You realize that Mike Lazaridis only just resigned from the board only like 7 months ago, right? Jobs was gone from Apple for more than a decade. The two situations are hardly comparable.
Is there a reason why developed countries haven't let users vote with a public/private key pair, and signing your own votes, in a method that can be cryptographically checked and counted by any reasearcher?
Because that would make it near impossible to rig the election.
Certainly problems like this would go away
The only "problem" from the perspective of the election riggers is that they gave it away.
And to add, the Senate was 48 D to 51 R which is not a "super majority" by any measure let alone a Democratoc super majority when both Houses were under Republican control. Nice attempt at revisionist history, though.
And his claims of Democrat super majority is bunkus. The Republicans controlled the House and could have stopped the bill had they wanted. But not one Republican senator voted against it and only 3 Republican reprensentatives exicitly voted Nay as well. Both parties hold responsibility.
Hahaha what? You seem to be willfully ignoring that the Republicans controlled the House during passage 229 to 205. You also seem to be ignoring that the Patriot Act was authored and introduced by a Republican Representative. You also seem to be ignoring the fact that of the 66 nays in the House that 62 were Democrats. And that Republicans voted Yea at a 3:2 margin in the House. You also seem to ignore that not a single Republican voted Nay in the Senate. The Nay was that of Democrat Russ Feingold who also warned about the Section 215 powers. The only abstention in the Senate was also a Democrat.
So to act like the passage of the Patriot Act would have been any different with a Republican controlled Senate is ludicrous when nary a single Republican senator voted against it.
I think you missed my point. No user of OS X or Windows would ever think Gnome 3 was either of those products. It looks and behaves like neither of them. Sure, Gnome 3 has a few features that are slightly similar to a few features in the other two but that's about it.
How exactly is Gnome remotely like either OS X or Windows other than at some extremely superficial level? I know plenty of OS X users and none of them would ever touch Gnome 3 with a 50 foot pole.
Yes, anonymous free speech. A necessary right spoken of in the Federalist Papers. Why is his point less valid because he used a different pseudonym than you? If not hiding behind pseudo-anonymity makes your point more valid please provide all your personally identifying info.
In the smartphone operating system (OS) market (see Table 2), Microsoft took over BlackBerry for the first time, taking the No. 3 spot with 3.3 percent market share in the second quarter of 2013. “While Microsoft has managed to increase share and volume in the quarter, Microsoft should continue to focus on growing interest from app developers to help grow its appeal among users,” said Mr. Gupta. Android continued to increase its lead, garnering 79 percent of the market in the second quarter.
You realize that law enforcement can already gain access to a password locked phone already, right? Why would they bother with recreating a latex fingerprint over just using the software they already have to unlock them?

Yep, it's the play that Samsung made and they've made out like bandits.

and the websites can use it without his explicit permission.
Then he can *gasp* not visit that website.
The DRM battle was nearly won
In what alternate universe?
Apple's AAC fell to the wayside
AAC has nothing to do with DRM. And Apple still uses AAC for its DRM-free music as well.
Yes, they are. Just read their other posts to see this

Nokia Q2 2013 mobile market share was a bit over 14%.
Wrong. Android and iOS have 93.2% of the global market share.
Yeah, "more than doubled" to 3.3%!!!

OMG!!!!
It's far better than the people who don't even set a 4 digit pin.

About 2 minutes with physical access.
Has anyone else verified that the suppose hack really does work? Isn't a bit premature to claim Apple is lying off a single youtube video?
They can get your fingerprint without needing to go through this route.
You make the wrong assumption that the guy read past the part of one-time pad's being "unbreakable" to all the downsides associated with them.
I don't most of the users would pass the Turing Test. The AI probably has a much easier job doing so.
Uncrackable by even the best crypto minds on the planet.
Only theoretically. There are plenty of issues with using one-time pads that can make them suspectible to be cracked.
This just in: military personnel work as NSA analysts.
Why ask them? Just look at, for example, the list of people exonerated from death row.
