That's why I put the yet in between. I don't expect that the 5S has more than 4GB RAM.

Of course, it is possible to address more than 4GB in a 32-bit operating system with processor extensions, if you limit the address space of processes to 4GB (see e.g. PAE). I don't expect that we'll see many applications needing more than that soon. Maybe games?
OK great, I will definitely join

I manage a team that includes several women. Not saying completely ignorant stuff like "shut up and make me a sammich" is easy. It's my potential for unconscious chauvinism that worries me a great deal.
I agree, and I started a website to address this: http://www.collegeanswerz.com/.
For OpenBSD ksh I've got this hack

I really don't think fingerprint as personal key is a good idea. It's not as private as your personal passphrase. A lot others might have it. (e.g. US Visa Office took my fingerprints when I was applying a Visa). If it's not private, how could it be used as private key or master password?
Local RAID of SSD.
Just like to say that I love this concept.
Consumer can also be sold by meaningless buzzwords, like 64-bit on a phone with less than 4 gigabytes of memory, particularly if they trying really hard to be sold.
You should do a screencast of such infinitely useful classics as tac, tsort, and sl.

(Actually, I have found use for those first two on occasion. ;)
Books Every Software Developer Should Have Already Read
More broadly this is probably a move from ARMv7 to ARMv8, which brings about a bunch of performance improvements besides 64-bit-ness: more registers, double-precision floating-point SIMD, hardware AES and SHA extensions, etc. This probably mostly opens up performance improvement potential for games, but things like SSL could also get faster.
Twice the integer and floating point registers, IIRC. Their benchmarks were placing it as twice as fast as the previous gen.

It'll also enable tagged pointers, which will probably speed up Objective-C code and encourage people to move away from using primitives types.
I think everyone is overlooking a significant threat. If we have information that is shared, we know when it is changed. The NSA has data that is not necessarily shared, so if the top people decide to "do you in", such as Obama and Romney, they have only to "edit" the data - and you have no way of proving they didn't. Meanwhile, we know the FISC will accept whatever NSA gives them as the absolute truth.
I pointed it out because many people use Windows XP, OS X, Android, or iOS. All those OSes (as well as UNIX clones and variants) don’t come with the font pre-installed.
You forgot to mention the discovery of an inexcusable bug that everyone howls about but doesn't dissuade their brand loyalty by even a little bit.
Memset (a UK cloud company) gives customers a vlan for private networking.
Interesting quote: "It's never available to other software. It's never uploaded to Apple's servers or backed up to iCloud."

I was momentarily worried the NSA fingerprint database was going to get a whole lot bigger, but I guess not.

Edit: Obviously this could totally backfire and Apple could screw us all, just reporting what was said.

Edit 2: Video is up detailing all of this a bit more: http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/videos/#video-touch
ARM chips aren't that register starved, however, the 64 bit ARM chips now have 31 registers instead of 16.
I agree that university rankings suck, and I started a website to address it: http://www.collegeanswerz.com/.
Anti-Piracy “Strike” Schemes Are Not Effective, Research Shows
It's not a "burner" phone, it's an "international quad band unlocked" phone for local sims.
The NSA's gonna love the fingerprint collection from Apple.
Hmmm, I don't remember saying that.

My parents didn't teach me to run to them or to teachers when stuff like this happens. They taught me how to deal with it myself.

Treating high schoolers like they're helpless kids might be fashionable now, but it might not seam as wise when they're 30 and living at home.
Was hoping for NFC in the last one - really wish they would do it just so that tech could really take off.
Perhaps you could expand the agreement, and not piss off your landlord.

