Unfortunately, Apple's decision to set Flash as disabled by default has an unintended consequence. HTML5 allows - and Safari enables - an autoplay option on videos. Other browsers such as Chrome and Firefox allow the user to set this to disabled. Websites (I'm looking at you, CNN) are defaulting all videos to autoplay to drive up their traffic numbers.

Previously, you could trick the site to use Flash but then use ClickToFlash etc to not autoplay the videos.

To All,

It defeats the purpose of me putting certain misogynistic racists in this forum on my ignore list if you reply and quote them in your posts. Please stop.

And to all of you criticizing Trump for having empty phrases without any substance as his answers during the debate, you just don't get it. His plans are a SECRET! Plan to defeat ISIS? Secret. How he will make Mexico pay for a wall? Secret. Economic plan? Secret. Way to restore the show Law & Order? Secret. Tax returns? SECRET!

So just be quiet and vote for him! He's smart! Just look how well he knows the US tax code!

What I find interesting is that Apple did not promote any new security features in the A10 or iOS 10. Unlikely that new features don't exist, just that Apple is keeping them close to the vest. It's doubtful that something new wasn't introduced.

I'd like to see Weekend 2 numbers. Tons of Jet Black being shipped this week that will be activated (including mine, which arrives Wed or Thu!).


(Off-topic: I had something weird happen for the first time ever, with an Apple product shipment. I took advantage of the ATT promo to return my son's 6 for a free 7. The Fedex 'delivery' arrived last Friday, but there was a peculiar note from the delivery guy: it said, "go to the Fedex office to pick it up". I did, the person at the Fedex office brought over my box: it was opened..... with no phone inside! I was told that "...it probably fell off." I've been wasting time with ATT and Fedex these past couple of days, and finally they told me that a new one will be on its way in "7-10 days.")

Someone stole it. You should sue the pants off them for handing you an open box.

You can't sue them because you never signed and therefore never took receipt. It's up to either AT&T or Apple, whoever shipped it, to make an insurance claim for the lost item. It's about when ownership changes hands. Trust me, you prefer it this way. Otherwise every time somebody ships you something it will have been considered that you took receipt at the time they shipped it.

I just read her email to Tim Cook. She's a bit too sensitive. Not feeling safe at Apple because of the quotes from a song is a bit much. When did we get so scared so often?
It's not that dangerous out there. But still, off my lawn. NOW!

Another approach is to consider her perspective instead of just injecting your own. Personally, if I made a comment and a female colleague complained about it I would hope that instead of becoming defensive that it's just her issue to address by becoming "less sensitive", I might learn to be a bit more considerate before saying certain things.

There were plenty of people in the 1960s who had to adjust to not using the word "boy" to refer to black men, not because they personally meant offense but because they had not grown up understanding the demeaning aspect of the term. Or how about the use of the term "fag" 20 years ago to refer to a friend. Or today, calling someone a "retard". Times change, and many of us learn to unlearn what we grew up with instead of accusing the recipient of needing to just get over it.

For those that won't change, well Steve Jobs made the point well in his Stanford commencement speech. Death is the ultimate change agent.
