Melatonin 13 years ago

I have had problems with chronic insomnia and tried melatonin — horrible nightmares. So bad I would lay awake in the morning a bit, just stunned at how horrible they were. No thanks.

Also, configurable after a few hours it can ask the password anyway. A trial and being compelled to place your finger on the phone goes way beyond that. Or if they're going to beat you over the head with a metal pile regardless to unlock then the difference between a passcode or your fingerprint becomes meaningless.

Lots of UX features are only really available when you go the native route, i.e the new "picture in picture" feature in the Android Youtube app.

Could you think of a less worthless feature to demonstrate with though? The YouTube app is getting so bad (certainly on iOS, I assume with Android too) that it's getting where the website will have a better UX than the native app shortly.

Same,

OS X 10.7.5 (11G63) Safari 6.1 (7537.66)

Actually, the data is encrypted firstly with a per-device key that is unique to the phone and unable to be accessed directly (unless you want to go decapping chips), then additionally with a hash of your pin or password. A copy of the data is useless unless you can get to it in an already unlocked state. An erase firstly deletes the encryption key entirely then begins a secure erase in the background.

So uncheck it?

Have I done something weird to my Mac? 10.7.5 Lion here, when I press the power button it comes up unchecked by default.

"Edit: since 10.7.4, the "Reopen windows when logging back in" checkbox has stayed unchecked if you uncheck it once, so the hacks below are not needed anymore."

Update your Mac.

The other option (on the iPhone) is to turn the volume down to zero. Even alarms won't sound then.

Scumbag commenter: has 35 character password for security, discloses precise length of said password publicly anyway.
