WTF? I'd never ever use a phone to unlock my car. Unlike RFID, NFC needs a working battery plus if they do it right (and I'd certainly hope so because otherwise there'd be a huge penalty with the insurances) it'll need Touch ID so unlike Keyless Go …

"the Wi-Fi-enabled LED bulbs" The trick is: Hue is not using the crappy Wi-Fi but ZigBee.

LMAO. A regular developer could just enter through the lobby, get a badge from security and wander around in a few areas even unescorted but the press cannot. I've been there twice about 14 years ago and never faced any harsh restrictions.

Quote: It's the same model, they all have two GPUs. If you never used the dedicated GPU much, it might not fail because it would be using the HD 3000 most of the time. The 6750M only gets used for certain GPU-accelerated tasks. True, but doesn't m…

Quote: It isn't Apple failure, but rather the GPU manufactures that design and run chips right at the limits of the process technology. GPUs just are not reliable. Think about it a bit, why did Apple under clock the GPUs in the new Mac Pro? I'm w…

Quote: I never said there is an obligation, of course there isn't. Any smartphone with radio chipset can do this. However, no sellers can legally say it can work on specific network without that specific agreement/certification process. If the car…

Quote: Do you find a parallel with carriers charging for txt/sms messages? It is my understanding that they are delivered within the unused space of the handshake packets which mobile phones must send and receive to maintain contact with cell towe…

Quote: Actually, yes it is up to Apple if they wish their devices to be usable on those networks. The carriers have strict requirements that Apple and any other manufacturers with cellular components must follow before they're allowed in the netwo…

Quote: Hardly. Apple is fulfilling their contractual obligation. Contract with whom? An unlocked phone is an unlocked phone, there're no contracts with every operator in the world (which would be tens of thousands).
-
It's not a made up term. Originally the phone had to be wired (tethered) to a device. Then came wireless tethering, now we just leave the wireless part is left out The modem is separate from the main CPU that does the higher level network processi…

Quote: How dare they follow the law! How DARE they make you keep agreeing to the terms to which you legally agreed! ... Either Apple blocks disallowed tethering and gets morons whining after them for “restriction of functionality” or Apple doe…

Quote: I don't know what country you're in, prof, but in the USA a contract is a contract, and it includes the fine print (Terms of Service). Which in the case of at least StraightTalk, expressly forbids tethering (despite the advertised "unlimit…

That's completely bogus. There's no legal way some operator can forbid tethering via fineprint, if you pay for a regular data service you may use it in any way. If in doubt buy a MiFi device... It's really painful to see Apple participate in such sh…

It'd be interesting to learn which applications actually really use the Security.framework where the bug resides it, besides Safari that is. It's probably not even that critical on OSX compared to iOS (where there's little choice) since most applic…

Sorry about the double post. For some reason my posts don't show up on the main page.

In case you're not aware: Quicksilver is quite alive again and IMHO a whole lot better than Alfred plus you can't beat free...

You do know Quicksilver is quite alive again? And IMHO it's much better than Alfred and free..
