That has nothing to do with OS 'decay': it's the user installing - wittingly or unwittingly - too many resource hungry programs. The solution is simple enough: just uninstall whatever is not actually needed.
no, its not quite that simple.
remember defragging hard drives? remember windows registry files? remember the "add or remove programs" control panel? all of these things represent design decisions that cause computers to be cruftier over time.
I think that one was a vulnerability in iOS 4.1. Since then there have been a variety of tethered and untethered jailbreaks. All have required directly interacting with the physical device, and all these holes have been plugged up quickly once the vulnerability is released.
well, considering that over 50% of all iOS devices are running iOS 8, and no jailbreak exists for this OS, i think there are a lot of people who hasnt jailbroken their phones. anecdotally, I don't know anybody that has done this. oh wait I know one guy but he was a bit of a wanker.
i thought the first gun control laws came in after all the depression era gangster tommy gun john dillinger stuff. also, notably, when hollywood got really good at putting fear into people through stories.
So, the question begging to be asked is whether jailbreaking phones in China by the owner is a common occurrence or if the phones are sold "pre-jailbroken" by a larger agency and able to download and install these hacks at will?
ooh, that's a good question! are all iphones jailbroken by the time they hit the apple store? If you install a new OS version, will that overwrite the covert jailbreaking or is the jailbreaking embedded so deep that you can't get around it? I don't know the answers to these questions.
+1000 relevant. when any iOS malware is reported, the first question is, "does it require jailbreaking". To my knowledge all of the trojan/spyware/NSAware/etc require a jailbroken iphone.
here you go, internet. Epic working to bring data sharing with Apple Health:
EHR giant Epic explains how it will bring Apple HealthKit data to doctors http://venturebeat.com/2014/09/17/ehr-giant-epic-explains-how-it-will-bring-apple-healthkit-data-to-doctors/
Epic Systems, the dominant EHR provider in hospitals and large medical groups, has been working with Apple on its HealthKit consumer health data initiative. But until now, the famously media-shy Epic and the famously secretive Apple have said very little about how the HealthKit ecosystem will work to the benefit of clinicians. But Epic has begun to talk.
Apple launched its new iOS 8 mobile operating system today, and a significant feature in that release is the Health app, which stores various types of our health data. You can think of HealthKit as a consumer health-information cloud data repository that connects to, and receives information from, a variety of consumer devices (connected scales, fitness trackers, smartwatches, etc.) and apps (food diaries, calorie counters, workout journals, and so on).
People in the health care industry hoped for more from Apple’s HealthKit platform than just amassing and sharing wearables data among app and device makers. They wanted HealthKit to make a difference. They wanted it to make people healthier.
A large platform collecting billions of data points about hundreds of aspects of our health on a daily basis might create a powerful information resource for health care providers and researchers. But in order for that to happen, the data will have to find a way into clinical systems, like the electronic health record (EHR).
“Apple’s HealthKit has tremendous potential to help close the gap between consumer collected data and data collected in traditional healthcare settings,” said Epic president Carl Dvorak in an email to VentureBeat. “The Epic customer community, which provides care to over 170 million patients a year, will be able to use HealthKit through Epic’s MyChart application—the most used patient portal in the U.S.”
The “customer community” Dvorak refers to is the hundreds of clinics and hospitals that use the Epic EHR. Patients use the Epic MyChart app to access elements of their own patient record from the Epic EHR. But note that the EHR accesses HealthKit data from the MyChart app, not via a direct integration with the HealthKit platform.
“While Apple will never mirror your Health data to iCloud (or allow another app to do that), once you provision access to another app, they may transport it elsewhere (e.g., to your provider’s EHR), but only if that particular endpoint allows access,” said Malay Gandhi of the accelerator Rock Health.
This may have been by design to avoid regulatory or privacy issues that might have arisen from Apple storing personal health data on its servers and then transmitting it past a health provider’s firewall and into clinical systems within. Here’s how Epic spokesman Brian Spranger describes the movement of data starting at the consumer device and ending at the Epic EHR.