You'd probably kick you out too if you'd caused enough trouble to overtake the cost of finding and inducting new tenants.
I believe you have just summarized, at least, the next month of news stories from various sites designed to maximize ad revenue. I consider these announcements like miniature gold-rushes for the news sites and ad networks. Unfortunately, I have yet to think of a way to "sell shovels" to them.
These are actually good questions.
[TrueCrypt](http://www.truecrypt.org/) or [dm-crypt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dm-crypt) are both open source (technically, TrueCrypt has source available but doesn't meet the definition of an open-source license, though there's some debate on that point), and thus publicly auditable.

Also, I'm less worried about FDE being vulnerable to Border Patrol than about, say, SSL vulnerabilities across the whole network. The plausible deniability, which they would need to use to protect their sources if they found information, is a lot lower if you know you have been stopped and your laptop searched, rather than just tapping all internet traffic so you don't even know when you've been searched. Mac OS X's File Vault 2 and Windows's BitLocker are probably sufficient if if you aren't particularly paranoid about being individually targeted for something big, but I would be more inclined to trust the open solutions.
Two words: Privacy implications.

I, for one, would love to know if this information is stored just on the device (securely?), transmitted and under what circumstances.
Users expect to register. I've seen UX lab studies testing it, without registration users get really confused and don't understand what's happening with their data.

Conversion can actually drop heavily with non-registration approaches.

Obviously it depends on the app, one where you only need to use it once you can and probably should design your UX to not need it. But if your app actually needs to maintain user state over multiple sessions then creating a user makes a lot of sense.

(Although you can build up user profile over time rather than requiring it upfront)
Aren't those contract prices?
When I see Apple putting forward as a key feature the number of bits in their processor in a general public announcement... I'm really feeling the "new" product is not really new. In the past Apple was always laughing at the PC ads boasting processor speed and memory capacity.
It won't make an iota of difference, since the phone has less than 4 gigs of memory.

Wait, you asked if they 'cared'? Of course they care - it's a larger number than everyone else at the offices' iphone has.
This article makes points that sound fine on the surface, but ignore reality. There's a very good reason why a lot of sites do this and won't stop any time soon--it works. The article claims some effects to "conversions, usage and how people feel about your product" but is very light on the details of how it actually affects those things.

Getting a user to sign up facilitates a whole range of options (promotional emails being just one of them) that help drive user retention and engagement. I am not advocating making your product obscure until they sign up. The value proposition of your product should be clear, regardless of whether someone signs up or not. But it is not clear that making them signup before they can actually use it for themselves decreases conversion or usage.

The complaint made here will become ever weaker as "Sign Up with Google" and other single-sign-on services become more widespread. Signing up in those cases takes a single click, and my experience is in many cases instantly personalized with my data from other services. This might make some HN denizens cringe, but the average person seems to not mind.
I don't lie to my clients about where I spend their money - and even if I wanted to, I wouldn't manage to do it without them noticing.
meh.

But there are people lined up at the local Apple store to get a marginal upgrade to a increasingly uninteresting non-status smartphone product so what do I know?
SSLNuke - SSLstrip for IRC connections
But your personal passphrase is only secure until someone watches you enter it from afar. None of these solutions are perfect, but the fingerprinting is significantly better.

The sensor is complex enough that I very much doubt you could just use a printout of a fingerprint to fool it.
iPhone 5S will be 199 for the 16GB model, 299 for 32GB, and 399 for 64GB on a 2 year contract
Finally - I hope the jailbreak for 4S and 5 will be out soon now. :)
How The Support Team Improves The Product
Funny time to announce a phone with a fingerprint sensor - soon after it comes out, it will get cold outside and people will realize that they need to take off their gloves in order to use the fingerprint sensor.
How else do you get pixels to the screen at reasonable frame rates? You load it into a texture and place it on a 3D polygon that just happens to be sized the same as the screen, making it in effect a 2D canvas with 1:1 texel to pixel mappings. Doing old-school "bitblitting" isn't going to cut it today, the overhead is too huge. GPU texture manipulation and layering is orders of magnitude faster than what you can do in the CPU space.

