    This won't end well.
    It will probably end when word reaches the Judges ear that professors of mathematics at Brazillian universities have composed an open letter pointing out he's an idiot.

  • Brazilian judge orders indefinite block of WhatsApp, affecting millions of users

    Brazillian judge with little to no understanding of physics or cryptography, orders Facebook executive to jump over the moon, generously allowing a 10m runup.  Orders daily fine of $1 M for each day of non-compliance.

    I understand the stock is down... Name one aspect where Apple is at the forefront these days. Maps? A joke, iMessage? Since it isn't compatible with other chat programs (as it used to be with iChat) I can hardly use it anymore, Siri? Well, it doesn't work that well in Dutch, Pro users? Apple lost to offerings from Adobe and HP, iPads? My company (3000 workers) are exchanging them for Windows 10 devices, so is the educational sector with chrome books. IMacs, MacBooks, Mac pro's? Way overpriced and dated hardware... I'm wondering what they're doing these days and wish they would bring as much attention to their products as to their shops and wristbands. China, India? Well, they're offering the same knitted together tech in phones or even better at half the price. Apple is getting lazy and arrogant and they're headed fore a well deserved nosedive. Don't flame me for speaking out what's happening today.
    Apple is at the forefront of profit margin, aspirational pricing, proprietary connectors, lack of connectors and thinness for the sake of thinness

  • Groundbreaking 'atomic memory' could cram unimaginable amounts of data into your iPhone

    Why are you crediting IBM when the research was from Delft University?

    Probably because IBM deserves the credit as they invented the technique and the equipment that makes it possible.  This research is iterative.

    Twenty years ago this week, on Sept. 28, 1989, an IBM physicist, Don Eigler, became the first person to manipulate and position individual atoms. Less than two months later, he arranged 35 Xenon atoms to spell out the letters IBM. Writing those three characters took about 22 hours. Today, the process would take about 15 minutes.

  • Apple Pay expands to France with support for Mastercard and Visa cards

    cnocbuicnocbui
    It's amazing how quickly perceptions change though. Only 3 months ago my customers were paranoid about contactless, and now the majority of transactions are through contactless.

    (FTR I'm not in France, I'm in UK)
    I won't use NFC from a card. I've got rid of all my NFC capable cards. I do however use Apple Pay.
    I've seen the kit needed to 'sniff' your NFC card details and witnessed someone get the details of a card that was in someones pocket just by standing next to them.
    Crowded places are a gift to people with these sniffers. Thankfully they can't get inside the iPhone (yet).
    Fraud is apparently the biggest crime today and I don't want to give them any more help that I have to.


    RFID secure wallet with loads of useful features for travelling.

    Protects against data theft : wallet with integrated read protection. Credit cards, passports and ID cards are increasingly being fitted with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips with personal details that, thanks to radio technology, can be read quickly and without physical contact. Unfortunately, this can also occur when you don t want it to. The Folder Wallet RFID is a safe place to keep debit and ID cards since it incorporates the CRYPTALLOY foil that blocks radio waves and thus prevents any attempts at data theft.

    With the "Cryptalloy" foil, Tatonka uses a film that offers maximum shielding against relevant frequencies (from 100 kHz to 4 GHz; this means low, high and ultrahigh frequency range) and due to a frequency shift disturbs any radio communication. This was tested and certified by the TÜV Saarland.


    I personally don't care as banks these days make good on pretty much all fraud relating to accounts.
