My experience with the original iPad losing App support due to the iOS limitation is why I WONT buy another iPad.
Android apps don't really care what firmware runs on your device, so the apps generally keep working.
You mean Android apps usually aren't written to support newer Android versions, because hardly anyone uses them anyway. Yeah, yours is probably the way to put a positive spin on that fact.
I don't dispute the facts of the article or any of the points made in your post. My contention is that nothing leaks out of Apple unless Apple wants it to be leaked. Apple has made the protection of user data a cornerstone of their smart device strategy. We saw nearly zero leaks out of Apple for the last 10 years yet suddenly we now get inside information about how their engineers reacted to the potential of having to compromise their encryption and now how their business group is reacting to pressure to utilize user data, both stories which support Apple's strategy. You'd have to be cynical not to believe that these leaks weren't humble brags straight from Apple HQ.
What's your point? That you would only entrust your data to companies that can't even keep their own company secrets to themselves?
Based on what we know from the plea agreement and prosecutors, it appears that one major part of Celebgate is much less elaborate than what some 4chan users claimed at the time: that many of the photos were stolen through a clever exploitation of a previously unknown iCloud security flaw — a claim that Apple had denied.
Instead, Collins used a method of gaining access to password-protected accounts that can victimize pretty much anyone. Phishing schemes come in a lot of different flavors, but all follow the same basic outline: Users are tricked into giving out sensitive information by malicious email accounts or websites that appear legitimate. Spear phishing, which appears to be what happened here, involves targeting specific users by impersonating businesses or individuals they might already know.
According to court filings, Collins stole photos, videos and sometimes entire iPhone backups from at least 50 iCloud accounts and 72 Gmail accounts,
Just three days ago I saw a report on Syriac Christians Brigade, whose greatest hero is a female fighter that killed 20 ISIS fighters by suicide bombing.
Don't give me that "Christians would never do that" shit. Christians constantly are in the news for shooting innocent civilians, blowing up car bombs, bulldozing and dynamiting the cultural treasures of other religions, raping children or setting fire to crowded movie theatres showing "The Last Temptation of Christ" - but they are rarely identified as "Christians". That's my fucking point, you idiot.
Yeah, because when Europe had border controls, there was no terrorism. Period.
Yes, because putting a lock on your door and having a criminal break in your house anyway is EXACTLY the same as leaving your door wide open with a big sign in your front yard reading "Free cash and valuables inside!"
Gee, I suggest you lock yourself up in your home and let your children kill you. You know, to make the whole analogy to home-grown terrorism complete.
Well, Christians don't have a holy book that tells them to slay the infidels and take their women and treasure. Islam does. Do we still not know this in two thousand fucking sixteen?
So Christians just do that for fun and profet (pun intended).
What suicide vest? You know something about the attacks we don't know yet?
The fact that you are trying to change the subject from your generalist claim about fondling and groping vs. carry-on luggage screening to the specific attacks is noted.
The fact that they were committed before any fondling and groping and carry-on luggage screening took place just shows how fucking dumb that switch was.
Yeah, it's always "only some Christians but all Muslims", isn't it?
It absolutely is NOT all Muslims - terrorism and suicide bombers are something very much foreign to Shia Muslims. It is almost exclusively Sunni Muslims who engage in terrorism.
We should stop labeling all Muslims as potential terrorists and be a bit more discriminating.
Errm. No. Iran is 100% Shi'a, and well-known for "state-sponsored" terrorism. Hezbollah is 100% Shi'a.
If you had claimed Ahmadiyya, you would have had a chance. But wait - they aren't True Muslim, right?
How often do bombs go off in crowded areas in Israel?
Yeah. That's why the latest round of terrorism in Israel are attacks with kitchen knifes. If you don't count the mistreatment of the Palestinians as terrorism.
There was drastically less terrorism. I can't really think of any significant Europe terrorist attacks between WW2 and the late 90s.
What are you, twenty? Even ignoring the Left, Right and separatist terrorism, there was even more Islamic terror back then. All the "terrorism sponsoring" by Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi happened back then.
No, it's a justification for breaking up the EU and reinstating border controls like we've had for the vast majority of history. Because there was a goddamn reason we had them.
Yeah, because when Europe had border controls, there was no terrorism. Period.
Honestly? Islam needs to schism the way the Church did so that the crazies that are left are easily identified, and the moderates who don't think of violence in any practical way have their own IslamV2.0
Facepalm. You are aware that the schism in Islam happened just a few decades after it was founded? Shiites vs. Sunnites? The conflict that still cause much more deaths than terrorism against non-Muslims? No?
Slashdot Mirror
So the ten commandments are out?
tl;dr - especially since you proved to be full of shit in your first paragraph.
Besides Apple just released this.
Wow -- Apple finally has a way to interface conveniently with camera photos on an SD Card?? Welcome to the year 2005, folks.
Errm. 2005 is spot on.
Just by making an OS X tablet would get the tablet market back for Apple.

Considering the head start,Google Maps should be miles ahead compared to Apple Maps instead of "sometimes better, sometimes worse".
Except, wasn't the whole Jennifer Lawrence naked photos scandal all about images leaked out of an iPhone? Wasn't it images on an Apple cloud drive??
Nope, more than half were from hacked Gmail accounts - keep up with the news, binge shitter.

As just a minor reminder of history, the first Crusade was an organized reinforcement of a nation being overrun by Muslim invaders.
Just as a reminder: most people killed by Christians in the Crusades weren't Muslims.
Yeah, because when Europe had border controls, there was no terrorism. Period.

The Belgian news is calling it a kamikaze
So they flew a plane into the airport?
Only certain 'Christian' factions in the USA.
Yeah, it's always "only some Christians but all Muslims", isn't it?

Where in the New Testament does it command Christians to kill, rape, lie to further the religion?
True Christians also believe in the Old Testament.Where do you think Muhammed got those ideas from?
"More than 50 people die in accidents on European roads on average per day."
The difference is that highway accidents are not associated with a million rabid insurgents who admit upfront to wanting to kill Europeans.
Nope, they are associated with tens of millions of rabid people who can't drive.
There was drastically less terrorism. I can't really think of any significant Europe terrorist attacks between WW2 and the late 90s.
What are you, twenty? Even ignoring the Left, Right and separatist terrorism, there was even more Islamic terror back then. All the "terrorism sponsoring" by Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi happened back then.
How did we ever fly safely before we got groped and fondled?
Oh, I know: We still had our carry-on luggage screened. Like, forever. Which would have stopped this kind of attack against a plane.
If you want to strawman, at least use one that can catch fire.
Errm, does a suicide-west count as carry-on luggage? Can it be detected by "groping"?
No, it's a justification for breaking up the EU and reinstating border controls like we've had for the vast majority of history. Because there was a goddamn reason we had them.
Yeah, because when Europe had border controls, there was no terrorism. Period.

Making God Proud Since ... well, forever.

Facepalm. You are aware that the schism in Islam happened just a few decades after it was founded? Shiites vs. Sunnites? The conflict that still cause much more deaths than terrorism against non-Muslims? No?
Well, go on then.
I think they're just rolling out these products outside of the normal release schedule (prior to WWDC)
You mean unlike Apple's March 2015 event? Or their March 2011 and 2012 events?
Or their other products coming out all through the year?
That's funny, because I thought a smug sense of superiority came with every Apple purchase.
Odd how we have two anti-Apple posts with it, and we are only three posts in.
