So why would Apple voluntarily issue an update to fix the problem if they were gagged under a secret court order?

As WhatsApp's user base grows, the probability of users who are also on Facebook increases and vice versa. Which means you are supporting my argument that this is just a play for "number of users", since it's very likely

It's not apparent to me that having the "most number of users" is a net win as I stated previously, especially so when the WhatsApp co-founder states unequivocally that "nothing is going to change" for its users. Th

Framed another way, it goes to demonstrate the ridiculous price paid for the company. How are the "other 3 billion people" without smartphones going to contribute to Facebook's bottom line? When they don't even have Face

The author does not even touch on the ease of use for paying for content; in the case of in-app purchases the walled gardens are far ahead of the open web. I'm not quite sure of what to make of his claim that he does not know of anyone

This is entirely anecdotal but "Amy" could very well be my sister-in-law. Yes, she's 30. Her previous two boyfriends had the same first name and the current guy she's seeing also has the same first name. I don't thi

>Tax is a big deal, of course, but even nations can't always compete with the popular sentiment tidal forces enabled by the internet. How has the Internet outrage about NSA spying affected the US government?

Thank you for sharing this! I internalized some of these lessons from my own life and it has made me feel a bit better about similar conclusions reached.

I found this to largely be a cultural thing with the Japanese. Japanese are extremely proud of their work and to mention ANY kind of mistake or improvement is tantamount to insulting their mother. Of course there are exceptions but this is

This is a dangerous narrative that links the founder to the company in the same way that Apple is forever linked to Steve Jobs.

Interesting that the other replies to your question are so assured of the dominance of the cable companies. In other words, the perfect industry to disrupt. Before Apple came along, Nokia, RIM and Windows Mobile were poised to rule the mobi

Where is the option for Google to pay me if they choose to use my image or likeness in "Shared Endorsements"? I can't see why anyone who is even a minor celebrity/blogger whose livelihood depends on being in the public c

I don't understand. What does bad RAM have to do with re-installing OS X? Also, even if the RAM somehow corrupted the OS, weren't you able to boot into the recovery partition? Or even install it on a USB drive beforehand? https:&

This is how it will go down. First, the government is going to own these companies. Then they are going to declare the technology illegal to use in private hands. Third, they will train operatives that can only be certified by government ag

Can someone please give a reasonable explanation as to why a secret court needs to exist in the first place?

They know all this, and this bad behavior will not be corrected as long as moral hazard exists.

That's not what I meant. The state is run like a corporation. Singapore does not have a FEMA because it has never had to deal with natural disasters or an ecological crisis of this magnitude. Thus the government and its people are ill-

It's a blame game. Can anyone deny that the source of the fire originates from Sumatra Indonesia? Is Indonesia a sovereign nation or not? If Indonesia says that it is not responsible for the fires because they are started by non-Indone

People are reactive, not proactive. Especially Singaporeans, who have been indoctrinated since birth, to seek guidance from its government instead of taking matters into their own hands. The prime minister has already stated that the situat

This is a potentially dangerous situation; a lot of people just do not realize the gravity of it. Singapore is an island with only two links out of the country to neighboring Malaysia. It is also one of the most densely populated countries
