Comment Re:Only for France? (Score 1) 46

Apple can't change the 3GPP air interface specs just to appease France (or anyone really)

Uh huh, so why is this order only against Apple and not all cell-phone manufacturers? If other manufacturers can stay within a law designed to protect people then Apple, one of the richest companies on Earth should be able to too.

The sticky note statistically speaking could well be safer, it's not prone to viruses, trojans or WORMs, the password DB can't be copied by hackers the other side of the planet.

I supposed an ideal solution would be to use an off-line phone with screen lock and store a password manager on it and use that in conjunction with hardware authentication.

Comment Re: The oceans are slacking (Score 1) 139

Water has huge heat capacity and the oceans covering 2/3rds of the planet are large. The oceans have simply soaked up much of the excess heat energy due to global warming, this isn'y my theory, this is the way scientists say it happens and the physics is simple, 1 degree of warmer ocean is the equivalent of tens of degrees of heated atmosphere in terms of energy capacity of air and water. It's basic physics.
