There will be. Unfortunately, those who would take over our computers do not share our lack of imagination.
The question is: will those case already be fixed by the existing "fast" patches? At least the first patch (that everybody but Apple rushed out) was nothing but duct tape over the big visible hole. It certainly didn't fix the underlying problem.
That's not a "dirty secret". Having a single component that launches all daemons is a laudable improvement over the adhoc, multiple methods that had grown up in Unix like OSs.
Linux has political problems between Linus and the systemd team, and systemd may be overreaching. None of which is relevant to OSXs entirely different component launchd.
And if anyone thinks there's any copying going on here, take note of the direction - OSX launchd dates back to 2005. Linux systemd to 2010.
They noted less sea ice, they noted the walruses, they noted AGW, and just linked A to B to C without bothering to any science in between. That is my problem.
It's probably completely bogus. The sea ice isn't far from normal for this time of year, and higher than in other recent years. It's higher than in 2005, not quite as high as 2006.
Why do you bring up all of the Arctic to tell us there must be sea ice around Alaska - there fucking isn't: http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/ice.p...
Or, to quote TFA: "In recent years, sea ice has receded north beyond shallow continental shelf waters and into Arctic Ocean water, where depths exceed 2 miles and walrus cannot dive to the bottom."
But nooo, the walrus are just taking a hiatus on the beach because they are imagining things. When they should be swimming north a couple hundred miles.
If someone says, "oh look, it's warm out, that proves global warming," they are a warmist.
If someone says, "oh look, it's cold out, that disproves global warming," they are a denialist.
Neither side is scientific.
And if somebody is saying "Oh look, there is no warming. It's a 'hiatus'", they are falling for the golden mean fallacy.
Targeting and suppression of people using a tech device isn't news that matters? Seriously go fuck yourself and stop speaking for everyone on slashdot like you're our representative.
So pointing out that to suppress people they would have to jailbreak their iPhones is useless information that just aids in the suppression, but not even mentioning the existence of Android apps related to the Trojan is utterly okay.
How is it FUD that protesters in Hong Kong are being targeted for malware? You might not have to worry about it with a no jailbreak phone, but you probably also don't have to worry about it if you aren't in Hong Kong protesting the Chinese Government hand selecting candidates for the elections.
Feel free to go back to sticking your head in the sand and not worrying about the troubles of people around the globe as long as things are rosy in your neighborhood.
And somehow you think the protestors are not to worry about the (older) Android Trojan that shares the same C&C servers. Which for some reason seem to be located in South Korea?
If this ruling sticks then a major adjustment in AAPL's price is coming down the tracks. Should be good for roughly a 15-20% drop. At 16, AAPL's p/e is looking a little pricey in any case. Other tech perps are no doubt peering anxiously over their shoulders but AAPL is the standout bad actor.
Meh, corporations will simply set up mailboxes on Mars, much like they do in Luxembourg or Lichtenstein,
You are confusing that with Delaware. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C... - this single-story building is the (US-) residence of 6,500 corporations, and more than 200,000 businesses.
But if the Irish laws supported Apple what's the legal basis for trying to claim back taxes?
I believe that the claim is that *both* Apple and the Irish government colluded to bypass Irish laws (derived from EU directives). In that case the Irish government is also going to be in trouble, treaty-wise.
You, like most her, completely misunderstood what's going on. QTFA: "While the companies themselves aren't under investigation, their input is being sought because they would be required to return any unpaid taxes."
I repeat: Apple is not under investigation, they will not be fined. The worst that can happen to them is be required to pay taxes saved. It's only Ireland who is in trouble (and the other countries under investigation).
Id like to believe if this issue was widespread, we would have heard about it when the note 3 launched.. or the GS5... or the (insert other flagship phone here) was released. I mean the iphone 6 hasnt been out a week, This will end up becoming a much bigger issue than antennagate
Yeah, because all the problems with Samsung products or labour issues had the same media exposure as those from Apple. And yes, this will be a bigger issue than Antennagate, because nobody but the haters will care about it in 4 weeks instead of 3 weeks.
Same thing i posted above. Apple has their iAd service with "customized" ads with apple taking 30% of the revenue and the developer taking the remaining 70%.
So, Google ads = BAD, apple ads = Good because?
Because nobody ever complained about Google not giving enough private information about their customers (that is people buying their products) to the advertisers while those complaints exist about Apple.
"While the exploit Balic says he reported to Apple shares a stark resemblance to the exploit allegedly used in the so-called "Celebgate" hack, it is currently unclear if they are the same vulnerability."
Not even directly said in the article, only in the screenshots of the emails: "Same issue consists with other companies too", "found the same issue with Google"
Depends on the depth of the pockets. My razr rests flat against my thigh, well below the bend.
Yes, Hip-Hopper are clearly at an advantage here, as are those with tiny phones like a razr. 4.7" assuming you have the "huge" HD? Are you seroius with your micro phone?
Even more interestingly, the Samsung didn't permanently bend, but the flex of the case allowed damage to the screen. The Sony failures occurred in BACK pockets. The sole Blackberry bend occurred from "unknown causes" - which could have been anything the owner doesn't want to admit, not just a front-pocket failure.
What do you think is so damn special about a front pocket that it would magically protect a phone? As soon as the phone lies across the hip joint, the force on it when sitting down is far greater than the fattest ass could manage.
And yet I've had two of those phones and I've never experienced anything close to the bending issue. Neither has anyone I know (Blackberries and S4's are pretty prevalent through my friends and co-workers), nor have I seen any news about it.
Exactly. We only have discussion threads with hundreds of posts discussing the issue of those phones bending, and no news reports for any but the Apple phones. It looks like we found the true difference after all.
I find it curious in their examples, that four of the nine devices susceptible to bending are Apples, and one of the five non-Apple examples involved the device being smashed while sitting on its docking station. If one eliminates that specific outlier and focuses on phones that bend while in their users' pockets, then the iPhone line is a solid half of all types reported in their article.
Yeah, there are more reports about problems with Apple phones - because they sell far more units than any other phone model. And its inconceivable to find more examples of other phones bending by simply Googling.

Not to mention that launchd is Open Source.

Ok you want real science? Here is what the Zoologist Dr. Susan Crockford has to say on the subject: Mass haulouts of Pacific walrus and stampede deaths are not new, not due to low ice cover AGW may have severe effects on the environment (18 year pause anyone?), but THIS is not one of them.
This is the usual "Banks have been robbed even before I was born, so I couldn't have possibly robbed this one" tactic the deniers love so much.

Quite an unfortunate name - until you consider she's financed by the Heartland Institute. Quite fitting, actually.

As usual some ass hat doesn't read the article before commenting.
The article itself doesn't mention the jail break portion. How do you expect the poster to?
This is Slashdot, most don't even bother reading the summary, let alone the article to the part where the real info is hidden.

Then please do short Apple - this should be fun.

I can install cyanogenmod on my android devices if i want,
No, you can install it if it's supported, officially or as a hack of dubious quality. On the vast majority of Android devices you can't.

Well okay, but patches are available for the major Linux distributions.
And most of them have new problems or don't fix the old one.
Depends on the depth of the pockets. My razr rests flat against my thigh, well below the bend.

That ultimately the BASH vulnerability would be used to blame Apple for bad security.
