(AAPL) devices for use on its networks, setting the stage for the maker of iPhones and iPads to compete with Samsung Electronics Co. and BlackBerry for military sales. The Defense Department said in a statement [Friday] that it has approved the use of Cupertino, California-based Apple's products running a version of the iOS 6 mobile platform. The decision eventually may spur a three-way fight for a market long dominated by Waterloo, Ontario-based BlackBerry.'" Also, Apple devices are best for uploading viruses to alien craft.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=+Apple+Mobile+Devices+Cleared+For+Use+On+US+Military+Networks%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F12N1gq2"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F05%2F19%2F224238%2Fapple-mobile-devices-cleared-for-use-on-us-military-networks%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/05/19/224238/apple-mobile-devices-cleared-for-use-on-us-military-networks?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/05/19/224238/apple-mobile-devices-cleared-for-use-on-us-military-networks?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2c21eb90/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664217976/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2c21eb90/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664217976/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2c21eb90/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664217976/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2c21eb90/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~4/tjRFSVv6RPQ" height="1" width="1"/>Sun, 19 May 2013 22:05:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2c21eb90/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C190C2242380Capple0Emobile0Edevices0Ecleared0Efor0Euse0Eon0Eus0Emilitary0Enetworks0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmtimothymilitary2013-05-19T22:05:00Z2siri-what's-the-best-way-to-launch-a-nuclear-missile?technology2,2,1,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2c21eb90/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C190C2242380Capple0Emobile0Edevices0Ecleared0Efor0Euse0Eon0Eus0Emilitary0Enetworks0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~3/_RDgKUd8SYs/story01.htmkenekaplan writes "In an interview with The Atlantic before stepping down as CEO of Intel, Paul Otellini reflects on his decision not to make a chip for the then yet released iPhone.

One of its main features is it has skins that can monitor your system activity. Thanks to my numerous meters, I see all CPU, disk, memory and network activity in real time. the C: drive meter. It is a circle split down the middle, with the right half lighting up to indicate a read and the left half lighting up for write activity. The C: drive was flashing a fair amount of activity considering I had nothing loaded save Outlook and Word, plus a few background apps. At the time, I didn't have a Rainmeter skin that lists the top processes by CPU and memory. So instead, I went into the Task Manager, and under Performance selected the Resource Monitor. Under the Processes tab, the culprit showed its face immediately: AppleMobileDeviceService.exe. It was consuming a ridiculous amount of threads and CPU cycles. The only way to turn it off is to go into Windows Services and turn off the service. There's just one problem. I use an iPhone. I can't disable it. But doing so for a little while dropped the CPU meters to nothing. So I now have more motivation to migrate to a new phone beyond just having one with a larger screen. This problem has been known for years. AppleMobileDeviceService.exe has been in iTunes since version 7.3. People complained on the Apple boards more than two years ago that it was consuming up to 50% of CPU cycles, and thus far it's as bad as it always has been. Mind you, Mac users aren't complaining. Just Windows users."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=iTunes%3A+Still+Slowing+Down+Windows+PCs+After+All+These+Years%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F10oGI8g"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fapple.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F05%2F15%2F0126252%2Fitunes-still-slowing-down-windows-pcs-after-all-these-years%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/05/15/0126252/itunes-still-slowing-down-windows-pcs-after-all-these-years?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/05/15/0126252/itunes-still-slowing-down-windows-pcs-after-all-these-years?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2bed89ef/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665028830/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2bed89ef/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665028830/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2bed89ef/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665028830/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2bed89ef/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~4/vot-vvTVvfI" height="1" width="1"/>Wed, 15 May 2013 02:13:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2bed89ef/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C150C0A1262520Citunes0Estill0Eslowing0Edown0Ewindows0Epcs0Eafter0Eall0Ethese0Eyears0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskilliphone2013-05-15T02:13:00Zperformance-is-a-luxuryapple0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2bed89ef/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C150C0A1262520Citunes0Estill0Eslowing0Edown0Ewindows0Epcs0Eafter0Eall0Ethese0Eyears0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~3/7oE6KusSoXA/story01.htmNerval's Lobster writes "Former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates displayed a bit of emotion when talking to CBS's 60 Minutes about Steve Jobs. The interview didn't focus entirely on the relationship between the two men, with most of its running time devoted instead to Gates's charitable efforts. But when the conversation shifted to their last meeting before Jobs's death from cancer in 2011, Gates&mdash;normally so cerebral&mdash;seemed a bit sad. 