It may not be using your FaceID information, but it is getting your face data,
Yes, it's doing that by using the normal camera that you gave it permission to use. This is true on any phone with a good front facing camera. It has nothing in particular to do with Apple or its restrictions. You use the phrase "walled garden" in this case, but don't you want the OS controlling access to that camera? That's a totally separate notion from the meaning of walled garden, which is a reference to Apple's controlling the app store, not the OS requiring user permission to access features.
Apps are not getting access to "facial data". They're getting access to the front camera, just like every other stupid app on every platform that does stuff with it.
They still suck at bridge, because players have to infer so much. Yes, Go is different because there's complete information, but what's really impressive about the Go dominance is that it came so suddenly. Before Alpha Go no program could challenge even strong club players, and the approach to playing like chess is a failure at Go. Amazingly, the difference in strength between the computer and top human is now much greater in Go than it is in chess.
It's a bug. A stupid bug, but I'm sure it wasn't intentional and that they'll fix it.
Of course it's a bug, but how do you not see it within the first five minutes of testing? When I saw this earlier I thought the claim must be ridiculous, but it's actually more difficult to avoid this problem than it is to demonstrate it. I like my Apple stuff and I get a new iPhone every year, but iOS 11 and Mac OS High Sierra are rife with small disappointments and annoyances like this.
Great, yet another way for boomer to f**k millennials and gen-Y.
The sense of entitlement is strong in this one. "Those old farts had better die on schedule and get out of my way." You too will be an old fart one day, except that these treatments will be much further along and you'll be the one telling the kids to fuck off.
but should one bank of a country that's been in recession have just shy of $1 trillion to throw around?
I know it! I called them up the other day to ask where their ATMs were and they said they didn't have any! Maybe they should fix that tech first before investing in other stuff. Sheesh, what's wrong with these people??
It's easier to take off gloves for a quick auth than it is a hat, scarf, sunglasses, etc.
If you happen to be in such an environment, but you can still take off your gloves, then you can just use your passcode to authenticate. Everyone is different, but for me it's much more likely that my hands are wet, making touch ID fail while face ID still works just fine.
Big Media wants to close the analog hole. If there's a purely analog channel, such as a 3.5 mm audio jack or a RCA video output on a PC, it's trivial to make recordings of copyrighted content.
This story is about Google lowering the price on something that provides that analog hole, so I'm not quite 100% certain that your logic holds up.
So you don't think having the information in one place is better than having in many places? I'm not following your logic here. It's not the transaction that's the concern, it's the personal info.
Stop collecting and storing data on your customers. If you don't have it, it can NOT be hacked.
That's why I use Apple Pay whenever I can. The retailer gets no information other than "paid". If I had an Android phone I would use whatever the equivalent is over there. Apple and Google have a lot less chance of being hacked, unlike the near-certainty for so many of these outfits.

It's still not a suicide unless the dog agrees.

Yeah. The keys are like right next to each other.
The patent troll business model is essentially the purchasing of potential legal claims.
Here's a list.

ok, made me smile :-)
Nothing? what would qualify as "high tech" to you?

Something like this? Or do you mean more generally?
They don't care about that. What advertisers don't want to happen is to be accused of, for example, funding terrorists by running ads on those videos.

Does not make sense.
I know it! I called them up the other day to ask where their ATMs were and they said they didn't have any! Maybe they should fix that tech first before investing in other stuff. Sheesh, what's wrong with these people??
I know an old lady like that.
Yes, unfortunately it was scarily close to real life.
What if your hands are wet?
You're in luck then, because it doesn't do that.
Apple has never claimed that, Not once. What they are claiming is that their implementation is superior, and it is.

Sure, but as you didn't actually say it, how can we calculate the per say ratio?
