What if you have the legal right to not give up your password to your phone? Now, instead of waiting around for lawyers, your finger will be physically forced onto the home button.

Instead of debating your legal right to keep your password secret... now someone can grab your hand and force your finger onto the home button!

What they didn't mention is that it's stored in the L2 cache ;-)

How much kool-aid have you been drinking?!

Apple are hoping that journalists are lazy or rushing to meet a deadline, so they get headlines line "New iPhone is 40x faster than old iPhone!". They could have put "2x faster than iPhone 5" in their slides, but they de

What happens if you injure your finger in an accident? Or the sensor has a hardware failure?

This is a marketing nightmare in the making... it's only a matter of time before the phone is jailbroken and the biometric data made accessible.

The problem I see is that if the public donate several times to projects which don't work out, by the time the true domain experts get around to setting up a Kickstarter, the public are already tapped out.

You're right that this is relatively new so we don't know how things will pan out. For example, will third party contributors be discouraged from helping if they don't get some form of compensation?

by yapcguy 13y ago
Why do you need Kickstarter for this? Why don't you build it first and if it gets popular then ask for donations? What about the open source projects you're building on top of? Are you going to give any of those programmers some

Sure, that's what Apple says too, but look at the news today. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/sep/05/workers-ri... You say you spent 2.5 years setting up a supply chain, but did you exami

Ditto. Look at Charles Tyrwhtt, they're in London, they ship custom shirts to anywhere in the world and you can return for any reason. http://www.CTShirts.com

Yawn. Plenty of companies already sell custom shirts online. What's the big deal about Vastrm? What's revolutionary? Also, what's the big deal about Warby Parker? Just slick marketing and creation of a brand, but the same

Good decision. It's quite a pathetic situation when Mac developers have to resort to filing bug reports, yes bug reports, to try and address the issue of upgrade pricing. https://twitter.com/danielpunkass/status&#x

Yep, it's a double-edged sword. The App Store may offer things like the iCloud SDK but will restrict apps from using features that compete with Apples own apps, as well as any cool hacks which apps outside the App Store are free to mak

"We are not allowed to distribute updates through other channels to apps which were purchased from the App Store." The solution is simple. All Mac developers should stop selling through the App Store, regain control of the distr

Are there any health issues with having an active bluetooth device next to your privates, and another one strapped to your wrist? I don't think there is any research which says wearing a bluetooth headset everyday is bad for you, but b

Bingo! If they do a Google they will claim that UK transactions are really Irish transactions and pay tax in Ireland. If they do an Apple they will claim that their Irish company owes vast technology licensing fees to a company in Bermuda.

The question should be: for how much longer will people be able to pay a premium? Yes, there is a market for luxury transport, but is this really a high growth market? How many more young and overpaid software engineers can there be? Look
