Even typing is a skill that I'm happy to have taught myself, but I can't see lasting a whole lot longer.
While I will agree that Siri is moderately able to type a short SMS, I wouldn't try it to write a Java program or a perl script. IMO, even in 20 years we'll still be using a keyboard even if our "users" (ie: the rest of the world not working in IT) have sompletely gone vocal / mental.
it does not delegate trust to some 3rd party that might screw up and cause things to have be changed, or risk compromise
Instead, the company that issues the self-signed certificate is to be trusted not to screw up? "Just take our certificate, it's fine, trust us".
If Alice and Bob trust each other, this is OK, but what if Bob is bumbling idiot? What about when Alice and Bob, who trust each other, tell Mallory to trust them to trust each other, and Carol mistakenly trusts Mallory?
I don't know about that, but can you tell me if Bob makes out with Carol in the end?
Sorry, but in my experience, smartphones prior to the iPhone were not usable to people without computer knowledge.The iPhone was the first to be.
The iPhone fixed a problem that has been puzzling most computer illiterate people since the beginning of CS: the stateful machine.
The concept to be understood in order to have used a smartphone before the iPhone was: How do I get out of there. And the complexity was that the "there" could be any screen of any app and the "how" would heavily depend on said app.
The iPhone introduced the home button, which consistently led you back to the home screen no matter where you were in the phone.
Arguably, the iPhone was even easier to use than most feature phones, whereas all the alternatives were more and more complex as features were added.
I am godless, so you didn't offend my god. Note that you didn't offend me either, so there really is no need to apologize.
Sorry to hear his train of thought can be so badly disrupted by picking out a shirt.
Who said anything about badly disrupting anything?
The point of my response was to make you realize that you are not the center of the world and that a story saying that someone does A to be more efficient does not mean YOU are horribly inefficient if you don't do A. The world is made of many types of people and it is usually enlightening to learn about others. Which does not mean you should do whatever works for someone else. I am genuinely wondering why you find the story "just dumb"... Or why you didn't answer any of my questions for that matter.
Did you ever consider the fact that you and Obama might be different? In that, what takes you 2 seconds might take him more? Or it might interrupt the flow of thought in his mind?
Maybe it's just that things that are easy for you are not so easy for others? In other words, maybe it's just that these people are different than you?
The fact that you don't understand it doesn't necessarily mean there is something wrong with them now, does it?
Apple is probably in a much better position to end Microsoft's reign over the desktop, if it decides to release a generic OSX for the white box market.
Then I guess Apple's in a worse position than anyone else to end Microsoft's reign over the desktop.
To be fair, rdesktop does a good job of that. Also, telnet (Yeah living in the past, but it works.).
You've never had to restart a server from an underground train while on an iPhone connected with Edge. I had. I could not have done it through rdesktop, and I did it fine with ssh.
rdesktop is fine but is a bandwidth hog compared with ssh. Of course, it transmit a UI instead of data. The thing is, on a server, no GUI is really needed.
I wish I could continue this conversation but the latest issue of Parenting came in the mail. Since your twisted view cannot recognize that keeping an eye on your kid may be compatible with allowing him to take any risk, I think I'll leave it at that.
Good luck with your kid taking risks where he knows he takes none since he can contact you at any time.
For the record, your counterclaim just ignores half of your original statement. How convenient.
You didn't claim "Android's mapping/navigation is superior to iOS6 Maps", you claimed "Android's mapping/navigation is superior to iOS6 Maps AND THE PAID STORE PRODUCTS"
So by your claim, Android's mapping/navigation is superior to pretty much everything, including Waze, Tomtom and others.
That's a pretty broad statement to spit with absolutely no reference or other kind of explanation. Typical fanboi claims.
Did you try to read the rest of the Bible? You know, the entirety of it, out of the quotes pulled out of context the religious nuts want you to see?

Yes, there are parts that kind of make sense. Then there is the rest of the Bible spouting nonsense, sexist and hatred based stories.
Of course, either you've read it all and you know what I'm talking about (in which case you were just trying to deceive in your comment) or you didn't (and you were just trying to show off your little quote you learned last week).
Well, your arguments works both ways. Now you're at ease with letting your child going around unattended. What will happen when his battery will run out? Is it being a good parent to depend on that fragile - specially in a kid's hands - piece of technology for the safety of your child?
Ah, and equating "keeping an eye on your 4 years old" to "35 year olds still living at home with their parents like they are 13" is probably stretching it a bit. Like a couple of light years.

It is illegal for women to get pregnant in most civilized countries ????

You mean, I'll know ???
The ideology behind religions is generally not bad, most teach good behaviour, morals and tolerance as the basis of the religion.
Too bad Urban II wasn't in the confidence. Could have helped save a few million death.
God has revealed himself to me as well. Then I realized it was just this hashish joint I got a bit earlier.
Ok, I'll bite anyway. How can you tell it's God reveling himself and not some random hallucination?

Smartphones were able to do everything that the iPhone could do before it came out.
Lightbulbs were also able to do everything that the Edison's lightbulb was before it came out.

Ha! That just what I want you to think.
Then why do you jump at anyone that think that ?
Or why you didn't answer any of my questions for that matter.
They sounded rhetorical. Also, couldn't be arsed. My original post was intended as just a silly quip.
Noted
Cheer up.
Don't worry about me.
It's nearly Christmas. I'm godless, too, but even I like Christmas. :-)
Christmas is also a pagan holiday. Santa Claus has nothing to do with religion.
She's probably going to get better offers.
She's got all the assets she needs !
Wow. Sorry. Didn't mean to offend your god.
I am godless, so you didn't offend my god. Note that you didn't offend me either, so there really is no need to apologize.

The real laymen will have a truckload of issues. For one, the start button is gone. How are they supposed to know how to start an app?
You lost 70% of your users right there. No need to go any further.

So by your standard, all children that were 4 before cell phones were invented are now retards? Does that include you?
Okay, you got great quotes. Good for you.

It is more than unfair. It is illegal in most civilized countries.

Dude, what planet are you from?
Very honestly, they get bad press, but the app is far away from being as bad as it is being depicted everywhere. It fucking works for god's sake!
Of course, there are goofs and mistakes, but overall it's a pretty solid app that works.
And they call Apple zealots fanbois...