Windows uses Direct3D for the native UI, and OS X uses OpenGL for the same thing.
With contract.
My first impression is that the "gold" colored phone will be coveted by the more affluent foreign (as in, "outside the USA") customers.
Restful Users Matter More than RESTful APIs
Alread rocks. You can develop workflows for common groups of tasks and it integrates well with iTunes, 1Password, Terminal and other system actions/apps.
Memory and '64bit math' aren't really the drivers here, 64bit archs generally have a lot more registers and allow better packing of SIMD instructions. Both can give large performance increases, particularly the later when a lot of what you plan to use that power for are things like image manipulation.
Same here. I was hoping Origin would redeem itself after U8.

Hopefully in the afterlife I'll be able to play U7 again for the first time. What a great game and a hard act to follow.
Why You Should Drop Everything And Start Growing Bugs
Or a capacitive touchscreen unless they buy special gloves...
It's an evolution. Looks like a good tock release. I predict DOOM in the stock markets.
I saw a Mythbusters episode where they defeated a fingerprint scanner with a home printer copy of a fingerprint they lifted off a CD case with superglue.
So, for $40 I can make my gorgeous, elegant new iPhone 5s as ugly as a 5C? I'm sorry, but those cases look absolutely terrible.

I was actually pretty excited about the prospect of an affordable iPhone, but it appears that the 5C, which is essentially an iPhone 5 that's cheaper to produce, is still going to cost at least $400-500 without a contract. There simply isn't $400 worth of technology in the iPhone 5C.

Edit: It's even worse than I expected. The 5C is available unlocked for $549 only through T-Mobile. At $649, the 5S is a reasonably priced luxury, but at just $100 less, the 5C is a ripoff.

It's disingenuous to pretend that a phone is cheap because it's $100 on-contract. If I signed that contract the phone would cost me $1300 more than what I pay using a Galaxy Nexus on the same towers that AT&T subscribers use. So basically, Apple is telling consumers that an ugly lump of plastic and glass containing last year's technology is worth more than a 13" Macbook Air 2013.
Thunderbolt target disk mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3838

Perhaps you could solve this by "hotrodding" the firmware, but it's not particularly obvious how you could do that without risking bricking your laptop.
If it's like the vast majority of fingerprint implementations it will be a "use either method" mechanism.
Oh no, SEM.
You are right. But passphrase can be reset; fingerprint is permanent...

EDIT: as to sensor complexity, if it can be built into a home button, it'll be implemented on other fingerprint readers. Before long, people would be collecting fingerprints using this kind of advanced sensors..
64-bit, and yet it will probably use no more than 2 GB of RAM.

Either way, this shows how committed Apple is to making its own ARM CPU's, and dismiss any rumors that Apple would use Intel's chips in iPhones or iPads in the future (which was a very unlikely and crazy idea to begin with). If anything, Apple would start making $700 Air-like machines with 64-bit chips soon (maybe next year), and still be as profitable as they are with the real $1,000 Air (since Intel is charging them about $300 for the Haswell CPU).
Since it only has 2 gigs of Ram, 64-bit won't do anything for any of that.
`cd -` to go back to the previous directory. Saved me LOTS of time over the past few months.
Style: Toward Clarity and Grace
Although imperfect, it does need to be offered for people like myself who hate dealing with passwords, don't want to goof around with password storage apps, and aren't paranoid about someone lifting their fingerprints.
Mobile payments are happening around the work, with or without Apple's blessing. They're ignorant stating that it isn't going to take off.
At least it's running in 64-bit mode, unlike the G5 when it was announced.
It's not easy to be impressed by version 6? of anything.
There's that whole pesky touch screen, too!
Of course it's secure. We had the top government men in the other day to make sure it was!
Curate the few stories that have gold- real analysis, insight, and offer something new. Though that would be doing shoveling, yourself.
i didn't consider it before.. but that is so true and scary at the same time.
That did seem rather bizarre to me as well.
The article says that the biggest employers are "consulting companies" it would be more correct to say they are off-shoring companies. The disconnect between the rhetoric about H1B and the reality is staggering.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/04/03/176134...

