Sounds to me like the law is only treating symptoms. How about a law that makes it illegal to sell customer info without their express written consent?
Protect users from what? They made a choice to install an app (Skype), and the app already has access to the system. Anything malicious it can do, it can do without registering an url handler. The Android method you're mentioning is valid, too. But with the "It just works" mantra from Apple, I wouldn't expect to be asked "are you sure you want to use skype for 'skype:*' ?"
I imagine this to be the new censoring-tool, instead of pixelation. Think people without faces and Japanese porn with what looks (even more) like barbie dolls.
But a vulnerable machine would still need to download the patch, and would contact some random seeds (who might be ip-sniffing bad guys). The only solutions would be to limit patch downloading to certified seeds (servers (thereby negating almost all advantages with bittorrent), or having patched users download the patch again in order to poison the list of vulnerable clients (and not solving the problem).
I had that error too, on a city-wide network. The solution? Get an IP from the offending router, go to its web interface, use the default password to get in, and disable DHCP.
But you are (presumably) technically adept. Joe sixpack couldn't use an.apk-file if his life depended on it.
And really, if Windows had an app-market, i'd be all over it. A standard way of doing trivialities such as installing and updating is really needed IMO.

I don't understand this. Don't you have PINs in the states?
If you don't want to give them your phone #, you install an app on your smartphone instead. Read what you quoted.
Been doing the same, too. The problem is that every user needs its own domain. Can you do something like this: random@user.example.com ?
It won't matter as long as your incoming packets all have a source address in (google|facebook|netflix) ip space
Could a key-combo satify you? Like caps+C or double-clicking shift or something?
Graduate students are not under orders to keep government secrets secret.
Are you sure? couldn't it be considered treason?
wikileaks.org is down, and my ISP has removed the dns entry for thepiratebay.org. Can anyone post a magnet link?
They haven't said it's not a problem, they've just pointed out that they can't/won't fix it.
If I registered strangeURL://* on a system, the only thing iOS could ask was "Are you sure you want to start StrangeApp? It may or may not cost ya"
If Apple let the app ask the question (as they do now), that question could be much more meaningful.
If Apple were to stick completely to the "Walled garden" approach, they would not have allowed Skype because it doesn't ask that question.

What is your point?
This is about websites, not about programs you've installed yourself. Did you read the headline?
True, but someone is gonna try to do it for free anyway. Now they have an extra incentive to keep going and to publish their results.
Just say "It's a Jersey thing"

Someone within the company must have sent out the notice. Was he acting on his own, or on order from his boss?

I think that lesson was unlearned with the iPhone

It's better than to assume that you'll never hit anything.
Maybe they plan to use ejector seats. If the car senses a dangerous situation, you are promply ejected from it to protect the reputation of Volvo.
will this help me if I stared into the laser with remaining eye?
Here's your woosh:

You're welcome.
Android, baby!
When Benjamin told them to? Or when they realised that they couldn't afford to not have that app?
I don't think Android even needs a market app.

How much would it cost one to just buy a h.264 license for the whole GPL? And would that fit into the GPL?
