Re: Bigger picture

Their market, their rules. You know the risks when you spend serious person-years-$$ (?!?) or you're a bit too naive to be running a business.

Besides, by the sounds of it the app did nothing that the mobile site doesn't (except possibly generate revenue).

Re: Prices are more reasonable than the Nexus 6

LG and Samsung are Korean. Korea is not part of China.

Re: How dare you!

Because everyone uses the joke icon when they're being sarcastic....

Re: no-one does it or bothers catching the exceptions

Because the only thing that can go wrong when you call an external android service is permission denied.

Re: The judge still did me for Indicant Exposure.

An indicator that's not exposed is pretty pointless....

Re: @ Lost all faith...(was: @sabroni (was: ::yawns::))

"Anyone who actually needs secure email already has it." <> "it was readily available."

"It's HARD! to understand!" why you're arguing about this. Your first post clearly said that those who needed it already had it. You twist and turn like a mouthy smartarse hoisted by his own petard....

Re: Cookies are one of the missfeatures of HTTP

The fundamental issue here is the statelessness of http/tcpip. I'm not sure why cookies particularly get the blame for this, any solution that requires the client to hold some state is open to hijacking. Any solution with no client state at all has to treat you like it's your first visit every time you use it. If you log in it has to store a token to keep you authenticated, and whether you pass that as a header or as a cookie it's still effectively the same thing. Cookies are not the problem, statelessness is.

Besides, if all the hacker can do is change a cookie and that compromises the app then the app is being too trusting of it's input.

re: Joerg

Like Eadon for Apple instead of linux. DFTT.

@ AC, OP

Well Damm Mr. likes to slag other people off but doesn't post with a name, there's no excuse for posting that sort of personal attack AC. You slag someone off for being pompous then hide your own posting history. Why?

Grow a pair.

Re: Even if you had used the joke icon it wouldn't of worked.

No, because this kind of lazy, sexist bollocks is not funny. Just strangely prevalent in this mostly male forum. Or maybe you're all just as ironic as I am.....

Re: 4 letters, then 3 letters...

Fuck off?

I don't care.

I love it.

re: a cushy 5 year free holiday at Her Majesty's pleasure

Hmm, someone's a member of the party.... (be quick, it's only available for another 8 hours!)

Re: where as android needs months to bring all their users to that update

Most Android users don't get security patches however long they wait.

99.9% of all devices connected to all the corporate networks in the world are in this state.

A lot of windows devices are attached and are in the latest up to date fully patched state (as long as you don't count Windows 10 as a patch, obv...). We're discussing OSs, not all the additional code on the devices.

Not to mention the 50% of iDevices that are up to date.

Re: this is what you choose.

Regular security patches?

Re: Fact is, its not hard to find your favorite seller in any given set of search results

The discussion is about searching when you don't know who you want to give your business to. If you've decided already why would you be searching?

Re: I'll be supping some 'Surrey Nirvana' tonight.

All out of "Gandalf's Memory Stick" and "Wizard's Sleeve" then?

Re: Jesus

No, I think you'll find that while the cattle are lowing and baby jesus awakes, no crying he makes.

Re: Show me physical proof god exists

Duh! Look around you.

I guess you believe "everything just exploded into being" is a better explanation than "god made everything explode into being". They both sound pretty similar to me...

Re: lying twa*?

No. The mms thing shuts down the attack vector from an unopened mms but doesn't fix the underlying vulnerability which is in android's video player.

Re: I patched my MacBook Air...

I keep Refreshers on mine.

Re: Violated from looking at a dick pic?

People react differently to the same thing. Apparently you all feel fine with some random bloke who's close enough to bluetooth a picture of his cock to your phone. Me, i'd be a little freaked out by that. I can imagine some people might feel violated by it.

You don't get to decide how other people feel and when you say they're wrong all you're really saying is "i don't do empathy".

re: And enjoy this b*tch's red face...

Misogynist much?

Re: Leaky analogy

But back in the days when some people thought drunk driving was acceptable you might have been.
