You need to explain what you mean by friendly filesystem. As it is, iOS is too complex for a majority of its users. For starters, they don't understand what a file is, they don't understand what a folder+directory is, they don't understand

Metadata is stored inside the image files themselves. You do lose Album sorting and the facial recognition database is trashed if you fish your files out of the Library, but basically all metadata is stored via EXIF and IPTC.

Yes. Not all consumers are alike, and adding even a single button for your file system idea will make it a worse product for 95% of the other customers.

Negatory, good sir. AirPlay's got that covered too. As of late you can do multiple drawable screens and choose which one to chuck down the AirPlay encoding hole, as long as your CPU/GPU can feed both. Microsoft is just making this feature m

Sadly, I'd imagine all those super toys are designed to point at Earth - different design requirements than for looking outwards.

Being that Smartglass is a precise clone of Apple Airplay, I think it needs to be interpreted as a response to Apple capabilities in cross-device media sharing. Airplay is exceedingly simple. There is no prior setup, no sync, no user-visibl

I respectfully disagree. Fully functioning and frequently self-replicating malware does now exist in the wild for the Mac platform. I've seen drive-by website infections, malicious software installs using social attacks, and malicious attac

iOS is not immune - it just has a far less surface area to attack when unmodified. One can still do a driveby attack where a malicious webpage kicks Safari's teeth in and finds a way through the sandbox. (Or replace Safari with 'any app tha

This argument is correct, if a bit theatrical. The existing options aren't bad. #1: Have patience. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405270230437150457740... #2: Deal with the fact that Facebook won and all of your family is on it

This isn't battle-chat, jumping in is called a conversation. :) I do not dispute anything you've said: enrichment is happening, Iran's government is adept at aggressive rhetoric, and Iran would be far better off militarily as a nuclear powe

Let me be clear: there is no evidence whatsoever that Iran has nuclear weapons in its possession. There is no evidence whatsoever that Iran has had an organized nuclear weapons development program for the last nine years. There is some evid

And I heard there's an organization called the IAEA that's unaffiliated with any particular nation-state that's been at the center of this extremely contentious global issue that would agree with exactly what I said, because that's exactly

140kg of uranium was enriched to 20% isotope purity for ostensible use in a medical isotope reactor. That's a civilian purpose. Weaponized uranium requires 85% isotope purity.

It is a stone cold, dead in the ground for a decade, crystalline clear FACT that Iran has no nuclear weapon manufacturing program, and no plausible capacity to engage in one in the near future. Period, full stop, end telegram. Armed with th

Truly, points to the author: he cloaked his loathing well. His concern lies somewhere between misguided and malicious. So to the heart of this issue: What "extremely explicit" "disgusting" "pornographic" "adult content" is he referring to?

So everyone could play by the honor system until someone does something slimy, at which point Apple finds themselves with no ability to rectify the situation beyond ripping out a scammy app and angering any legitimate users. What's the upsi

As I understand it, the opposite polarity isn't a guarantee. The weakened magnetic poles wander for a period of time. Once the magnetic field reasserts itself, the magnetic poles return to the physical poles, and if they're opposite, so be

Fine, you're right. Let me de-hominenize. His claims are alarmist and the word toxic is unsupported by the available science and opens him up to claims of media-seeking hackery. He's probably on the right path in untangling the effects of t

Robert Lustig, despite his considerable bona-fides, is an alarmist who uses hack science and a number of unsupported suppositions to make his (telegenic) points. When you call something like fructose 'toxic', you are doing the public a diss
