No kidding! Mine does video calls!
I've given up wearing it, though, because it's pretty much Dick Tracy in size, too, and I like to wear slightly more refined stuff, that doesn't catch on every door jamb, lamp post, and desk.

So many numbers making my skin crawl with possible misleading assertions.
Quote: determined that 16 percent of American adults, or about a sixth of the group
Suggestion seems to be based on a mix between sales and some group study.
But the sales indicate "smartwatch" - which might not be as clear cut as what people associate that with. Is a "dumb" fitbit grouped into that classification from the sales people to inflate numbers. What of people that replace after 1 or 2 years, potentially halfing the number of "American adults".
And what the hell is that kind of classification "American adults"? Is that American citizen adult of 18+. Which would be some amazing study to be able to separate out the sales figures of true blood Americans and that of foreign posted sales. Or do they mean "Americas" geo-location covering both north and south America? Cause that would be an impressive number.

Researchers have found a way to run malicious code on systems with Intel processors in such a way that the malware can't be analyzed or identified by antivirus software, using the processor's own features to protect the bad code. And we're all ever so grateful

Quote: In other words, as far as Intel is concerned, SGX is working as it should, protecting the enclave's contents from the rest of the system. If you run something nasty within the enclave, then the company makes no promises that bad things won't happen to your computer; SGX simply isn't designed to protect against that.

It's beginning to look like we don't need hackers with tech skills, any more; "researchers" are doing all the R&D and development for them.
Who has oversight on these activities? It seems completely ungoverned, with guys just "researching" ways to allow hackers into other people's computers.
They need to be strongly reminded that facilitation of a crime makes you party to the crime.

That would depend on whether their invention has any purpose other than criminal activities. Would the inventor of a new type of steak knife (e.g. one that cuts steak better than existing knives) be held responsible for the murders committed with the knives?

A steak knife is not designed to kill people.
These guys are, without any oversight whatsoever, creating tools to do harm.
I do not believe that you can't see the difference.

Maybe.

Lemme guess, it's sponsored by a start-up called "Picanos", which is run by a Dr. E. Watson.
What could possibly go wrong?

I imagine that's only the tip of the iceberg with how your GPS data is being tracked. I can just imagine the cocktail party conversation: "I write software that tracks your location and displays sale prices when you're at least 50 feet away from the store, but when you're in the store, it jacks up the price. I mean, you're in the store at this point, sucker, so you'll just dish out the extra cash, right???"
