  • US lawmakers attack Apple for song takedowns in Chinese government censorship effort

    A bunch of hypocritical lying Republicans, pretending to care about the constitution. I assume that their main issue is they haven't received any lobbying money from Apple
    Lol.  OK.  But do the “lying Republicans” have a point here?

  • WPA3 Wi-Fi still saddled with security flaws, researchers claim [u]

    THE primary rule remains:   "If they want in bad enough, they will.   The trick is to make it hard enough that they go after your neighbor instead."
    ...  That's sort of a take off on the joke that you don't have to outrun the bear, just your friend.

    Too often it seems we think we can rely on having big locks (aka "13 character passwords") on things.   But, often better is:
    1)  Security through obscurity
    2)  Immediate notification (such as when a sign on is attempted or a new device connected or especially if there is an invalid attempt.)

    For myself, I keep MAC authorization enabled so that, if I don't know your MAC address, you aren't getting in.
    Your primary rule is flawed.  The concept of “more secure than your neighbor” assumes the attacker is searching for the lowest hanging fruit.  

    If the attacker is specifically targeting YOU for some reason (see: every celebrity hack ever), then simply trying to be more secure than your neighbor may be a pretty low bar.

    This really is a rather dramatic and head scratching conflict.  At virtually every media event, Cook almost breaks into tears as he dramatically professes Apple’s core values around the right to privacy.  He goes so far as to fight the US government to access someone’s personal device.  

    And yet, in China, a communist nation that oppresses individual rights, including privacy, Cook is more than willing to sway to the will of the oppressive government.  

    I like Apple products, but I don’t want to hear about Apple’s values.   If they’re not universally applied, they’re not values.  They’re sales tactics.
    So you propose Apple to get out of China market? How does that benefit Chinese consumers?
    I don’t care what they do...but they can’t have it both ways.  Values “at the core of Apple,” and sway to the whim of communist governments.

  • YouTube TV hikes monthly fee to $55 to cover Apple App Store fees, Discovery programming

    Pretty neat little scam these companies (Netflix, Hulu...even Prime) have going.  Skinny packages that convince you to “cut cable,” but randomly jack up prices.  

    At least with directv (and most cable companies), they lock you in at a nice rate for two years, and you know exactly when it’s going up.
