I agree that this usage of mocks is detrimental. I think the only verification that should be done with mocks (the verify method) is that important collaborators have been called. Things that run off and mutate some global state, or perfo

Maybe too snarky, but they could have simply called Apple support and gotten them to reset the password. If a hacker can impersonate a person, hopefully this guy would know enough about his mom to do so too. I'm hoping they already tri

As the answers suggest, there's a difference between encrypting everything with the same key, and encrypting between two parties. Arguably, encrypting all snapchat traffic with the exact same key is almost worthless, and they could jus

Pleading guilty doesn't set a legal precedent. If you're talking about piling on charges to make a plea deal look attractive, I'm pretty sure that's been done before.

The article said 4-8 weeks approval time, that has definitely improved (unless Eddy Cue is blocking approval of your ebook app or something)

When I see R&D spending comparisons, I wonder if certain companies are more liberal about what they account as R&D. Every year at work we fill out a survey where we estimate what portion of our time was spent on R&D vs other thi

Yep. Even ones that may not be fully baked, so some people caution against it. We have it turned on, and about 10 warnings specifically disabled because they were too noisy or not useful for us. It's always interesting upgrading Xcode

I found the hitbox so frustrating I took an airplay video of several games and was surprised when instant replay showed a 1 pixel collision between the bird and the pipe, when I thought I was clear. The conspiracist in me wanted to believe

My product does a similar, but not identical thing. We ask the user for feedback (not modally), and if they decide to, we ask whether they like it, neutral, or negative. This is tracked with analytics, so we have an idea what people answer.

Honestly, I view the TAO disclosures as proof that we don't need an internet-wide dragnet. They have so many tools at their disposal for targeted access that I think they should do things the "old fashioned" way: establish

Screenshots with sensitive info are not fine, that screenshot is stored on disk unencrypted. They also often outlive the running instance of the app. This bypasses any protection regularly used by the app for that information, and therefore

Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I expected the example to be just the app's logo. Ie: oh, that's my Dropbox app because instead of the Dropbox UI, I see the big Dropbox logo (Nothing against Dropbox or their app). I also wonde

I looked into Business class, but wasn't willing to sign a 2-3 year contract with Comcast for it. Maybe I'd be happier with business class, but I wish that 2 years from now I'll have a different provider. This article was the

Wrong communication direction. I want the phone to send key presses to the computer. And of course it has been done, although it required a custom kernel: http://cs.gmu.edu/~astavrou/research/acsac10.pdf

I think it's because it's a high profile distributed system. I bet there's a problem that's similar to a toy bitcoin algorithm.

Some coworkers and I put together a Vagrant + Puppet setup for CTF 2: https://github.com/e28eta/stripe-ctf-2.0 I know it's got a couple bugs still, but the first levels should be pretty solid.

I like checking the box in preferences to use Option as Meta, and then option + left/right will jump a word at a time, and option + backspace will delete the previous word, just like in most Cocoa apps.

I was hoping to learn about a Mac vulnerability, not a feature documented by Apple. The Rubber Ducky is interesting though. I wonder if Android apps have the right APIs available such that an app could do the same thing. As long as your bat

Precisely. There's an engineering trade off between processing power, display size, resolution, brightness, and battery life. I don't think battery life has ever been the feature that sells gadgets. I read somewhere that SJ set th

Where's the cable company exec who's willing to admit their industry blows? I think it's refreshing to hear him acknowledge how crappy telecoms are. I think it's even better that they're shaking things up.

I love Ting's 'pay for what you use' model, but their pricing wasn't competitive enough for someone who primarily uses data.

Last I heard (6 months ago), AT&T makes you wait till your contract is up before unlocking, and on the other side Verizon won't let you bring your unlocked phone to their service - forcing you to buy one from them.

After how many years of pocketing the extra money? I feel like T-Mobile is truly disrupting the industry, and I'm voting with my wallet to support them. I can't wait until the other carriers actually start competing with T-Mobile,

I have a feeling if Kevin Igoe truly has the best interests of the group in mind, he would. On the other hand, if his mission is to sabotage their work I think that's much less likely to happen, particularly with Lars' support. I
