you can't execute a social engineering attack without knowing something about the user.... some random attacker might have been able to get enough info from past his blog posts to launch the attack, but this smells more personal. Apple uses out of wallet info for their security questions - the whole point of OOO is asking questions that ONLY the user (or someone close to them) would know.
I got asked OOO by my bank.. some of the questions 1) who is related to you (list of 4 names - none match) 2) what city have you visited before (list of 4 cities - one match)
You don't have this kind of info unless you know me.

Legitimate claims for use of a gag order include, for instance, a criminal court may issue a gag order on the media if the judge believes, or claims to believe, that potential jurors in a future trial will be influenced by the media reporting or speculation on the early stages of a case.
Gag orders are often used against participants involved in a lawsuit or criminal trial. They are also a tool to prevent media from publishing unwanted information on a particular topic.
A GAG ORDER ON THE MEDIA. Yes. the Judge can tell the press to STFU. "also a tool to to prevent the media..."
hell if I know.. but they're not exactly the same idea... MS = keyboard, APPL = display, and keyboard... I'm not an expert by any means, but if apple is granted the patent, presumably the USPTO did their research and found no like patents before granting it to apple.
even if you and i thought up identical ideas, but you filed first.. I think you'd get the patent - not me.
Not sure if MS filed a patent for theirs, and if they did, when.... But apple's isn't a direct response to it.
The surface was supposed to be so ultra top secret that a lot of ms execs didn't know about it until the unveiling (... http://www.bgr.com/2012/06/21/microsoft-surface-apple-like-secrecy/) so it's unlikely that apples patent FILED LAST YEAR but only made public on 8/2 is a "copy"
FTA: A patent application submitted by Apple last year — and made public just this morning — describes a flexible, magnetically attached cover for a tablet device. It’s similar to Apple’s existing smart cover for the iPad, except that this cover can also function as an input and display device. And one of the concepts described by Apple in the patent filing is an idea for using the cover as a keyboard.
And if you look at the patent, apples is a display, and writing surface, plus keyboard, whereas the surface is just a keyboard.
what do leaks have to do with it? my comment addresses this "She has bugger all to say other than as a private citizen about Samsung's speech to the media."
i've served on a jury. we were instructed by the court to not talk to anyone about the case. no press, no family or friends, nobody.
sometimes a judge will issue a gag order: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gag_order Gag orders are often used against participants involved in a lawsuit or criminal trial. They are also a tool to prevent media from publishing unwanted information on a particular topic.
bottom line is a judge can control what you do outside the court.
this is just wrong "She has bugger all to say other than as a private citizen about Samsung's speech to the media."
In an order today, Koh rejected Samsung's arguments that it should be able to introduce footage from 2001: A Space Odyssey and the UK television show Tomorrow People, both of which feature characters using tablet devices, as "prior art": pre-existing creations the would call into question the originality and validity of Apple's design patents.
actually, judges CAN tell you what to do outside a courtroom.
they can actually lock you in a hotel and make sure you don't get TV, magazines or newspapers. You will be escorted from your hotel to the courtroom by the police every day until the trial ends.
only Ford can make something with 4 wheels and a body (a form so established) - but we know that's not true, because we have thousands of car models... but you can differentiate a Honda from a BMW from a Hyunday at a distance...
it's not "tablet" it's ALL OF THESE THINGS TOGETHER a rectangular product shape with all four corners uniformly rounded; the front surface of the product dominated by a screen surface with black borders; as to the iPhone and iPod touch products, substantial black borders above and below the screen having roughly equal width and narrower black borders on either side of the screen having roughly equal width; as to the iPad product, substantial black borders on all sides being roughly equal in width; a metallic surround framing the perimeter of the top surface; a display of a grid of colorful square icons with uniformly rounded corners; and a bottom row of square icons (the "Springboard") set off from the other icons and that do not change as the other pages of the user interface are viewed.

Glocks do not have a traditional safety that needs to be released before the trigger moves. and put his son, Collin, in the back seat of his pickup truck to drop the boy off at his grandfather's house... sounds tragic, right? wait - Chavez had removed the child's car seat from the truck and had forgotten that he had left his Glock, which he always kept loaded, beneath the front seat, the court said....now Glock has to defend themselves against this moron.
go back to the beginning.. "son shot him with his service pistol."
SERVICE PISTOL. there's a reason LAPD picked Glock as their standard issue.. it's BECAUSE of the lack of traditional safeties and the light trigger pull.
he should sue LAPD for trusting him to carry a gun.

GPS is fine for the mundane point A to point B navigation, but if you're exploring (road trip) - gas stations and places to eat and sleep are handy.. GPS alone is no good for that - you have to have POIs
streetview and flyover are useful if you want to get an idea of what's around. once in a while I'll get a restaurant recommendation from someone and if I'm not sure if I've been there (I don't remember names of places very well) I'll drive down the street courtesy of google.
the monocle feature in the yelp app uses POIs - useful if you're in a city you don't know. I was coming up from the underground in DC and was supposed to meet someone.. I had no idea what direction to walk... yelp told me which way to go. (easier than getting directions since I didn't need to enter an address and GPS w/o POIs makes the address useless anyway)
we had a gathering in a huge park last week.. the people not familiar with the city used google earth to find the meadow where we were supposed to meet. kind of hard to find a big open space 300 yards away when you're surrounded by trees. (park here, go 300 yards south) some people have a really hard time navigating with maps. aerial photos are easier to relate too.
"circumvents the reliability and usefulness of dataveillance used by network eavesdroppers and effectively provides greater privacy over the network to principals" so it will be harder for facebook target ads based on the sites i've visited? (not that I use FB)
A new Facebook system will use your activity on other websites to send you what Facebook thinks are ads about your current interests. Advertisers will, in effect, be bidding to get their ads in front of you.
But we all must also accept that there is absolutely no place for the type of inaccurate and abusive attack on our catering and dining hall staff, such as we saw in one newspaper yesterday which considerably inflamed the situation. That, of course, was not the fault of the blog, but of the paper.

godspeed is an ENGLISH term.. as in England. Long before us Yanks kicked your ass - 1776 and all that.

Godspeed
noun
good fortune; success (used as a wish to a person starting on a journey, a new venture, etc.).

that said.. I had no problems whatsoever with mine (the tape or the box)
which Apple says is the basis of Siri
basis being the key word.. not Siri itself. The fact that the input method is voice is irrelevant.
