Are you calling Google Keyboard the stock keyboard?

EDIT: It's an honest question. If you're not going to answer or don't know, shove the downvotes up your ass, OK?

He/she is talking about the standard iOS keyboard. Please be more civil.


Wow, someone answered. I just had to be uncivil... FFS


Me answering you was despite your rudeness, not because of it


"It started as a group of teenagers writing NSA-grade exploits intended to spread software freedom," said a former Apple employee

It wasn't them who were sloppy programmers, it was the teenagers who were writing NSA-grade exploits... SMH Apple employees need a reality check...


You think very highly of the NSA.

There's been plenty of "NSA-grade" exploits recently leaked, and they didn't seem significantly more complex than what jailbreakers use.


And I'm pretty sure what the apple developer who called the jailbreaks NSA-grade meant was that NSA was the pinnacle of professionalism.


I look forward to hearing about your contributions to the jailbreak community.


(I am pretty sure that person was not insulting what people in the jailbreak community do, but instead was poking at the idea of that Apple employee "shifting the blame" from "I can't believe that Apple managed to fix that wrong three times in a row... are they incompetent or something?"--a thought process we have all had about many of the bugs in dyld over the years ;P--to "damn those meddling kids and their stupid decompilers".)


I liked the part where they discarded them all after using them to build the most deadly weapon ever.

Accusations of communism and disloyalty continued to dog the couple, especially with the dawn of the Cold War. Oppenheimer himself battled similar rumors, largely because his wife had at one point joined the Communist Party; in 1954, despite swearing loyalty to the U.S., his security clearance was revoked.

Charlotte Serber likewise struggled to obtain another high-profile librarian job. Her application to work in the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory was rejected because she couldn’t get clearance, probably because of her political background.

Let that be a lesson for all the IT guys who work for the NSA/CIA/DoD.


Let that be a lesson for anyone that wants to work for or with the us government.


I've read about this before and it just saddens me to no end. These folks completely dedicated themselves to their work and the success of the project, and uprooted their lives and lived in secrecy for years. In my opinion, they were as much heroes as those returning home from battle overseas.


The Soviet Union duplicated the A-bomb in record time due to spies on the project. That helped threaten the entire free world and kept hundreds of millions enslaved.

Managers of the Manhattan project had every reason to be concerned about workers who were or might be communist sympathizers. They just didn't find the right ones.


Nice to see cell phones don't cause interference with the systems aboard airplanes... SMH


rogue, not rouge.


badass...


What about 4chan? As soon as they found out... Trolls, trolls everywhere!


I don't think there are that many troll-shaped bricks...



I stand corrected. :D


I was talking about 4chan users trolling the system with fake data =P


Too noisy


You and every lawyer.


Why would you need to lie? You're not even forced to say anything besides your name and address. Silence is your right.
