Do you have data about that or are you assuming you and your friends are representative of the majority of users? It seems like one side of the debate says "I have experienced this, and the product features seem to encourage this behav

This assumes that all Beeper Mini users are spam, and that's a weird take. More charitably, perhaps you are saying spam will increase over previous levels. From what I understand, Apple does not have any spam prevention technologies in

This is interesting. How do you define "invalid" and why can Apple not also detect such invalidity? There's been some talk that blocking this for Beeper will also block this for Hackintosh, but are we just talking about iMess

I could believe losing messages. I cannot believe wrong recipient. One of these is a service reliability issue and the other is an insanely unlikely bug. And what are the chances that the actual recipient ends up being the spouse of your ex

I think this is kinda technically a win for Beeper. I would've expected another 100% lockout to be Apple's priority. They were instead only able to block 5%, which sounds like a heuristic being applied, and possibly not even an in

I imagine they're just trying not to tell the wrong story just because of a tangential change in how developers use these tools, so taking some time to look closely and account for things and provide the necessary context for the repor

As Ars mentions, Google maintains that these apps are not properly checking the context of the autofill. Android's digital asset links is a secure way to verify that an app is associated with a specific web domain. As a password manage

I hope it's better on iOS. On Android, you have 5 tabs at the bottom: Home, Feed, Search, Library and Upgrade. Having Upgrade in the same place that nearly all other apps have a Profile/Settings tab constantly trips me up. I'

To be fair, captive browsers are also a plague on Android apps. I despise them and especially so if there's no way to turn them off in a particular app.

Well that's what they claim. And to be fair, since managing that subscription is entirely in the user's hands in the App Store UI/UX, it sort of makes sense- the user shouldn't have to receive spam to buy a random subscr

Hey I said, "I think", and was ready to accept that there was more to it. Yours was assertive about that being wrong without providing any supporting evidence for your claim. You made me find it instead. Hence the "bad form&q

Well no, my point is if the developers preferred app for billing isn't what you want, you can more easily find another app. Before all of this you had no choice if you didn't like, for instance, giving your credit card information

Well, it does seem like CNBC is the source of the stat and they do not say it like that. One could make an inference since the previous sentences mentioned new cars. I don't think I can find a source that supports your claim that iPhon

Thank you for a source. I do link to my source in the thread in question, and while that law firm was working with Wolfire Games who presumably saw agreements directly from Valve, it's not exactly going to be an unbiased account since

Well, the menu and search were always context-dependent from what I remember (ie, on devices that used on-screen buttons as opposed to hardware buttons, they were only present when the app requested them to). This created a situation where

As sibling commentor pointed out, the default (and standard) way to go back is a back gesture, there is no button to press anymore. The OS teaches you how to do this with an overlay tutorial. My mom, who is 68, was able to figure this out w

Others mention that this is a result of the WGA strike, though apparently the terms of the deal allowed the streaming company's to require an NDA to view the information, so that doesn't explain everything.

That's just how it goes, though. I'm sure if we had music numbers, we'd see well known classics up the charts too. That doesn't mean that viewers don't want new content to watch- likely you would see classics go up
