If you set foot in a country, they can arrest you for violating their laws. Doesn't matter if you aren't a citizen and live overseas. If you come there, they can arrest you. So let's say you regularly trash Islam and the Ayatollah and are well known for this. Then you travel to Iran. They very well can arrest you for that. They can't do much if you don't go there but if you show up, they can grab you.
Actually, most countries will prosecute you only for things you did in that country (including things that take effect in the country), with very few exceptions, and I have no reason to believe that Iran would be different.
Mac OS 1-8, and to some extent 9, kept remote hackers away. Largely due to missing functionality, it was considered the most secure platform at the time.
I remember the US army using Mac servers. If you wanted to hack them, you first had to get past the armed guards:-)
Apple CEOs recently sold off a lot of their stock at the height of the iPhone 6 release: http://www.businessinsider.com... [businessinsider.com] My guess is that they knew this was coming and cashed out at the highest possible value. It might be time to short AAPL.
You are welcome to short AAPL, but you should be careful, since apparently you have not a clue how the stock market works. When insiders like Apple's CEO trade shares, they can't use the insider information which they obviously have, because that would mean jail time if the SEC finds out. Instead, they have to enter these trades a long time (around a year) before the trade is executed, and there is no way to back out of this. So Tim Cook could today set up a trade to sell 10,000 AAPL shares on the 23rd of September 2015, and if he does that, the sale will go through on that day - even if AAPL is at a low on that day and Tim Cook has news that will double the share price on the next day.
Fact: The EU is having a close look at the deals between Apple and the Irish government. Fact: There is no indication whatsoever that anyone is asking for any back payments, and there is no indication whatsoever that anyone is asking for large penalties.
In other words, the whole article is pure nonsense.
That didn't *fix* anything though. As was widely reported at the time, ALL phones lose signal dramatically with a death grip, iPhone or no, even with a case.
I don't know about "all" but both non-Apple phones that I owned at the time stated in their user manual that gripping the phone in the wrong way would lose to signal loss (also known as "you're holding it wrong").
But doesn't Apple advertise themselves as better than the rest? Or is that only in "inspiring" (cough cough snort... almost choked on that one) designs.
There was a Rolls Royce dealer who was asked how many horse powers a Rolls Royce had. The answer was "enough".
There is a limit to the force that any phone would endure during normal use. Any phone surviving up to that limit is fine. And the iPhone does.
By the way, you might want to see a doctor about that (cough cough snort) of yours. Doesn't sound healthy.
This is nothing more than anti GPL FUD. I mean how did Apple manage to originally bundle BASH without contaminating Mac OS X with the GPL 'viral' license. Shame on Ars Technica for spreading this FUD further. Since when has slashdot become a platform for spreading anti-GPL propaganda?
Excuse me, but there is no "anti GPL FUD" or "anti-GPL propaganda". Apple doesn't want to touch GPL 3 licensed code, and quite rightfully so.
I thought the legal tender law required a creditor to accept cash as a repayment of debt. So take the loan and pay it off before any interest accrues.
It doesn't say that they need to let you pay back the loan early. If your contract says $500 over 60 months, they have to accept $500 cash every month for the next 60 months and can't demand you pay buy cheque or using a card, but they don't have to accept the full amount in cash at once.
I'd want to see where this information comes from. There are websites where I have no idea why the idiots want a password from me, so it is entirely possible that many users of such a site would use stupid passwords. And use a much safe password for their AppleID password.
This will likely make life even easier for law enforcement as they can easily get the owner's fingerprints to unlock the device as opposed to a password which requires cooperation from the suspect (or a back door or password cracker).
I quite suspect that taking a fingerprint by force will make any evidence found impermissible. And it is very easy to prove that you took a fingerprint by force: All the accused has to do is say that you did in court, hand over their phone, and if the police don't have the passcode (which they wouldn't) the accused's story must be true.
This is Apple customers, dude. Most of them think we didn't land on the moon and think Apple can do no wrong and has never had a defective product.
I thought the only reported case was an Android user who insisted on showing his girlfriend that her iPhone would really charge in a microwave. She's his ex girlfriend now.
There's also a slight difference between what's legal in a press release and what's legal in SEC filings. In SEC filings, Apple would have reduce its revenue slightly to account for phones that are sold but returned, or phones that are sold but Apple never gets payment. Things like phones4U in the UK going out of business.
Thing is the iPhone 6 is only 326 PPI, while the 6 Plus is 401 PPI. If you couldn't see any improvement beyond the old Retina display level of about 320 PPI then why bother going to 401 PPI for the 6 Plus?
