What previous similar missteps has Apple made that support your theory? Apple's been batting well over .500 and their sales and stock price both indicate appreciation and support.

I've done something similar, though gave myself many more months. I also pre-paid a number of expected expenses to get them out of the way. I still ran through the cash quicker tha…

I have to wonder if this article is incorrect - what part of the problem can't be solved using services already offered by the cell phone? Is a new chip really required and, if so,…

Bear in mind that Blizzard provides more robust authentication services than most banks.

This problem started in the 80s, if not earlier. The original MIT "hacker" definition morphed into a definition used by the medial and the public to refer to the cyber criminals of…

I found the most interesting part of this article the following quote: "... and would make them more vulnerable to security threats." Allowing users to opt out of tracking increase…

Yet, despite the taxes, companies keep starting up in San Francisco. Maybe some people in SF don't want a Google-plex in the city? If you want to argue that it is bad for the city,…

The way car theft has been eradicated?

Oh, but I've had all sorts of other fun failures with dreamhost in the early days. A number of us regularly called it "dreamhose". It seems to have matured, and I keep some materia…

Yes, I have. And been on my way in less than 15 minutes. There are several reasons that one might turn over one's phone, all well documented in the media. The primary two are: 1) V…

Given the response on HTCIA, HTCC, and the CCE lists, this was news to many people in the LE community. I think your edit touches on the difference - this is a new source for the i…

The issue is that this data used to only be available via the service provider. Now it is available from the device, and the device it syncs to.

There's a lot of marketing hype in here. There are a lot of mobile device collection tools and none of them fully collect every device out there. Also, collecting a 64GB i over USB…

And it doesn't work on all devices out there, and doesn't fully collect the devices it does work with. Most forensics labs have multiple tools such as this, and still have issues f…

Details about the site, founders, philosophy, etc would be welcome. At least I didn't see this information on a quick pass, and it's information that I feel is important. It looks …

I don't have time to read mediocre books. I've found myself buying a number of ebooks and putting them aside, at several price points. I think I am more wary of the sub $9 ebooks, …

While I'm not in favor of warrantless wiretapping or GPS tracking, I'd appreciate you elaborating on your claim that they're twisting logic until it nearly breaks. Unfortunately, t…

I guarantee you that a halfway decent lawyer would still find a way to sue you and win. Any lawyer could find a way to sue you and the ensuing legal scuffle would consume more mone…

Hanscom Field is a bit smaller than DCA. A Cirrus is a bit smaller than a 737 (or whatever the planes landing at DCA were.) DCA is, oddly enough, immediately adjacent to Washington…
