Shifu is used in several Chinese dialects to express respect for someone's skill, for example by students of martial arts as a way of addressing their master.
While the report offer a bit more content than the articles, unfortunately which watches that were tested is not included. And sleep depraviation does very little good to my reading skills, as AC reached the exact same conclusion.
Out of curiosity, were those additional apps from Samsung and/or your provider? I suspect that there may be a big difference between being for example an AT&T customer with an AT&T branded device of brand X in the US versus the same in Europe, not to mention a stock OS device. For the record, despite being a sucker for the latest shiny piece of tech I have for some time now given up entirely on Smartphones. I value my privacy too much to bother with the to me minor added value they bring to me. And nope I have no neck beard. Yet!
Do you mean the very same iPhone as the one where many users create a "crap I don't want folder" on their home screen to hide away the Stocks and other stock apps from taking up space the home screen?
Wow nice way of ignoring the second part of my post where I write that Apple were informed by the researchers 6 months ago. so at a minimum this is how long they have been aware of it but left it unpatched since then. And when Apple were informed they asked the researchers to wait 6 months before going public, which they did! Ignoring an issue doesn't make it go away.
And seriously. How many of the apps you bought do you actually need? My bet, not as many you might believe
users, who, in most instances, could do fuck all with that knowledge, anyway.
It is not that bloody hard to switch to another platform in the case of an OS flaw, or hardware vendor in the case of something like the Samsung keyboard hack. A hassle? Yes. But certainly not a case where a user "could do fuck all" at least now iOS and Samsung users can make an informed decision whether to take the risk of sticking with their device or move elsewhere.
On the other hand, there are other people who could make use of that knowledge, and that's who you want to keep in the dark
Which is why responsible researchers wait for a reasonable time before releasing their findings to the public, in this case they waited the 6 months requested from them by Apple.
Not as well as it used to be, and if corporations continue having the influence over lawmakers they have today things are going to get much worse before getting better. For an example look into the so called food libel lawsfood libel laws and for examples of how these laws effectively have made people cautious to the extreme in bringing forward even the most modest of criticisms, watch the documentary Food, Inc.
Unfortunately I have, and each time I get reminded of this appalling practice I take a deep breath of relief in the knowledge that I am not a US resident.
The question at hand is whether the software is free, which it is if you obtain it via the download link found here. Whether you can install it legally on non-apple hardware or not is not relevant to the context but since you asked; doing so is in breach with their EULA and at least in the US courts have reached the conclusion that even selling Hackintosh friendly hardware is illegal when done in the manner that Psystar used to do when they provided the OS asa bundle together with their hardware. http://www.lockergnome.com/osx...
Pigs are intelligent, social animals that also happens to be the source bacon. I take deep offence in your comparing these fine animals with 2nd rate humans that clearly are lacking in intelligence, fail in social skills and cannot even be used as a source for bacon.
My intention were not to lump everyone in the US together which is why I used the term 'muricans which in the context refer to a specific category, namely the ones that blindly believe everything uttered by the likes of Glenn Beck or whatever the flavour of right wing pundit is nowadays in other words the same ones that think it is perfectly fine when NSA use undercover agents in foreign corporations but cry foul when other nations have the audacity to do the same.
And at no point did I attempt to change the opinion of the OP as I quite frankly believe that anyone that someone who voice a belief that extreme is beyond reason, or a troll. In either case reason and logic is failed cause, thus I vented my frustration rather than attempted to fuel some innate sense of superiority as you suggest.
I should have added this little reality check: NSA Has Undercover Operatives in Foreign Companies The latest Intercept article on the Snowden documents talks about the NSA's undercover operatives working in foreign companies. There are no specifics, although the countries China, Germany, and South Korea are mentioned.
Free trade doesn't work if both sides are not playing the same game.
Right, the US would never consider spying on Chinese companies and government branches./sarcasm
I like to believe that you are just trolling, but based on the inane world view frequently voiced by 'muricans online it is very hard to tell.
And also the abuses of software patents cause economic harm that FAR outweighs the benefits.
Indeed, just look at all the productivity that goes to waste whenever/. posts an article containing the word patent. In a nanosecond hordes of well paid tech professionals stop coding, innovating and creating just to read through all 389 posts and post a couple of their own. By the time they are done posting others have posted too, generating a whole bunch of new posts that have to be read and replied to, severely delaying the calculation of the Ultimate question
Lockheed Martin storing F-35 design data make sense. They build it which would be quite hard without access to the design data. Company XYZ storing DoD data that they have not created, do not contribute to or work with is poor security and will increase the possibiliy of another Snowden scenario happening which is plainly idiotic from a security perspective.
If you aren't doing anything illegal online (pirating, illegal pornography, planning terrorism) these laws won't affect you.
The problem with that is that what can label someone as a person of interest with subsequent consequences as ending up a no-fly list often is nothing more than very vague connections to a suspected terrorist, visiting a site or video deemed illegal etc, for an example look at this statement from the London Metropolitan police:
The MPS Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) is investigating the contents of the video that was posted online in relation to the alleged murder of James Foley. We would like to remind the public that viewing, downloading or disseminating extremist material within the UK may constitute an offence under Terrorism legislation.
The Metropolitan police are unable to currently name the law that citizens could be arrested under for watching the video that depicts the beheading of photojournalist James Wright Foley, despite earlier releasing a statement that said any British nationals watching the video could be committing a criminal offence.
I grant you that I indeed could have worded that better. You are entirely correct that phones of today do more power intensive tasks than they did back then, causing greater drain on the batteries. But that does in no way invalidate the point I were trying to make; that there are very good arguments for being able to easily swap batteries and that apart from the "ooh... shiny" factor there are absolutely none for non-swappable ones as the only real benefit is that manufacturers can shave off a couple of tenths of millimetres of thickness and easier create a seamless design. Neither of which have any usability benefit with the possible exception of hipsters with jeans so tight they do need that extra tenth of an millimeter to fit it into the pocket.

Worth adding is that the answers to someone's "security" questions often are easily obtained with just a small bit of social engineering.
Someone managed to find two graph curves that overlap nicely, but have little else to support their theory. How unusual. *Yawn*
That is how it has been until now, for Windows 10 insider that most certainly is not the case.

Rhetorical question begging to be asked: Which Government are you referring to, China or the United States?

these cops need to be taken to Guantanamo and treated as the terrorists that they are
For fucks sake, how hard is it to use the word terrorist for the individuals committing actual acts of terror rather than diluting it?

If you can't even know what is deemed illegal or not how can you be expected to act within the law?

You are confusing Apple with their customers.
