...the article title was a kind of phishing itself. When will you learn there is a difference between bait and chum? In the least iOS should be removed from the title - the issues described can happen to most any device OS.
Looking at the original article, they are not peer reviewed and they have loads of fun citing only their previous articles that claim the same thing. Are they looking at small dust particles and thinking they see 'plankton' or is it really there? - a greater mystery than their paper can answer.
...because your gratuitous use of "tantrum" is just bait. We don't know anything more than an addendum was filed and you add "tantrum". This is not only how rumors get started, but how you can falsely gain the label of 'idiot".
The poster says he was contacted by someone who says he is the hacker. Nothing was confirmed about AppleCare involvement, though it is a possibility - especially if the hacker knows his victim. But the best part? The INSANE posts to the original article: Death threats from "Navy Seals", tons of homophobic comments and hatred for days. Oddly, very few were able to respond directly to the original post since the comments were so ridiculously incendiary. Sadly the adage still applies:Think before you post or you are toast!
I have a concern about this, but can't address it because of the hypocrisy: Odd to have the government so deeply concerned about invasion of privacy when they have implimented numerous policies that greatly curtail it. Now if Chuck were interested in pointing fingers at both groups, we might have something...
...because if they did, they might remember a little incident of assisting the chinese government with its great firewall. And those pesky others? Coincidentally competitors. For a company with such deep search capabilities, they are amazingly blind sighted when it concerns themselves.
How we react to this should be independent of our feelings about Stratfor. I recall a breaking at a a certain hotel Watergate which upon discovery, had drastic consequences for its perpetrators . Why should we stop to congratulate these guys for breaking in any organization?
Yep, without clear guidelines we only have warm fuzzy 'good intentions". Those don't show on a resume. Nor does an extended indentured servitude. There are possible good perks here, but the practice of it outweighs them. Anyone here have similar experiences with grad school? Med rotations? Let the intern beware...
I have little interest in Blu-Ray. Not because it can hold more or that the picture is better, but because the movie companies are trying to sell me the same thing again at a higher price. Their larger capacity is irrelevant- if a movie only needs a portion of it, I care little for directors and actors talking over the movie, and while extra scenes can be fun, they are not worth the extra dost. Take a look at the media ecosystem; they fianlly get on board with an 'approved' means of delivery then gradually abandon all others. This forces people to buy the same things at increasingly higher prices. Look at VHS, laserdiscs and cassettes. Blu-Ray? Maybe for Avatar, but never for "To Have And Have Not".
...faith, however essential to your psychological well being, is not. That Fenyman stated he din't know all about a subject is normal- even Einstein said that we really don't know all it takes to get water down a garden hose. But allowing such statements to be tantamount to faith is to, ironically, take them at face value or on faith. Pause, ask a few relevant questions. Have an hypothesis in mind. Test. Verify. So starts the scientific method. Do whatever you need for your faith, just don't confuse it with science.
It can also be argued that Amazon can offer its often much lower pricing because of lack of sales tax. If you make people in any state pay taxes its regressive and yet....Amazon caused a lot of book stores and such to go out of business- I'm certain not only is that the greater loss but it was nigh impossible to compete with since any local store has to pay local taxes.
Uhm, a RUMORS site implies something about a job posting at Apple and this becomes 'Apple hints'? Does anybody question what they read anymore? Also, the kind of payment system they are imagining being worked on isn't even mentioned!
"What is the air speed of an unladen swallow?" Got whisked away- thought so.
My how the worm turns! Instead of 'do no harm' Googles real mantra appears to be 'blame yourself for using our services'. Its good and proper to raise awareness to what extent data retention may affect you, but it is another to not allow access to what is otherwise considered personal data. Google loves to collect it, but heaven help you should you need to remove it. We have lots of sneaky ways to obtain data about people with no one stepping up to the plate and saying 'Here's your profile, change it at any time' Instead, we are only given ways to save it and with effort, retrieve it. You would think one should likewise be able to alter it. After all, even Google knows you can change your name. So why not your data?
FIrst, the methods used in polling are not clearly specified. It is very easy to ask leading questions and very easy to interpret in a skewed manner. I am more saddened by the need to polarize responses as exhibited by this piece (all under the gentle guise of consumer reporting, what could be more innocent, innocuous?) - apparently these studies also show there is no longer a spectrum of behavior. That alone should raise a few geek AND elite eyebrows. In sum, for troll bait like this, it should be served under a bridge...
Thank you for this post. I'm tired of processed, sanitized 'reality' and gee-whiz science. You want reality TV? Show me an single mother of three trying to make ends meet, not idiots running an obstacle course through a jungle (curiously plagued with multiple cameras)trying to win a piece of pizza. What we need to do is sell the value of science and not its 'sexiness', so as to make it a worthwhile career not reliant on TV cameras and out sourced labor. Phew! rant over- now THAT would have suited the pr talking heads just fine...
McSweeny's has a great article on this, broad reaching in its investigation of the many problems at hand. One thing that troubles me: I have seen many times in the California University and Transportation groups, failure to use earthquake retro-fit funds - they simply use them elsewhere. Its only when a problem like this arises that we learn they have not been used.
LaTeX is worth learning, because the other options involve a lot of clicking as well. Mac OS X has Grapher - open the equation pallet, click what you need, then drag the resulting equation to your note document - and it's free!. MathLab is similar in this regard, but you must pay for it. Either way, it may be more work than you would like. Good Luck!
...but did you notice no one mentioned that it is simply hard to create the conditions necessary to detect the Higgs boson? We too quickly opt for the sci-fi answer and though the idea of time based sabotage is fun, it makes for a better movie than it does an answer. And how was such a conjecture published without data or peer review? Nothing to see here, next particle please...
"I hate paying the Microsoft Tax as much as anybody else..." If you feel that way, we all need to urge our representatives to disallow the bundling of Microsoft software to hardware- it is something they should not be permitted to do since they do not make hardware (among other things). How would you feel if Exxon got a piece of every car sold because it might use their gas?
Why so much bitching about the cost of hardware ( just compare like Dell systems and you'll see this is a myth) and "how cool it'll be to develoe everything on one box" when what you are doing is STEALING! You work hard at your coding, IT support, etc. and don't deserve being undercut- what makes you think you have the right to undermine someone's hard work? Grow Up- it's not legal because 'eveyrone is doing it'
Given enough time the monkeys in said room would exhibit two things. First, the Near Misses, i.e. not quite Shakespeare renditions (think "To be or not to be- Hey! Thats my banana!") and the direct hits. And what of the later? Well gven enough time, when you finally open the door on those monkeys, they will be us.
And we have already written Shakespeare...

I bought a map of America from 1842 and it was ALL WRONG!

Thanks for it all. You will be missed and remembered. Blessings to your family.

So the government goes after Google- what about others like Microsoft? Or is this The Evil One's plan- the government is their largest contract. Hmmm
