Exactly. Email is normally equivalent to a message on a postcard.
Sending body as a ZIP would be equivalent to putting it in an envelope. Anyone could open it but at that point they would be breaking the law. Same as postman opening a letter.
I'll note that Gmail (and other services) do actually scan ZIP's as well for virus protection. I'm not sure they use that information for AD's etc... And certainly if you don't send the file marked as a zip then they won't scan it.
The M7 is just a lower power CPU used as a data aggregator to track and integrate data from the accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS. Just uses less power than the A7 would to maintain the same granularity of tracking.
Think in terms of not having to worry (as much) about leaving any GPS application running. On the 5 that can use 20% battery / hour. With the M7 that will be drastically reduced. The M7 does the tracking and and only when specific events (e.g. approaching the next location the user needs to be notified about) will the A7 need to wake up and run the app to do the voice over.
Think in terms of having geofencing applications running all the time without worrying about battery.
Will be interesting to see if Apple allows accident related applications in the App Store. Something like a CrashAlert app that sends a text when the phone detects a suitable change in acceleration (i.e. you were moving at a constant velocity along the sidewalk and now are moving at a higher speed away from the sidewalk on an arc that is generally associated with being hit by a car and not running!)
Some of that will require that the Apple API's allow for registration for events of interest.
The other example I thought would be fun is the "I've fallen and can't get up" scenario. Just whack the phone three times and it sends a text (assuming that it didn't already detect that its location and recent movement vectors were consistent with a fall.)
The point of the 5C is to make a phone that is a) lower priced and b) more attractive to the target buyer and c) provide a better differentiation to the premium product.
Think of parents (who buy the 5S) looking for phones for the teens (and probably these days pre-teens). Plastic and colorful makes a lot of sense and probably more popular to both the buyers (parents who will like the lower price and perceived better durability) and users (who will like the colors.)
Apple knows how to target these markets with this type of product. They have been doing it with the iPod Touch for years (and it is likely we'll see a newer generation of iPod Touch with the same type of cases.)
YES of COURSE they LIMITED production so that they would ONLY sell 9 million in the first week!!!
The only manipulation that Apple performed was not putting the (far more popular for initial sales) iPhone 5S on pre-sale. That plus rumours of shortages meant huge numbers of people lining up at Apple Stores. That got the TV cameras out. That got video at 11:00. Great publicity. It worked well, generated huge demand. Apple stock up nicely.
Contrast to last year. iPhone 5 was available early with no apparent shortages going into the launch weekend. So small lines. Little publicity. Smaller overall sales and launch publicity. Poor results, Apple stock down.
The largest segment will be the iPhone 3GS which was sold until 2011. My old 3GS still works well on IOS6. But wouldn't have the horsepower to run IOS7.
Because the standard USB cables have limited current carrying capabilities.
The big reason for switching to Lightning was to double the amperage that could be used to charge your phone or tablet (thereby reducing the charge time to 50%).
Does the current Android release work on all (any?) four year old Android phones?
Four days in and IOS 7 up take is approaching 50% of the installed base... probably more IOS users have already updated to IOS 7 than the total sum of all Android users who have EVER updated their phones.
5) Its ClickBait(TM) if it is about Apple. 6) Because its Apple people are more likely to complain. 7) The sample size (er.. number of people who own Apple devices) is very very large (yes more Android, but that is across lots of products and manufacturers.)
Correct. The only difference is that this time they changed the case to reduce manufacturing costs and attract interest with a different style of phone (aka with color).
Same old strategy (sell old phone) coupled with insights on how to increase sales and increase margin. Win win.
The only way that this could happen would be for Apple to have a backdoor in the original scanning procedure. Send the hashes to the NSA before or at the same time as they write them into the CPU.
The hashes cannot be (easily) recovered by any simple process (electron scanning microscope probably required) after they are written to the CPU.
The best someone who has your phone would be able to do is : 1) jailbreak it and 2) feed hashes to the CPU to check against the internal securely stored hashes.
That might be possible. They might find a match in some useful (less than a century) timespan. And they might actually then be able to figure out what actual fingerprint which would be useful in some other finger print match actually generated the hash.
Might. But probably not.
If the NSA wants your finger print they will visit the local DMV (e.g. if you live in California) or just covertly visit your apartment when you are not at home (with a warrant of course.)
My rule of thumb in the grocery store is never, ever, buy organic. And if I ever see non-GMO I'll be sure to NOT put that in the cart as well.
In both cases the sellers are simply trying to capitalize on people's fears to sell a product that has no inherent additional qualities. And in many cases is simply inferior and / or bad for the environment (growing organic and / or non-GME food takes more land, so more habitat destruction.)
You will be responsible IFF Bob has limited liability insurance and you are rich. The lawyer for whoever he hits will be looking to sue who ever has deep pockets and might have the least smidgen of responsibility.
Making the assumption that you loose at court you will of course be able to sue Bob to try and recoup YOUR losses, but generally the reason you got sued was because Bob has no money and you do.
And it should also be obvious that if you gave Fred a couple of open beers to take with him for his drive home should make you partially responsible when he does drink them and get in an accident.
IFF you know someone is driving and IFF you know they will read the text without stopping, then you may be held liable if you send him a text.
IFF you have no idea if he is driving and IFF you have no idea that he might read without stopping then you would not be.
With Fred as the example, if he was bragging that he always reads texts while driving, and you had second thoughts about those beer and sent him a text saying "be sure not to drink those beers while driving home!" then you would be liable for the crash that Fred causes when he puts down that beer and tries to read your text.
And at 300 tonnes per day it could leak until the end of time and not cause (after dilution) 18,000 additional deaths.
To call this a mole hill made into a mountain is to overemphasize it's size... after this is diluted into the ocean this does not even make mole hill status.
I wouldn't want to bath in the puddle before it leaks into the ocean. But bathing in the ocean more than a few hundreds of meters off shore would be safe.
I tried to upgrade to Linux Mint 14 in January using an Radeon Card. Could not get multi-monitor to work.
Ended up back with Nvidia and it works. Four monitors, just use the nvidia drivers and nvidia settings applet.
I have subsequently upgraded the MB to a Z87 based system so am now trying to attach two monitors to the MB video as well. For those I want to have a second keyboard / mouse and run a different window manager.
I keep meaning to order some of the "new" ones (USB and have the Windows key) but it pains me to replace (about five) perfectly good 18 year old (used daily!) keyboards just to get another key.

