No, pictures sent using iMessage are uploaded directly to Microsoft Azure when using a true iOS device. http://i.imgur.com/W3QitN6.png

Airplay stuff never talked to Apple's servers though, this does.

That's crazy. The protocol for iMessage is so complicated that I gave up very quickly after getting IP banned many, many times, it's an incredibly sensitive service to things like this. At the time I just wanted to be able to chec

The animations are the worst bit by far. I'm constantly hitting the end of them and having my touches ignored.

That's probably straying a bit too far. In reality the person is likely completely aware that they obsessive compulsive, faking otherwise is just a little unkind.

There's a better reason. Touch doesn't work for a vertical screen at all, it makes your arms hurt.

They can't unless there's a vulnerability in Gmail that they're exploiting, and that wouldn't go down at all well.

You missed the point. Yes you can receive many small payments, but to spend them again will cost me almost as much again in fees. Combining lots of small inputs is not efficient.

Would be pretty easy to test. Make an account with an email address pointed at a server you own, tail the logs and wait for the inevitable HELO from LinkedIn with the same credentials. Busted.

Haven't had an issue with it thus far. It's very good on iOS, and running on a few different devices I've got lying around.

The Cubie eeks out the Hackberry in the latest revision, if you're interested in CPU power. Allwinner A20 rather than A10.

If you are interested in the BeagleBone also check out the Cubieboard. It's a more powerful Pi, essentially. Dual core, 1GB of RAM, SATA. http://cubieboard.org/

I was referring to this, it looks a lot worse on devices with a longer screen — http://i.imgur.com/8kjaGQ6.png

It's another bit of the UI that has been shoved into being "flat", but the metaphor is just lost. If you hadn't seen the iOS6 one it makes absolutely no sense now. For more of this, see the Clock app with it's ridic

Just because it's open source doesn't mean a backdoor exists. Take a look at some of the Underhanded C Contest entrants, some of them are so perfectly evil, and plausibly deniable to boot. http://underhanded.xcott.com&#

iOS7 is released, not a beta.

Anecdotedly, I interact with scores of iPhone users every week and not once have I ever heard a complaint about the screen size, even when prompted.

I think I'd have stuck around if their interfaces weren't so awful. There were literally 5 different control panels I could use, it took me a support ticket to actually find where my server was residing (only in a single control p

I'd make a comment about how I was trying to keep my data in my own country, but I'm not, Australia is happily going along with PRISM. It's not even reported in the news here.

> you have to submit a bad email/password combo 3 times before it gives in and lets you setup a local account. Ike. That's horrible. Who in the world thought that hiding a standard user account would be a good idea?

In a completely unrelated area, you just saved me a pile of effort and time with that tape trick. Kudos.

Minor niggle, the slide to unlock is a little off. It's neat and all, but the font and size of the slider look strange.

For even more fun, JavaScript can use unicode characters as variable names, provided the first is alphanumeric. I'll let you use your imagination with that one.

You can also boot an iPhone in WTF mode, though I'm not entirely sure anybody outside of Apple knows what it does. http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/WTF

If Apple sold it as an operating system, they'd have to deal with a nightmare of drivers. As it stands one disk can cover almost every Mac ever made, and they're content with that.

There's been balmy little bits of stuff like this all the way through OSX and iOS for ages, though maybe not quite as flippant. Every Mac has the kernel extension "Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext" for example, which loads into RAM a

There's GST in Australia rather than VAT (10% vs 17.5%), and last year the prices were almost at parity.
