When did they disregard anything involving laws about backdoors? As far as I know, there are no laws on the books in the US yet that say you have to provide a backdoor into your product. I could be wrong though. If you’re taking about the c

To me, it feels as if “just following orders” is a different order of magnitude than disregarding a country’s rules and laws. They might be the same broad concept, but I think it’s a much larger conversation than just following orders. I do

I feel like that would solve the problem that GP was referencing but just create a whole bunch of other issues for users and developers. "Find Spotify on [list of ten app stores here]." One of the advantages for users and develope

> Vendors should be prevented from shipping an App Store with their OS. So then how would a novice user get apps the first time they boot up their phone? They would have to know where to get apps from. That seems like an easy way for use

This was my first thought. I work in video production and we always carry around extra SD cards because our camera chews through them so fast. We use Sony FS5s and they can fill a 128 GB card in an hour with 4K video.

My understanding is that Apple pairs the individual hard drive in any given unit with the "Secure Enclave" that they use for TouchID within the same unit. So they are paired and one cannot be replaced without also replacing the ot

I have tried (and failed) to use the cancellation system once. My wife and I went to see a movie, it was sold out, so we cancelled our reservation and tried for a different showing. It wouldn’t work. It said we had both used our tickets for

For the headphone jack, I'd argue that different use cases for laptop and phones mean removing the headphone jack on one and leaving it on the other is justifiable. The other things you mentioned are definitely annoyances I run into oc

I wonder how legacy apps will look? I'm assuming it will work the same was as iOS 6 apps do on iOS 7, where they just run the same as they did before and look like older apps. That's going to be a confusing transition. Although it

I read it as 2010 being the baseline for both, with "since the recession" meaning 2010. But it's fairly ambiguous. It could mean any number of things. It could also be that the numbers for the Otto Group aren't public fo

You might be right about the overall move toward giving away music, but in this case, it's because they simply cannot get their music released digitally due to rights/sampling issues. Giving it away sidesteps the issue, gives them

It's not anything like Lytro, though. From what the article says, it just takes images rapidly and then you choose the one that's most in focus. Still, being able to focus faster and snap rapid images is a good thing. It makes get
