    As of the last update for desktop OS there is an option to skip creation of or loggin into one's Apple account. I'm going to say it's not required. Additionally you should be able to use the Apple Mail and Messages apps without an Apple account.

    Signaling the abundant and high-risk nature of hack-attacks, CEO Brian Moynihan says the Charlotte-based lender (NYSE:BAC) has no spending limits in place for its cyber security teams. Currently at $400M.

    "The only place in the company that doesn't have a budget constraint is that area."

  15. Re:Bing and you're done! on iOS 10 Is Surfacing Hardcore Porn GIFs in iMessage (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The images appear to just be .gif type images originating from Bing. There's even a bing logo in the corner of the search window. I suspect it's similar to searching plain old Bing for .gif's. Even in safe search mode porn occasionally comes up.

    Yep.

  16. The US seems unable to insure information. One hears of action by the US government that are offensive in nature, such as alleged hacks of state actors or in defeating encryption. What is being done about infosec defense? The most encouraging thing I've heard in the business community is from Bank of America where CEO Brian T. Moynihan said, "The only place in the company that doesn’t have a budget constraint is. . ." cyber. He further notes they spend > $400M for this purpose. Anyhow, the vibe is that things are getting worse and the good guys are losing. One's individual security is already a part time job if one is being diligent.

  21. RTFA, There is a reason it's linked on Online Ad Czar Berates Adblockers As Freedom-Hating 'Mafia' (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    As with possible many of you I hated the quote above. I read the article looking for a good Twitter length summary and found there is more to it then what one might believe. Not to belabor things here is a quote toward the end. "Ad-blocking has been a consumer plebiscite; as former Mozilla executive Darren Herman noted at the IAB Ad Operations Summit a few months back, the software offered consumers a vote â" and they have voted no on chaos, opacity, and slowness". Sounds pretty insightful. I didn't agree with many thing therein but give it a read.
