Under Apple’s new iOS 8 TouchID still can be circumvented with cheap tricks, as shown in the video below. Yet, this gets more importance under iOS 8 as the new operating system allows both third parties to use TouchID as a security integration component and Apple’s payment services which will rely on approval for payments on consent via TouchID. Moreover, as the sensor can be tricked into establishing the ID without a real fingerprint, the vulnerability remains so high that relying on good old PIN’s may be the best choice for now.

The “white space” are those market opportunities your company must pursue even if it means disrupting your existing business model. Why Apple and not Sony? Why Netflix and not Blockbuster? Why Amazon and not Barnes & Noble? Because those businesses were simply unwilling to disrupt what at that moment was a working business model. They didn’t understand how rapidly the changes in our infrastructure were going to disrupt their business, and as a result missed out on a major new market opportunity.

Amazon today unveiled the FireTV, a $99 set-top box in the tradition of Roku and Apple TV that aims to tackle three main problems Amazon sees in competitors: performance, search and closed ecosystems. The box itself looks a lot like an Apple TV, as does the simple, seven-button remote with five-point control pad. It will support 1080p and Dolby Digital Plus surround via HDMI or Optical output. The box is smaller, though, standing just shorter than the height of a dime, and the remote features a microphone to support a voice search feature. But while the box and remote might look familiar, the experience it offers appears considerably different than what is available from Apple TV or Roku at the moment.
