Remembering the thumb thieves from Back To The Future II now...
Fingerprint ID seems like a bad idea. The FIRST EPISODE of Burn
Notice pointed out that your fingerprint is on there all the
time unless you clean it off after every use (unlikely,
especially if you're on the street which is when it's most
likely to be snatched), then a little trickery can get it
unlocked.
Someone pointed out that there's a fifth amendment problem with
this-- you can't be compelled to give away a password or any
information that's in your head, but the same doesn't hold true
for a fingerprint (or if you have the passwords written down, so
MEMORIZE THEM PEOPLE). So unless you have to put in a password
as well as a thumbprint, your phone is a lot less secure.
The whole fingerprint ID thing sounds like kabuki security, it
SEEMS like it would be secure but it really isn't. We're
overdue for a rethink on how security works, not this garbage.

That took about as long as I had figured: The iPhone fingerprint
sensor has ALREADY been hacked

Haha. It was expected. It was probably the first guy in line
that did the hacking. Egg on face.

I just found out this weekend, on my iPad, using www.google.com,
you can select a microphone function where I can ask a question
instead of typing.
Dependent on the question or statement, google may answer with a
voice and definitely take you to the web related data.
Freakin cool

[glow=red,2,300]Siri Gets Catty If You Confuse Her With Scarlett
Johansson[/glow]
[quote]In Spike Jonze’s latest film, Her, a mustachioed Joaquin
Phoenix plays a man who falls in love with a Siri-like “digital
assistant,” Her, played by Scarlett Johansson.
You’d think Siri would appreciate having a movie made about her,
but instead, kitty’s got claws when it comes to her filmic
counterpart: thanks to Apple’s cheeky and surprisingly timely
programmers, if you ask Siri “Are you her?” she will respond:
“No. Her portrayal of an intelligent agent is beyond
artificial”, “No. You know that it’s just a movie, right?” and
“No. In my opinion, she gives artifical intelligence a bad
name.”[/quote]

Hey peeps. As I've mentioned before, I ditched my cell phone
years ago and haven't looked back since then. Monthly payments
were getting out of control and even at it's basic/cheapest
payment plan, it was still a huge waste of money. Fast forward
to today and I was curious to know if there was an option to
pick up a smartphone for the sole purpose of browsing websites
online. Simply put, have a smartphone for WiFi usage only and
not using it for calling people. What are my options. Looking
forward to hearing what you guys have to say.

I can't help. I'm a dumbass when it comes to these types of
phones. I'm considering going back to flip phone.
I'm hearing the joke with today's phones, is they are used for
every thing BUT talking on. Go figure.
Good luck and let us know what you find.
