To be fair they just recently began using iPhones and iPod Touches in their stores for financial transactions. Previously they were using a POS (point of sale) system with (yes it's true) Windows
"why are you using hyperbolises to try and argue a point ?"Says the guy who just made the claim blackberries are 1% as useful as an iPhone...
Firefox was once a small browser, yet riddled with security issues even back then. But now it's bigger, and these security problems are catching up to it, to the point where it's a serious problem. There's lots of users there to exploit, making it a valuable target.The same thing applies to OSX. The security issues are plentiful, and are slow to be patched. They don't have a widespread problem from this YET, but every sign is pointing towards it happening, since their platform is growing every year. And as I mentioned, their software on the PC side is already causing problems. A few years ago, a Quicktime flaw combined with a company getting malicious ads on Myspace managed to infect thousands of machines.
@mrBitchI think you proved my point. I wasn't saying Blackberry was problem free, but that his "other phones have security through obscurity" point was kind of baseless.
FyberOptic, the reason you are full of s**t, is because you are implying that BSD is insecure, and we all know that's incorrect. All you do is spew out cliche yet never offer EVEN ONE example of your stupid assertions. Not one.You're a total joke, which I guess can be expected from a wannabe Mark Abene.
I said it was subjective.If the user thinks a spoon is better, it is. Others may think Macy's is better. It's their decision.To go back to a decent argument, a user may think the Blackberries' push email (and other) features are superior, regardless of whether the OS is not as swish as the iPhone or there are not as many applications (one could argue quality, not quantity there), so for them a BlackBerry is better. You may disagree (and you will given your past) and think the iPhone is the be all and end all.
Most US Government agencies have two networks. One for the internet, and one with the actual important stuff. You can't access the secure one from the outside.. it's not physically possible.
hah, he says he has blocked me because I asked him to provide one example to back anything up he has claimed.typical. i'm sure he wows the sales clerk at the local Best Buy with his "computer knowledge", but when he actually encounters someone with a clue, he runs with his little troll tail between his legs.
