as noted by other comments: real security would involve apple not having the key. Google doesn't keep the key to your cloud storage, and neither does spideroak.
That's the definition of security best practices, not "we're following proper procedure". Fox meet henhouse.
The jackass who thinks you shouldn't have all the content available on day one of the game (even though development is finished) not only shouldn't be paid, but should be fired and has no place in this business.
Quit making such an asinine argument, bioware blowhard.
Oracle didn't deny payments to the media, they acknowledged it. Google showed that they don't pay anyone. Florian is "media", even he's shitty/shoddy. The issue is he was paid/working on his contract with Oracle before the trial even started, so his PR damage/anti-google-ness is now legally acknowledged so hopefully nobody will quote that fraudulent shill anymore. This oracle trial acknowledges he is paid, not how far back payments started.
not only that, but the GPS and accelerometers in a smartphone are not even remotely as accurate as something that can be installed in the car/physically attached to the car. This is just begging for bad/extremely inaccurate results. Smartphone falls of your seat in the car? must have been a crash/aggressive turning (due to sudden accelerometer jump) ! etc.
Given their policies regarding a number of things which are dinosaur-era, we don't have an answer to whether or not they will give it away or not. I don't know that an official statement has ever been made by apple. The question is - do you want to trust that information with apple? Specifically: 100% uncertainty? That's not a "apple is evil, apple is not evil".
Hrm? If I had relevant medical information that may affect how I need to be treated for emergencies I'd like that information to be posted everywhere possible . I'd rather minimize the chance that I die due to something stupid.
That's not the same as "I have nothing to hide" but having medical information tied to accident information which can easily be obtained would make sense.
let's hope they do things like let people store medical information on these radio ID's, not just things that make it easier to collect money. If someone were to get in an accident but be able to indicate they're a hemophiliac, for example.
If the judge in the apple case is following this one from Alsup (one can hope), then I bet that will come up as well. The interesting part will be seeing which journalists, etc are on which payrolls in conjunction - as it's not hard to contrive that apple/ms/oracle has the same pundits on the payroll for all 3. We already have 2 of 3 confirmed by Florian.
they never had malware ads, but they did turn on the ads after being DDOS'd due to the bandwidth bill. Considering that such a thing happened literally in the last two days I can't see why the Ukranians would shut it down that fast or even have the capability to, for that matter.
They chose ignorance. The choice was adopt or die. That decision needed to be made almost 10 years ago. Goodbye, RIMjobs. It's proof that the executive management is a complete and utter failure as a whole.
yep. also why act like chat is the only option? Are people too stupid to say "welcome to chat. this is (IT). please open your browser, go to (website for preferred remote access tool) and we'll start troubleshooting"?
this is just retarded. They said they incurred a bandwidth cost from the ddos and turned on advertising to deal with it. I imagine the bandwidth cost before and after the DDOS were probably substantially different. I don't know if they were aware of the bad ads regardless.
Let's be careful with statements, please. They didn't say it ran slow due to the kernel or OpenGL, that is BS. They are acknowledging their own errors, not OpenGL's and not the kernels. They also did say exactly what they did to fix the situation.
I'll spare you on your details with the reality of what they said:
Their goals: Performance improvements fall into several categories: Modifying our game to work better with the kernel Modifying our game to work better with OpenGL Optimizing the graphics driver
The results: An example of the first category would be changing our memory allocator to use more appropriate Linux functions. This was achieved by implementing the Source engine small block heap to work under Linux. The second category would include reducing overhead in calling OpenGL, and extending our renderer with new interfaces for better encapsulation of OpenGL and Direct3D. The third category is especially interesting because it involves working with hardware manufacturers to identify issues in their drivers and, as a result, improving the public driver which benefits all games. Identifying driver stalls and adding multithreading support in the driver are two examples of changes that were the result of this teamwork. That's not a valve benefit, that's "all linux games" benefit.
I'm guessing it was solid influence plus just taking a long ass time? I'm not anyone with a view into valve though, but my thoughts are that:
Valve is so big now that if they go "we're going to Linux" they can bring it en masse. Back when valve was relatively new that wouldn't have exactly happened like that.
except that even in acting like you give them the copyright, fair use nullifies all of this - as almost any use of the listings that involves modifying them is a clear cut case of fair use.
The difference between private server and 3rd party hosted private server is nothing. Cloud is just a marketing phrase and still doesn't reflect anything that hasn't already existed for 5-10 years minimum.
I don't know enough about the situation, but why wasn't it raised earlier? I understand they said deadline was passed, but when was apple's complaint raised prior to samsung introducing this evidence? Would they know that prior to apple raising a complaint, for example?
this is a: the same judge that filed the injunction against samsung and b: says things need to be public. Samsung releasing one of it's own designs? Questionable that there can be any judicial influence on the topic.
You are at the mercy of who you choose for the service provider. Which, as justforgetme pointed out, can be yourself. So no, this isn't a "cloud issue" as much as this is an "amazon issue" as everyone has stated. What's to stop people from hosting things themselves? Nothing.
Slashdot Mirror
and yet quizzically they are a big proponent of hosting software downloads (c/net downloads). Let hand, meet right hand.

might want to start by correcting the title:

quite the opposite, apple holds the key - so all it takes is a gov't request to apple and they have the master key.

Please. This is microsoft setting up the system. I wouldn't be surprised if this has a Microsoft-esque marketing campaign attached.
"it's for your own benefit, and there are safeguards in place to prevent abuse" etc etc. (all while being untrue)
3x the cost of a DVD is a fortune?

Everyone uses them, except you, because your post is a shitpost.

this is linux, not apple. not everyone focuses on marketing first.

inaction/not changing anything is the easiest to defend. So yes, stonewalling.

remember: they're not about the money, they're about quality.

Which is exactly correct.
