First there's a way to adjust the password settings on iPads: Settings > iTunes and App Store > Password Settings. Set it to Always Require for paid apps and in app purchases and Do not require for free downloads. But that's all moot in this case because the kid did know the password and the account is linked to a credit card. It's like he gave his son key to the gun cabinet and later blame the gun manufacturer when the kid hurts himself. Bad bad parenting. The article also mentioned that he should received several email receipts for these purchases. That's Apple's way of reaching out to him and say "something is suspicious". What does he really want? A police officer knocking on his door telling him that there have been big charges on his CC?
In the end though, Apple did reimburse him all the money what else is left to grunge about? Had he given his kid an Android, the situation would have been the same: kids swipe the parent's CC clean. I have no doubt Google would promptly reimburse him, just like Apple did. However, this article was written only because it involved Apple.
The Apple TV isn't marketed as a gaming console. It's advertised as a streaming box that also has games. The kind of simple whack-a-mole or platform-jumping games--the casual games. That is the same target audience with Nintendo's consoles. The iPhone/iPads are killing Nintendo's handheld devices, now the Apple TV is a threat to console too.
The serious gamers, who are willing to pay full price for AAA titles, will always want top-notch graphics. That means a gaming PC, a PS4 or an Xbox. As good as ARM processors are, they can't beat high-end dedicated graphic cards.
Yes you are talented. Yes you helped us find a security flaw. But you are too stupid and irresponsible to publish it on the Chrome store. The right way to impress your future employer is to demonstrate it to them, privately.
Can I get a job with Secret Service by penetrating them to approach within 10 feet of Obama?
(1) A few weeks after they finished remodeling my house, my toddler suffered disfiguring injuries from an accident involving the new stove. The CPS came out to investigate and arrested my boyfriend, but dropped all charges immediately upon seeing the hazardous installation performed by Link Corporation. If you have young ones in the house, avoid this business at all costs! EDIT: After posting this review the owner threatened me via email and used highly derogatory language that cannot be repeated here -- from Richmond, CA. 0 friend, 1 review.
Owners response: Right FAKE FAKE FAKE if this was true how come your insurance company or the police or cslb or anyone has never contacted us. I tell you why this is not even real. This person all these negative reviews are random Pics Google images and you will see who these people are.. Google images all negative Reviews are fake. Good news is this individual is digging himself into a deep hole..
(I couldnt find (2) on Yelp)
(3) Links work quality is pretty decent, but their professionalism leaves much to be desired. During a recent remodel I overheard the workers making crude and insensitive comments about my family background when they thought I was out of earshot. Theyve lost my respect and my business. -- from Atherton, CA. 0 friend, 1 review.
Owners response: Hi I am the owner of Link corporation. Funny how we get 2 bad reviews same day yet we have never met you. If you can prove a contract an email estimate or business card to show it was our company I will buy you a vacation to Europe fly you first class any where.. There is another company trying to copy located in Cupertino called Link build and design, Our lawyers sent a letter to that company to stop using our name. Please you can call our office directly or myself we will show you it was not us we have no problems except people making things up online. Prove it was our company and please remove this review
(4) These people talk a good game to get you to sign on the dotted line, but when it comes to execution the work is substandard and there will be constant "unforeseen" delays. Also they pressure you to leave positive reviews, which I found a little unseemly. -- Palo Alto, CA. 9 friends, 4 reviews.
Owners response: Right I do not know who you are but we never have problems. You must be part of a Nigerian scam show any kind of proof were we did work for you or someone we had problems with. Fake review for 1 person writing all bad crap..We are friends with 99% of all our customers we always have at least 4 homes under construction that anyone can visit and talk with our clients
(5) John was hired at a moments notice based on recommendation from a worker in the Lowes plumbing department. And while the job started well, in the end his company left the old galvanized pipe inside all walls on a whole house copper repipe job. I had to fire him and hire another contractor to finish the job. -- Los Gatos, CA. 20 friends, 32 reviews
Owners response: This guy is on drugs and this is not valid Post..We have pride and 100% care in all the work we do and i want all our jobs perfect..This scam man has never ever contacted our company except during the holidays asking for donations.. He has no friends and no proof.. We have never ever in 23 years done any work in los gatos Nothing..99.9% of all our jobs our Referrals..

