Apple wants to avoid cases where users blame Apple for sluggish application performance, skipping music/video, bugs, etc... that are a result of something that Apple can't control or exert influence over.
Than how about they add some memory dedicated to the OS? The stuff is not that expensive these days...
You have no technical knowledge, financial means, or support from the government. In other words, you're a loser and no one cares about your proposal.
Exactly. And does "Lin Industrial"? Probably not.
Who are these people? Are they more than a couple of guys looking for "venture capital" to spend for a few years? Any actual rocket know-how? Do they employ an office full of qualified Russian rocket engineers?
I can't find anything - English or Russian - about these people, who's backing them, what their experience level is. My guess is that it's a pipe dream of flat out a way to sponge up "venture capital".
Sure, copyrighted... Whatever. Seriously, these emails are relevant only to a relatively small number of people in the entertainment industry, so publishing them is really nothing more than a "fuck you" to Sony.
Funny to think that Assange could easily be a free man if he simply goes to Sweden and his defense shows that the allegations against him either do not constitute crimes, or do not meet the standards for conviction.
Clearly he does not think the case will go his direction. He might not get a sentence of jail time, but the Swedes would then expel him to his home country, where there are other legal issues pending. Perhaps he should have pulled a "Snowden" and headed for Russia or maybe some South American Communist / Socialist wonderland... His ego got in the way of clearly thinking this problem through.
According the fuzzy image of what appears to be some type of legal document that could have been produced with Word and was apparently filled out with a Sharpie, the event happened in 2012.
Assenge must be desperate in that embassy to have pulled out the really damning stuff!
if they ask a hacker to create a virus that causes an enemy industrial site to explode and kill the workers & scientists, refusing to do so because of "moral grounds" is now a court martial.
An unlikely scenario. On the other hand, having them in uniform allows tighter control over both them and the product. I've worked with plenty of top-tier programmers who were not fat Cheeto-eating pigs. But boot camp and Army PT simply isn't all that hard.
DVD players are quite common in the North, the government produced a wide range of propaganda for public consumption. Computers, less so, but remember, they are connected to what is essentially a locked down "intranet".

What do you expect from a mafia-style organization? And yet most Slashdotters tacitly support this though purchases of "media" while bleating how oppressed they are by these giant media companies. I hear "show it through your dollars" here all the time, but in actual prctice, it isn't happening, just think about all the bleating about xBox being down? I don't own an xBox, though I play plenty of great PC games... Well, I guess it works my way since I'm mostly into "first person shooters" rather than multi-play, but really? Put your money where your mouth is? Maybe?
I guess I'm not a good example since I haven't been to a theatre in many years... Seen a few good movies, though, and none of them involved the Joker or Blue People, or whatever...
There is no reason to believe that there are equil numbers of boys and girls interested in programming. This does not say anything about if there are girls that "can do it", but that different people, different sexes have different interests.
Your issue is apparently with them sending your password by email... Can you reset it?
Many sites will auto-generate a password and send it to you (I don't like this), and you should always reset such passwords. Indeed, many sites that do this require you to reset on first log-in.
Always pay for on-line purchases with a credit card, as you can dispute fraudulent charges, and credit card companies have pretty decent fraud detection algorithms.
I know people here will not like this: Using a random pass on every site is not realistic for most people, but you could have permutations such as a decent password with prefix or suffix, or other ways to remember a system. It's only on-line shopping, if you use a credit card and get hacked, it's not the end of the world, dispute the charges and change your password.
There may be a lot you could do if your time is not worth much and you like to be ignored... If these people were interested in security, they would not have this drop dead amature code issue. If their management does not care and their web guys do not care, you can bleat at them until we put a man on Mars, they will ignore you or worse, put the lawyers on you.
By the way, nobody pays attention to BBB ratings when shopping on-line (or anywhere else)
There really isn't much you can do about companies like this, except shop elsewhere. Sooner or later, they will have a breach, and the "security researchers" will have your credit card data.
You are obviously clueless. The issue is cross-domain tracking, as in where someone uses one of the FB, Goog, or other 'widgets' or advertising integrations on their own site...
Don't go to sites that use FB widgets. Use Ghostery or a number of other tools. If you are being tracked, it's because you *allow* it.
Quite right. In summary: none of us here in the peanut gallery have any real way to know who did what. Most of the opinions I've seen here seem to reflect whatever biases each opiner may have. The known facts are few and far between. Of course, I have my own opinions but I won't share them because they reflect my own biases.
This thing is a bit like an Agatha Christie mystery. You may be certain who did it, but you don't really know until Christie tells you. Then you invariably find out you were wrong. Even the strategy of picking the least likely culprit doesn't work. Unfortunately, in this case, we don't have the author to tell us the "truth", so we likely will never know.

What are they going to pay for it with?
Maybe they can fuel it with vodka, the price of which has dropped significan;y in Russia: http://money.cnn.com/2014/12/3...

Random boasting from people unable to carry them out... Well, they better not build it where all those time-share lots have been sold...
Sure, copyrighted... Whatever. Seriously, these emails are relevant only to a relatively small number of people in the entertainment industry, so publishing them is really nothing more than a "fuck you" to Sony.
This bubble still has life in it if we can keep finding fresh meat to keep it going.
It's interesting that many people are coming to this same conclusion, just a few years ago such talk would be sacrilege.

Actually, that is a lot that you can do.

Just walk away.
There really isn't much you can do about companies like this, except shop elsewhere. Sooner or later, they will have a breach, and the "security researchers" will have your credit card data.
They know how to protect the vulnerability.
They won't spend to fix it unless they're shamed into it, and possibly not even then.
If they don't fix it now, they're saying they don't give a shit.
From the mouth of an expert, right?
Or do we want Facebook even deeper into our personal tish so their algorithm can "get it right" next time?
If for you, the answer is "no", than don't use Facebook.
Problem solved.
Yes, let's be offended, it's the American Way.
However, keep in mind that these compilations were only by the Facebook account holder unless they made them public.
But sure... I'M OUTRAGED... Why not?
.. actually write a real line of code, or did he just moved some widgets around a pushed a button ?
I'm sure there will be many jokes, but it's irrelevent. He's *not* a coder, and neither in my auto mechanic or doctor.
Bombed with critics...
Meaningless when talking about Seth Rogen movies. The "critics" are not who goes to his movies. People who laugh at fart jokes go to his movies.

That's hardly "bombing".
