How is it less security though? You don't have to follow someone for very long with a high zoom camera before you can get their passcode and that is a lot easier than duplicating their fingerprint. And yeh it is much much more convenie

Some people seem to be forgetting what this is being used for. This is an OPTIONAL replacement for the pass code. However you feel about its level of security it is definitely more secure than a passcode which is the other option. If someon

I agree with what you are saying, but as far as reliability goes github sucks badly and until it gets much much more reliable I think using it for "everything" isn't really viable for most businesses (unless they have enterpr

I was questioned by police a year ago. I hadn't done anything and was at the police station voluntarily but after an hour I exercised my right to leave - the 2 officers knew absolutely nothing about the crimes they were meant to be inv

Anyone can edit wikipedia - that is what makes it great. I don't think it is accurate to describe Snowden as either a "traitor" or a "hero" (or similar words as used in other comments) and dissident was pretty accur

Being able to tell the difference between 13 different handsets and being able to 'trace any cellphone' are two very different things. Pick 13 random people from the planet and you can tell the difference between them if you know

Is there a way to test responsive designs with this? Can you set the device metrics?

Just to clarify, if I want to run this as part of travis then I should have the screenshots under source control and when I intentionally change the UI I should run it locally and push the new screenshot as part of the commit but when I don

Probably because projects which were not designed to be open source rely on too many internal systems to be worth open sourcing. The google feedback tool springs to mind, the google engineer that made it is working towards open sourcing it
