  1. Re:Did Apple say it was pure sapphire? on Apple's Use Of 'Sapphire' in iPhone Camera Lens Questioned in New Tests (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    If they're claiming it's sapphire, and there's no sapphire in it, and it scratches just as easily as regular glass, that's called "false advertising".

    No sapphire in it? Did you watch the video? The show it's 85% Aluminum oxide (sapphire) with a very thin layer of niobium on the interior to improve the refractive index. What the issue is here is the carbon impurities in the sapphire, not that there is no sapphire.

  2. Re:This is an easy decision. on DOJ: We Can Force You To Decrypt That Laptop · · Score: 2

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_court#United_States Actually, they can hold you until you provide what they want it seems. They held one man 14 years for contempt of court.

  3. Re:TrueCrypt FTW on DOJ: We Can Force You To Decrypt That Laptop · · Score: 2

    One counter to plausible deniability from their perspective could be this though: For instance with full disk encryption, they can look at your router/dhcp/etc logs and see that physical computer has been on the network. When you enter in your plausible deniability password you end up booting an OS that hasn't been booted in 4 months. I think they'll call bullshit.

  4. Re:What if the passphrase is typed in wrong? on DOJ: We Can Force You To Decrypt That Laptop · · Score: 1

    Yes, but they would take an image of the drive before they let you do that. You would accomplish nothing but give them proof of obstruction of justice (attempting to destroy evidence).

  5. salary sucks on Should You Be Paid For Being On Call? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Back when I was hourly, I got paid 2hrs for being on call for the weekend, plus any time spent working. Now that I'm salary, they can abuse me all weekend for free.

  6. Re:Google.com?! on Microsoft.com Makes IE8 Incompatibility List · · Score: 1

    I'd like you to find a major website that comes anywhere close to passing that test before passing judgment. I tried ars, slashdot, yahoo, anandtech, and some others. All fail.

  7. Re:gbrowser.com on Google to Buy Opera? · · Score: 3, Funny

    they also attempted to register gtring.com and gspot.com, but others beat them to it.

  8. Re:Bigger questions on File System Forensic Analysis · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you just have a random file or image of kiddie porn, I don't think that you can prove anything. But if you are looking and see file histories, downloading programs, gigs of data, etc that all point to something illegal, then you can make a case. I would doubt any spyware or zombie would actually go through the trouble of creating the whole path of crime.

  9. anti-forensics on File System Forensic Analysis · · Score: 1

    has anyone come out with a book on anti-forensics? That'd be a great read.