An even easier solution: Apple just keeps the money. They don't have to pay copyright fees on songs not played. But all of it depends on the contracts Apple have the music labels.
I forgot to quantify it "the dress as shown in the picture". I know the actual dress is blue and black, but the crappy camera work was what generated so much controversy.
I'm a graphic designer and photography enthusiast. I'm typing this on a NEC PA242W color-calibrated monitor, in a near-dark room. That dress is white and gold. the white part has a blue tint but I wouldn't call it blue. The colors look the same on my iPhone 5S. When I bring the iPhone outside, the blue tinge is more apparent (a short of light sky-blue) and the gold/brown turn darker, somewhat into the black category.
The different isn't in the screens, it's in your eyes, caused by environmental light. A sunny day at noon can be 100x brighter than even a well-lit room with floor-to-ceiling windows. If it's sunny in your location right now, try this: find a view point where you can frame both the sky and a patch of dirt land (no grass or foliage). Put the camera in manual mode, pick a shutter speed, manual daylight white-balance (6500K) and a low ISO, start with a large aperture (like f/4) and gradually step it down (like f/22). The sky will appear more blue and the ground will appear darker.
That's exactly what our eyes do. In darker places, the pupils open up to accept more lights, the highlights (blueish-white) gets push up to white but mid-tones and shadows are preserved. In bright places, the opposite happen: lower mid-tones and shadows are pushed to near-black, highlights are pulled down to reveal the blue accent.
He dedicated his body to his conviction, he personally suffered for what he believes is the path to a better life, he left this world in a peaceful and voluntary mean. He didn't bomb another religion, or shoot the infidels, or behead the non-believers. To each his own religion. Religions only become bad when they creeps up on others.
Worry it not, minions. We won't steal money from you again. We will steal it directly from the source - the big fat banks. And we will grab your password and purchase history and personal details along the way.

This whole IoT concept is treating security as a joke. In the first of wave computing, the mini-computers (particularly Windows) treated security as an after-thought. That created the virus-laden era of the 1990s and early 2000s. The second wave, the "new" smart phone, learned the lessons, and use sandboxes, walled garden, permissions, encryption, tokenization, etc. pervasively. It's not fool-proof but at least the door is locked. Now we are approaching the third wave, the Internet of Things, and manufacturers think these devices are so personal that no security is needed. What do they say about people who don't learn any history?
I would distribute the pile into 10 stacks: page 1 - 100, 101 - 200, etc. Then grab each stack and divide it into 10-page stacks. Sort each mini-stack, then repeat. Recursive design, divide and conquer, blah blah blah...
My hand is a very slow CPU, and the table's surface, which is like memory, is severely limited. I have to make do with what I've got. Bonus: if there are other people to help me, they can each take a big stack and work independently of me. Parallel processing!
This is lawyer gold! Any employment lawyer should call Conal right now and ask for a meeting. If things are as he said, I can see breach of privacy and unlawful dismissal to start. Of course this is only half the story, there's no way to know for sure until Conal release his letter of dismissal and ask Comcast for the call records.
In the first Mission Impossible movie, there's a techie guy who jams all wireless service when Ethan Hunt goes to meet Max on the train. See, even hardened criminal who want to steal the CIA spy list don't know they are being jammed, let alone mere mortals.
You can now own a fridge for only $40 / months (on a 2-year plan with select providers)
Your stove has no more credit left. Do you want to purchase a $2.99 "Heat Pack" to continue cooking?
Get a free car! Want to drive? $19.99 in-app purchase for 100 miles. Want to unlock door? $0.99 for a 10-pack. Or $9.99 for a mega-pack with AC.
If it contains electronic copies of my various cards, I would buy one in the bat of an eye. Replace my monthly transit pass, office entry card, credit card (already happen with the Apple Watch), various loyalty cards, etc.
Also: add a bar code scanner to it so I can check out the price of anything at Walmart / Home Depot, etc
He is suing from Shenzen, mainland China. It would have been different if he sues from Hong Kong, which has a more independent judicial system. My guess is that he will be counter-sued by the state for obstructing the government, disturbing the peace and spreading anti-government messages. The lawsuit has no change of success, meanwhile, the litigator has a pretty big chance of having some phony charges pressed against him, and may end up in jail.

Lenovo ThinkPads that are lighter, much faster, and highly more cable than any model
As in wall-hugger?
Dude, we are suing you for the iMax. You can't change a single letter from the name of our product, iMac, and call it your own!
And don't you know that we *own* the letter 'i'?

Finally. Someone as Intel figured that pushing both types of connector that they invented is not such a smart thing.
One port to rule them all. One place to find them
One cable to bring them in and in Thunderbolt bind them
Now let those who bought those $50 Thunderbolt cable cry about bloody murder.
With the amount of potential information mining that could be done with these apps, I'm surprised they aren't all cross-platform.
NSA is cross-platform and very easy to use. You don't even need to sign up for it. Come free with every phone call.
Can HTTPS help when even the certificate is faked? I can barely hold any trust about anything from China these days.

Prohibition 2.0 coming up next. Because the first one was a total success and Al Capone was simply a businessman delivering the goods people wanted.
And the War on Drugs is also a resounding accomplishment too!
