No, flattr cannot be used for in-app purchases. The idea behind flattr is that you voluntarily honor a podcast (or some other work that somebody has created and put online) by putting them on your personal list of people that will get a fra

Sure: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1736 "Further improvements to Touch ID fingerprint recognition". TouchID was updated in system updates 7.0.1, 7.1 and 7.11: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

Because those hashes, when leaked to an outside party with a big database of fingerprints (say, the NSA), can be easily be combined to find matches in that database and identify somebody. Hashes don't solve all the problems, cmelbye, t

So how do they internally aggregate an image of your fingerprint during actual usage, then? Also, hash plus salt together is info that identifies a fingerprint. Why shouldn't it be possible to leak that info? Once you have it, you can

I think there is reason to doubt that TouchID stores your fingerprint as a hash. Let me elaborate: Even after the initial priming phase, TouchID continues to learn and adapt to your fingerprints. So during priming, you could always place yo

I stand by my statement. Your feeble attempts and downvoting me into light grey can't silence me! Stupendous man will save the day again! :-P

Thanks for the link! Apple sent out at least 1 update to TouchID as part of a regular iOS update. In my view, from a few miles up, the fact that you can update TouchID doesn't install a lot of confidence in this tech. Apple can change

From the article: "Private Browsing mode — which doesn’t save your browsing history" I wonder whether iCloud tabs still work in private browsing mode. In other words, do Apple and others still get to see all your supposedly "

Search engine placement is big business - doesn't Firefox make millions each year with Google referrals? Apple did not add ddg in the past few years despite people asking them to, which might indicate that Apple, too, asks for money fo

I'm still creeped out by Touch ID (not this opening up, just Touch ID in general): The recent Snowden files revealed that the NSA actively searches for and indexes pictures of faces and fingerprints. I doubt this is 100% secure (since

What about flattr? Apple denied podcast apps that had a flattr button before... is this now ok again as well?

In other words, you agree that iCloud's attempt at vendor lock-in is bad for developers and consumers alike.

Boosted boards are 6.8kg. The Marbel board is even lighter at 4.5kg(!), so it's even easier to carry, and the range is greater as well (16km instead of 9.6km): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1664522105/m

Maybe your monitor is misconfigured to only show the middle part of the contrast range? Anything "pops" on such a screen. Can you see all the values in this gradient? http://www.drycreekphoto.com/Learn/Calibra

I don't like the low contrast and drab grey of the result page. It makes it much harder to jump between results with the eyes. Luckily, there is a "classic" mode. Please Gabriel, make classic mode the default mode again.

If this keyboard is as lightweight as others i've seen, I imagine this Acer solution to topple over if the screen is pushed back more than 90 degrees, no? What keeps it upright?

According to the article and video, under the proposed law, bikes wouldn't be allowed to "blow through a stop sign". The fine for that would be even increased. Which makes me wonder, what's the difference between "y

Exactly. You could argue that if Apple is happy with this situation where some of its customers get worse products than others, then this is absolutely worth punishing Apple for. And a good way to do this is by publishing benchmark reviews
