    Yes, the guarantee & backing is EBay's not PayPal's.   But EBay works through PayPal.  If you use a credit card (which is essentially what ApplePay is), you do not get that protection.
    How do you use a credit card on eBay without PayPal? The last time I did that was before eBay bought PayPal. Those were risky days back then, before we even had user names.

  • Apple looking to deploy 1Password company-wide, company buy-out denied [u]

    I agree that 1Password is much more than a simple password manager - I have been using it for a long time.
    However, the iOS keychain is now much more convenient than 1Password as a single user password manager.
    I have several apps/web sites that prompt me regularly for a password. With keychain, I can unlock the keychain quickly with touch id, then keychain enters them directly from the "keyboard" - the suggestions seem always correct and match up with the app/website.
    With 1Password I would be switching back and forth to the 1Password app to get the username and password.
    Your experience seems to be tied exclusively to iOS. 1Password is cross-platform, keeping your passwords for use on any device, whether Mac, PC, Android, etc. On Macs, 1Password would be more aggressive in filling in user names and passwords than either the browser autofill or the keychain. Some websites mask the fields so the latter options won't see them so they can't be stored or autofilled.

    I was a 1Password user a long time ago. Dropped it when they started storing the passwords in the cloud. It may not be as convenient as it's not shared among all devices, but I preferred having my passwords physically on my hard drive. Call me paranoid.

  • Siri heckles UK defense secretary in parliamentary debate

    With Siri processing untold millions of queries every day, I wonder how much longer it'll be before she becomes self-aware and decides humanity is much too irrational, thus needing to be exterminated. I wouldn't blame her for launching the nukes.

  • Apple's work towards waterproof iPhones continues with new sealing technology

    charlesatlascharlesatlas
    With the elimination of the headphone jack, the rise of Bluetooth headphones and the introduction of wireless charging followed by the imminent deletion of the Lightning jack, what port remains that needs to be waterproofed?

    Or in my case, the new Photos app will attempt to predict what the user is interested in and more often than not get it wrong. It will also attempt to predict how the user wants to tag, organize, and search for photos, and more often than not get it wrong.
    You got that right. I hate how Photos organizes my photos. Detest it enough that I don't even use it to organize. I use MyPics and grab any shots from Photos as soon as possible before deleting them from the latter. I wouldn't want my Mac deciding how I want my files organized and I don't want Photos doing the same with my pictures.
