacOSX on ARM you'll have to buy ALL your software over again as it won't run on it, just like you had to when they switched from powerpc to x86..

The fact they won't filter the content is good, but all the woman asked according to the article is for the man to move to another computer (where the monitor wasn't as visible as the one he was using I guess), so therefore I think the man should have relocated..

but the problem with Apple is, they think they are special and want to pay less as all the other companies, as Samsung is having them pay exactly the same as the rest..

What kind of moronic thing this? So if i'm interested in weapons and bomb and I download a recipe I'm a terrorist? WTF? as long as there are no real materials ordered/in possesion to actually build the stuff, people are free to the information.. So I guess there is more to this than the article mentions, as only having downloaded the documents can't be enough, it's not like it's childporn or something...

I hope they also include consoles as that's exactly the same as with stuff like the iPhone..

The patriot act is only legal in the USA, not outside, as the US has no authority outside it's borders..

And even a company that has it's main office in the states, but it's servers in a country like the netherlands, the law of THAT country is in effect, not the US one.

Otherwise any country would make their own laws which gives them the right to just take anything they want.

Stupid american goverment think they own the world and can do anything they please, guess what, NOT!
