What were you expecting? This document shows room for improvement. It's not a full-on comparison of every aspect.

Engineers don't care about congratulating themselves on the areas where their product is better than the competition. They want to know where the competition is doing better than them. This is the purpose of this document.
Because most of the police force in US in maintained by local government, like cities or counties. Since laws vary from state to state and cities to cities, it is helpful to mention where the incident is taking place. Mentioning NYPD tells you a lot of things at once- that the incident is specific to New York city (since state and federal authorities were not involved), and that it was done by local police force of New York city, which has very distinct operating pattern and policies from some other police force, like one in LA (the LAPD), or some small rural police force.

As to why LAPD and NYPD are famous, that must be probably because these two cities have incidents that are worth national/international discussion. If you start reading more local US news, they usually mention which police department is involved in the case, like the county head or State attorney, etc.
Guys,

First, even with our fairly mad patent system intact, there is no law against looking at a superior product and brainstorming about how you can improve your product using the ideas contained there-in. And that is how it ought to be - should young painters back in the day have been prevented from studying Rembrandt because they would steal his ideas?

Then consider, there's no law about changing product in the general direction of a superior product unless you violate a specific patent.

Now further, if it is possible to patent any conceivable way to improve a product so that it is roughly similar to your product and solves the same problem problems as your product, then that should make us think even more about the insanity of patents.
> all the Amazon breach did was give the attacker the last 4 digits of a card, which is not super private anyway.

Precisely. Go to any mall, restaurant, or shopping center in the U.S. and you're bound to find at least one discarded receipt with the last four digits of the shopper's credit card number on it, possibly with their name and/or signature.

tl;dr: apple force-enabled user password recovery using appleid in mountain lion, meaning they can apparently also change your filevault2 passphrase and decrypt your disk.

Not quite; it's more like "If you've enabled the Reset Password Via Apple-ID feature before turning on FileVault, you cannot disable it since that checkbox is hidden when FileVault is active".

I don't think it'd be possible to get far enough into the boto process to actually use the reset feature without having the FileVault password, though.
If I understand correctly, this is a report - for me, it's natural that it would include product recommendations as well as criticism. Whether the company follows up on those recommendations or not, is an orthogonal issue.
Not just that - they redefine the word "history", which is a core component of the site for article revisions. And they changed where the contents are placed (do you know how many holy wars this started?!?!), they wipe to the community chosen logos, they change the templating system of the English main page (with one that is poorly laid out - check out the featured picture of the day section!), they associate number of articles with popularity...

Not sure how well they thought this out. They seem o have taken their own design brief, bu not consulted with Wikipedians!

Best this could be would be an iPad app. Not for the main site(s).
Here in France, people use debit/credit cards to buy EVERYTHING.

Some merchants discourage this by insisting on a 15 euro minimum charge. But by and large cards are used more often than cash. In restaurants it is common to split the payment of the meal and have each person contribute via a card.

It's been that way for years, although the frequency of card use is not as overwhelming as in the US.

At the supermarket, if I buy a bottle of water (0,18) I pay with a credit card. The majority of people do the same thing.

Caveat: many people, especially free-lancers, are paid in cash to avoid paying taxes on part of their income. Those people pay cash for everything. The give-away is the use of big bills (50, 100 euro bills) for small purchases.
It says fastest route, but would someone walking prefer the shortest?
Because Apple is both secretive and very successful - they do not comment on rumor, they do not comment on their intent, they do not comment on criticism (positive or negative), they only talk about their existing product, never about the past( all the compromises and features ) and as little as possible about the future. Yet, despite that, they manage to affect everyday people life.

The same conditions that drive people to read the future in tea leafs, or judge God intent in the colour of the sky.

That makes 90% of all the blogs and article about Apple completely useless. When they are correct, it is by chance, and very often when they are not correct, they cannot really be proven wrong.
thank you very much for reporting this. As we're all working on non-windows systems, we would not have found out by ourselves!
thanks.

yeah seo is a hard one, since the app is basically just images...
Yes, it is. Recovery key provides access to the encrypted volume in the same way as your password. There's no other way around: if something (password, recovery key, recovery certificate) can decrypt your volume, this something can also be used to change your password/recovery key/recovery certificate, which is not really important, because they already have access to decrypted volume.

In the linked analysis, the authors "reduced" the security of FileVault 2 to the entropy of 120-bit recovery key.
Double wow. This is a March 2010 document and the iPhone has already got copy and paste (was that iOS 3 or 4?). That means Samsung and Android had already been playing catch up for several years to get to this stage, this wasn't a comparison of their first prototype.