I also want to point out that despite the occasional anecdote of H1B visa holders being paid equal to, or even better than, their US citizen counterparts there is exactly zero budget for enforcement of this requirement. Even then, there are classification tricks to work around the occasional cursory check-up.

http://www.cringely.com/2012/10/23/what-americans-dont-know-...
I don't see the huge benefit yet of using a 64-bit CPU in a phone.

...unless the phone becomes more and more of a gaming platform.
Except they specifically said the fingerprint is never sent across the Internet, but is instead stored locally on the A7 chip.
I think the way to do it is to make a program the generates "controversial apple articles" through a little natural language processing and a bank of commonly-used vocabulary. It could totally be done, hah
This is a great point, is there a better way to do local dev with webhooks? I always used localtunnel which is great it not perfect.
Thanks man. I remember that interview (it was a headache). The interviewer seemed to have an agenda going in. Before the interview he kept saying he thought it was "foolish that people would use Google to research people in the first place" and that "nobody should believe Google results anyways".

When Pete was in college there were several criminals who all shared his name and his results were a mess. One of them included a story about someone suspected of dealing drugs. At the time we never thought to save or bookmark those results because we had no idea we'd be starting a company and being interviewed by NPR years later.

We couldn't find an exact article about a drug dealer (perhaps it actually was taken down). We WERE able to show him several other results with about criminals with his name. We linked him to them. When he asked us about it, we told him we couldn't find it, but we offered to redo the interview and be less specific "Pete was being mistaken for criminals with the same name" since we could show results for that.

In his article he claims we simply did not respond to these requests. When I asked him about it afterwards he apologized and said "he must have missed that email". He didn't update the story though. It seems like he wanted to tell a story about how online reputation management helps people permeate lies and that's why you shouldn't trust Google.

All that said, we learned a valuable lesson. We no longer use the term "drug dealer" we use "criminals" and we link to specific articles we're still able to find so people can't question the validity
What's PL?
A big reason, which the Eat24 article sort of delves into, is use case. If most porn viewers are watching between 7pm and 3am, those are fantastic hours for a food delivery service; they might be shitty hours for a lot of other products or services. (Though I'd imagine they would make great hours, and porn great ad inventory, for impulse-buy products).

As others have mentioned, brand association is another big factor. Probably the biggest factor. Most mainstream companies are extremely (ahem) anal about where their brands pop up.
Thanks for the suggestion! Actually, I initially wanted to do one on more advanced commands, but I thought I'd better lay a foundation first. I also want to cover using pipe (|) to chain these commands together. I'll make sure to include these.
Service works. It's pretty nice. Here's some suggestions:

* The <title> tag doesn't get the subject line.

* I want a readable url. I would assume that my test url p34t3aaa44n could be a bit simpler. After all, the whole of YouTube is 11 characters. Something like /p34t3a/Title would be awesome. In base64 with 6 digit ids you still have a namespace of 68.7 billion posts.

* There should be special markup just for your site. Here's an idea, something like:

[theme:moonlight]

Look at the nice darkness.

* I don't use signatures but many do. This will be a hassle for them.

* And finally, choose a different name. As an American at least, "Urgeous" sounds awful. Something more in-tune to what the site is would be great. I spent about 10 seconds doing some whois queries; emailpos.com is closer to what I'd be expecting - and it's available. Smash two words together, drop a vowel; all the cool kids are doing it.
They're not uploaded from the phone (in theory at least).
Do you have more background info on that eye tracking study? I ask because the first thing that came to mind was that this was a more seductive photo. It seems to me most photos with a single person do in fact look at the camera. If they are not looking directly into the camera where should they be looking? Took a quick look at basecamp.com just to check since I know they did some testing with using photos with humans.

