   I learned something interesting about NFC recently that I hadn't considered before: for all the wallet kind of applications, where the phone acts like a VISA/Msatercard/etc credit card there has to be a trusted module that takes care of the

   There are also a number of other tests in the article, this page just happened to be the first hit when I searched for it. Overall improvements are around 2x.

   My iPhone 4 feels faster (no benchmarks, maybe it's just the reboot) with iOS6, and I like the shared photo streams. Battery life seems to be largely the same.

   Btw, did anyone else notice that Apple credits OSM contributors for map data in the new Maps? They seem to be merging a whole lot of different sources into that database.

   Ah, I misread your question. According to their notes, "Rather than a single touchscreen controller, Apple went with a multi-chip solution to handle the larger screen size, à la iPad.". But I'd guess that it's not (just) the size that makes

    The charger has a normal USB-A female connecter, so you can connect any USB cable that will fit in a computer to it. So the charger itself isn't limited to Lightning, but can be used with a USBA->microUSB cable. Also see http://ec.euro

    tl;dr: apple force-enabled user password recovery using appleid in mountain lion, meaning they can apparently also change your filevault2 passphrase and decrypt your disk. Not quite; it's more like "If you've enabled the Reset Password Vi
