Path uploads your entire iPhone address book to its servers 8 Feb 2012 – Singapore It all started innocently enough. I was thinking of implementing a Path Mac OS X app as part of our regularly scheduled hackathon. Using the awesome mitmproxy tool which was featured on the front page of the Hacker News yesterday, I started to observe the various API calls made to Path’s servers from the iPhone app. It all seemed harmless enough until I observed a POST request to https://api.path.com/3/contacts/a...  show all text

Tech writer MG Siegler just noted a remarkable fact: Apple's iPhone business alone is now bigger than Microsoft. Not Windows. Not Office. Microsoft. Think about that. The iPhone did not exist five years ago. And now it's bigger than a company that, 15 years ago, was dragged into court and threatened with forcible break-up because it had amassed an unassailable and unthinkably profitable monopoly. The iPhone also appears to be considerably more profitable than Microsoft. In the December quarter,...  show all text

Earlier, I linked to this set of three pie charts by Ed Bott, but it’s worth mentioning something else about them. The subtle point that it seems Bott is trying to make is that out of Microsoft, Apple, and Google, Microsoft has the best business because it’s the most well-rounded. (Meanwhile, Google has the worst because it’s entirely dominated by one thing: advertising.) At a high-level, that’s an interesting point to make, I think. But without context, the Apple chart is a little misleading. ...  show all text
