  • Another alleged 'iPhone 8' schematic shows Touch ID home button on back of device, vertica...

    Samsung 8 reviews are coming out.  Negative comments by most of the reviewers are about the fingerprint sensor on the back.  I don't think Apple will put Touch ID on the back of the phone.

  • Hyundai upgrades older Azera, Sonata & Veloster models with Apple CarPlay

    touruntourun
    I've been using Apple CarPlay in my Hyundai all summer going on many long trips.  I love the maps feature.  I have the expensive built-in navigation in two of my vehicles,  but the CarPlay maps are much easier to use and so much quicker to input addresses.  Plus updating maps on my iPhone is free, but to update the maps in the built-in navigation costs almost $200.  I'll never pay for the expensive built-in navigation again when I purchase a car.  I give CarPlay five out of five stars.

  • Donald Trump, who called for a boycott of Apple, reveals he owns over $1M in company stock

    Recently, Trump called Clinton a liar, and Clinton called Trump a liar.

    It is the only truthful thing either of them has said during the past year   :)

  • User security, privacy issues draw sharp contrast between Apple iOS, Google Android in FBI encrypti

    touruntourun
    There are at least a dozen individuals and/or organizations that can "brute force" a device or system better than the FBI or CIA.  So Apple, stick to your guns.  Oh, I hope I don't get arrested for using that word.

  • Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton says Apple's Tim Cook 'omitted critical facts' in encryption stance

    touruntourun
    AppleInsider said:
    In a statement issued on Monday, U.S. Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, criticized Tim Cook for his defense of strong encryption during a 60 Minutes interview, claiming that the Apple CEO had "omitted critical facts."




    "As a society, we don't allow phone companies to design their systems to avoid lawful, court-ordered searches," Cotton said in the statement. "If we apply a different legal standard to companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook, we can expect them to become the preferred messaging services of child pornographers, drug traffickers, and terrorists alike -- which neither these companies nor law enforcement want."

    During the 60 Minutes piece, Cook argued against government-mandated backdoors in encryption. The executive maintained a long-held position that if Apple coded deliberate holes for U.S. law enforcement and spy agencies, those holes could also be exploited by malicious hackers, including governments wanting to use the Internet against their own citizens.

    Apple and other corporations have come under increasing fire from U.S. government officials concerned they will no longer be able to intercept communications from criminals or terrorists. The encryption present in iOS 8 and 9, for instance, is so strong that Apple says it can't break it, even when served with a warrant.

    One of the most vocal critics of Apple's policy has been FBI director James Comey. His efforts suffered a setback when the Obama administration decided not to force decryption, although during an October hearing, Comey said that talks with corporations had become "increasingly productive" and less venomous.
    Ya, like we can trust our Government.  They've shown time and time again they can't be trusted.  You get people with this kind of power and they let it go to their heads.  Time and time again government sites get hacked.  Look at the Health Care site, look what Hillary did with government data.   I don't trust government officials, Dems or Reps with having a back door into my data and I especially don't trust FBI or CIA.  If they get a back door into my data so will the bad guys which some of them are bad guys  I trust Tim Cook much more.  Apple has shown time and time again that they can be trusted and as Tim Cook stated they don't have our data.  Apple can't get to our data.   The people of America need to speak against what government officials want.