'When he was sick I got to go down and spend time with him,' Gates said, describing their meeting as 'forward looking.' Jobs spent a portion of their time together showing off designs for his yacht, which he would never see completed&mdash;something that Gates defended when the interviewer seemed a little bit incredulous. 'Thinking about your potential mortality isn't very constructive,' he said. Gates also praised Steve Jobs's marketing and design skills: 'He understood, he had an intuitive sense for marketing that was amazing.' In contrast to his subtle&mdash;and not so subtle&mdash;digs at the iPad over the years, Gates conceded that Apple had 'put the pieces together in a way that succeeded' with regard to tablets. Gates's magnanimity toward his former rival and Apple is a reflection, perhaps, of his current position in life: it's been nearly five years since his last full-time day at Microsoft, and all of his efforts seem focused on his philanthropic endeavors. He simply has no reason to rip a rival limb from limb in the same way he did as Microsoft CEO."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Bill+Gates+Opens+Up+About+Steve+Jobs%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F12pjZcb"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fapple.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F05%2F13%2F1356228%2Fbill-gates-opens-up-about-steve-jobs%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/05/13/1356228/bill-gates-opens-up-about-steve-jobs?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/05/13/1356228/bill-gates-opens-up-about-steve-jobs?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2bdca167/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664109889/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2bdca167/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664109889/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2bdca167/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664109889/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2bdca167/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~4/7oE6KusSoXA" height="1" width="1"/>Mon, 13 May 2013 17:15:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2bdca167/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C130C13562280Cbill0Egates0Eopens0Eup0Eabout0Esteve0Ejobs0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmsamzenpusmicrosoft2013-05-13T17:15:00Z9what-did-he-sayapple9,9,8,6,2,2,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2bdca167/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C130C13562280Cbill0Egates0Eopens0Eup0Eabout0Esteve0Ejobs0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~3/TvXRByPCDDU/story01.htmNew submitter ukemike points out an article at CNET reporting on a how there's a "waiting list" for Apple to decypt iPhones seized by various law enforcement agencies. This suggests two important issues: first, that Apple is apparently both capable of and willing to help with these requests, and second, that there are too many of them for the company to process as they come in. From the article: "Court documents show that federal agents were so stymied by the encrypted iPhone 4S of a Kentucky man accused of distributing crack cocaine that they turned to Apple for decryption help last year. An agent at the ATF, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 'contacted Apple to obtain assistance in unlocking the device,' U.S. District Judge Karen Caldwell wrote in a recent opinion. But, she wrote, the ATF was 'placed on a waiting list by the company.' A search warrant affidavit prepared by ATF agent Rob Maynard says that, for nearly three months last summer, he "attempted to locate a local, state, or federal law enforcement agency with the forensic capabilities to unlock' an iPhone 4S. But after each police agency responded by saying they 'did not have the forensic capability,' Maynard resorted to asking Cupertino. Because the waiting list had grown so long, there would be at least a 7-week delay, Maynard says he was told by Joann Chang, a legal specialist in Apple's litigation group. It's unclear how long the process took, but it appears to have been at least four months."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Apple+Deluged+By+Police+Demands+To+Decrypt+iPhones%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F10EucmI"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fapple.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F05%2F11%2F2220207%2Fapple-deluged-by-police-demands-to-decrypt-iphones%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/05/11/2220207/apple-deluged-by-police-demands-to-decrypt-iphones?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/05/11/2220207/apple-deluged-by-police-demands-to-decrypt-iphones?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2bcc5f6c/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664373448/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2bcc5f6c/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664373448/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2bcc5f6c/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664373448/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2bcc5f6c/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~4/TvXRByPCDDU" height="1" width="1"/>Sun, 12 May 2013 03:11:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2bcc5f6c/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C110C2220A20A70Capple0Edeluged0Eby0Epolice0Edemands0Eto0Edecrypt0Eiphones0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskilliphone2013-05-12T03:11:00Zatf-struggles-with-slide-to-unlockapple0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2bcc5f6c/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A50C110C2220A20A70Capple0Edeluged0Eby0Epolice0Edemands0Eto0Edecrypt0Eiphones0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~3/YWM_rsYzgl0/story01.htmmask.of.sanity writes "A researcher has found that Apple user locations can be potentially determined by tapping into Apple Maps and he has created a Python tool to make the process easier. iSniff GPS accesses Apple's database of wireless access points, which is collected by iPhones and iPads that have GPS and Wi-Fi location services enabled.

