ok i couldn't find anything that was recent about it so i figured it must still be the same .

Good to see that not all the courts are on the payroll of Apple seeing as they can't talk stealing wi-fi and not paying Royalties to the ozzie inventors until they where taken to court .

Speak of the devil...

Update

"It has now been approved by the Federal Communications Commission."

Gooba gaba what are your going on about .

That new fone is going to make a very big dent in Apple market . What they have done is freaking Genious i love it .

my fone is in a leather case and i can't see if i get a message or missed phone call if the case is shut which it is 99% of the time with this phone it won't matter if the case is closed i will see if i missed a call or text and i wont even need to open the case as i will be able to see the side screen which i can right now but at the moment all i see is the black side of the case .

As for Apple going broke in the late 80's early 90's they may have not gone completely belly up but came very close to it and fell behind on there tech and that is what i meant .

Bye bye Apple and good riddance too .

Well depends which business articles you read, but the overall feeling is that it is Samsung that is struggling to catch up to the iPhone 6.

Last I heard Apple has quite a bit of spare cash and Samsung is struggling because obviously it is easy for cheap Samsung copies to exist as they can easily use Andriod, whereas iPhone copies may look like an iPhone but obviously don't work like one.

I have used Blackberry, a Samsung Galaxy, and an iPhone 3G and 4S and the iPhone won hands down.

However in this cutthroat business world you never can tell and sometimes the best man doesn't' win.

As an old fart. I will never use all the tech built into my phone. I have a motorala droid that is two years old. Hell, I have to ask the grandkids on how to acess certain things. I like my smart phone it does some wonder full things when Im on the road and need directions. It tells me the weather, time and date. It takes better photos than my 10 year old digital camera does. I resisted a long time on getting one. Im glad I did. Just having apps that I want is worth it.
But saying that. I wont give up my desk top PC. The day that a smart phone can crunch 45,000 rac in a day, I might consider it.
And one thing that does bother me, Apple refuses still to add a SD card for more storage. WHY? Hell my old Ipod has 120 GB of storage. I fit my entire 430 CD music collection on it over 5300 songs. WHY cant they make the Iphone that big. My answer is that they are arrogant. WE will tell you what you need for storage. And screw the cloud. I want my stuff on my own hard drives or storage devices. Not in some nether world.

Is this really for good or bad? Or just simply far too open to abuse?...


The petition to block the Samaritans' Twitter app

The Samaritans Radar app - created to tell you which of your Twitter followers might be feeling low...

... Once downloaded, the app tracks tweets from people you follow on Twitter, and emails you if any of them sound distressed. If one of them writes "help me", "hate myself", or any other phrase the organisation deems troublesome, you'll receive an email from the Samaritans nudging you to take a closer look. The tweets are already public, and you might have spotted them anyway, so the service simply highlights things you might've missed. Right?...




Note that the default is that you are "(co)opted in" whether or not you even know about such checks on your twitterings...

Does this also open up a whole new range of Marketing?...

Madison avenue is already reading all your tweets. They did that as soon as twitter launched. Next stop will be automated reading of Seti posts!

Creepy

At least that is a lot more visible than the various "tracking 'tech'" that is ever more widely used to 'track' people and what they do every moment. If only more of the victims knew?...

So we have these two small push-backs against such intrusion:


Samaritans pulls 'suicide watch' Radar app

An app made by the Samaritans that was supposed to detect when people on Twitter appeared to be suicidal has been pulled due to "serious" concerns...


Carrier IQ to settle snooping app row

A settlement has been reached in a three-year legal row about accusations that software installed on millions of smartphones spied on users...



Note how for those examples, they appear to be being 'reworked' due public opinion and/or the specter of legal action due to the victims "not being informed"...

So from that, expect ever more expansive EULAs to victimize yourself to absolve such snooping and abuse?

Is there more to social media that what is known?

Received a warning from Facebook: - Using a feature in a way that it was not meant to be used & if I continue, I'll be blocked from using it!

All I was doing was liking Films I've watched, Books I've read & Music I like listening to.

Makes me wonder why they have the "like" feature.

I read that and what struck me was "The bug had been present in every version of Windows since 95" even I assume XP, so are MS going to release a patch for XP?

If not it could be the final nail in the coffin.

... And you thought that the "secure" setting for your email meant that your email would be sent secure and encrypted?...

Not if you're connecting via some internet providers:


ISPs Removing Their Customers' Email Encryption

Recently, Verizon was caught tampering with its customer's web requests to inject a tracking super-cookie. Another network-tampering threat to user safety has come to light from other providers: email encryption downgrade attacks. In recent months, researchers have reported ISPs in the US and Thailand intercepting their customers' data to strip a security flag called STARTTLS from email traffic. The STARTTLS flag is an essential security and privacy protection used by an email server to request encryption...

By stripping out this flag, these ISPs prevent the email servers from successfully encrypting their conversation, and by default the servers will [then] proceed to send email unencrypted...




And yet eavesdropping on a telephone conversation is supposedly illegal?...

If you are a customer that gets XP patches, you have the patch. If not, well there are ways to get the patch.

Maybe the reason Linux hasn't been hacked is the fact that it is not in mainstream use like the various versions of windows.

Linux and all *nix have been hacked repeatedly and seriously. The reason we don't hear about it is the reporters for MSM have Windows boxes on their desk, not *nix boxes. Ergo *nix doesn't matter.
