But it's neither an infection no a virus. It's a bit of crap software that the user downloaded, and typed their admin password to accept and install.
If people are so dumb to fall for the fake software, then they should either stick to the app store or they're just facebooktards and it doesn't matter anyway as they do nothing of consequence.
From what I read, this is just a cache file stored on the device.
Using this cache file actually reduces the chance of tracking as it reduces the number of network transactions. Nobody has access to the cach unless they have physical access to an unlocked device or an unencrypted pc backup.
I sm happy to be proven wrong if anyone knows better.
I would agree with this if Apple have a proper clear out of dross based on ratings or having nobody download the apps.
if the app just opens a stream that you could open in Safari and displays a logo then why bother?
There are single station apps like Radio Javan, which cover just that station, but a truly fine examples of how value can be added to a 'single station app, without it becoming a bloated portal.
Since the shoe bomber days, I have always removed shoes at Heathrow, but 3 weeks ago, I saw several people not take their shoes off and just show them, so I did the same. I think if they are metal-free you are OK, but if they have metal eyelets etc... you have to take them off with your belt, watch etc... Best to get some suitable flying shoes.
I quite like this and prefer SPACE BAR to scroll down (on Mac OS).
but I hate the new google image search. With multitouch scrolling it's just a mess, as the pointer drags over images as they cascade up and they inflate and deflate all over the shop.
Sadly, many of these websites have been taken to their evolutionary conclusion and yet the idle hands of their developers are now making mischief. ebay is another fine example, ruined by continuous meddling from bored staff.
How can 10Mb, 30Mb and 50Mb be increased to ...

"Uploads for customers on the most expensive "XXL" tariff will be accelerated from up to 1.5Mbit/s to 5Mbit/s. For "XL" subscribers the upgrade will offer uploads at 2Mbit/s, compared to the current 768Kbit/s. Theoretical maximum upload speeds on "L" and "M" packages will double from 512Kbit/s to 1Mbit/s."</i>
In Iran, most vehicles use CNG, so nothing new here.
Using NG and converting it to electricity (just like a power station) - nothing new here.
Getting paid ridiculous sums of money for doing it, because it on an efficient small scale. It doesn't make economical or environmental sense any way you look at it apart from the wallet of the EU scammers. The only thing of note is the scamming of money!
What idiots would put money on a "recall" for a minor usage niggle?
Companies only recall when forced to due to a significant safety defect.
The best people can hope for is normal warranty repair/replace or a repair extension program (SIC) as Apple call it.
There will be no damn recall.