In their original press release, they called it 'revolutionary,' in typical PR fashion. As the service reaches its 10th anniversary, it seems they were actually correct. From The Verge: 'At launch, it was Mac-only and offered a relatively tiny catalog: 200,000 songs (it currently has 26 million). But it did have the support of the major record labels of the day: Universal, EMI, Warner, Sony, and BMG. The partnerships were key to helping Apple take control of music distribution &mdash; without the songs, the iPod was a nicely designed but empty box. ... Jobs certainly had his challenges. Vidich said he's the one who suggested that iTunes charge 99 cents per track and he remembers Jobs nearly hugged him. At the time, Sony Music execs wanted to charge more than $3 a track, according to Vidich. No doubt a $3 song price would have tied an anchor around iTunes' neck, stifling growth. 99 cents, on the other hand, was below the sub-$1 psychological barrier &mdash; and has continued to be an important price point for not only music but the wide swath of 99-cent iOS apps in the store. ... Apple bet that the majority of consumers wouldn't have an issue with its lock-in tactics, and it bet correctly.'"<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=iTunes+Store+Turns+10%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FZGxRQG"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fapple.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F04%2F28%2F0447211%2Fitunes-store-turns-10%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/04/28/0447211/itunes-store-turns-10?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/04/28/0447211/itunes-store-turns-10?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2b44a05f/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164016459993/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2b44a05f/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164016459993/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2b44a05f/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/164016459993/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2b44a05f/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~4/6ifNxINw58c" height="1" width="1"/>Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:21:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2b44a05f/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A40C280C0A4472110Citunes0Estore0Eturns0E10A0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskillmusic2013-04-28T12:21:00Z1will-celebrate-by-deleting-all-your-songs-againapple1,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2b44a05f/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A40C280C0A4472110Citunes0Estore0Eturns0E10A0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~3/9wWqzog5HvU/story01.htmhackingbear writes "The Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court ruled in favor of a group of Chinese authors, and Apple will have to pay them in excess of 730,000 yuan (US$118,000) for infringement.

While transferring tickets for WWDC is generally not allowed, an ambitious eBay seller is attempting to get $10K for the $1,600 ticket."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=WWDC+Sells+Out+In+2+Minutes%3B+Ticket+On+eBay+45+Minutes+Later%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FZPXTMA"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fapple.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F04%2F25%2F2026214%2Fwwdc-sells-out-in-2-minutes-ticket-on-ebay-45-minutes-later%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/04/25/2026214/wwdc-sells-out-in-2-minutes-ticket-on-ebay-45-minutes-later?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/04/25/2026214/wwdc-sells-out-in-2-minutes-ticket-on-ebay-45-minutes-later?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2b2dbc77/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164016386657/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2b2dbc77/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164016386657/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2b2dbc77/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/164016386657/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2b2dbc77/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~4/M4WG0yPW5H0" height="1" width="1"/>Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:05:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2b2dbc77/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A40C250C20A262140Cwwdc0Esells0Eout0Ein0E20Eminutes0Eticket0Eon0Eebay0E450Eminutes0Elater0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmtimothyapple2013-04-25T21:05:00Z4makes-you-crave-them-fortnightlyapple4,4,1,1,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2b2dbc77/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A40C250C20A262140Cwwdc0Esells0Eout0Ein0E20Eminutes0Eticket0Eon0Eebay0E450Eminutes0Elater0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~3/dtDCV6Mofso/story01.htmAn anonymous reader writes "In conjunction with its earnings report for the second quarter of 2013, Apple issued a press release announcing some major plans for its ever growing stockpile of cash.

Speaking to Wired, an Apple representative said the data is kept for two years after the initial query. "Here&rsquo;s what happens. Whenever you speak into Apple&rsquo;s voice activated personal digital assistant, it ships it off to Apple&rsquo;s data farm for analysis. Apple generates a random numbers to represent the user and it associates the voice files with that number. This number &mdash; not your Apple user ID or email address &mdash; represents you as far as Siri&rsquo;s back-end voice analysis system is concerned. Once the voice recording is six months old, Apple &ldquo;disassociates&rdquo; your user number from the clip, deleting the number from the voice file. But it keeps these disassociated files for up to 18 more months for testing and product improvement purposes." This information came in response to requests for clarification of Siri's privacy policy, which was not very clear as written. The director of privacy group Big Brother Watch said, "There needs to be a very high justification for retaining such intrusive data for longer than is absolutely necessary to provide the service."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Siri+Keeps+Your+Data+For+Two+Years%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F14CC2jt"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fapple.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F04%2F19%2F1946210%2Fsiri-keeps-your-data-for-two-years%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/04/19/1946210/siri-keeps-your-data-for-two-years?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/04/19/1946210/siri-keeps-your-data-for-two-years?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2aeef95d/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164016172835/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2aeef95d/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164016172835/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2aeef95d/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/164016172835/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2aeef95d/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~4/NEkaWNiGSq8" height="1" width="1"/>Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:48:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2aeef95d/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A40C190C1946210A0Csiri0Ekeeps0Eyour0Edata0Efor0Etwo0Eyears0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskillprivacy2013-04-19T20:48:00Zbut-i-didn't-give-her-my-dataapple0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2aeef95d/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A40C190C1946210A0Csiri0Ekeeps0Eyour0Edata0Efor0Etwo0Eyears0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~3/akOHW-c-rQc/story01.htmAn anonymous reader writes "A trader who last year made an unauthorized purchase of nearly US$1 billion worth of Apple stock has pled guilty to wire fraud, securities fraud and conspiracy.

