Advertising is fine, though annoying, IMO. But do you really not have any issue with google or anyone else, perusing your emails and voicemails and photos and online activity and location and times you are at home and away and daily travel patterns …

I've always had a 6 digit passcode, how is this new? If I swipe to login, it brings up a numeric keypad, as long as my passcode is all numbers. What's changed?

"Additionally, the government believes Apple may have encouraged carriers to offer preferential service plan pricing to iPhone customers." That's the part that really gets me and really shows they have no idea what they are talking about. Canadian…

Wristband has provide this for Fitbit (and Jawbone) users for some time now.

Wasn't this reported like a year ago?

I don't see them breaking away from Nuance for a while. Seems like it's just as likely they are working to bolster what they can do on top of nuance. As much as they do try to own their core technologies, and speech definitely is one, I don't think …
