   And the betas prompt you to update. But after the last beta (which was the 7.0 GM), update checks within Settings and within iTunes said "you're up to date". Never was there any hint that there was a problem. Furthermore, the

   My iphone 4s was running the iOS7 betas. The last update was the GM beta and it never asked to update again (apparently 7.0.2 has been out)? I was listening to a podcast and the audio was still playing when it locked my screen and demanded

   I don't think your fears are justified by the article. The first thing you read is a pull-out quote that says: >Tor is a well-designed and robust anonymity tool, and successfully attacking it is difficult. Maybe you're referrin

    Don't mix up "better" with "perfect". That's the mistake made by people who post a link to the trusting-trust: Trust isn't binary. "Perfect or give up" is a false dichotomy. I sometimes say &quot
