And as I recall, there are press coverages around in Germany, stating that the region lock comes to the S3 via update. Go figure. Someone is lying - but who?
People? Under what rock have you been hiding for the last 10 years or so? It's called a cellphone, nowadays it's even worse with a smartphone, always on, any app can query the wifis nearby or even the GPS...
No, Switzerland is not "much more secure" when it comes to online security and privacy. There are lawful interception laws which requires most if not all of the bigger service providers to register and to implement a lawful interception interface into their email infrastructure.
Much tougher laws are in the works, such as keeping meta data, email content and much more for 12 months.
Again - Switzerland isn't the best place to feel safe online.
For those who care - there has been new findings from the NTSB about the last part of the flight prior to impact.
"In an interview with Korean Authorities the pilot flying reported that a flash of light occurred at 500 feet which temporarily blinded him, the NTSB confirmed that this was mentioned in their interview as a temporary event, too."
might be partially true - but the TAWS or GPWS is not giving you too low warnings if the plane is configured for landing (flaps, gear), otherwise you would have aural warnings on every landing.
My sense (IANAP) is an automatic landing would not have been possible given that the Instrument Landing System for runway 28L has been out os service since 1 June.
Correct. Auto landing uses the full ILS/MLS bundled with a radar altimeter for even more precise altitude information above ground prior to touchdown.

Normally you would intercept the localizer (lateral guidance), then the glide slope signal (altitude guidance) via auto pilot and then disconnect the auto pilot shortly before landing and flare manually.
On this day, the glide slope signal was not available due to maintenance work and therefore, the pilot flying (PF) needed to fly the approach and landing manually - which he fucked up.

Coming back to your question - auto land needs to demonstrated per plane on a continous base, e.g. monthly - no matter what weather is.

This. Read up on the City of London (not London...) and learn... it blows your mind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London_Corporation#Criticism Talk about the establishment...

Both companies suck ball, especially Samsung with their newly introduced regional SIM-locking crap...
Could as well be parallel construction at its finest....
Awesome? It's creepy at best.
OT: Lebanon is indeed quite scenic - Beirut is still worth a visit after all those years of turmoil.
Not to forget that ther was an air grap at Natanz - so we're talking about more than just shutting off nodes access to the net.
Stuxnet, as an example, bridged the air gap multiple times via infected USB keys...
... build a wall around it. I seriously hope, that the spent fuel pools don't need to live through another earthquake.
I did RTFA and between your figures and the 40 Mio Letter is a huge gap... who cleans up if the company goes bankrupt and the funds run out?

Thanks for the figures - do you know who will fund the deficit? The taxpayer like in many european countries?
It's a start. And then, watch how long the dismantling goes and how high the costs will be end the end - and watch very closely who foots the bill...
I wonder how they could cancel their mistrades that fast while crunching out those huge numbers of HFT orders every second...

The NTSB press video gives a first glampse on what had happened - the last part of the flight is referenced at apx. 22:00 video time.

Or it would have done a splash down as did a B738 from Lions Air just recently in Indonesia...
