But ... the social imposition! Christ, what a socially awkward penguin the author must be. Here's a tip: You don't need to respond to a message just because someone can see that you've read it. Full stop. Email, SMS/iMes

It is pretty slick! Although I'm pretty sure it happens the same way with FB ... at least for some apps (for instance: Words with Friends)

Thank you for the clarification!

They're not loaded from the server but the sms.db (sqlite) database on your phone. Tools exist to read the database from the phone directly, from backups, etc. Which is great when you accidentally delete them... I wouldn't know

It's a shame iCloud backups aren't encrypted, but the only information that seems newsworthy is the fact that it takes so little to reset an AppleID password. Although I suppose if the intruder knows the AppleID and last-four of

Funny … I've been writing a python script that uses IMAP IDLE to monitor your inbox and encrypt incoming email (while retaining from/subject/date) and delete the plaintext version. Unfortunately sometimes the IDLE errors and

The excuse that "relationships suffer" when using a different communication method is ridiculous. Now more than ever as people use it to justify whatever they want. Face-to-face is better, my relationships suffer when I communicate via phon

"I realize that Tor can't be used on iOS without jailbreaking it" Not quite true. While Tor can't be used for all traffic, there are Tor apps -- OnionBrowser works quite well; I just tried it.

Couldn't have said it better myself; I had the exact same experience. I'll probably never step foot in there again now that they're going back to their ridiculous pricing strategy.

Almost every single 'issue' on this page is nonsensical FUD. 1&2 - Let's not trust Amazon's system but instead just some other random company! 3. Deduplication as an invasion of privacy? Last I checked it didn't work across users (as th

I wish it worked that way on iOS; I'm not sure what Google is doing with the app that prevents it ... other apps+accounts work just fine after restoring from backup.

Nope :/ I've had to do it twice now (once for an upgrade and once for a defective-phone replacement) and both times, after restoring from iCloud, Google Authenticator was empty. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's still a big inconvenience. I

Really? Is it really that different to double tap a hardware button than it is to tap one? You must feel the same way about single-vs-double clicking a mouse then, I suppose ... because it's the exact same thing.

Heh, the author of this article may be exaggerating a bit. The carrier sim can block access to the apn/mms settings; an AT&T sim usually does. I've used the sim-swap trick (with a t-mobile sim) on my iPhone 4S to change the apn without

It's certainly true that Apple even allowing such a thing to happen is broken (the device should reject app updates it can't run). But that something like that could happen still doesn't make the iPad a paperweight. People will happily

What did it do before that it doesn't do now? Did it suddenly stop working; wifi, bluetooth, etc ... dead? Are all the apps suddenly iOS 6 only? No. Stop being so damn dramatic.

Of course! There's no possible way to promote your app other than telling users to search for it in the App Store. If having users stumble upon your app is in your critical path, you have other problems. The search results have always b

In photography, the general population probably just wants to take decent photos quickly. A DSLR, much like rsync, is a an awesome, powerful tool ... but probably not the right tool for non-enthusiasts. It might appeal to shutterbugs but t

Have you ever watched someone organize their own files on disk? Copy files between disks/USB drives? Try to copy a file between two machines (yes, even on Windows)? Or get lost in settings or configuration files? People, typical people, do.

The FourSquare integration is kinda neat, but it seems like the inspection data would be more useful before you go. In Seattle/King County you can look up that info on a website or use the iOS app 'Seattle Inspections' -- http://inspecta
