Re: IPA needed to remain competitive

Or hthey didnt......or Poes Law?

M man

Couldn't you just ask the defendant after you coach them.

"What your opinion of the evidence against you."

Def:"the IPA section 55 prevents me from answering this question truthfully"

In fact you could USE this as a defence even in cases where there are no evidence collected under IPA since denial that it was collected under IPA cant be gurenteed to be true DUE TO THIS LAW.

Once somebody gets off by answering this. I could see this law being removed pretty sharpish.

Here's an idea , (a bit mad) sign up pages should log in to your email address using the password you give them, if it succeeds then reject the password. Should negate the largest risk factor resulting from a breach, others getting into your email account.

What does google do...

"The best suggestion I've seen for finding out who's linking to your content is simply to ask Google."

Google strenth is in indexing references and links to sites and comparing who has the most/best.

your search results are driven by this information.

thier ads ride off the back off your searches

thier revenue comes from ads

If the web effectively did this by itself...it could distroy the root of thier power.

Android apps are flooding on to jailbroken Win10 phones

M man

Thing is,,,thats so Right. MS security beats google....

Oh the irony!

(Of course google is winning for exactly the reason (Wintel won the desktop race.

The flexibility and value off android allows you to do things that havent been invisioned by Apple Google and MS. ideas that are bigger than todays market.

But that flexibility and value come at a price, just like Wintel.

on phones

Wintel=Goog(le)Sam(sung)

Apple=Apple

Amiga/Atari etc =WinPhone.

And im afraid...this market will go the way off the PC market.

Apple will stagnate at the high end

Goog/Sam will flood the low end

Winphone will die and become collector items.

hurry up apple.

Apple my lose the "flakers" by making the 4S a rip off and delaying the 5.

i site in a team of 7

two have iphones.

one got thier 4 as a present so thiere dedication is "by default", being a devils advocate ive move thier pro apple stance to meh(although i think they are still pro)

the other got a 4S and was happy, but seeing my year old neo, a new SIII, SII, HTC one and even the xperia mini all do somthing his phone cant do seems to be wearing, he is now, id say 49% happy with his phone.

if apple delay he will come to the dark side.

actully a BSOD is MORE usefull, window 98 crashed, made the user aware it was unrecoverable, and then advised what crashed and where.

Win8 crashed......

what are the odds error screens were prevented from initalising, the BSOD video was a PR disaster, not suprised if MS wanted to avoid a repeat of that, the fact they had a spare about suggest the preped for this.

hmm..

what are you critising?

that try paraphrasing your posible problems

"Phew! That sounds like a lot of faff...."

>and you work in IT???...faff is sometimes half the fun...maybe you work in marketing(shilsRUS maybe)

"apps to manage your apps?"

>or...apps that give you more option, to run the apps how YOU like it.

Should users really have to worry about caches and cpu utilization and all that? Wasn't this the whole problem with Windows Mobile?

>No, unless they want to of course and working in IT..I WANT to.

Shouldn't Android "just work"?

>Yep, it does.

Looking at these app suggestions just makes me want to never go within 10' of an Android phone.

Because.....? as you seem to not have been very clear WHY, maybe its the technical side you see on a technical site is overwelming your marketing brain?

Seriously. This is supposed to be a modern, consumer-oriented OS?

....that also has added flexibitiy.

i'll let the droidtards point out why (or if) these app dont exist on other platforms.