It is also disappointing that Samsung wasn't pointing out the iPhone and challenging their designers to do even better rather than trying to match Apple. Although maybe that happened later for the S2 and S3 development programmes.

Also without a good example to follow (although there were plenty of bad ones which probably all had some good parts) it is impressive how much Apple got right from the very beginning.
No, only the differences in which iPhone has better UX were presented, followed with the most straightforward idea of how to improve S1's UX.
strings is a very neat utility. I only recently discovered it can even extract 16-bit little endian (Windows unicode) strings by passing `-el`.

Amex does have a few cards without an annual fee... at least the Blue series do not, and possibly others. Blue cards are more like a credit card than a charge card, though.
In general, shortest would be fastest for walking (unless the difference is large and fatigue sets in).

Agreed. It's a shame too because many of the harsh comments have good points but the tone of the comments is vitriolic.

Slow down people. These people put a ton of work into a project which is really cool. They deserve constructive criticism.
I don't see how the first two arguments could apply to this case, where UI is discussed. Products being confused is a result of their (dis)similar external appearance, not their UI.

Harmful Effects of Tween Cell Phone Usage

Sure. The question here is whether the iPhone is indeed better on every point. If Samsung's version is as good as the iPhone or better, and they still recommend to copy the iPhone implementation, then you can accuse Samsung of copying for its own sake rather than to improve the device. That is what TwoBit suggested.
I don't think there is anything wrong with this documentation. I am sure Samsung has hundreds of other documents for other devices.

A good company looks at the competition and takes apart what they are doing right and wrong. Its what the company I work for does. We own a copy every competitors software. When a new version comes out we look at each change to see if there is anything we can learn and if we need to react to it. I am sure competitors do similar things with our products.

Its how you react to this study which defines you I guess. We don't just clone features. If we need to react to a feature we will probably put in something similar but it will be our take on it so it fits with our design and UI principles.

Contrast this to Samsung. This document does look like a lot like. "On the right is what we have now. On the left is how it should work." This is probably why they are being sued.
from this(it's from [1]): http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/files/jewpc3.jpg

it seems that Ashkenazi jews are quite distinct from Palestinians. there might be a small overlap between the groups(upper right corner), but a terrorist could still target a specific subgroup of the ashkenazi jews. and using more principal components might get him a better separation between the groups.

How Smartphone & Apps Helps In Education? [Infographic]
>"Visa and MasterCard get about 20% of their revenues from merchant fees. American Express gets 65% of its revenues from merchant fees, because it relies less on interest payments (most American Express card holders don't carry a balance)." [3]

Real citation needed. That Seekingalpha link is very wrong. Visa and MasterCard probably derive 100% of their revenues though merchant fees and similar. They neither lend money nor collect interest from consumers. The usurious interest rates and fees that you are trying to "vote" against are coming from the banks that issue the cards. Visa And mastercard profit by encouraging use of their card networks for every purchase. They don't care about your "pit of debt."

I'm not sure how paying an annual fee to Amex and forcing merchants to process your expensive card is helping anyone other than further enriching Amex, which in addition to being a payment network, is also operating as a bank as far as extending loans to and collecting interest from its "cardmembers." If Amex's other value added services such as rewards, return protection or whatever make it worthwhile, for your business to pay the membership and merchant fees then so be it.

My personal "vote with my dollars" strategy is to use cash for transactions where a credit card does not add value to my user experience and not to unnecessarily punish businesses with small purchases on credit. I use a Visa card because it is accepted most everywhere. I do use a "rewards" card so I do carry some guilt for any extra merchant fees that may incur.

- Pay for gas at the pump: credit.
- Pay for online goods: credit.
- Pay for an expensive item with not enough cash in pocket: credit
- Pay for a $2 coffee: cash
- Pay for a round of beers at the pub (where a credit card will add an extra round trip for the bartender to get back to me): cash
- Pay for anything at a local restaurant: cash
- At McDonalds and somewhoe don't even have $2 in my pocket: credit

I was kind of hoping that this document would also address some weaknesses in iOS an propose solutions for Samsung to innovate ahead of Apple, but if they had such an analysis, it's not in this document.

Still, this really is a goldmine of stuff. I particularly like the bits about the keyboard, which Samsung clearly styled to be nearly visually identical to the iPhone's keyboard, yet misses so many subtleties.

