SAP patched this problem back in 2010, and issued security notes for it made available to all its customers, and notified them all. The problem here is that some customers don't pay attention to their security notices and carry on regardless.
They are also first and foremost a business, that makes money, human rights come a long way after that. Its no coincidence that well over 1% of the US population resides behind bars.
If they really did get all of our SIMs private keys (which seems quite likely) the costs will be extreme to replace all SIMs - so it seems to me that this is what they want us to believe to keep costs down.
or perhaps, allegedly, Apple's legal team put these people (the plaintiffs) up to it just so they could easily dismiss future suits of this type. I wouldn't put it past them.
Firstly this kind of technique can be applied in post processing with better results (not wanting to advertise but for example using photomatix ) than can be achieved in the camera. In post processing this technique can be applied equally to Canon or Nikon or Sony or Panasonic (pick your favourite manufacturer) images, and really the only reason it hasn't reached Nikon/Sony/others in camera yet is that there isn't such a big firmware modding community following with Nikon/Sony/others. So Canon certainly has that advantage (a bigger modding community) - (but then again as the meme goes; "Canon is the camera designed by engineers for engineers and Nikon the camera designed by photographers for photographers").
OK - so now try using this technique to take pictures of objects that are moving; you instantly see the benefit of a sensor with inbuilt increased dynamic range. HDR photography relies on multiple exposures being combined together. This means that they are forced to be static, either that or they suffer from side effects such as ghosting , where anything moving across the image will be present in one of the exposures - and not necessarily in the same place in the other, leading to some weird looking end results. Alignment of the image is another issue - you need the camera on a tripod to make this work really well. So really this technique does not replace a superior
When your kids go round to their mates house and they got a playstation 4 / Xbox 1 and pretty soon your kid will think your old 8 bit games really suck.
Cold weather reduces battery life significantly, both overall battery life and usage from a single charge, so these cars maybe great in the Californian climate - but here where I live in Scandinavia - they don't make much sense, probably what we need is a bit more global warming first to make them more effective...
Without doubt terrorism is just an excuse(and a very frequent and overused one at that), they are doing this to gain an espionage advantage over others pure and simple.
The independent has some very good journalists and good stories, although slightly more tabloid oriented they are quite happy to take on the establishment. Especially a certain Robert Fisk (if you're interested in middle east news at all) his columns are unmatched.
Back in the 70s my father traveled from Aberdeen to London. In his baggage he had several kilos of explosives for an outdoor son et lumiere production he was the technical theater manager for. He was stopped by the security guard before boarding the plane. The guard asked "Sir what do you have in these bags" my father replied "explosives", the guard then replied "very funny sir" and waved him onto the plane. Times have changed... but it might surprise you what people think they can carry onto a plane.
Thats nice cos right now Samsung refuses to sell any galaxy S4's with more than 16GB in Europe from what I can see. The cynic in me thinks this is because if they can sell you a phone with less memory then you will be looking to upgrade it sooner. My Galaxy S2 also has 16GB - and I've run out of app space on that so as soon as I upgrade I'll be close to running out of app space on a new S4 too.
It certainly makes US based cloud services a lot less appealing to all non US based businesses - and surely that will then put pressure on service providers who in turn should start lobbying so maybe there will be a response to this in time.
Interesting, I've always suspected it was some kind of monopoly arrangement - the Swedes seem to love these. I've travelled quite a bit - but I cannot think of another airport with a similar arrangement.
Stockholms Arlanda airport likes to charge an additional fee / tarrif for travellers to enter the airport from the rail station (in addition to the price of the ticket), there is no other exit from the station (its underground). I've often wondered what they would do if I were to get of the train without paying this fee - and then set the fire alarms of at the station or something. Or if someone were to get off the train at the airport without enough money to enter the airport itself, would they find themselves trapped as a prisoner to the airport authorities?

So its BMW's programming team verses Google's, I know where I'm placing my money...

So it seems to me that GCHQ are admitting that mass surveillance is no longer effective after Edward Snowden.
Al Murray has covered this topic in some depth here .

A shame I cannot edit (on new slashdot) to correct my own posts - as a few words appear truncated...
Here's guessing that the EU competition commission won't like this much at all. So I guess this version won't be for the European market.

Also Turing was known to frequently conduct experiments involving cyanide, and it is suspected that his death was more an accident than intentional.

The kind that appeals to readers of The Daily Mail.

You'll be on one end and the NSA is on the other, ready to forward to your intended receiver. Seriously can we still trust google with anything?