The only goal on that list not yet funded is a tantalizing one. JonOomph writes "The lead developer has proposed a revolutionary new feature, which would allow users to offload CPU, memory, and disk cache to a local server (or multiple local servers), dramatically increasing the speed of previewing and rendering. The more servers added to the pool, the faster the video editing engine becomes (with the primary limitation being network bandwidth). If the final goal of $40k is reached in the remaining hours, this feature will be added to the next version of OpenShot." Like all Kickstarter projects, though, there's no actual guarantee that things will come to pass as hoped; ya pays yer money, and ya takes yer chances. Update: 04/16 16:53 GMT by T : Some hours remain, but they've crossed the $40,000 line. I hope the funding is adequate to support the outlined plans.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=OpenShot+Close+To+Funding+Final+Stretch+Goal%3A+Video+Editing+Server%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FZ0hixG"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F04%2F16%2F165203%2Fopenshot-close-to-funding-final-stretch-goal-video-editing-server%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://news.slashdot.org/story/13/04/16/165203/openshot-close-to-funding-final-stretch-goal-video-editing-server?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/13/04/16/165203/openshot-close-to-funding-final-stretch-goal-video-editing-server?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2ac99d64/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/163067799256/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2ac99d64/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/163067799256/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2ac99d64/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/163067799256/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2ac99d64/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~4/73lPvl97cdw" height="1" width="1"/>Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:05:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2ac99d64/l/0Lnews0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A40C160C16520A30Copenshot0Eclose0Eto0Efunding0Efinal0Estretch0Egoal0Evideo0Eediting0Eserver0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmtimothyopensource2013-04-16T16:05:00Z11now-that-would-be-coolnews11,11,5,3,1,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2ac99d64/l/0Lnews0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A40C160C16520A30Copenshot0Eclose0Eto0Efunding0Efinal0Estretch0Egoal0Evideo0Eediting0Eserver0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~3/dcrDMO6Ihfk/story01.htmAn anonymous reader writes "TechCrunch and The Verge are reporting that Apple is near a deal with Universal Music to provide a streaming 'iRadio' music service. 'Apple is expected to launch a web radio service similar to Pandora's later this year, provided that executives there can strike an agreement with Sony Music Entertainment as well as music publishers. Talks with Sony, which operates the third label, Sony Music Entertainment and Sony / ATV, the music publishing company jointly run with the estate of the late singer Michael Jackson, are said to not be as far along towards reaching a deal. ... As for the financial terms, Apple will not receive the steep discounts it had sought for the labels' music.' Apple's 400 million active iTunes accounts could give even Pandora, with its 200 million users, something to worry about. 'For startups and streaming music companies, this means looking closely at the competitive advantages offered by their own platforms and decided how best to position their own services. A key advantage, and one that will likely get emphasized by virtually everyone challenged by an iRadio, is cross-platform compatibility. Apple will likely be able to offer something along those lines through iTunes on Windows, but for the most part it'll be a strictly iOS/Mac affair. That, combined with personalization and recommendation engines, along with other value add features, will be the way to combat an iTunes streaming service, but no matter what, an Apple product will change the face of this market.'"<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Apple+Near+Deal+For+Radio+Service%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FXzOBGK"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fapple.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F04%2F14%2F0330234%2Fapple-near-deal-for-radio-service%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/04/14/0330234/apple-near-deal-for-radio-service?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/04/14/0330234/apple-near-deal-for-radio-service?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2ab23525/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/163287366649/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2ab23525/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/163287366649/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2ab23525/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/163287366649/u/49/f/647361/c/35028/s/2ab23525/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~4/dcrDMO6Ihfk" height="1" width="1"/>Sun, 14 Apr 2013 09:29:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2ab23525/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A40C140C0A330A2340Capple0Enear0Edeal0Efor0Eradio0Eservice0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskillmedia2013-04-14T09:29:00Z1iListen-to-your-iFavorite-iSongsapple1,1,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647361/s/2ab23525/l/0Lapple0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A40C140C0A330A2340Capple0Enear0Edeal0Efor0Eradio0Eservice0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdotApple/~3/6q0-E2ExN78/story01.htmredletterdave writes "TechNet, the trade association representing and led by dozens of prominent technology companies including Google, Apple and Facebook, has formally come out in support of CISPA, sending a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives. The letter said: 'We commend the committee for providing liability protections to companies participating in voluntary information-sharing and applaud the committee's efforts to work with a wide range of stakeholders to address issues such as strengthening privacy protections. As the legislative process unfolds, we look forward to continuing the dialogue with you and your colleagues on further privacy protections, including discussions on the role of a civilian interface for information sharing.'" The White House won't support the bill in its current form, but they plan to work with legislators on a compromise.
