Why would anyone talking about an important topic like global climate change use an ancient temperature scale that is only used by a minority of retarded people?
In 1913, the temperature in Death Valley, California reached 134. Life is pretty persistent. See the aquatic life that live next to volcanic vents in ocean.
Can someone explain to me the usecase of this app, i.e. why would I want to play a game on my iPad that I could play on my Mac? If such a game works so much better on an iPad, the correct way would be to make a native iPad version. Which shouldn't be that much of a problem given that a Mac version already exists.
(Almost) same here. I saved every penny and took any work I get after school and after more than 1 year I could afford an Apple ][ clone. That was 1983 and I was 16. Original Apples were twice as much here in Germany.
One day I accidentally pulled an expansion card out of the slot while the machine was running, and it went dead! My heart stopped beating, I almost fainted. Didn't touch it for 2 days, after which it just turned on as if nothing had happed. I still remember this miracle as if it was yesterday.
Terror eignet sich mehr als irgendeine andere militärische Strategie dazu, die Bevölkerung zu manipulieren. (Terror is the best military strategy to manipulate the masses.)
Not meaningless. It is well known that on Macs, piracy is much lower than on Windows, as well as iOS vs Android. Since higher IQ means higher wealth means more Apple products, this makes all sense.
We’ve worked directly with the Apple Security Team since this was discovered leading to the fix rolled in the latest iOS update (8.4.1).
Although this sandbox violation has been patched by Apple, the patch only protects devices which update to iOS 8.4.1; Appthority has identified that up to 70% of iOS devices are not running the latest version of iOS, even several months after an update is issued.
A good./ submitter would have read the complete article and recommended in the summary to upgrade to 8.4.1.
By their definition, wouldn't be watching a video of a US drone killing innocent people, which happens regularly since years, be a crime as well? I don't know whether such a video actually exists, but I would be curious if media would broadcast it. I'm assuming here, or course, that we accept drone strikes as a form of governmental terrorism.
Over the years, hundreds of civilians have been killed by drone strikes, has this ever been picked up media in a similar way as this incident has been? Maybe media regard drone strikes as a form of terrorism and consider broadcasting it a crime as well...
Unfortunately, the article doesn't mention individual numbers, but given that iOS dominates the mobile internet, maybe this is due to Apple's expansion into China.
I've submitted this story as well, even before the OP (not that I'm bitter....), and with additional information regarding China's plans:
Apart from purchase restrictions for central government offices, China will focus on the development of its own OS based on Linux, a move which An Yang, a security expert with Qihoo 360 Technology, said was a necessity although progress has been disappointing. There are several Linux-based OS developed by Chinese companies, such as KylinOS and StartOS, but they have not proved popular. An said the first step is to promote the use of Chinese-designed OS among official users, while their popularity among civilian users will be subject to market forces. HP recently announced shipping PCs with Kylin pre-installed, while there have been about 4 million downloads of the OS from the website so far.
I wonder what scenario would justify a disk wipe without asking the user first? From an end user point of view, even if those machines were just terminals, I'd find it inacceptable if they were just rebooted without asking me first.
Android outsells iOS devices for quite some time (years?) now yet this means nothing to Apple, because a) Apple is not in the business of selling an iPhone to everyone and their dog, they're in the business of selling high-end, highly profitable devices to people who can afford them, and b) browser data shows actual internet usage numbers favour Apple at a ratio of 2:1 versus Android, so either Andriod users are too stupid to use their devices, or Android is too complicated/doesn't work, or they just get their Android for free and use it as a feature phone. In any case, it only shows that smart phones are a commodity now, which doesn't mean anything about the future of Apple.
Firefox can require the key to be typed in when you start it.
Yep, and that is exactly how Safari could do better. Although it is bad if a program can access your local files, it can't do anything with those files as long as a passphrase is needed to decrypt them. Neither the Kaspersky article nor anyone here has mentioned this explicitly so far.
Slashdot Mirror
It is most likely that this system is only for tracking gamers as most of the sample dialogs appears to be about this subject.
Can someone, maybe from China, come up with a good explanation why they seem to have such a particular interest in gamers?

Everybody knows that on Earth at sea level water boils at 100 degrees, that's 1st grade physics.

Yeah but water is boiling at 100 degrees!?!?!
How can any organism survive with temperatures that high?

I’ve been imitated so well I’ve heard people copy my mistakes.
Intolerance: my culture is always the right one.
How about using Starbuck's W-LAN?

Joanna has been researching this for a while, this is her presentation at 32c3.

Shouldn't this be named "1/25 of an inch Wave", or "OTFOAIW"?

Android accounts for about 80% of China's mobile
But TFA is about internet usage market share, not sales. See this image for an internet market share graph.

IMHO the actual incompetence is omitting a modal alert and just wiping the disk without asking the user first. Or should I say arrogance?
