Now have a look at the touchscreen UI itself, it borrows heavily from blackberry style bottom bar. The video was uploaded on Nov 11, 2007....iPhone released in June 2007. (Let's keep aside the fact that Eric Schmidt sat on Apple's

Good old jingoism ... and nepotism towards his friends, Kurzweil. People like Gruber and Wadhwa should not hold so much sway with normal masses. Just read these two sentences. "Google already reads my emails before I do, and, by analyz

So only punishment for the fraud (of masking the country of origin, adulterating honey with banned antibiotics, rice molasses and such) was one year of jail for two executives, who were declared rogue by the company after their arrest. How

NO. Teary eyed. :( 3.7 million phone sales are nothing. Only if they had copied iOS the Samsung way in time.

Astounding amount of cribbing, when they do explain the 30% advantage here: "On Windows 7, IE11 Release Preview is 9% faster than IE10, which is a 5% improvement from the IE11 Developer Preview, and over 30% faster than the nearest com

True. Food can be managed by rationing and not indulging in pleasures, the problem exists beyond food. Unexpected illness, getting from one place to another by public transport, not tending to an illness, thinking about passing out on a bar

I myself understood the problem with Afforess's reply. You are explicitly pinning the value in the envelopes, but remember the other envelope has either half or double of the value than the one in your hand, and this is the crux of thi

Set design spec sheet allows developers to target their games more appropriately. Engines like Unity come in, drive more innovation. Low price point compared to a PC, and no additional hassle of making sure drivers are compatible etc.

This piece hits the right spot for a very wide demographic. He evokes trust through previous collaboration during WW2, mentions cold war, pope and increasing trust between nations and then goes on to evoke empathy from the people using &quo

Tom states about monetary compensation, "Even if this vulnerability doesn’t qualify for a reward, I strongly believe that it should be fixed promptly to protect end users." But then you guys are experienced, so maybe know more abo

And what about Google's dismissive attitude here? The same attitude that Tavis got fed up of. The motive was to highlight just that. Tavis bashed MS because he was riled up by their attitude, because maybe culture at Google was differe

Thank you for this information. Forgot that capacitance varies and depends on variety of factors. I was speculating about the steel ring.

True. It should be sub-dermal, but I do not know the workings of sensor and epidermal was mentioned on Apple's slide.

Iphone will be out soon, pretty sure hacking/fooling fingerprint sensor is top priority for lot of people. So we will see if this common methods works on not.

by iamshs 13y ago
The sensor is epi-dermal, which means reads underneath the skin, so it does not solely rely on seeing the prints. There is a steel ring, which probably senses capacitance. Will there be exploits? Probably. Are Apple engineers incompetent to

The point of that image is to get eyeballs, Nokia sharing some mindspace with Iphone. Besides Nokia did it with polycarbonate.

Then go the normal way of entering password. It still works.

It is sub-epidermal, so maybe it is really more complex then just pressing photocopy of a fingerprint in front. Also, I think the steel ring around the button detects capacitance. Pretty sure, these cases have been evaluated by their engine