As for using stock photos I totally agree with that, it always comes off as fake.
In the past Apple was always laughing at the PC ads boasting processor speed and memory capacity.

The last occurrence of that would have been almost ten years ago. They've always highlighted their technical superiority in presentations.
Ah, the NSA doesn't need the internet for these things. They will have a custom backdoor that slurps up the fingerprint as soon as you plug in your phone to sync.
I'm a little unclear on what NFC does that BLE can't do. Are both technologies really necessary?
The exult project (http://exult.sourceforge.net/) has done much of the hard work in terms of making game data available. It would be neat to see a voxel engine transplanted into the old game.
A 64-bit virtual address space also makes for much more effective address space layout randomization.
Instead of using the iPhone 5 as the free option, they are discontinuing it and using the 4S as the free one.
Until their team of analysts finds a way in... or secret court orders it.
The leaks contribute to take away some of the awe. Yet, A7, M7, iOS 7, new camera, new flash, Touch ID. It looks new to me.
From what app is the screenshot in slide 25?
Probably time to move past the 3GS. I certainly don't want Apple to waste resources supporting phones that old.
About the ID fingerprints? Am I the only one so in constant fear and doubt that thinks this would be a great way of bulk collecting the fingerprints of ANYONE?
don't store ssh keys.
I'm not sure an IP whitelist gives you anything -- it provides a handy mechanism for escalating privileges, both for intrusions on a machine at the "known-good" IP and for unintended network access in general.
There's a possibility that the client may be a user of the porn site where he advertises.
Unless there is a "bug" in software that accidentally uploads all the data to secure servers under certain conditions, that for "some reason" was left over from debugging stage of the product. Unless we see source code and actual A7 + Motion chimp design blueprints that they use at the factory, I will always be skeptical. All that said I will be getting 5S anyways, because device looks rock solid.
What do you mean by color profile? Something like f.lux, where it changes the color of the screen?
Apple announces new iPhone5S Touch ID fingerprint sensor
On a 4" screen?
This is a goal that we're striving towards at Bitcast (http://www.bitcast.io). Of course, we don't have a full-blown course editor as of yet, but we've been initially focused on video-based courses targeted towards developers.

"Teachers should be able to focus on the teaching part, not the programming part." This resonates with us deeply, and it's one of the top pain points we've heard from teachers. Rudimentary platforms such as YouTube or blogging sites are not enough to effectively teach (and/or monetize content if desired).

I personally believe that this space will explode over the next 10 years as education continues to move online and the college loan bubble begins to burst.
Is growth hacking the future of marketing?
Is there a reason not to just use Tibco RV? Because all of these are long-solved problems.
I for one am totally satisfied by what a suit says on stage.
They've discussed processor performance gains in all the iPhone press events I can remember.
I shall use my middle finger then.
I think the "Touch ID" fingerprint matching that was just revealed is way more interesting than their performance improvements. I wonder why they chose to order the announcements like that.
It can cost real money foregone as the $300 million button article showed http://www.uie.com/articles/three_hund_million_button/

On the weekend I decided to try some boots from Zappos. They were bought by Amazon 4 years ago, and have "legendary" customer service. Not in my experience. You can login with your Amazon account, but then it asks for your name. Strange. I go to checkout and they want my billing name, street, city, zip, state, same for shipping, card number, expiry, cvc and who knows what else. Turns out that they aren't integrated with Amazon in any meaningful way.

I sent them an email about it - maybe I'd missed something. I got some nonsense explanation about it being for my security. Then they started spamming me about the abandoned shopping cart. At this point I discovered that each cs rep has some "humourous" boilerplate about how they are going to help you, before doing something completely unhelpful. They also don't keep track of replies (an id in the subject or just looking at the in-reply-to header would work) so each one starts a new ticket where a different rep doesn't look at the history and does a completely different unhelpful thing. I've now asked 3 times that they delete my account.
