With the iPhone, the responsibility lies solely at Apple. With Android phones, the responsibility lies at many different companies for their own phones... That's where the problem lies, mainly. Better get a phone from a manufacturer that's known for getting updates for your phone.
And who says they'd be able to steal both? Or perhaps the picture on the license isn't high quality enough to be usable (my ID contains a 1-color pointy grid of my actual photo, more or less)?
They're adding a bit of security that wasn't there before, and may or may not work depending on the person and their ID. It doesn't sound like a "very bad idea" to me.
Glad to help, and hey, it happens! I sometimes catch myself saying grammatically crazy things sometimes.:)
(To be honest, I expected a "are you just here to play grammar Nazi?" reply. Guess that says something about what kind of strange expectations the internet can give you!)
I just tried it. Wow. You need to do that for GMail accounts but not Google accounts, apparently (you can get a Google account using whatever e-mail address). And I personally don't remember needing to do that, ever, so that's a pretty bad move from Google if you ask me.
They allow you to verify with a voice call too, though. But if you're deaf or really bad of hearing I guess that's no use, either.
It's like chatting with random groups of friends. You decide what groups, using the circles. People mainly share interesting stuff they found, news, photos, and I'm sure some people also post some personal experiences.
You *really* should not use any of them if you actually value security. There are actual OSes (and I guess distros, to an extent) that put security before anything else. Windows, most Linux distros and OSX certainly aren't.
I guess I can see what you mean there - an empty div suddenly disappears, bumping the rest of the content up a bit. Still, Adblock mostly does its job properly if you look beside that visually jarring part (it's much preferable to actually seeing ads).
What is it with people stating "lack of proper adblock" all the time? The only thing Adblock for Chrome is bad at is blocking ads inside Flash videos, and even then that at least still works on YouTube...

I dunno, man. I rather like Wire#2.
Closing the source is one thing. Subsequently removing any and all open-source discussion is another. Dickery, to be precise.

Facebook gets it, because it has a public API. He says absolutely nothing about the quality of said API (which is indeed poor).

Whoosh and/or well played, sir.
Just a little unrelated grammar-related note... "Where" means asking for a location. "Were" is the past tense of "are". ;)
The world NEEDS good cops. They're filling a gap that really shouldn't be there. It's sad that the gap IS there.
You're saying that as if it's the only possible reason to use FLOSS.

There's an extension that integrates Facebook (and Twitter) into Google+, actually. I forgot the name, though.
I don't get your comment. Google+ has nothing to do with phones in particular.
It's so they can gradually roll out the system. At this point, since G+ has proven successful (enough), the invite-only system has been removed.
As someone who doesn't use events, ever, this doesn't actually hold any meaning to me.
Desktops. Not embedded OSes. You can find the largest amount of malware on the desktop side of that.
If you don't care, you couldn't care less.
RTFA. There is no playing involved.
Have you ever heard of Git, and why it pretty much prevented the actual kernel from being compromised?

Not really. I've seen both kinds of people IRL. Both are wrong, of course.
Oh, I'm sure it could stop Salmonella. Because Salmonella has been around for years.
