    If you've got balls of brass, the one thing you can't do is get a full body x-ray scan.

    This is news because even at those prices they're too expensive?

    The thieves are idiots because Apple probably has the serial numbers of those stolen iPhones and thus will nuke them from orbit?

    Probably Canada too, if online sales are similar to physical store policies.

  7. Is that a smartphone-only thing? Will computer users have their photos deleted?

    Can anyone think of a synonym for "network" that begins with the letter "S"?

    The World's Oldest Computer May Have Predicted the Future

    ...the 2,000 year-old-device ... wasn't programmable in the modern sense, but it's considered the world's first analog computer.

    ...it was a kind of philosopher's guide to the galaxy, and perhaps the world's oldest mechanical computer.

    So... 42?

    "For some reason"? You don't even understand the main reason.

  16. Not to mention that upgrading hardware is becoming less necessary with each new generation of hardware, aside from GPUs.

    Until we get quantum computers or something, we're not going to see huge jumps like the 8086/286/386/486 era.

    Orwell was not completely right about Big Brother. Big Brother is here, yes. But it's being helped by millions of Little Snitches. The irony is that it's the people themselves that are buying the Little Snitches, carrying them everywhere they go and even paying to keep them running and connected.

  21. The Sun is our star. He said another star. Two completely different things.

    I also asked my co-workers about this, and one suggested that we'll be living in black holes in millions of years. Another replied "that would suck".

  22. Dubbed 'Hey Siri,' the feature is particularly convenient because the iPhone 6s' M9 motion co-processor is 'always listening' and thereby lets users use 'Hey Siri' even when the device isn't connected to a power source.

    As an Apple user, this really creeps me out.

    If Apple invented everything, why the fuck did they invent Microsoft and Google? They have to compete against Windows and Android now because of these two.
