Yes; you can transfer your Beats playlists to Apple Music; just open the Beats Music app and it will prompt you to do so.

Once a "backdoor" is added to any encryption system, it is only a matter of time before it is used for nefarious purposes. Any backdoor that a company can be compelled to use via a warrant can also be used by hackers, identity thieves, and foreign governments. If I want the data on my phone to be safe from criminals, it has to also be safe from law enforcement (whether I need that or not). It is literally not possible to have a system that is simultaneously safe from criminal intrusion and has a backdoor.

If someone is inside of my house, and they are legally allowed to be there (i.e. I've invited them in), then I have zero problem with them using my outlets to charge their phone.

If someone is on the train, and they are legally allowed to be there (i.e. they have a valid ticket), then I have zero problem with them using the train's outlets to charge their phone.

If someone is in a government building, and they are legally allowed to be there, then I have zero problem with them using the building's outlets to charge their phone.

Then let them break the encryption themselves, they shouldn't be allowed to force me to help them.

Hold the home and lock button for 10 seconds; that's the force-reboot.

There are three TB2 busses. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5918?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Simple:

• Each card and ATM is given a public/private key pair.
• The public keys are signed by the bank's private key
• Every card also contains the bank's public key

When the card is inserted, the ATM asks for the card's public key

1. The ATM then verifies that the card's public key was signed by the bank, using the bank's public key.
2. The ATM then encrypts a block of random data with the card's public key, and asks the card to decrypt it.
3. If the card successfully replies with the same random data, it has just proven that it has the private key that it claims to have

Then it's the card's turn to repeat the same process:

1. It asks the ATM for its public key, verifies that it was signed by the bank, using the bank's public key.
2. The card encrypts a block of data with the ATM's public key, asks the ATM to decrypt it

At this point, both the card and the ATM know that they are talking to the appropriate device. Each device can then generate a symmetrical key for that session, and encrypt it with the other device's public key, and use those keys for any further communication.

"modern man" = "homo sapiens"; we were around long before 1 BC.

The way that Apple did. A single binary (whether executable or library) can contain code for multiple instruction sets. There is no need for separate areas on the file system for 32- or 64-bit support, there is no need for separate 32- or 64-bit builds of the OS, etc.

So what happens if these "bad" words come up in the context of a biology class, for instance? I see many body-part names in that list, are students going to have to use stupid, childish euphemisms in their place?

"wow", as in the English word, nothing to do with "World of Warcraft"

Couldn't these Australian Journalists use an American as an anonymous proxy of sorts? That is, when you find a good source of information, tell him/her to reveal the information to an American, and then use that person as your source. You can then freely name your source, but that source can't be compelled by the Australian courts to name the original source.

Every problem can be solved by adding a layer of indirection ... or beer :)

Yes, many things can be left unencrypted; your password is not one of them. Using FTP for anything other anonymous FTP is irresponsible and stupid.

The TI-83+ had the added feature of "Archiving" software, which (I surmise) wrote it to ROM

How, exactly, would a calculator write something to ROM (i.e. Read-only memory)?

It's not even waste; It's an active fuel rod that he takes home.
