I've seen this advice all the time but somehow I wonder how did they get their first thousand visitor. Did they do something like reddit and have bots filling up the database until they got the ball rolling? I'm genuinely curious.
Well said. I think the deceiving part is the compiling/sandboxing environment phones have. New developer don't really know what's happening when they hit the 'Build & Run' so they can't understand that the key value they are storing are in plain text somewhere in the phone easily extractable.
It's crazy to think that a developer would publish an application that would store username/password in clear text. iOS has a keychain API that would require maybe 3 hours of work to make it work/test. I'm sure Android has something similar.
I hear him, Internet could become a caste system for businesses. But from what I understood, the ruling was more about the FCC trying to bend rules to accomodate everyone with carrier types (common carrier?). Yesterday's ruling raised awareness but the game is far from over.
I wonder if that treaty has any effect on anything. Signing parties exclude Japan, New-Zealand, Russia, Chile, Ecuador and all central america. Seems like this is one of those treaty done just to say: 'Look we tried, but it's complicated, [yada yada yada]'.
Those kind of experiments are so crazy, in a good sense. I wonder how different it is to actually seeing, and isn't there technology today that can give eyesight to blinds? Unless this is meant to be used by people who have had injuries to their eyes
