The information that the Judge said was inadmissible to court was the idea that the iPhone copied Sony's designs. Apple created a Sony mockup (labeled JONY) and Samsung wants to use that as evidence Apple stole from Sony.
The problem is that iPhone prototypes (one called "Purple") from a year earlier than the Apple made JONY mock-up look much more like the iPhone of today. This makes the entire JONY thing moot since 1. Apple created the Sony mockup, Sony never developed any product that looked like JONY, ever. 2. It shows Apple had the design for the current iPhone before they were accused of stealing it from Sony.
The problem here is that OSX inherently lacks software that raises flags when 'the incident' happens, or at least it seams to be that way.. Does the victim has any built-in protection to deal with such a malware infection?
Mac OS X has an automatic malware scanner. The malware definitions are checked for updates daily, automatically.
The last update to the definitions was on June 26th, 2012. I do not know if it contains the definitions for this malware yet.
If non-ionizing, it's completely harmless. No sane person worrys about non-ionizing radiation.
non-ionizing isn't harmless. It just, based on the laws of physics, cannot cause cancer.
If the non-ionizing radiation (from a microwave or a huge radio [station] antenna) is high enough, it would never cause cancer. What it would do is heat up human tissue to uncomfortable levels, possibly killing cells (but never causing them to mutate).
It's why non-ionizing radiation can be used to "treat" cancer. It doesn't interfere will cell duplication, not exactly, it kills the cancer cells dead and all surrounding cells in the target area. Dead cells can't duplicate. RF cancer therapy is far easier to target a very specific area of tissue than chemotherapy or ionizing radiation therapy. Then again, the latter two destroy the immune system for a while.
Actually,it probably got there because some infected windows host that was part of a botnet sent it via spam. In which case, the file is still just a useless bag of bytes stored with your email.
Silly Adobe Applications (like Photoshop) require Java be installed or else they won't work.
If you want to blame anyone for Flashback, blame Adobe. Since without them, Java would never be installed on most Macs running Mac OS X 10.6 or higher.
Actually, for Li-Ion batteries, keeping them *always* plugged in makes the battery less prone to loss. Li-ion batteries lose most capacity only when they are not being used and do not have charge constantly moving through them.
This is also why non-replaceable batteries are a lot better than replaceable ones. The non-replaceable ones never since on/in a shelf/desk/drawer causing them to lose capacity.
My Paypal contract said the same thing, until a judge threw it in the trash. He said that contracts may not supersede consumer protections provided by law, and eventually forced Paypal to issue $100 refunds to all their customers (at least the ones who made the class action claim).
Not been following the supreme court on AT&T vs Class action lawsuits?
You just include the mpkg file in the DMG, and it should find and run the installer automatically.
It may open the installer application (which is an Apple shipped and signed application) which might open the package to be installed, in some specific cases. It does NOT run any executable code in the package whatsoever without user interaction.
I bought a "lifetime" subscription. TiVo are now defining that as nine years, no argument, tough.
I am extremely unimpressed, and won't be buying a new TiVo.
I DIDN'T NICK THE FUCKING DVD, I FUCKING RENTED IT, SO STOP NAGGING ME NOT TO FUCKING NICK IT.
YOU DIDN'T FUCKING BUY A TiVo IN THE LAST NINE YEARS! YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN THEM A FUCKING SHILLING IN NINE YEARS. WHY THE FUCK YOU ANYONE EXPECT YOU TO NOW?!
Currently many countries do not have requirements that advertising of services for the internets give a cap. They just say unlimited and you can DIAF when you go past the point of some arbitrary cap on unlimited. AFAIK, this is changing in the US for at least the fine print.
Some services (AT&T) cap the data and bill you immediately for over use. Others cap the data then terminate the service (hard cap). Still others cap the data then drastically throttle the speed for data past the cap but never disconnect or overcharge (soft cap, T-Mobile),
And all of them may allow your neighbor, same node, same data plan, same "hub", to use 200GB+/mo with no issues and cap your data at 25GB/mo.
yes, one large file which is actually a sparse disk image.
it's a sparse disk image bundle thingy. Which uses a bunch of 8MB files, not one file. from the hdiutil man page:
By default, UDSP images grow one megabyte at a time.
Introduced in 10.5, UDSB images use 8 MB band files
which grow as they are written to.. -imagekey
sparse-band-size=size can be used to specify the
number of 512-byte sectors that will be added each
time the image grows. Valid values for SPARSEBUNDLE
range from 2048 to 262144 sectors (1 MB to 128 MB).
The maximum size of a SPARSE image is 128 petabytes;
the maximum for SPARSEBUNDLE is just under 8
exabytes (2^63 - 512 bytes minus 1 byte). The
amount of data that can be stored in either type of
sparse image is additionally bounded by the filesys-
tem in the image and by any partition map. compact
can reclaim unused bands in sparse images backing
HFS+ filesystems. resize will only change the vir-
tual size of a sparse image. See also USING PERSIS-
TENT SPARSE IMAGES below.
Note: Automatic notification is available on most Microsoft Windows platforms. You also need to have permission to install software on your computer; that is, you need to log in as an administrator or as a user who has permission to install software..
Users on all supported platforms can manually check whether their installed Flash Player is the latest, most secure version.

Did you look at the PDFs? The first PDF is all about the JONY design.

Sorry, but having a huge marketing event for a vaporware product that doesn't exist isn't "increased security".

Yeah but there's a huge difference between microwatts of radio or TV waves passing through you, and 1/4 to 2 watts of cellphone waves passing through.
No, there isn't a difference. They're all non-ionizing radiation and thus just heat the surrounding material.
Actually,it probably got there because some infected windows host that was part of a botnet sent it via spam. In which case, the file is still just a useless bag of bytes stored with your email.
If the code never can run on Mac OS X, how can Mac OS X be infected? To Mac OS X, it'd just be a useless file full of some kind of data.
Oh, I had thought it was copied from an app for jailbroken iPhones...

It's got nothing to do with Safari.
OMFG. You got modded "informative" for saying SSDs help binary files perform faster.
Files that get read from disk - ONCE.
After that, they're in RAM.
Whoever modded you "Informative" is, umm, ignorant.
It's a little thing called VM and swap files (or pagefile.sys). SSDs make paging in and out much, much faster which makes programs "run" "faster".

With jailbreaks, you end up with less functionality in some aspects and more in others and the things you lose can be very consequential.
On the other hand, a rooted android phone does not (generally) run that risk
Yeah, if you never get updates for your device in the first place, rooting won't make upgrading worse

Good job again google. That's why you're on top.
So it's a good thing that Google can, has, and will continue to remote remove (remote kill) applications downloaded onto phones.
Apple has removed apps from their store, but never from the phone itself once the app has been downloaded.
Except that houses can have mortgages that averages 30 years. TiVos cannot (min finance charge, $1 monthly)
And there's no ambiguity between "lifetime of service" and "lifetime of device".
I have one word that discredits everything you just said: Apple

Just flip a switch and the earth gets flooded with oxygen. Where's Noah when you need him?!
One thing. directly connected hard drives do not use sparse bundles if FileVault is not on,.
