  • Man jailed for not unlocking iPhone adds fuel to device search warrant debate

    larryjwlarryjw
    The issue with the warrants for unlocked digital devices is that though the issuance of a warrant requires the judge to be convinced there is probable cause that the device had information on it that would aid in the present case, the digital device contains vast information, not related to the initial arrest, which would allow police too broad access to a person's and their contacts' information and communication.

    Legally issued and executed warrants are expected to be limited in scope, and not open-ended. That is not the case with accessing digital devices.

  • Review: Brydge Pro Keyboard for iPad Pro beats Apple's offering in nearly every way

    larryjwlarryjw
    There are other factors that break it for me, but one is the capability to secure the new Apple Pencil. Having the Apple Pencil hang out on the edge without securing it somehow is a deal breaker.

    So far, I've seen no keyboard or case for the iPad Pro which does that.

    This has Donald's cheese-burger-greasy finger all over it.

    He kills any good will with China and Taiwan (where Foxconn is located) and deals are aborted.

    I hope Trumpers take note. He is killing the Earth, and is a deal-breaker, not deal-maker.

    China is out to destroy us, maybe not military (but may so) but for sure economically. China shows us no good will that doesn't benefit them 10x more. China is our enemy and they are truly the ones killing the earth. It amazes me when Americans put China above the US just to spite Trump.
    China is a natural economic competitor going back thousands of years. Since the 1970s China has gotten their act together & the rest of the world has to deal with it. 
    As for Trump & this failure in Wisconsin, he oversold his negotiating & management skills with this project (which is typical Trump boasting going back to the election).
    Fact is in the 1990s Trump had a very poor track record in keeping his businesses going.  
    I’m certainly not putting China over Trump but what I think this failure with Foxconn shows is that Trump is not the economic miracle worker he claimed to be. 
    I'm talking today, not thousands of years ago. China steals our technology, steals our IP, manipulates their currency so they remain an exporting economy and not an importing one. China keeps their factories running non-stop, regardless of demand, and dumps the product on world markets, violating signed trade deals. China is considered a 3rd world economy in regards to the WTO. China is not our friend. Putting China ahead of us to spite Trump is foolish and wrong.

    Manufacturing is trickling back to the US. Unemployment is at a 50 yr low. Minority unemployment is at an all time low. Stock market is up nearly 50%. Unfair trade deals are being renegotiated. Wages are going up. Miracle worker? I don't know, but things are looking pretty good to me. But, let's concentrate just on Foxconn.
    It might be true, but don't bet on it. Putting China in perspective, in the 1800's and into the early 1900's the US was violating IP (patent, copyright) laws at will. We stole everything that wasn't tied down. Not until the US starting producing literature and inventing stuff did the US then find an interest in having international patent and copyright laws enforced.

  • Intel exits 5G smartphone modem business on heels of Apple-Qualcomm settlement

    larryjwlarryjw
    Well, Intel is only canning the 5G modem side. They’re still in the 5G industry.

    Part of the negotiated agreement is Apple will delay building their own 5G chip, redirect some of those employees to other projects, QCOM agreed to Apple demand to give Apple first dibs. 

    Apple will also contract with Huawei to use their 5G modems in iPhones destined for China, else China will not allow Apple to sell their devices there.

  • Facebook faces criminal investigation over data sharing deals

    larryjwlarryjw
    Security is hard. Allowing users control of their information is required. 

    Tim Berners-Lee is heading up the SOLID project (Socially Linked Data) which promises users control of their data and more functionality than is currently available. Could this project offer a solution?