With that resolution, apps have the choice of mapping 1 point = 2 pixels or 1 point = 3 pixels, so the bigger screen can be used to hold much more information at a slightly smaller point size and original quality, or the same information at much higher point size and higher quality.
UK. My last place was pretty quick ADSL and it topped out at about 12 down, 2 up. My iPhone 4 on regular old HSDPA was hitting nearly 20 down, 2 up very easily. Might depend on where you live; I imagine the bigger cities have better broadband and worse cellular connections. Regardless, that poor mobile infrastructure is something that's not going to be fixed by improving the phone's radio which is my point.
And to relate to the article, these are specs that don't matter if (a) your ADSL connection isn't reliable, or (b) you have a super fast connection for your phone and a 500 MB monthly data allowance that you can go through in four minutes.
Most of the image reviews have also been made by the same person, indicating an active campaign against the author.
That doesn't follow. If I read a science paper and thought that it was rubbish and wrote about it because it annoys me if rubbish papers are published, then it would be obvious that I would look for other papers of the same author and check them out as well. That's not an "active campaign against the author", it's an active campaign for papers that are not rubbish.
So ISIL are threatening to kill people in western countries that it considers "disbelievers"
Forget about that believer/disbeliever nonsense. All these guys want to do is rape and kill. Sometimes they may come up with something to "justify" what they are doing, but that's just to spread confusion so they have more time to rape and kill.
Well, they based their state on what they divined from the Quran, right? That certainly doesn't make them Buddhist. Regarding the "state" part, State of Palestine is also considered to be a state by many countries. Legitimacy is merely about how many people you can convince. It's not a thing you can measure with a multimeter or something.
I don't know if you noticed, but these guys have been called "barbaric" by Al Quaeda, and by known extremist muslims in the UK. They are not muslims. They are f***ing bastards who like to kill people and found an excuse.
Some geeks look at measurements, condensed to numbers, and call it "specs". Geeks like numbers.
Many things that matter don't work that way. An awful example is cameras and megapixels - megapixels are a simple spec that is easy to compare and absolutely meaningless. The iPhone 6+ has a lot of improvements that make the camera work an awful lot better and let you make a lot better pictures (if it all works as advertised, which I didn't have a chance to test), and that all cannot be measured in specs.
There are other meaningless numbers. USB3 flash drives and transfer speed: Do a proper benchmark and you find out that most of these drive have performance that totally breaks down if you copy small files which make them totally useless for some purposes. No matter what the "transfer speed" says.
If you buy hard drives, you'll have a hard time finding anything below 500 GB. For must users that's much more than they will ever need (not everyone obviously), so 500GB, 1TB, 2TB is all the same.
You see stories about people at 100 years old. It's news because it isn't that common. I know people who are active into their 90's. I know a lot more in their late 70's who are living on maintenance drugs and opiates, riddled with pain pretty well fuzzed out. A little older, and they are starting the dementia trip, with nursing homes at the ready to take their estates.
I happen to know a woman who works in a nursing home, with many of the residents being younger than her.
How do they score on the ratio of iPhones sold to factory-worker suicides?
The number of suicides at Foxconn, which has about 1.2 million employees, was (2) and (1) in the last two years, according to Wikipedia. The USA has about 45,000 suicides per year; at that rate Foxconn should have had about 180 per year.
Compared to the number of people dying from leukaemia at Samsung factories, they are doing quite well.
Apple uses the actually sold numbers, Android used the hidden in the supply chain number.
Actually, Apple counts: Online orders when they are delivered to the customer, phones sold in Apple stores, and phones delivered to other stores. In this case, since everyone sold out the number of phones that Apple sold to non-Apple stores and the number these stores sold to end users are the same.
How many phones does Samsung and Google sell every time there is a new Android phone?
Google: None. Samsung: Fewer, with tendency going down.
Samsung usually does a massive channel fill on the first day and counts it as sold. Apple did a massive channel fill, and the channel sold all of them:-) That's the difference.
The scientist and his lawyer suspect foul play by anonymous person(s) who allegedly defamed him by posting ad hominem attacks in their pubpeer comments and then distributed those comment pages to both universities associated with him.
So shouldn't these universities have figured out that there were anonymous person(s) involved defaming him by posting ad hominem attacks?

OK, here's the full source to Apple's version of bash, and here is the source to the entire open part of OSX, including the XNU kernel.
Just noticed with surprise that linking to Apple open source code is apparently "flame bait".
