  1. If you think unlimited *isn't* infinite, then what is it?

    Microsoft's poor word choice is their fault, not anyone else's.

  2. Perhaps you don't recall folks saying we were going to "glass over" the middle east.

  3. I recall people saying the same thing in 2002 about al quaeda.

    We're still fighting there...

  4. This is internal marketing.

    From the github description:

    he direct token that Niantic gets can't access the gmail api / gcal api
    However, the token could potentially be exchanged through the undocumented mechanism /MergeSession to create a web session logged in as you on any google property

    So yes IT COULD.

    Yeah, what CRC'99 said.

    It *potentially* could. And now has been documented as to how it could:

    Here's what the API can do. It's undocumented, so you can't look it up:

    "In summary:

            The direct token that Niantic gets can't access the gmail api / gcal api
            However, the token could potentially be exchanged through the undocumented mechanism /MergeSession to create a web session logged in as you on any google property
            I haven't seen the app try to exchange this token for an ubertoken while poking at it
            The app communicates with Niantic with encrypted blobs and theoretically could send this token to them"

    You can install it, then revoke it's access from your account to what it doesn't need.

    App still works fine.

  10. Oh, yes. You have a great point. I'm sure O N L Y Apple users do this...

  11. This doesn't even make sense. There's no way these sites were using AppleID accounts, or collecting them.

    Now, reverse engineering based on login is possible, but that's user stupidity, not Apple's fault that people use the same log in for multiple things.

    Our leaders are aware of that.

    They're also aware that THAT region is not our region.

    And we need to stop being the world's police.

    Maybe if all ISPs in Russia are required to do this, it will be done.

    I'm thinking that this will really reduce foreign investment in Russia. And business & the economy will take a direct hit over the next several years.

    That stat doesn't include GA flying. Commerical flying only, wihch is much higher than 100M passenger miles.

    And, no, you're wrong. The car is orders of magnitude less safe, so the trip would have to be orders of magnitude shorter in order for it to even out. So for 1 hr of flying, your driving can't be more than 36 seconds. That's 2 orders of magnitude.

    Why do we need near zero deaths in aviation?

    It's still about the safest form of transport there is.

    Spend the big $$ on better car automation. Build automation-only highways.

    Dozens of deaths vs tens of thousands of deaths.

  20. amazon controls the market. They are the 800 lb gorilla in online sales, just like Microsoft once was.

    google is the same in the online ad space.

    While Apple sells lots of phones & computers, they aren't the 800 lb gorilla anywhere except in Apple world. They have a much less than 50% share in phones & computers.

    Second time it makes no sense whatsoever.

    It's in an article about IP addresses/copyrights. WTF does that have to do with Oculus in any way?
