If this is the case, you posting a citation proving it should be trivial. Or maybe your theory is nice, but it doesn't match reality... Considering right in TFA it states this particular malware was installed using infected third-party apps, saying this would work even on a phone set to not install third party apps seems a bit inaccurate.
So say I sell you a house with a door with locks. The door locks by default when you shut it, but you decide to change it, and leave your door unlocked all the time, and as a result, get robbed. Obviously this is my fault for selling you a house with a "known security defect", the manufacturer of the door for allowing it to be unlocked, the lock manufacturer, and anybody in the else in the world you can think of but yourself. Sorry, but at some point the user has to take some responsibility for his own actions. Even with it's walled garden an iPhone user could still leave his phone on the bus. Is that Apple fault for making a phone you can put down? Hardly. Any Android user who gets owned by a third-party app has allowed that to happen by playing with the default security. If you don't know what you are doing, you have no business changing the security settings in the first place.
Anytime you think of an operating system as your security, you have already lost the battle. Security is a process and procedures, not a product, not software, and not an operating system. Android can be locked down securely as well as iOS. Just don't uncheck the box allowing third party software to be installed and you thwart this type of attack.
But if the need arose for more storage space, buying a bigger SD card for under $150 would be preferable to upgrading to the next fixed size storage tablet at over $500. Plus if you get a new tablet, you can use the same SD card in that, and easily and almost instantly transfer all of your data.
I have never seen a MicroSD card "stick out" of anything, that is not even valid here. It isn't a USB thumb drive we are talking about, or something external you need to carry. Install it once and you are done. It is basically "built-in" once installed. The Cloud is useless if you are in an area with no internet access. I want access to all of my files 100% of the time and quickly. Time is valuable to me. I could care less what MS is "touting" about the Cloud. Microsoft includes an expansion slot for additional local storage in their tablet, something lacking in the Apple tablets.
Sure but with an iPad you have NO options for expanding the memory - you are stuck with what you purchased. Most other tablets, Surface included, have expansion slots that will accept cards giving you more storage space. The exclusion of this by Apple tells you how often they want their users to upgrade and buy a brand new iPad. For about $130 you can get a 128 GB microSDXC card - compare that to buying an entire new iPad once it is out of storage space.
I can attest to this. The previous TV I owned was a 35" Panasonic tube TV I bought in 1995. I paid about $1100 or so at the time. I just bought a 46" Samsung LED LCD 3D TV, and it was under $1000. And considering adjusting for inflation rates and such, that is a lot cheaper than what I paid for my old TV. $1100 was a lot of dough in the Clinton years...
However, my previous TV lasted 17 years and I have no doubt that the new one won't last anywhere near that long.
Have you ever tried installing Windows... and just let the machine sit there, never using it?
Yes, for an employee who was transferred off site and never used her system.
Even if you never used it, in a few short months, it will be unusable anyway.
Err, no. The system sat there for over 9 months of non-use. Works just fine even today. Of course once someone started using it for real it needed about an hour and a half of updating, but still running on the original OS install after sitting for a while not being used.
Yes if only there was some sort of policy regarding privacy that sites like Google would make public... Something that was easy to find, perhaps right on the bottom of every page. Something that said something like Privacy & Terms that you could simply click on to get information.
All I stated was the technology behind 3D glasses is polarization. I didn't claim polarized sunglasses are the same as 3D glasses anywhere. I wasn't trying to imply anything beyond the fact that most 3D glasses use polarization. Anything else is inference by others, not what was stated.
Unless they are identifying every person they see on the CCTV you can't really equate the two. RFID uniquely identifies people automatically, CCTV does not.
Sure, if by "loophole" you meant actual dictionary definition and by "scouring" you meant taking 2 seconds to type the word into the Merriam-Webster search engine.
I guess the real question is "Why am I even bothering to respond to someone who thinks dictionary definitions are"loopholes" if they don't agree with them, and someone who thinks the only context to a statement is their own?"
And anyone using "video-game induced crime" figures are just manipulating data to cherry pick the results they desire. It's not bashing video games I have a problem with, it is manipulating data to achieve the pre-determined results they had decided long before they even considered any of the actual data. Junk science and non-scientific studies are the problem here. There is no such thing as "video game related crime" - there has never been any actual scientific studies by a non-biased research group that prove any link that I have seen. If you know of one, please provide a citation.
Not quite. That is ONE definition of coercion. Merriam-Webster defines coercion as-
1 : to restrain or dominate by force
2 : to compel to an act or choice
3 : to achieve by force or threat
So #2 does not require force or threats, and one can be coerced without threats or physical force.
As a wise man on the internet once said "You don't get to change the meaning to suit your world view."
No, the jocks don't do they actual shooting themselves. But they are likely the ones who bullied the nerd into the rage that triggered the nerd's violent actions, so they are also responsible to some degree.
I played hockey since I was 5, and also played for my high school for a year. But I had to quit - because of all the idiot jocks and their homophobia, misogyny, and general distaste for anything they couldn't understand or was slightly different from them. You should have heard the shit that was talked about in the locker room. Yeah, those dumb louts sure had a firm grip on their emotions all right.
Yeah, but don't you have to mail a sample in and wait a while before you get results from DanceSafe? This is a mobile lab that gives you quick results. That is the part that is unique, not just the testing part.
I was under the impression this is what they were all already doing - playing with the dynamic range in order for it to sound louder, but not be any higher in decibels. I guess it all boils down to the standard used for determining "loudness". If it is only measuring decibels, nothing will change.
I could ask you the same question. All you are doing is misidentifying people, how is that adding anything to the discussion ? If I were you I would assume you were someone else, misidentify you, and call you an obvious Apple shill. Thank god I am not you and will use logical discourse instead.
If all you have are false accusations and strawman arguments, I think we are done here.

it cost way more because of it

Judges can actually use common sense
No, the law doesn't work like that.

So we should just infect the most brilliant doctors and scientists with AIDS - then we would have a cure quickly.

Nobody uses the red/blue or color blocking anymore, that is ancient technology now. And LCD shutters use polarization.
And what do you think the technology behind 3D glasses is? Hint: polarization

In the prequel - where all kinds of little benign seeming things happened and people kept saying "I don't see a problem with this."
And don't forget PsychFest!

Displays and phones - that is what Samsung is good at making. Do not stray from this and you will be rarely disappointed.
