There are off the shelf devices for network acceleration designed for this exact thing: Riverbed Steelhead. Not nefarious, but for acceleration of traffic over slow network connections.
What's to say they haven't been trying, but just get written off as tinfoil wearers? The vulnerabilities we're talking about here go far beyond what even most tinfoil types anticipated. It hasn't until Snowden released what he did that anyone mentioning stuff like echelon, carnivore, etc. gets taken seriously.
Good enough Safari had me ditch both Mozilla AND Chrome. I've had no real issue with Safari since 4.0... certainly nothing big enought to justify installing another browser to secure and maintain.
Given that I guarantee that most of the traffic carriage on the internet FOR the DOD is carried by third party public companies, I'd say you have it the other way around. The people would be telling the NSA to GTFO off OUR internet (that we pay for) and set up their own carriage.
It has been suspected for years, but anyone reporting or inferring it has been written off as a tinfoil wearing conspiracy theorist by the deaf dumb and blind patriot idiots making up the majority of the population.
Even now, when the truth is starting to come out, you have people defending the practice.
No, the world should get back to encouraging PARENTS to make decisions on how to raise their children and assume responsibility for such, not encouraging more regulation and passing the responsibility off to some regulatory authority staffed by self important do-gooders who think they are somehow entitled to push their values on others.
... parents understand that time and again the supposed link between video game violence and real world violence is dubious at best. What game was hitler playing? Mussolini? Stalin? Vlad the Impaler?
... you lock your phone and do application level security/encryption. you also do remote wipe if it goes missing. mine has copies of keepass and 1password on it.
Alternatively, combine the fingerprint scan with facial recognition (yes, with a blink) and/or spoken word - all of those things are relatively convenient to provide for the owner, but very much inconvenient to try and steal as a combination for an attacker.
Yes. This is why you have all your photos, calendar, email, contacts, etc synced off-device. If you've got all your stuff stored only on a highly pocketable, highly breakable device you're an idiot.

... what could possibly go wrong?
Cool story bro. I prefer to buy hardware with a warranty and support for important things. And yes, friends don't let friends buy realtek NICs.
Because both Linux and xBSD already exist, are stable, and have far better performance, hardware compatibility and real world testing.
Oh cool, I'll try and source an old 3c509 or NE2000 (and a motherboard with ISA or PCI slots) for network support.
The core is still open source. The non-free proprietary bits of OS X have never been open source and were developed in house at NeXT / Apple.

Why forge the CA when you can just buy them?
Thing is, you won't know if it was signed by the NSA if they have google's private key.
It's called monetization. Trying to do that with open source has proven to be quite difficult. Redhat have managed it, not many others have.

btw. have used the galaxy S3 and S4. in terms of build quality and feel to actually use, they are junk.
So you mean to get a decent android experience, i need to buy a device that would feel dodgy and cheap even if marketed as a children's toy?

"Oh, I'm only raping your daughter, not killing her". Stop making excuses, what they are doing is reprehensible.
I'd agree with that. I do not however agree with regulations telling people how to raise their kids.
No, the world should get back to encouraging PARENTS to make decisions on how to raise their children and assume responsibility for such, not encouraging more regulation and passing the responsibility off to some regulatory authority staffed by self important do-gooders who think they are somehow entitled to push their values on others.
How many murders have you committed? How many hookers have you run over?

This was a design decision on the UI, not a core problem with the OS. Apple held off until they could tweak it for better battery consumption.

Neat. We do of course recall that the iphone can be set up to recognise multiple fingers?
