6 Digit pass-codes are only a minimalist approach to attempt securing their devices.

It is better than 4 by a long shot and the cries if they forced users to switch from the simple code to alphanumeric would be immense

And there isn't any RDP type access to these devices where that access can be attempted remotely. That's a physical input device with a ten attempt limit. It's far more secure than the same thing on an SSH password, for example. I think that people are thinking of it in terms of different types of security.

@scottalanmiller people still pay to play EvE online, which is just another job. Trust me I know

Way too much time and money spent on that game. So much fun.... so much work :(.

I think the goal of this feature is to bury post that are inappropriate. That Facebook is attempting to filter out content based on user input, rather than everything getting posted to your wall.

Or, more likely IMHO, it is to encourage debate making people spend more time no the site.

Cisco routers in four countries have been discovered to have a SYNful malware variant creating back doors in them

I read about this already, but that neither that article nor the one you linked state clearly how the routers had the malware loaded onto them other than to state they were logged into with default credentials.

I've been wondering about that myself. Was this factory loaded, loaded from a shipping location, at customs, simply through online attacks.... any potential options.

No Mac version, they don't have a working Mac build process.

Wow, their website is terrible!

With that last post You are comparing phone to tablet. Two different things.

I see how you have drawn that conclusion but I don't believe that is what was originally intended.
Look at it a bit like this:
1st image Apple promote ditching the stylus
2nd image Apple have built a stylus (type device) and are promoting its purchase.

If anything, it's an unfair comparison between touch screen technologies

Gig Wireless came out but GigE switches became ubiquitous. So my guess is that this will drive 10GigE adoption even faster. Wireless has low reliability and high latency, the people who want 10Gb/s networking casually will go wireless and those that want it rock solid will go wired. I'm guessing this will drive more applications to leverage it and push adoption faster.
