I also use Siri all the time, and my usage is only increasing as I learn the spoken instruction set, and Apple improves the same. I've even found myself thinking 'Siri, where's my phone?' when I can't locate it in m

"Does the entire company believe in this technology?" Huh? Apple isn't a bunch of fiefdoms with competing and disparate product silos. Apple as a whole is completely behind this technology, and the fact that you don't un

You're not alone! It's got a lovely ring to it. I've been using iPhones since the day they came out, but have been seriously considering getting the Lumia with the awesome camera. I'm not going to buy a Microsoft phone t

No. Phones (or watches) as access points to 'your digital life', even if managed on tablets/laptops/desktops, are the digital wallet in your pocket.

No shit... it almost reads like a hit-piece on MelbourneIT (damning with faint praise). But at least they rode in with some knights from the mighty Google and OpenDNS to patch some caching issues and release a State of the Domains address.

I agree. I think these ads are targeted at existing users. They're in part, an effort to reduce dissonance. "Cognitive dissonance can occur across multiple product lines as well as a competitor's products. Advertising and pro

To be fair, the Indie has been completely missing from the conversation so far. Understandable that they want in. Despicable, if they're using 'undisclosed sources' who are the UK spy services though.

"The relationship between Japanese governments and corporations is much more incestuous than their Western counterparts" On a scale of 1 to [citation needed], guess where the answer lies.

Perhaps via Zip drives? Oh that's right... flash storage is smaller than the rivets in my jeans nowadays. Will my denim jeans be confiscated next time I pass through a checkpoint? I like my jeans (and the privacy they afford my genital

Let me try and phrase this in terms that aren't loaded such as 'slippery slope' or rhetorical geometry. I believe in the importance of a free press, and recent developments are troubling and lead to understandable concerns ab

Even better, would be to have them report favourably or obtusely instead of shutting them down. I fail to see the hyperbole here... just a difference of method.

That 'trusted' privacy policy link in the footer of nearly all commercial websites? That's backed up by legislation that makes it about 'privacy' protection, yeah?

It's no more egregious than Google trying to show G+ down our throats. They've become the masters of persistent headers. Yahoo! is trying to the same.

Yeah, I get that... it's more of a UX failure (in light of this post) in that it suggests your password is ••••• when it's really *, but I guess that was factored into the UX considerations.

Not that I think that geopolitical happenstance is affected by solar magnetism, but I'm getting a bit fed up with the 'correlation is not causation' police. No it's not, but nor is it a blanket reason not to investigate

..and if it's this trivial to look at a password, why bother with [••••••• ] when auto-filling password fields. It's misleading.

>The master password question for showing individual passwords in the Keychain.app does not protect your passwords. That's insane too then! as it suggests/teaches that keychain passwords are master password protected.

To those saying this isn't insane... you are wrong. I can open anyone's chrome browser and access their passwords without a master password? That's plain fucked up. (I realise I could visit sites and use password reset, but t

The intent is 'your email will be marked as read / archived' not really "deleted". It's not possible to delete email. The NSA has it for one.
