While I applaud their efforts at refunds and replacing the Note 7s - ordering the telecomm service to block access to the devices is unethical at the very least if not outright criminal.
I PAID for the device - it's MINE and not a threat to the telecommunications infrastructure so neither Samsung nor TCF have the right to deny access to these phones. Sure it might explode in my hand but that's beside the point!
What next? Are we going to have authorities and yank IoT devices out of your house without a warrant if they ARE a threat to the internet? It's for your own good citizen.
That company has proven the APIs make it possible to collect and collate data on behaviors and intents. What's to stop governments with shell companies from using it in the same fashion?
How about political parties?
Shops using the data to more accurately target spam hacks at you? I'm sure you've had a few spam calls as of late.
Ooo - lookit us, we're so protective of your rights BS. If they really care they'd shut down the APIs altogether.
Money gets your message out but it doesn't mean that it will automatically translate into votes.
If that were the case the new Ghostbusters movie should be the highest grossing movie of all time.
Now it does represent a barrier to entry for candidates without the money/support networks - But - here's a perfect example where one man with the means can fund another with the vision. What if he had spent that much on Bernie's campaign instead?
"The article is stating that these problems occur more often on iOS vs Android, not that these problems occur on every phone"
The title of the article is:
"iPhones and iPads Fail More Often Than Android Smartphones – Study"
This means the authors of the article want you to think that Androids are better than iPhones.
Yet a Wifi connectivity issue is given the same weight as a touch screen failure or a random reboot because those problems only affect 1/3 of Android phones whereas 2/3 of iphone users have wifi connectivity problems.
What's the point of an Apples (heh) to oranges comparison other than the click-baity title then?
There's no real information here. Just massaged statistics for an ad hit. It's worthless for a comparison and, worse, the raw data doesn't make any sense in the article either so it's doubly worthless.
I'm not an "apple boi" by any stretch of the imagination but c'mon -
"The main issues that owners of iOS smartphones face is not being able to connect to a WiFi network, dropped connections, slow speeds and incorrect password prompts. Android smartphone users struggled with camera issues, battery charging, touch screen issues, app crashes, syncing problems and random reboots."
Apple has wifi issues (I've encountered them too) - Android has toush screen issues, random reboots (random reboots?!?!) - therefore Android is better WTF?!
"The study also revealed that 50% of iOS applications crashes in Q2, compared to 23% of Android apps."
ok but that's not necessarily and iOS problem per se - (I don't blame Microsoft for Adobe's lousy QA or, heh, iTunes crashes...) So what's the details here...
"Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat were among the top apps to crash on iOS, while Google Play Services, Google Contacts Sync and Address Book crashed the most on Android."
Facebook crashes on iOS but Address Book crashes on Android - ergo Android is better?! Again... WTF!?
With Apple and Google getting into cars Microsoft can't be far behind so will this happen with their cars soon?
Here, here's our car for FREE and while you drive it we'll give you mileage rewards. Just make sure you use BING navigation and BING auto-insurance which will track your driving and mileage habits!
Heck, why not start that with Windows Phones first...
Or they could, y'know.. just make a better web browser?
I agree with you entirely but the days of physical media are all but over and the days of even storing the APP and RESOURCES on your local box are on the way out in lieu of live streaming games.
The cost savings and efficiencies to the business are just too good to pass up. In theory it should be good for your case because all updates will be on their server so you won't have long load times getting updates.
So we built another on top of that and that caught fire, burned and sank into the swamp.
So we built one on top of that and forced everyone into compliance... and that UX, that UX son stood!
Repeating the same mistakes and expecting a different outcome is a sign of insanity!
I'm not even sure what the business model here is - That they'll save a few million by only having one development team across all platforms?
A TV interface that you control with a D-pad or joystick is NOT the same as a PC interface with a keyboard/mouse is NOT the same as a tablet interface with a touch screen. No matter how much you try to unify the concepts the interactions/navigations/cues are DIFFERENT at the very least from an input standard and not even counting things like screen resolutions, viewing distances and, becoming more commonplace, display hardware.
Now there's nothing wrong with having one app store with one purchasing account for all the platforms but the UX for those should be customized to maximize the benefits of each platform. My ATM, smartphone and bank teller are all ways I perform the same functions with my bank - But they're in NO WAY a unified experience!!!

The API *IS STILL THERE*
So they've stopped one "nefarious" company...
That company has proven the APIs make it possible to collect and collate data on behaviors and intents. What's to stop governments with shell companies from using it in the same fashion?

Jeb Bush spent $150 million on a primary race with tons of ad buys and campaigning goodness that money could buy and came in nearly dead last.

I thought they were supposed to introduce wireless charging with this iPhone too...
It's the best iPhone in the world! :)
Nothing says performance like that!

OTOH you get to bear all the streaming costs!
No one needs more than Project Scorpio.
I've been using it to mostly stream anime - Does that go to Yahoo too or fall under Hulu's subscription model?
Are they going to continue to show ads on their PAID SUBSCRIPTION service? Even the more expensive NO-ADS subscription service that still sells ads?
Is Yahoo's service still going to use Hulu's software to stream or has Yahoo come up with a whole new system?
And how many people can use the Hulu subscription simultaneously... :)
