Yes, *that reddit*. The headline makes it sound as if reddit was complicit in hosting C&C for a botnet. Remember the old bulletin-boards where anyone could put up a post in a section. This is similar. Some nasty perps posted some encrypted mes…

[RIGHT][/RIGHT]I'm sure, once the "Right Incentive" is applied, Apple will drag the retail industry into the **20th** century. Just like they did with the music and mobile phone industries. Right Incentive? Money and convenience driving customers t…

I was asked by a tech-savvy friend of mine what I thought about the stories of "bent iPhones" and how I thought this would hurt Apple sales. My response was to ask, given the 10,000,000 sales of iPhone 6 phones in just the first weekend (which was p…

I look after over 100 macs for various friends, family and acquaintances. The list of Macs I help with has been growing ever since the old Mac "demo days" late last century. I have four macs that exhibited the described hardware problems. I have fi…

So now what we need is a USB device with non-writeable firmware (in ROM) that, when plugged in, will turn on a big red LED if something attempts to rewrite its firmware. Instant malware-spread detector. Other versions could, hopefully, reinject prop…

All the more reason to overturn the whole decision on appeal. This is the judge who said there were unusual mitigating circumstances but would not let those moderate her verdict because, well, (and I paraphrase) not willing to suggest existing la…

How about something simple like using the home-button light when a touch-id input is expected?

How about a compromise. Put **both** CPUs in a Mac. Allow per-process choice of which CPU is applied. No cut-over issues. No Bootcamp issues. Just a nano-kernel for device contention and a boat-load of RAM. Multi-core, Multi-CPU next gen ARM OSX *a…

[quote]The drop was blamed on slowing high-end smartphone and *flat screen* sales. [/quote] Perhaps Samsung will fix this by copying Apple and release some rounded screen phones :-)

Thank you, once again, for a well researched, thoughtful, and well presented article. From my perspective the 5c was Apple's response to the popular clamour for an iPhone that could compete with low-end smart phones. Successful execution of a low-e…

Interesting article. I too did not know how prominent Sun was in the mobile field. I cannot wait to see what Tizen does to Google's advertising revenue base. If Google does not diversify its income to be less dependent on Android deployment, its co…

On a related note, would somebody please enlighten me as I am genuinely interested in the following... A number of times now, when I have described to friends how I prefer iOS over Android for its ecosystem, consistency across apps, ease of use, s…

No biggie. Just ask the NSA for a copy of your deleted mail!

This could be very useful to those AT&T customers who notice that, despite having a wireless intranet, their phones use cellular cloud services (of some kind) during some nightly activity. Seems to be a problem that when the phone is asleep and …
