I don't think the "how" has been revealed, but theories are that they didn't necessarily get the data from any stored location but could have skimmed it at the time of usage (malware at the card scanner/register)

it's not quite that easy. If your adnetwork doesn't support SSL, you get mixed-content warnings. Same issue if you allow external images to be included (such as on a forum). You have to then host a caching proxy for external im

This is actually an advantage of cloud distribution. What if you want to run an older version of Word but haven't bought it yet? It can be a pain to find an old copy to buy. Whereas Apple has all the old versions on their servers an

Didn't Facebook famously switch from HTML5 to Native for their iOS app? If a company with the resources of Facebook can't do it effectively, I think you underestimate the problem or overestimate web-tech capabilities. http:&#x2F

it's actually an interesting scenario. Let's say Google search went away. What services would people flock to, and would they be able to stay up? I guess Bing is the next closest, and it would probably go down.

But once you have Draw Something and hundreds of millions of users, it's easier to launch the next hit. Having that leverage is a big advantage in the iOS marketplace where discovery is a major challenge for newcomers.

I've had backup restore to a new device not work for google authenticator (I assumed that was by design), which is what has made me wary of it. But for your app, I assume you use manual re-authentication if someone loses their device?

What about losing your device? How is that handled with something like Google Authenticator? Don't you then have to fall back to some sort of manual verification? If you lose your SMS authenticated Phone, you can get a new one and tr

I hate this line of reasoning. It can be unjustly applied to everything. Your programmer's incentive is to do a half-assed job, so you are more reliant on them for bug fixes and so on. Therefore, no programmer is going to be trying to do
