... and what evidence do you have that "whatsapp" doesn't keep a copy on their servers? Who pays "whatsapp" for whatever services they provide? I'm guessing it's not the people writing the messages.
I've got an HTC One M8, and it's capable of running Windows 10, but Verizon hasn't pushed down the update to my phone, yet. I'd prefer it if Microsoft could do an end run around the carriers so that we could get the updates.
The only thing that stupid chip does is make merchants liable for if they don't work with those chips, and they somebody uses a fake credit card with a stolen number, without a chip. So no, the chip thing is irrelevant in this case.
The thing is that encryption is just some bolted-on technique to make something that is inherently insecure, secure. I doubt it'll ever be completely effective. To have a "secure Internet" would require starting from scratch.
The author of this nugget doesn't know, apparently, that the Internet was never designed to be secure, and any attempt to make it so will inevitably fail. The Internet was designed to facilitate the OPEN exchange of information.
Did "well-regulated militia" have a different meaning 200 years ago? This is *exactly* what the authors of the Second Amendment wrote, because it IS the Second Amendment. Are you suggesting that you went back in time, read the minds of the authors, and determined that they wrote the exact opposite of what they thought?
You do realize that they're the most profitable longest running computer-related company in the history of the world, right? I think it's fair to say that they don't need to worry about "getting ahead".
No. Microsoft is selling the Surface and this proposed product as a super premium offering. People obviously don't want Apple, otherwise they'd be buying Apple. To get work done, people will continue to buy Dells and HP's, and whoever else sells regular computers.
and they can't collect data since they get a pseudo card number
... why would you think that these software black boxes aren't using a SECOND Id to track people? Do you seriously think that Google and Apple are setting up payment systems because they're such nice people? Of course they're mining the shit out of that data.
I think you're incorrect. Just because a credit card number is tokenized doesn't mean that they can't still track you. You're being tracked across countless websites without a credit card at all. It's just another ID. I guarantee that Apple and Android aren't setting up payment systems for free. They're mining the shit out of all of their data.

I don't deal with this kind of shit any more. If I buy a product or service that doesn't work as advertised, I call up American Express (or Visa, but Amex is much better), dispute the charges, and pay $0 for the hardware or service. Sometimes the company tries to fix it and sometimes not. It really doesn't matter to me.
Most recently, I got a Cisco router that was a flaky piece of shit that only occasionally worked. Newegg wouldn't take it back. Cisco, of course, is impossible to get a hold of, so I call Amex, and get my money back. I'm not going to waste my time with "tech support" for a product that doesn't work as advertised.
So what? Most dot-com businesses are losing tons of money these days. Most e-commerce is losing money hand over fist. It seems that investors are fine throwing money at unprofitable businesses for some reason.
Hardware isn't expensive at all. PC's can be had for next to nothing. It's the software that costs the real $$! And considering computer hardware generally doesn't wear out, it's a no-brainer for us to buy cheap hardware, and save our IT money for good software.

Oh, I didn't know that. I'd be willing to bet a large amount of money that there are certainly copies saved by them, then.
That's cute that some people believe that a service that makes money from harvesting your information keeps your data private. That's very cute.

The article is about Windows 10 Mobile, not the desktop OS.
Apple forces customers to buy new hardware for many software updates. I assume that's what he was referring to.

Almost all POS applications these days are Internet based.

"security of the entire internet."

No, an individual person is not a militia.

Anyone with a favorable view of Bernie Sanders needs to explain, how his proposals differ from those of Hugo Chavez.
Not really, unless you're mentally challenged. A person could easily read his platform and compare it to Hugo Chavez's to see the differences.
The other one is alleged to be racist.
Are you fucking kidding?

If you want to look at facts, you shouldn't even have ANY firearms outside of a "well-regulated militia".
You're arguing semantics in regards to people being murdered. Go away.

People have had access to "offline content" for years. They're called "DVD's".

Would my statement be any more or less true if I used the word "cloud"?
