Come on, you're not being a fashionable ihaternista by trying to apply a hint of logic to this. The fandroids and ihaters won't recognize logic even if you side load it into them.
iPhone 4 is nearly 3 years old. Comparing it against a S3 or a S4 is weak sauce. One would hope that Samsung can at least create a phone that can beat a 3 year old phone. Also interesting how android forums is full of how the galaxy's are still jittery and have laggy gui.
And soldered in battery? Really? Is it really that difficult to remove 3 screws and swap a battery that's dead? No, you can't change batteries on a daily basis, not easily, but the battery also doesn't die in 4 hours like the Galaxy.
For a site as complex as Apple's developer site, especially when they're hosting both ios6 *and* the new ios 7 (which includes both published, and unpublished versions - I'm pretty sure beta 4 was sitting there to be released) as well as all the PKI/cert stuff - yeah, it can be horribly complex. Probably no one on the security team and the dev/web team had any sleep over the past few days.
As opposed to "getting out of one's car with a gun to confront a person that he later found threatening, despite being told by 911 to stop doing that shit"?
Apple did this as a result of Path and the various state AGs telling them they need to do a better job. So Apple came up with a pretty damned decent way of doing it.
The same issues and state AGs were involved with Android too. Since Android already had a model to start with, why didn't they improve on it, instead of sitting on their ass for so damned long?
I remember reading that article when it came out, and it didn't make any sense then, and it still doesn't make sense now. How do you "stripe data" between two entirely different architectures? One's MS/SQL and the other's probably mysql or postgressql or some form of hadoop.
Intercepting traffic (ie, read) at the ISP has a different risk profile from injecting traffic (ie, making active requests) onto your access point.
Think child porn. If a rogue NSA employee wants to use your access point for some child porn, *YOU* go to jail. Whereas he can't do it if all he has is read-only data from AT&T. Or at least hell of a lot more manipulation has to be done.
You are aware of the irony of the many starred Google being the star of this issue whereas the one starred Apple not doing this?
One thing about Apple's secrecy is that unfortunately they get ranked down on these things. Like how they were scored the lowest for their environmental scores despite being the best at it.
You might want to give that a little more thought.
If Google has your wifi username and password, where did it come from? Your Android device. Which you registered. Which means Google knows it's IMEI and serial *AND* MAC addresses.
I have seen no evidence that corporations that use Android care about security.
Why do you think Samsung has to come up with the SAFE campaign, *AND* that says that all iOS devices are "SAFE" rated and *TWO* Samsung devices are "SAFE" and the rest of Android devices are *NOT SAFE".

And here is a perfect example of an iHater. Frothing at the mouth even.
You should have taken basic English in class. You teachers might have taught you the concept of the "Royal We".
No way! You mean the iHaters are full of shit? Apple is doomed! DOOMED! I tell you!!!
So... you're calling Google a liar...?
Since when did Google promised anyone that it would be "open"? The only thing they offer is source code.
That allows you to do a lot, but as we saw with Tivo, open source does not mean open access, etc.

It's more like this:
Everyone else is losing money. Apple makes $6.9 billion. Die, Apple, Die!

Again?
Why do people keep pushing this bullshit?
Asymco was talking about doing airplay to an entire audience instead of using a projector. He calls it Air Show.

*THAT* is the question.
Man. What a way to twist what I wrote around. You do realize that it my stance, right? Read what AC said.
Cannot. Unless you root it and install 3rd party stuff.
No idea why Android users think the ability to revoke a permission is not important.

so everyone should have an open guest network open to the world (or NSA at least)?
Why, that's a swell idea...

Trying to argue common sense with slashdot?
Gotta love people who advocate throw away passwords for wifi.

You say that sarcastically, but from what I've seen, Apple seems to put more effort into security than others.
That is why the KGB created their own fork. They saw this in the source code, and didn't like it.
