Welcome to World War III

Welcome to World War III

:(

Interview with one astronaut said that with the BEST shielding available, a human would get the equivalent of 6,000 chest xrays on a trip to Mars.

No serious side effects?

Addiction,duh?

High school drama queens

El Reg and Apple

*Godzilla Facepalm*

When it sticks out of the back of your iPhone, you're done.

Passwords and Human Nature

Trying to enforce a behaviour (different passwords for every site) on everyone is doomed to fail.

We need a better system, and it's not clear that biometrics are ultimately more secure.

Microsoft wreckers

In over 30 years, Microsoft has failed to actually make anything it has bought, better.

The fight over the crumbs begins.

Atmospheric Nuclear testing when they were kids?

Babbage on LSD ! WOOT !

WOOT !

This is ONLY about a few rich people lying to racists and little Englanders.

This is ONLY about a few rich people, who stand to benefit handily, lying to racists and little Englanders.

It's Boris Johnson's (the British Trump) shortcut to being P.M.

It will result in "The Greek Model" of an economy. Mark my words now.

I am an Apple fan, mostly, .... BUT ....

This is nuts. Hendrix "I used to live in a room full of mirrors" comes to mind.

When Steve Jobs was alive, Apple was all about his ego, about being The Best, about being perfect in every way... AND he was a genius.

Now, Apple is all about Money. Feel the difference?

Just as boring as car racing to watch, but with a more irritating sound

*facepalm*

Honestly...

It's about time.

Seize their assets

I am tired of the rich never going to prison.

Here's a challenge...

... A way to make politicians actually work for the people they represent.

If Apple gives in on this, it could result in...

.. thousands of such judicial orders, which would cost it huge time and money.

And, of course, any "bulk" solution to those orders would constitute a True Threat to all older iPhones and devices.

You complain about CSI ?

What about conservation of mass, especially in kid's movies?

Honestly, agree with you 100%

especially on electricity and clean water. Maybe even for Flint!

Cash for Tory buddies in I.T. (again)

All (all) big Tory cash investments are really just fed through their buddies in the end.

Lawyers and Money.

Period.

How many dead? Electrocution...

"Electrocution is death caused by electric shock, electric current passing through the body. "

I think most of these were shocked, but not badly harmed. One was allegedly put into a coma.

Editor?

A giant, a thinker, an inspiration. RIP

He was my thesis advisor for a while, many years ago.

Just think, someday the law will fun just as fast as computers....

... .and then we will be really f'cked.

Who owns the A.I. ?

A.I. could free humanity...

... but when the super-rich and corporations own all the A.I. and robots (already), and replace almost all jobs (more and more), what will you do?

The rich are NOT going to feed and care for you....

Bet on it.

Wonderful review

Thank you

Nice report...

... good analysis ....

Thank you.

In the long tradition of Microsoft, each release of Skype is worse

All but one of my clients has given up on it.

Not impressed with S6 edge plus

My wife got one of these about 6 weeks ago, brand new. It refused to boot and was sent back. The new unit took 2 weeks to arrive "from Salford UK" and seemed great.

But when she was playing games, she found two severe problems. Touching things near the right edge was fine, but SWIPING down or up did not work. Others on the internet report the same.

Also, on the keyboard, the letter O would not work unless the phone was in landscape orientation. We installed updated Android OS, latest. Took it to Vodafone shop 3 times, no joy.

So we sent it back for a refund and wife got an iPhone 6S plus. Three week now, no problems at all, she Loves it.

I used to be very impressed with Samsung hardware (never fond of Android though)

Now I'm not so sure....

I used to love Samsung but...

... my wife has had THREE different Samsung S6 Edge+ now (in the last 6 weeks), all of them with flawed screens (cannot use finger swipe on right edge. Touch works, but not swipe. Left edge okay)

Software updates made no difference. Also keyboard issues (Letter O doesn’t work unless screen in portrait mode)

Serious quality control issues here.

She's fed up and getting an iPhone now

Honestly, Mars is just a way for the rich to get richer.

*facepalm*

No absolute numbers provided. Why?

Windows had 30 million NEW malware threats in 2014 or about 82,000 per day.

Crap Idea

Stupid, crap, idiocy.

And going to Mars is a joke. Deep gravity wells are incredibly expensive to enter/exit.

NASA needs a shake-up

How come I never hear...

.. any of these Security Dunces talking about the commercially available encryption software that's been around for 30 years?

Coming soon... sewage inspection by Google

Citing the growing need for medical profits, Google today announced "Google Sewage Reporter" which taps into the sewage from your home and workplace.

Larry Page beamed and noted "Now you won't be able to take a SH'T without us knowing every detail"

Every single new update of Skype...

... introduces more bugs. Hard to believe.

My contacts and I have given up. Only one still uses Skype. *facepalm*

Very confusing article

The headline and the body seem to be at odds.

Pull !

... then reloads.

I am completely in favour...

... of Jailbreakers hacking their iThings.

1) It allows new ideas to be presented to Apple and the community.

2) It tests methods of penetration and security holes.

3) It creates a community for those with different ideas about mobile device usage

4) I would never do it to my iThings, but I am happy that others (carefully, I hope) do.

Don't worry

Don't worry. We will do ourselves in LONG before any asteroids....

Steve Ballmer ....

... is the George W Bush of the corporate world.

Your tax dollars at work (lobbying your congressmen)

America is a farm. The citizens are the animals to be milked and slaughtered for the profit of the corporations and the rich. The politicians are paid by the corporations and the rich to make sure the animals stay in their places and obey.

A Wisconsin court rules for a Wisconsin University?

They could be right, but it stinks like nepotism to me.

If an out-of-court upholds the judgement, then Apple certainly should pay.

Windows *facepalm*

We are going to pay for this for decades.