“A consumer health app, like the Withings Scale, will notify HealthKit that it has a new weight and ask HealthKit to store that weight in the database on the iPhone,” he said.
Notice that the weight data that the scale collects doesn’t sit in the HealthKit cloud; it’s on the user’s phone.
“If the patient has given permission for the MyChart app on their phone to know about that data, HealthKit “wakes up” the MyChart app and tells it there’s new data,” Spranger said.
So in this regard, HealthKit acts more like a traffic cop, connecting to devices and directing them to send or store data, all guided by privacy rules.
“The MyChart app on the phone then transmits that weight back to the EpicCare EHR system where it
I don't know what google health is, but I have no doubt it breaks all health privacy laws as the point is to mine your health data to advertise to you better. I also don't know what AppleMed is, but I'm using Apple Health today and it works well. Linked up my Jawbone UP24 to it. I hope to get one of those scales that uploads the weight as well.
^ amen.if I had to choose between police installing spyware and gun nuts making their own automatic rifle receivers, I would gladly choose the latter. the police are out of control. They kill at least 400 people a year, likely more because they don't keep good statistics. how many people do gun nutters shoot?
think of it this way: when dems had unbridled power (owning executive, house, and senate), they enacted the largest entitlement program in nearly a century without spending any time on discussion. they basically stamped any doc given to them by industry. repubs are crying out, time out mofos! and trying to move towards some measure of debate.
"You can't get Ebola from someone showing no symptoms."
true, but bear in mind that includes running a fever. How well do you recognize someone with a slight fever?
i got one of those IR cameras for my iphone. not just one of those gimmicky apps, and actual IR sensor.
"As to the US doing everything right, where did I reference the US?" I had assumed the OP was talking about Canada being the good country and US being the unruly neighbor.
"As to congress doing nothing, you will find that the Senate has likewise done nothing." Policy fail. Congress = house of representatives and the senate.
+1 million. it's not about being incompetent or not knowing how to do it. it's that we're all busy with life and don't have free hours to dive in to something like this. outside of work I recently picked up a new "hobby" and it poops all the time and wakes me up in the middle of the night
when will the government learn that the best thing they can do is butt out, and the worst thing they can do is try to regulate something they only dimly understand? the most dangerous words in the english language are "I am from the government"
are you familiar with the lone ninja paradox? the lone ninja is a force of silent death that cannot be stopped. He can climb buildings, sneak past guards, assassinate emperors, and accomplish any number of impossible tasks. But when you gather a bunch of ninjas into a large clan, they are essentially incompetent and will be defeated by pretty much any enemy, especially a lone ninja.

finally, a sane definition of the word terrorist! although i would narrow it down to 4chan/b/ and 4chan/r/

it's funny to think that in 30 years all of the Linux, Windows, and OSX will be like Solaris, and everything will be iOS/Android.

I am kinda curious where this 'the 2nd amendment is so we can keep the government in check' idea came from. Historically it is complete nonsense.
well the idea is in the text of the 2nd amendment itself, "a well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state".

Do you somehow find yourself aggrieved by not being able to carry a sword with you? Is it ruining your cyberpunk look or something?
Or are you just looking for things to kvetch about?
I should think there's very little call for walking around with a sword.
Yeah, what a whiner! Complaining cuz police are gunning down citizens for no reason...
^ amen.if I had to choose between police installing spyware and gun nuts making their own automatic rifle receivers, I would gladly choose the latter. the police are out of control. They kill at least 400 people a year, likely more because they don't keep good statistics. how many people do gun nutters shoot?

as to the house plus the senate... that would technically be the legislature or the legislative branch...
No, the legislative branch is congress. Congress is composed of the house and senate.

"As to congress doing nothing, you will find that the Senate has likewise done nothing." Policy fail. Congress = house of representatives and the senate.
