You don't get (understand) 92 billion light years.
The observable universe is that big because, in the 13-14 billion years that light has been travelling from "out there" to here, space has been expanding. That means that the most distant objects we can see are now 90+ billion light years away. They weren't that far away when the light left.
How else is one expected to handle high-DPI displays?
By detecting them and serving different images. By serving integer or at least rationally scaled images. By not bothering and just assuming 1px=1 pixel, as most people normally do (including grown-up BBC News)
The point is somewhat moot, since the kind of scaling Newsbeat engages in is of the following form:
235px × 132px (scaled to 267px × 150px) (~1.1363x) 200px × 112px (scaled to 204px × 115px) (~1.02x) 625px × 351px (scaled to 645px × 362px) (~1.032x)
But if you don't believe me, try starting in Oxford street, heading East until you hit the north circular, take it round to Woolwich then take the south circular round to Richmond.
South of the river at this time of night? You must be 'avin a giraffe.
The beauty of their attack is that it doesn't rely on iOS software vulnerabilities, the customary way that hackers commandeer computers. It simply takes advantage of design issues in iOS

I don't buy 92 billion light years.

As Einstein showed, yes things are relative.
"Things," eh? Any particular "things"?
He also showed that one particular thing was absolute, if you recall.
So how would we use alpha particles?
The Flight of Gifted Engineers From NASA...
...ended with a bang because they mixed up centimetres and inches.

Which will look soft on any display.
They specifically pointed out the cases where people record or take photos of parts of the game from their phones and post to Twitter/Vine.
And said what about them? They're presumably covered there by the T&C's of admission/ticket holding.
Those are all part of the same complete work. A sports broadcast could be regarded as an (almost incidental) recording of a separate performance.
It might be considered unfair use if, say, you were commenting on the life of Jesus with clips from The Passion of the Christ as illustration.
Again, Devil's advocate.
That said, as long as the clip is no longer than 3 minutes, it is not illegal in itself.
Where is that rule written down?
Although it's not immediately obvious, the article is about posting (mobile phone or other) video of copyrighted video.
Being able to pause and rewind live TV has made it easier for anyone to film footage from a match.
It's Newsbeat, which might be where they stick the work experience kids. They scale the images on their HTML pages, for heaven's sake!
Woe if you post any significant segment of a US football game.
Yes, even posting a single second of those 11 minutes could land you in jail!
The story is about taking video of video.
along with commentary like "Manchester United played a great game today, with three goals including this exciting one by Bob Smith"
Then you're not commenting on the footage. You're commenting on the activity depicted, not the depiction. /Devil's advocate
They are claiming copyright over their own footage.
The phenomena at question is that of people uploading mobile phone footage of TV footage, not of their own video of the match.
But if you don't believe me, try starting in Oxford street, heading East until you hit the north circular, take it round to Woolwich then take the south circular round to Richmond.

A Thousand Kilobots
So that's like, what, 1024000 bots?
three decades in the industry and I've never seen performance measured or stated in MHz.
Did someone do that in any of the linked articles?
The beauty of their attack is that it doesn't rely on iOS software vulnerabilities, the customary way that hackers commandeer computers. It simply takes advantage of design issues in iOS
Then the design issue is a vulnerability, surely?
Whoosh.
Who hasn't asked Siri that.
In this case, the accused. It didn't happen.

Why have you started your reply (which is a sentence fragment, by the way) with superfluous punctuation?
Why not have both?
Now, that's not true. Some of them vote for the second most stupid politician.
No it's not. It's rather silly, really.
RTS: Apparently not, although it might be hard to make it obvious which way they can be oriented.
with Type-D they'll figure out how to go reversible and genderless
The two are mutually exclusive, aren't they?
