Les GAFAM étant des GAFAM, il n'y a rien de bon à attendre d'eux.
It’s not a secret we love robots here at BLR, so we wanted them to be the heroes in our latest promo clip. Luxury cars with powerful engines to drive through roads under severe speed restrictions, cable TV that allows us to pay to watch all kind of sports, all from our comfortable sofa, and of course, hyper expensive cell phones that do almost everything but making a decent phone call.
Qu’il est ironique de constater qu’une entreprise comme Apple, si vive à défendre ses propriétés intellectuelles, base pourtant la majorité de ses revenus sur une « invention » qui regroupe en fait de nombreuses techniques et idées copiées de nombreux autres objets et concepts.
les Français de QuarksLab (Pod2G et GG) ont mis en ligne une vidéo où on les voit intercepter des messages échangés via iMessages à parti de 2 iPhones et les modifier...
HOW : http://dasalte.ccc.de/biometrie/fingerabdruck_kopieren?language=en
The biometrics hacking team of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) has successfully bypassed the biometric security of Apple's TouchID using easy everyday means. A fingerprint of the phone user, photographed from a glass surface, was enough to create a fake finger that could unlock an iPhone 5s secured with TouchID. This demonstrates – again – that fingerprint biometrics is unsuitable as access control method and should be avoided.
The hacks related to Apple involve a lot of complexities.
Apple malware: it's everywhere you don't want it to be, like in your computer. Or your browser. Malware usually has something to do with Java and Java applet-based applications. This week's latest Apple malware scare is no different. Over the past few days, there have been numerous reports about the Flashback.K, Flashback.K, a Mac trojan that exploits a critical Java vulnerability.
Apple has now issued the second software update this week in order to patch the vulnerability in Java software that allowed the malware to spread to up to 600,000 Mac computers.
Non, je ne vais pas télécharger ton application mobile de merde !

C’était mieux avant ?
Tom Morris souhaite juste lire un article de presse. Sauf que la procédure pour y arriver n’est pas la même selon qu’il se trouve sur bon vieil ordinateur ou sur son clinquant smartphone (ici un iPhone).
Alors Tom Morris en a marre et nous le dit sur son blog dans un style qui ne fait pas dans la dentelle !
How we used to read the news, back in the era of the Web:
Go to newspaper website.
Click on story.
Read.
How we read news in the era of fucking stupid pointless iPhone apps.
Go to website.
Be told you aren’t allowed to read the website.
Be redirected to an App Store.
Download the app. (This may involve typing in a password. Which may involve shuffling over to your password manager app to find your password.)
Wait while a multi-megabyte file downloads over your temperamental, expensive 3G connection.
Open the app up.
Familiarise yourself with an interface that has cryptic, weird touch affordances that aren’t actually revealed to the user and behave ever so slightly differently from every other similar app.
Struggle as the badly-implemented statefulness gives you a spinning loading wheel (on iOS) or flashing progress bar (on Android) because you had the audacity to use your mobile device on a slow or unreliable connection.
Attempt to find the story you wanted to read using a layout and information architecture that’s completely different from the layout and information architecture of the website that you’ve grown familiar with, because some arsehole decided that the process of reading the electronic equivalent of a newspaper needs to be “disrupted” because he’s been reading far too much Seth Godin or some other bullshit.
Realise that the app shows you different things depending on whether it’s in landscape or portrait mode. Now you can look like an utter nob on the Tube rotating your iPad around so that you can zoom further into the Page 3 stunna’s tits.
Not be able to share the story with your friends because it’s not a page on the web with a Uniform Resource Indicator. Because why do you need universal addressability when you’ve got shiny spinny touchy magical things to rub your sweaty greasy fingers all over?
Take time to download updated binary files the next time the application is updated in the App Store, that’ll provide you “new functionality”, even though there is no fucking functionality you actually want other than reading the fucking news.
If you are on Android, be sure to install some anti-adware software in case the app comes with some delightful bit of creepy privacy-intruding out-of-app advertising.
Give up, go to newsagent, buy paper edition, throw smartphone off a fucking cliff and start a letterbomb campaign against all the idiots who thought that turning newspapers into “apps” was a good idea.
In the “web vs. apps” war, I think you can infer which side I’m on. I wouldn’t download a BBC app or an NPR app for my computer. Why would I want one on my phone? Do I buy a separate radio to listen to different stations? No. The functionality is the same, the only thing that differs is the content. Apps ought to provide some actual functionality, not just blobs of content wrapped up in binary files.
We ran a few tests and this is what we found: most files arrive bit-for-bit identical compared to the files that were sent. But sure enough, MP3 files were downgraded considerably. The 5.12 MB stereo 228 kbps file I bought from Amazon was downgraded to 1.4 MB mono 62.4 kbps on receipt after transfer through Messages.
Why is this happening? We're honestly not sure and I'd rather not speculate. We've reached out to Apple for comment but do not expect a reply.

Block camera could be prevented by simply setting a “geofence” around a particular location, whether it’s a movie theater, celebrity hangout spot, protest site, or the top secret rooms...
In June of last year, we reported on an unsettling patent filed by Apple that would allow certain infrared signals to remotely disable the camera on iPhones. It showed the potential downsides of bringing cameras into the world of wireless connectivity, which appears to be the next big thing in the camera industry. Now, a newly published patent is rekindling the fears of those who don’t want “Big Brother” controlling their devices.
