Cupertino to ban permissionless address book copying

Re: There are far better options.

That's not any better if the application doesn't handle the exception, it will just crash. Far better to return an empty contact list.

Re: Why not take a page out of Android?

That's also assuming the application doesn't just use one the known Android exploits to bypass the permissions system completely.

Ha ha. The only problem is, one of my mates is built like a hippo!

Steve the Cynic,

If the leopard is lazing in a tree there's a fair chance the hippo is lazing in water. I know more people are killed by hippos (mainly because people think they're so docile) but I'd rate my chances of outrunning or out climbing a hippo higher than outrunning or out climbing a leopard.

Google limits Android support for CDMA phones

"Seems you're not understanding what's going on Craigness, nothing to do with carriers..."

Actually it has a lot to do with carriers. What Google are saying is that the CDMA specific part of the Android stack is provided by the carrier or manufacturer of the phone and they (Google) don't have the legal right to include it in AOSP. What this means is that unless the carrier is prepared to release this into the project you won't get any custom builds from now, you'll need to rely on official builds. So this is precisely a carrier/ phone manufacturer problem. They are unlikely to release their CDMA binaries into the project so they need to step up and support them better.

Android users more likely to put out

It's probably a lack of self esteem that makes them do it. Buy an Android that is!

Now who could it be that posted this message? There must have been a LARGe number of people posting so early on a Sunday morning. We need Sherlock on the case.

If the app didn't delete the message you would, but it's possible the application deletes the message from the sent box to disguise it's malicious intent.

@The Fuzzy Wotnot Why do you want to know how old I am? Are you planning.....no it wouldn't be so funny the second time.

You've really got a problem with them being anonymous haven't you. What are you planning on doing, asking one of them out?

Apple might have done Samsung a favour. How much more widely might this problem have been reported if the Galaxy Tab had been on sale.

Android, BlackBerry phone owners favour Apple tablet

Assimilated! Where's the Borg icon when you need it ;-)

It's easy to tell them apart. The Samsung is the one dripping oil.
