As a dev, I want #Apple to open up #NFC, but I also know it is their choice. And I trust #ApplePay because of this. http://www.afr.com/technology/apple-says-australias-banks-pose-a-security-threat-to-iphones-20160809-gqogpr
Can #IoT and #Smarthome be so scary? Is it as bad as the security threat to over 900m #Android devices? 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfnDTvbtDUI
New #iOS10 Photos is not like #GooglePhotos, it doesn’t upload all photos to Google for face recognition, it does so locally on the device.
Look at the range of #Nest products, smart sensor devices, expected to last for years and can’t easily make money from subscriptions.
It’s not about if #Apple can hack their own technology to help the FBI, what’s if other governments legally request for the same hack?
Trusted communication is not exclusively for baddies, #encryption is a key part of the digital trust framework. We can’t allow backdoor!
Many #Android phones added fingerprint scanner in 2015, expect first hack incident in 2016? How do we change our fingerprint after?
General public can’t easily understand #encryption, it is mathematics, not computer science. The digital envelope needed for all messages.
UK surveillance bill is just stupid. Similar to requiring holes into all envelopes. Might as well just outlaw letters and enforce postcards!
Does it mean NSA can now track him legally by requesting the usage data from Twitter? https://x.com/TheNextWeb/status/649087186671902720
I am worried about #Google’s #OnHub, they already know a lot about my emails and searches, do they need to know about every byte I download?
Another reason why #iOS is better, you can’t tinker with the system to install ad-blockers, app makers will stay on. https://x.com/SAI/status/630677897867603968
