    If only this was not poolitically brainwashed and giving incorrect answers device. It has been tested and it is disgrace to Amazon release this junk that cannot define some terms properly. It even does not know what abrreviation of "Nazi" come from and means giving wrong answer. Not a good way for kids to learn.

  • Apple says fix incoming for macOS High Sierra root access bug

    I want to make it clear that I think the person who discovered this problem is a complete douchebag. He made this a zero day exploit by announcing it to the world without alerting Apple before hand. The responsible and ethical thing to do would have been to inform Apple of the problem through the proper channels and allow them to fix it before going public. But no, he informed Apple and the world with a damned tweet apparently. 

    I also want say that I think users who pick and choose whether to apply updates based on perceived problems are idiots and morons. You see it all the time in the forums and Apple discussion threads. “I won’t install such and such update because somebody said it breaks such and such app.” Blathering idiocy and this flaw proves it. Apply updates when they are released. Okay, wait a few days if you must but DO IT.
    Yes and no. Security through obscurity is an old Microsoft technique. If you do not push those corporations then they will not act fast enough and turn those things into "features". Should this be told to Apple first? Yes. Should they give deadline to Apple and tell them when this will be public? Yes. Put knife on throat of corporation then it will act properly giving priorities to what's really important.

    Just do not reinvent wheel with proper testing. AFS replacing HFS+ and then this plus whole slew of applications for professional work not working. Thank you but we are staying with Sierra until fixes are provided. Lastt thing we want to find out that some bastards use our commerrcial projects in foreign country for profit.

  • Video: Extending the iPhone X's battery life with 'Dark Mode'

    What a innovation. How about it saves your vision inth first place. This generation will be half blind in a few years. I know they do not relaize that, but human vision limits did not evelove with speed of technology. Curent display devices kill eyes way faster than older once with lower brightness.

  • Apple sacks iPhone X engineer after daughter posts hands-on video to YouTube

    That is why you keep secret work in the firm and in the lab and not ask people to run test drive outside. Family should not know then follow the rules. It is simple as that. Not itr is not harsh. We in public finance IT know it - we cannot discuss anything we saw or heard with family and we even have to allow monitoring investement accounts of direct family memners. SEC sets the rules. No discussion. Your firm has similar rules then follow them. I do not see the problem.