Accurate enough?

Rear window heating was optional on luxury brands back then!

Four days in and just getting to 60%
https://mixpanel.com/trends/#report/ios_7
Most likely more people have updated to IOS 7 than the total number of people who have EVER updated an Android device.
The more interesting observation is that Intel's Bay Trail chip @ 22 nanometers is just barely faster on some benchmarks that the A7 @ 28 nanometers.
Intel is using its ability to go to a smaller scale to stay just barely ahead and that is not a longer term plan.
Because the standard USB cables have limited current carrying capabilities.
The big reason for switching to Lightning was to double the amperage that could be used to charge your phone or tablet (thereby reducing the charge time to 50%).
IOS 7 works on three year old iPhone 4's...
Does the current Android release work on all (any?) four year old Android phones?

Yes (depending on where you are) you can get $10 off an Apple PS if you bring in a non-Apple PS. So just pick something up at the dollar store :-)

Do more in less time which means that you spend more time asleep which conserves battery.

In the best of all worlds, devices should treat it as a maximum and hosts should treat it as a minimum.

I better unplug two of my four monitors really quickly! Must just be my imagination that I can see windows and drag things to them...
I tried to upgrade to Linux Mint 14 in January using an Radeon Card. Could not get multi-monitor to work.
Ended up back with Nvidia and it works. Four monitors, just use the nvidia drivers and nvidia settings applet.

There would be no warning other than the Red Dot appearing on your wind shield!
Ditto that.... Model M's live for ever!
I keep meaning to order some of the "new" ones (USB and have the Windows key) but it pains me to replace (about five) perfectly good 18 year old (used daily!) keyboards just to get another key.
