just more Google junk to spy on you.

Apple acknowledges tracking iMessage metadata and sharing it with law enforcement
Please note that Apple said it doesn't share data related to your location, which would seem to conflict with saving IP addresses.lkrupp said:
Yes, the headline is deliberately implying Apple is lying about its commitment to privacy and security. At least the word “metadata” was included. Other blog sites blatantly imply that Apple is tracking and saving the actual content of the messages and handing them over to the authorities.amarkap said:Yes I agree as well. I see nothing that Apple did wrong here and working with Law enforcement like this when they have a valid subpoena is a good thing. The headline of this article was dubious though but it was designed to make me click it and read it. I mean it could have said "Apple continues to be a responsible company and works with Law Enforcement". Well, you get my drift...current headline makes them seem like that are divulging private information...

New guidelines may push Apple to switch away from SMS for two-factor authentication
Apple offers SMS authentication as an option, and it's the only two-factor authentication option that works if you only own a single Apple product.maestro64 said:TurboPGT said:I'm confused...Apple doesn't use SMS now.
It sends encrypted push notifications to your trusted devices. At least that's how it works for me. Am I missing something?
no you're not, Apple is using imessaging to send the authorization which is encrypted both way. and you can not set up a fake cell phone number to have it sent to another number. This is a google/android issue. Apple solved the problem before others figured it out. But let not forget the government would like our communications less secure. I find it funny NIST as well as DARPA have been working with companies to improve secure communication. and we have the Justice Department and FBI fighting to make it less secure.

Try these iOS grilling apps for your Memorial Day BBQ
Hi,geeks4compassion said:Hmmn. I read AI daily, but given the immense suffering caused to millions of sentient beings every day by the huge "animal agriculture" industry, I'm moved to suggest some alternatives in response to AI's post on "grilling apps":

I would note that these apps typically have options for grilling vegetables (or even fruits) too, if someone is vegan or vegetarian.

Reversing track, Kanye West's full 'Life of Pablo' may come to Apple Music on Friday
Certainly true, but there are still millions of dollars involved, and in the long term you need to retain as many big-name artists as you can to keep people subscribed.linkman said:
While some big names will attract and the lack of those will keep away certain customers, a few big names won't make or break the big companies. Apple didn't have the Beatles signed on until 2010 yet iTunes still did very well and still had plenty of Beatles fans buying music from other artists.Roger_Fingas said:Whether or not we like his music, Kanye West is extremely influential, commercially. Services like Apple Music ride on whether or not they have albums by big-name acts - consider Apple's abrupt decision to back down when Taylor Swift threatened to keep "1989" off Apple Music.
