'Store' no more in rebranding of Apple retail outlets
Well because Target and Walmart are not the product as well and are officially the names of the stores. I still add the words dealer or dealership after a car brad e.g. Toyota Dealership or Ford Dealer. I guess you could say "I'm going to Toyota" or "I'm going to Ford" but it sounds a lot less formal.rogifan_new said:Makes sense as no one ever says I'm going to the Target Store or Walmart Store. But I think the website should say Apple - The Domain, or Apple, The Domain. That clearly identifies it as the store name, then location.
Most places just differentiate their online presence from their brick and mortar by specifically adding ".com"

FaceTime video chat competitor Google Duo released for iOS, Android
Apple had to change how FaceTime worked after a patent lawsuit. They changed it from being peer to peer to being relayed through a server. Peer to peer would have allowed them to open it up for anyone without having to incur data transport costs. I suspect it being relayed is also the reason why it remains closed.elijahg said:
Apple did promise to open the FaceTime API when it was introduced, but no cigar. Unfortunately a communications platform just doesn't work unless it's cross platform, you can't restrict yourself to only calling iOS device owners! iMessage has automatic fallback so not so much of a problem cross platform.

Hacker who targeted celebrity Apple and Google accounts sentenced six months in prison
Apple's latest implementation of 2 factor authentication is pretty solid. I'm sure there is probably some obscure way to circumvent it but if it were made mandatory, 99.9% of the phishing campaigns would be ineffective. The best way is to not give users a convenient (or any) way to opt out. Making security easier to use makes it more prevalent. I imagine Touch ID alone being so easy to implement and user-friendly actually got people to lock their phones who otherwise would have not even set a pin code. It's probably saved more relationships than people realize. The next step is to make 2 factor the norm and the default authentication method. That way everyone uses it and they don't feel the stigma of being thought to being paranoid of having something to hide.jfc1138 said:Social engineering is close to impossible to stop unless TouchID is the only gateway to anything. .
