On the other hand, this post from The Verge explains what is actually going on: http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/25/2973849/google-drive-terms... The important quote: "Looking at some of Google's competitors, it's clear that they need the e

It was first seen in a preview of Windows 8, I believe, not Honeycomb. (Android, even 4.0, doesn't have a split keyboard built in, although they do allow you to install your own.)

One of the reasons they added even more of the Apple ID password dialogs is because of issues like this: http://in.finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-sued-over-apps-luring... Basically, without repeated re-authorization (generally via password)

Faking IMEI/IMSI/etc numbers is illegal in most places, though, and a number of the (I believe the Gevey in particular, at least one model of it) does that.

I'll agree with that. The scientific data sets are only going to get bigger.

While this sounds nice, the truth is that most people do not need — or, in most cases, want — to code, or even to know how their computers work. As time goes on, the levels of abstraction increase, not decrease. And with things like the i

I'm not an expert, but I know some of them faked IMEI/IMSI/some acronym numbers to pretend to be from the official carrier for the iPhone. IIRC, that is also illegal (as is the emergency services call in the newer ones).

It's also illegal in most first-world countries and (recent versions) depend on calling emergency services every boot, so definitely not always an (or the best) option.

On the other hand, for the i386 copies of FreeBSD (which the great-grandparent was talking about), Apple does release working copies of their FreeBSD-derived kernel.

No, they do not sell interests to advertisers. What they do is allow advertisers to show their ads to people with those specific ages, interests, and such. It's a subtle and important difference: with this method, advertisers only know that

That does not happen either; user data is not given to third parties. I do not work at Facebook; however, this has been clearly and repeatedly stated by them (including, I believe, in legal filings).

by Xuzz 14y ago
No, they sell services using it. Advertisers and others who give Facebook money do not see user information; they just pay to leverage it for effective targeting.

I'm sure that with Apple's declining and certainly minority market share in one form of computing (cell phones), that would be the biggest issue here? When the web is fully accessible on these devices, and something like Wikipedia can and

Like this, you mean? https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=116481065103985 It's certainly not a complete copy of everything referencing you in their database, and it only includes information you entered (not friends' details), but it does

Nobody is saying it's a good law, or an improvement. All I feel is that it doesn't change much: as you said, Facebook can already share that information. What requirement is there that they must be "under attack"? This really just doesn't c

Remember guys, this bill does pretty much nothing. If you read it, it simply allows some completely optional data sharing for prevention against attacks. However, in most cases, there is already no law against completely optionally sharing

No, but I think it's reasonable to just not sell through their market if they won't let you choose your end-user price. I feel the same way about my apps — I don't want to sell through the Amazon Appstore where they choose my price for me.

Please read the actual text of CISPA before making any judgements. It's reasonably short and not all that hard to understand. It's also nowhere near as evil as it is being made out to be. For those interested, here's a link: http://www.ope

That $575 number is nonsensical; the iPhone 4S (the most expensive model) costs $599 off-contract. These phones do not cost $25 to make. The real number is somewhere around $300, most of which paid by the carrier: http://www.asymco.com/201

You can't purge backups: if the servers were allowed to go in and remotely modify the off-site backups to purge deleted data, then an intruder could do the same thing for all data. So you can't permanently delete data in the backups. When s

I believe it runs fine: the 2009 iPhone 3GS processor is slower than the 2010 iPhone 4, but parses/pushes 1/4 the amount of pixels. From experience, while neither of them are particularly fast at CPU-bound operations, the iPhone 3GS and iPh

They've sold over 250,000,000 iOS devices. Are you really saying there are (at the low end of "key", let's go with 10%) 25 million of them? I think that might be a little exaggerated. Not saying they don't exist, but a "key" part of the u
