Hey Siri, play the latest episode of Game of Thrones on the living room TV.

”Ok, timer set for 9 minutes”

So, yes, I think Apple should work on Siri. Anyway they see fit, abiding the law.

List of Major Exploitations on Apple:

1)

1)CrossRider
2)OSX/MaMi
3) OSX/Dok
4)MacDownloader
5)OSX/Pirrit
6)Meltdown
7)Spectre
8)XAgent

 ... so exploits happen. Gatekeeper is great of course at keeping the bad stuff out, but not foolproof

There's always going to be a way in.

And if not, Apple has left the root password wide open this year. Even their sw update fix didn't fix it.

The only way Apple will ever lower the price of it's iPhones is if people stop buying them. But Apple knows there's millions of suckers that need the latest and greatest and will fork down $1k or more for a new iPhone every year.  
Btw, I'm still using a BB9900. I'm not paying $800 or more for a damn phone!

My tapping on the "Informative" button below your post was quite derogative. "Sorry 'bout that"

So wait - the aim was test the 3D recognition feature of the iPhone against the Androids?
But then they selected only 2D facial recognition systems in the Androids?
So, the compared a feature that the Androids didn't even have?

Revolutionary!

They should do a test of the iPhone X fingerprint recognition versus the Androids. I can see the heading 'Android consistently beats iPhone X fingerprint sensor '

Briljant!

Awkward article. It states 'ignorance on our leaders and politicians' but nowhere does it mention what has been ignored. I presume the authors mean Pichai's reply "the iPhone is not a Google product" or some such, and therefore tag our leaders as ignorant.

Is this what was meant? If so, I wouldn't call that ignorant. Let's call a spade a spade here. Someone using an iPhone, opening Safari, going to google dot com, searching for something...the results would indeed be a Google (or Alphabet) 'product'.
