  • Apple hands out rainbow Apple Watch bands to commemorate LGBT Pride

    wizard69 said:
    What a waste of money, time and effort!   
    I disagree.  Apple has always been involved in the humanities, this is one example.  This gesture is also in support of LGBT community and employees everywhere, not just Apple.  It's comments and attitudes like yours is why Pride exists....Try walking in our shoes. Lose the hate.
    Why should I care if someone is gay? Why should I care if they're black, or white, or Hispanic, or Asian, or transexual, or male, or female? Everyone is human, and everyone is entitled to the same basic human rights as everyone else. No more, no less. Discrimination of any kind is disgusting and there is no place for it, but it's the same for preferential treatment. If that's a hateful stance to you, then there is no reasoning with you.

  • Apple deploys first preview branch of Swift 3.0 ahead of WWDC 2016

    Version 3.0 is not warranted. This is best labeled a 2.0.
    What did you label 2.0 as?
    My guess is he's trying to be snarky and say that 2.0 should have been 1.0, and 1.0 should have been the beta, not realizing the fact that sometimes, the only way to improve something is to actually use it and see how it works, and then improve upon it with further iterations.

  • San Bernardino victims to support FBI in iPhone decryption fight

    How about brute force the old password? I am sure Apple has the old passoword's hash somewhere. NSA should be able to crack that it a day or two. 
    The Apple ID passcode was changed by the San Bernardino IT people following the fools at the FBI: now the only way in is through the iPhone passcode which is never transmitted to Apple, it stays on the phone. As users of iPhones know there's a ten try and auto-wipe selection. If that's set an FBI brute force password attack and ten failed tries and the phone wipes itself empty. 

    Apple le has already turned over all the data saved to the phone's iCloud account. This is a fishing trip to see if there's anything else on the phone. Low to zero odds since the terrorists crushed their two personal phones and didn't bother with this work one. Probably leaving it for work expecting the county IT people to have easy access. 
    Here's the thing, though: if it's not a DoD wipe, ie alternate 0's and 1's are scanned across the entire storage drive multiple times in succession, then it's meaningless. I've been able to recover once-thought lost items from a reformatted hard drive using nothing but open-source consumer tools to find the ghost files.  I would imagine the FBI would be able to get the information they needed even after wiping it.

  • Apple Pay accepted at more than 2M locations, coming to Chick-fil-A, other stores soon

    "Apple Pay accepted at more than 2M locations, coming to Chik-fil-A, other stores soon" Sadly, Tim Cook is NOT accepted at Chik-fil-A...
    Oh, look, another ignorant liberal assuming that because people have differing views and lifestyles, they can't possibly accept and love each other. Just because someone may disagree with a homosexual lifestyle does not mean that person is evil. Yes, there are bad apples that are wrongfully exclusive, and hateful, and bigoted, but Chick-fil-A is not one of those.

  • Poll: What is your favorite email app for OS X?

    The problem I have with Mail is when I email someone a large attachment they get it but I have no record of it being sent unless I bcc myself.
    Uhh..... There is a "Sent Mail" folder that houses all of the email that you have sent to others. It's there no matter if you're using iCloud, Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.