Also, from slide 105 (p110): The iPhone's camera (3G?) actually takes 3 times as long to start as the camera on the S1, but Apple makes it feel faster by showing a shutter animation. Perceived speed is so important and Apple is a master of illusions.
It's not particularly hard to use. You think of a topic you want to read, type it in the search and press enter. You start reading that topic. And you can click on a hyperlink to related articles within that article.

Great design already, with a few rough edges. Nothing that needs a fundamental overhaul. I would hate to see Wikipedia go the way of Digg!
My thoughts were "if you have to look up what 'jnz' means, you probably aren't qualified to do this analysis, much less come to the definite conclusion that no copying was done"

I agree completely. When I find myself in such a situation I usually try to slap myself mentally and go on and actually do something. And from experience I know that I will actually learn more through doing. There is also matter of interning some things through actually working with them. That's why it's important to actually solve differential equations when you are studying them and not just read the theory. And yes, I am a procrastination champion alright.

Bear in mind that the term "confidential" only applies inside the company - that company needs to ensure its security is good enough.

However, when it comes to a court case you have document discovery and I presume this "confidential" document turned up. The judge gets to decide whether it can be used as evidence, and I presume the only thing he or she considers is whether it is relevant to the case - the "confidential" part is irrelevant.

Traffic lights, crime-addled regions, embassies (I wouldn't dare jog towards a guarded embassy carrying a backpack), loose gravel paths. All these will slow down walking considerably.

Or outside the city: Marshes, mountains, thick forests, muddy hill slopes.

Just to be clear, the top shares right now are Asimov's Foundation trilogy (always a good read), a bunch of films, and My Little Pony pornography.

"Free knowledge to everyone" -- we're not quite there yet, and I would stick with the various OpenCourseWare-type free-university-education initiatives. The Internet Archive as I understand it is aiming more to be a library than a synthetic learning resource.
"That's really just a negative externality of inefficient suburban development." Shouldn't public transit cover rural areas and small towns also? Or is the only way to get an efficient transport system to have the entire world living in huge urban centres? Personal mass transit could allow a much wider range of city sizes to be served with relative efficiency.
It's a court case - there's a process called "discovery" that lets you get a hold of information that looks relevant from your counterparty. It's entirely legal.

I presume it's the judge who gets to decide whether it's admitted as evidence, but until then I presume that the only people who can look at it outside of the cleared people at Samsung are Apple lawyer.
A legitimate reason is when a company or organisation changes significantly. Wikipedia changes remarkably over time, but does it incrementally. Logo change is neither sensible or required.
The act of swiping your card demonstrates its presence. The fact that there is no signature or PIN requirement is a result of the type of business that Starbucks is (Mechant Classification Code), and the typically low transaction amount.

This thread is full of misconceptions about payment processing which appear to be simple assumptions stated as facts. Having worked for one of the largest merchant acquirers in the world, it reminds me of glad I am not deal with any of that any longer.
Spent a summer in Paris. Still chastened by a Monoprix cashier not being able to take my card for whatever reason, and a woman in line behind me telling me it's "not like America."

Also enjoyed the spectacle of tobacconists not knowing to swipe my less-secure magnetic strip, looking for my smart card chip.
My Little Pony pornography? What the ...?

I was referring to knowledge not as in education but as in the corpus of all media. For learning resources universities will almost always be a better bet. That's what they're for after all (and research, obviously).
Unless you're a South American drug lord, I don't think that's how security guards work. You don't get to just shoot wildly at anyone approaching, unless you're being shot at.

If Kim had trigger happy guards like that, that alone would seem a little suspicious. Who was he afraid of?

For that matter, this is a pretty paranoid panic button setup:

“I was on my bed, once the banging started, I pressed an alarm button that is situated right at my bed which was installed in case of an emergency. When I press that it automatically sends a signal to all security guards including Mr [Wayne] Tempero’s room including SMSs to everybody informing them there is an alert.

Perhaps that's just standard operating procedure for a multi-millionaire.

I used the iPhone for 6 months (work phone) and purchased a Samsung model as a replacement (in the 2 weeks).

I'm not sure how you could confuse the 2 phones. The functionality of the two are different enough that confusing the two is difficult.

If the similarity is based on icons and using icons to open programs, wasn't this done at PARC? Or the original Mac? I'd think those are both prior art, or possibly even the Palm PDAs.

At this point I'm not sure which phone I like better, both tend to work which is my main requirement.
