What happens if the iPhone shuts down because the battery runs out of power? In this case, is the NoReboot code still present in the compromised background processes and is the malicious code which installed it (or any other malicious code) still present?

Why doesn't Apple help a privacy advocate such as the duckduckgo organization and let them supply the search engine? Apple doesn't need the revenue stream at this point. Wouldn't that partner be more in line with Apple's current privacy stance? Or maybe you have to be in the "Big Tech" fraternity to be considered, or maybe duckduckgo is unable to scale to accommodate such volume for what ever reason...

Except for the FACT that duckduckgo is a useless piece of crap that can’t find anything. I know, I’ve tried using it several times and always had to return to Google to get what I was looking for. Google Search may have privacy problems but it is the best algorithm out there, period.

Must be user error - I’ve been using DDG almost exclusively for 2 years. Really don’t miss google

I also find DuckDuckGo meets my needs for search. Maybe others do not find it satisfactory because it's not as effective at converting vaguely worded queries into what the user wants. But that's just speculation; since I don't use Google I can't comment on whether it might be a "better" search engine.

Time for a new CEO at Apple. The things described here suggests the present one no longer connects to the people inside Apple and the handling of the CSAM stuff suggests he no longer understands the world outside Apple.

This is redesign is not very good. Here are two things I immediately noticed..

1. When I look at it in full screen with Safari on my 27 inch iMac there is an empty space of about a quarter of the screen width on the left hand side. This gets filled up when I click on the arrow at the right, but only for the row I click on.

2. When my pointer is in line with one of the rows of clickable links which extends off the screen the mouse wheel does not scroll the page. It doesn't have to be over one of the links - it can be on the blank area at the left. Once I move the pointer away from the row, scrolling with the wheel works again until the it arrives in line with another raw.

I see a lack of adequate testing here. A policy of "it works on my computer so it must be OK". Similar to "it compiled so it must work" in computer programming.

I've had diabetes for 56 years and have dreamt of this for a long time. A non-invasive blood glucose monitor was announced as CES this year by Quantum Operation. I hope these reports relating to multiple companies mean it will really happen soon.
