"And so it's in the hands of the inventor and the user as to whether it's used for good, or not used for good." NO, NO, and NO! WRONG! It’s none of the inventor’s business if it’s used for good or not! It’s SOLELY the USERs responsibility.

No matter how much “deescalating and explaining” Apple does: it cannot change the fundamental fact, that once the infrastructure is in place, there’s no TECHNICAL limit for what it can be used, but there may be LEGAL limits in Apple’s ability to tel…

The organizations that know how dangerous this is, put pressure on Apple. Bravo! Apple can get out of this: yank out the feature, and implement E2E encryption for all data, including iCloud backups. Apple can say, that they were emotionally swayed…

JWSC said: One wonders how far Apple will go down this path until they finally say No. What’s the threshold? The threshold would only be, if the US passed a law prohibiting Apple censoring. That would force Apple to exit certain markets w…

Yeah, for how long… …Apple cracked the door open, now governments will drive a wedge into the crack.

As much as I like the straight edges on the phone (e.g. to stand it on edge) on a wearable it means shaper corners (e.g. when wearing it for sleep tracking in bed have fun with non-rounded edges), more nicks and wear, as friction and contact is redu…

Who can afford backup at these prices? As mass storage capacities go up, proper backup has become unaffordable. People rely on some levels of redundancy, which can quickly go awry, e.g. as corrupt data is replicated and there’s no backup to fall ba…

Mag stripes have one advantage: I’ve had several cards where chips or NFC circuits got busted, and the stripe still worked. In the old days, if all broke down, there were the raised numbers and letters for carbon-copy credit card transactions, which…

Those people pessimistic about Apple’s future should leave, they would drag the company down with their attitude. Visions don’t grow from pessimism. If visionaries leave, because internal bureaucracy blocks their progress and crushes their dreams,…

The matter is very simple: at any time, the very same system can be extended to anything else, simply by changing/updating the databases; which can happen both as a matter of Apple’s choice or government pressure. A system that can identify child p…

Until they have a different battery chemistry, BEVs are an environmental disaster; FCEVs or combustion engines running on CO2-negative synthetic fuels, or even natural gas (if one takes the CO2 footprint of manufacturing into account), are a much be…

Who gives a damn about the US Constitution? First, the US government keeps twisting and reinterpreting what it means, and… second, and most importantly, the world doesn’t end at the US border, despite the incredible myopic world view of some peopl…

Totally useless: the one thing that needs protection most, the edges and corners, are bare. What a joke
