I miss Windows 2000.

What? You click on the story title (the white letters on the left side of the green stripe above the summary) then click the "Post" button.

Smell my finger! Now pull it. Wouldn't matter anyway. My phone demands a password every XX hours no matter what.

I use medical adhesive tape because it's opaque and doesn't leave much residue. And a 1/2" wide roll was the first thing I found last time I looked for tape. It's not about back doors and government spying for me. It's about malware. I don't put tape on my phone, tho. Most of the time, one camera's pointed at the ceiling and the other is pointed at the table.

If you want something less tacky, you can get slider covers. Search for "webcam cover".

Of course AT&T can add whatever crap they want to an Android phone but maybe they want to remove Googles free stuff and replace it with their own fee-based stuff. Why let people use Google Maps for free when they can block it and offer their own navigation for $2.99/month? Free storage on Google Drive? Nope. But you can activate 5 gigs of storage on the AT&T cloud for just $0.99/month.

Most people wouldn't have a clue if the Play Store was replaced with some crappy knockoff. They don't understand how things work. They think whatever they're presented with is all-inclusive of what is possible and available.

I don't need a "valid" reason to want privacy. The government needs a valid reason to eliminate my ability to maintain privacy.

Needs to be color and higher PPI. If I'm going to carry a device dedicated to a single purpose, it needs to blow my multi-purpose devices out of the water. My 10.5" tablet has an OLED display at 287 ppi. Color content looks amazing. It's like I'm holding a [slightly small] printed magazine. The text is sharp and crisp, the photos rich and vibrant. For plain text, I use white text on a black background which looks great on an OLED display. Because of the way OLED works, this greatly reduces the amount of emitted light compared to a backlit LCD display. I do most of my text reading on my phone at 518 ppi, also an OLED display. It's almost as big as a small dedicated reader but it's not an extra device I have to carry around just for the purpose of reading. I always have my phone with me.

I've had eink readers but they've always been a couple steps behind what I wanted. Small, low-contrast, low-resolution screens. They're much better now but they're no longer the only game in town for handheld reading.

Three.

Of course. Because once you snap your fingers and improved security is added to the next version of the product, it will magically propagate backwards through time to the millions of devices that are currently in use.

Once the tool/method is created, it exists. Even if the tool never leaves Apple, they could be compelled to use the tool in future cases. Tool.

Blu-ray was cracked about 6 months after it hit the streets and much of the delay was caused by the fact that the guy who cracked it didn't have a blu-ray player or disc.

Be still my heart. What kind of pathetic offering is that on a flagship phone? Yeah, Android 6 adds the ability to use external storage as internal but it's very kludgy. It's better than it used to be but I'd rather have 128 gigs (or, at the very least, 64 gigs) of internal storage and not mess with that.

Why are Android devices so far behind on storage?

She was dressed pretty meh for a costume designer.

20 minutes into the future...

Lawsuits over what? It's right there in the privacy policy. Are you telling me you didn't read every EULA and privacy disclosure for every device you own?
