I do wonder though that had Apple not predicted this exact scenario ahead of time (likely), how would they control this? It's unlikely they can rely on hardware protections to provide this device locking, so is it the case that they wo

I saw that, and it's fair I guess, but isn't that increasingly the direction hardware is moving industry-wide? (thinner, lighter, sleeker). I was strongly under the impression that other manufacturers' products were becoming

For me, the most interesting question I would have is absent from the article. The court is basically ordering Apple to produce new firmware that doesn't block brute forcing. If Apple were to comply, who keeps this firmware after the

Am I missing something? Can't you just boot Ubuntu on a Macbook if that's what you want to do? (This is a genuine question - I've always found OSX sufferable enough to not need to, and I have a fanless Acer for Ubuntu that tr

Windows 8 was great if you went straight to the desktop and never looked back. There were some terrific upgrades to the classic desktop (even the task manager got real-time graphs and proper hierarchies for the first time). I always pictur

Can confirm that these are real problems (Belfast here). I'd disagree that there's any kind of local bump among Europeans from being in Europe. More often than not, I've found that being based in Europe only serves to put pe

The AOL comparison seems appropriate and is not one I've heard before, good point. I'd argue that this has even darker motivations than AOL ever did though. At least with AOL people had a choice. There were alternatives to living

Good to know for the future, thanks. There's Chocolatey on Windows. The best I can say about it is that.. erm.. their hearts are in the right place.

I'm not a Mac user anymore (keep waiting for my "perfect" macbook to jump back in, which is perpetually six months away), but this is genuinely news to me. Is the Mac App Store really not popular? One of my reasons for wantin

So effectively, in Haskell, it's both and neither. A Float will round, as expected. A double will return the correct value as it, should. Shouldn't the Scientific, if it has arbitrary precision, arrive at the correct value too? Cl

So I have a question. For those that arrive at the right answer, is it by mathematical correctness in the implementation or by rounding down? i.e. Which are right and which are flukey in their wrongness? Under any other circumstance I would

Even by Android standards, this is pretty shocking. Being that this a one-shot exploit that the author believes will work on any Android with the latest Chrome makes it doubly so. I'd also be more concerned that the exploit is describe

I totally agree with you with regards to the language itself sharing similarities with C#, and you make a good point about avoiding all the FFI native calls hassle. I couldn't find a whole lot of independent benchmarks but I'd sus

Just what I was thinking. What problem is this trying to solve? The big draw of React-native is that I can reuse largely the same core code everywhere, and for the parts I can't (mobile UI), I'm at least working in a language that

I'd love to eventually see a low-end Chromebook built around one of these displays. You're already volunteering for a limited experience in exchange for convenience there, and I can see the battery life outweighing the negatives
