I think they will follow the updated card style Google designs we've seen in Google Now, Google Keep, etc.

Good job by Mr. Motto. I especially liked the scroll to read intro. Most of the comments on RS about the layout seem positive.

I've commented on how it's less safe - blah blah blah. But I think you're right. This is no bigger deal than the face unlock option in Android, which is coincidentally also very insecure. The difference is, in the case of A

Good point. If it's two or more factors then the weakness of the fingerprint factor is not such a big deal. Is the iPhone 2 factor? I think there is too much of an emphasis on using uniqueness for security. The idea is that if "

I just imagined a world where everyone is carrying around lopped off digits on their keyrings.

Which makes the idea of a fingerprint reader on a phone somewhat nonsensical. Your password is all over the phone, and Mythbusters has proven how easy these are to fake.

The US actually does not know the specific documents that Snowden took, or how much he took, because he was able to bypass their security. This is suspected to be the reason that Miranda was detained in the UK.

Good post. These HR tests favor extroversion and obedience. In my experience, brilliant people are highly unlikely to exhibit these traits. I work with a guy who pounds on his desk daily, curses at code, has OCD, walks about aimlessly, is

It will depend upon how the sale is set up. Anything is theoretically possible, but the biggest obstacles are SEC regulations put in place to protect small 'retail investors' from 'speculative' products.

I don't understand the Australian impulse to push this technology when they are under a very low if not non-existent threat. When I was there I was 'wanded' multiple times.

Firefox had to become successful before Google's payments would make a difference. Google didn't front Mozilla the money to develop a browser.

They use the genie animation to minimize apps, and the full screen button is identical to the one in OSX. If they're not mimicking OSX then why are things like that in there?

Rather than creating laws against the poor, perhaps the millionaires of Palo Alto should try to do something to fix the problem.

Good point. On android the state is written on the slider itself, so that there's no question of what the state is. If it says on it's on, when you slide it the other way it will no doubt be off.
