You apparently have selective memory. The 3GS was only at that price WITH CARRIER SUBSIDIES. The actual purchase price was $700 (US) for a 32GB model. (BTW $1000+ adjusted for inflation.) With the subsidies the carrier made you pay the $200+ upf…

I can guess how this is going to go with a company that makes its money on advertisements. We have a vehicle made by GM or any others that thinks Google is a good idea and our dashboard, infotainment, and potential rear entertainment screens start p…

It is not scanning for photos of a mother taking a picture of her child. It is scanning for know photos of child pornography and abuse. Excellent point, but even further than that. It's comparing HASH to HASH not PHOTO to PHOTO of already K…

I use the ExxonMobil app quite regularly. Seeing this is just a mini web version, it will likely work the same way. With the app, if a gas station offers a car wash it shows as an option to select - no pump interaction. The app also asks if you want…

But, I'm not sure it is common knowledge as you say. Yes, we know batteries - before Lithium Ion - often died quickly, but people have gotten used to Lithium Ion now... and in other devices, the batteries are often essentially lifetime (laptops,…

This issue has reminded me of a scene in Star Trek many years ago. Anyone believing this is a simple matter and Apple should just "give in" is incredibly myopic. Privacy is not something one should hand over freely and allow to be trodden on under t…
