Citation needed. Meanwhile, the App Store has given out over 25 Billion downloads, more than Android. I think you mean a lot of the download statistics in the Android store are skewed by piracy and freeware.
Mythbusters found a lot of the state of the art stuff to be breakable, but for the fingerprint unlock they needed to actually get someone's fingerprint first.
iOS developers most certainly can develop and run apps on their own devices, the only limitation is sometimes Apple may reject your app for their store.
MicroUSB is very different and not applicable for this case. USB is 4 pins while the new one is 19 pins. Those other pins are for video out, audio out, car docks, etc. Doing it all over USB would require a more complicated (and expensive) circuitry on whatever it's plugged into, Apple's way is better.
Once you disable certain obnoxious subreddits in your profile, the site actually becomes wonderful. Just turn off/r/atheism,/r/adviceanimals, and maybe/r/politics, and add the many TV/movie related and other cultural subreddits and you have a nice party.
They did a site redesign that made functionality a lot worse for many people. At the same time, the algorithm was aggravating the users since it heavily-favored the high-karma users' posts and nobody else made it to the front page. Add a right-wing bloc of users called the Digg Patriots who tried dominating the discussions and downvoting what they didn't like, and many left; plenty to Reddit.
As Yaz wrote above: iOS devices have AES 256 encryption baked right into the hardware inside the DMA path between flash storage and the main system memory. It's always enabled, and can't be disabled by users, administrators, or anyone else. No custom kernel modules required -- XNU already has built-in AES 256 support, and the platform already implements it for each and every device.
Well they are no longer the current password to those accounts, and with regards to other sites it's no less secure than someone who has a password on the top 10 most popular passwords list.
"No True Scotsman" isn't applicable here. Saudi Arabia claims to be a Muslim country that follows sharia, but is ruled by a king (not a part of sharia) and allows usury (interest), also not a part of sharia. It's not a fallacy to point out that they're not following islam correctly.
Unlimited range? The NEACP (which the President flies on during nuclear crisis), is said to only be able to stay in the air for 3 days maximum (despite in-air refueling) due to eventually running out of motor oil. However, that was in the 1990s.
Slow down here chief, these aren't Linux users you're talking about. Apple'a upgrade is easy. It asks if you want to upgrade the encryption to match Lion's. If you said no, then you're exposed since you're using old code. They're not asking you to recompile your kernel here. I've never met anyone serious about encryption who stays versions behind.
People who actually want security wouldn't be using an older, and slower, version of FileVault in the latest OS and also ignoring the message telling them to upgrade the FS to the latest version.
considering how this only affects people who used FileVault encryption on their Mac prior to Lion, then upgraded to Lion but kept the folders encrypted using the legacy version of FileVault, I hardly think this will be a popular vector for any attacks, malware or otherwise.

#3 is false. Apple 2005 "purple" prototype shows it did not copy Sony

Easy, they're called provisioning profiles.

iOS also supports external (dock connector or Bluetooth) game controllers too.

Apple already explained to developers how to close the hole, with in-App receipts. Also, it's closed in iOS 6

And yet Reddit is extremely popular
From what I read, using the iPhone Configuration Utility app for Enterprise users, you can disable WiFi and bluetooth in the provisioning.

This is why we need to make email encryption more popular. Thunderbird is one of the best with its enigmail PGP/GPG plugin.
Yes. If only we could force all IT departments to dump POP in favor of IMAP.
if you want to run an application you haven't downloaded yet, or forgot to download, you're out of luck.
You could say that about any laptop or iPod touch or iPad.

865,000 apps approved for the App Store, and yes, one got through. And you think it's nothing more than Apple randomly selecting apps to let in.

When I meant point upgrades, I meant small point, like 10.7.3 to 10.7.4. The major point upgrades are a giant leap in new features.
Mac OS X point upgrades are like Windows Service Packs.
