so they are sore at apple, for what???
being apple?
when you buy apple products you better know that you are at their mercy. it is the entire point of an apple product.
How many devices and pieces of software use multiple servers, cloud hosting (aws, etc), different ports, push json to where ever the hell.
This will never work unless the firewall is built to auth to the services itself or some higher level inspection...which means a bigger cpu.
Also, inspection of https or any TLS traffic is something still hard/different to do. You gonna install a root cert on your smart TV.
I am willing to bet that this code was originally meant to monitor Chinese users and was either put in by a Chinese agent without the companies knowledge or forded to be put in by the Chinese government. I would be willing to think that someone forgot to take it out, or someone said lets try this, but for the Chinese government to do something so obvious...I do now know.
"15Mph around a curve which is not even posted as a curve (no danger) and 20-25 where the speed limit is posted at 35-45."
Do you think they have the speed set low right now so when accidents do occur that statistically there is less risk of a fatality?
Can they handle weather, potholes, unmapped roads, and construction yet?
I hate the hype, and hopefully soon these cars will drive fast, and work better, but it seems like all of these news reports are always forgetting to mention the bad.
I have been able to hit 50mbit speeds in 3 locations in America and most of them are right by Airports. It is like they only care about Airports.
I agree with what everyone says here, what is the point in making any of it faster if they just cap/throttle everything and engage in deceptive marketing to avoid negative PR over it?
ATT's CTO Andre Fuetsch has forgotten what it is like to have a data cap...sure they want to Extend LTE out, they want to get a great ROI...who cares about everything else.
5g? What would we ever need that for, lets not think about it...
It is pathetic that we let these guys have these conferences where they can continue to swap their delusions around and keep the idea alive that the consumer does not get it.
We do get it. ATT is a horrible business and Andre Fuetsch is a horrible businessman.
If every other cell provider was not just as horrible as ATT, then we could do something about it but when they want to get together and keep prices high to make something off of nothing...then we cannot win.
Why do these people feel the need to make laws about the internet? Net Neutrality should be a simple thing. Keep your dam hands off the internet and stop controlling innovation. Laws should not control these type of innovations. These people are so very short sited and have only desire to profit from nothingness. Charge for faster speeds to X, etc. Companies want to have an internet monoploly. Its what all businesses want to do. Cheat and scam to the top.
This will never work. The internet will evolve past it. High level encryption and encrypted routes. Where is my packet going? None of your dam business.
Lazy, ineffective, and stupid. Politicians are clueless about technology and this is why any law they create will fail. I bet you even the Net Neutrality bill is FUBAR. Prolly has loop holes and bull written in it. These guys need SIMPLE one sentenance rules created by technologists. The internet commandments.
I wish people where smarter and cared about this. The general population is so lame. Too bad people just wanna see their netflix and youporn. How many critical processes will be effected by crap QOS rules put in place by ISPs? It may just be more consumer oriented now but what happends when the higher level providers get even more greedy?
Crap, Pure Crap
WTF?
You guys are all way off base. Use your imagination. Hell even standing while doing computer work would be nice.
This isn't here to replace the mouse. Its here to supplement a new interface to a computer. If any of you had any imagination at all you would understand that this opens doors for a lot of different ideas, user interfaces, and general user work.
This would make life interactive instead of me sitting on my ass all day and staring into my LCD monitors.
It seems to me that it will make complex things simple to people who could never have the will to do it or learn it.

paying for the same thing they are made of....
want software to work right, anyone else like the cloud shoved down their throat? Glad they are teaming up with another company doing the same...
do you think they will give users root?
the only resumes they are getting are from companies they are not allowed to call...
fear the free software that gives you options
"A project"?????? You mean, many projects.
anyone see google NOT becoming exactly like ms over the next few years?
