Yet despite the global distribution that all these services offer, Sony still would prefer me to pirate it than take my money due to imaginary regional boundaries.
Agree.. Standards that have patents which require royalty payments should have the cost to everybody built in - set fees for use of the standard which includes royalties of all inventions within the standard.
So... Apples choice is either to reveal a backdoor or security flaw in IOS or to protest by saying their phone / OS is so secure that it can't be done..
Have the FBI tried searching Google for "ios lock screen bypass"? (Would use a lmgtfy link, but it appears to be down)
In all honesty, it is one of the memories of that school that will stick with me. It did actually teach us not to panic in a fire situation and obviously was effective because I remember it well over 20 years later!
When I was at school (at around age 11), our science teacher would randomly drop a lit paper towel or set fire to a gas tap - to see what we would do.. More than once this resulted in one of the kids setting off the fire alarm instead of just stamping on the towel or turning off the gas tap.
I'm not actually all that bothered about encryption on my phone - I don't keep much on it anyway and I can remotely wipe / disable / back up / track it anyway.
On my computer however, things are a little different. I use bitlocker to ensure it is all encrypted (Using both a TPM and a USB key which I carry around with me) - not to stop law enforcement (although they would have to have a very convincing warrant for me to give up the keys), but because I use it to run an offsite backup of works servers - which, as we are a scanning bureau, contain over 400GB of data, most of which consists of legal files for criminal cases, personal data, accountancy data etc. It would probably be criminal for me to NOT keep this kind of information encrypted!
Funny thing - I am currently loking at purchasing a new car - and the driver assistance pack does EXACTLY that! It literally reads the road signs and displays the current speed limit on the dash.
It's pretty simple really - Spotlight offers a unified search by default - just like the Windows 8/8.1 search screen.
This unified search sends your query over to Apple who then pass it to Bing to return web results alongside your local search.
It is a feature that can easily be disabled.
I'm not a fan of Apple, but this is really no different to what Microsoft are doing with Windows 8, Ubuntu is doing with unity etc. I have no doubt Microsoft use IP geolocation if they don't tap into your location directly.
The main issue is that it also sends Apple your location and other identifying information - which the Apple statement addresses.
