Put your money where your mouth is, I will bet £100 that this won't happen.

You say you won $10k, but how much money did you have? You said at one point you had $60k on the table so let's assume you had just that - if you put the entire 60k on something which has 7:6 odds then the odds of you winning are high but exactly what you would expect given the winnings compared with the bet.
When you play with the martingale strategy your odds of winning aren't any better, you just think they are because you don't realise your entire pot of money is actually at stake.
Most of the places it is used are not public facing stuff they are low level network systems which is what it was designed to be good at.
Many new system projects at Google are using Go over C and the trend is such that more and more new projects are using it.
>Go isn't very successful at Google
Go is used heavily for networking and server stuff at Google. The entirety of dl.google.com runs on go (ported from C).
It would have to be an OS update since applications don't have access to that stuff, even if signed with an apple key.
That won't work.
>Has Apple publicly claimed that they will also refuse to push individualized compromising code updates to devices on demand by gov't authorities?
No, and even though I strongly doubt the government would even try to do this and even more strongly doubt Apple would comply, their new tech (apple pay and touch ID use hardware support to even protect against this sort of breach which shows that they are certainly thinking about it). I'm pretty sure Apple won't even have the ability to silently push an OS update (if they did then someone could find out because it would be in the OS and then all hell would break loose) - it would have to be accepted by the target which means there is a reasonably large chance of detection.
- same size screen as iphone 5 & 5s
- really good battery life (STOP MAKING IT THINNER AND MAKE IT LAST LONGER!)
- some killer feature that justifies the ludicrous amount of money I will spend on a phone.
Apple control iOS so they could just release an update that disables crypto and leaks all the messages - your point is irrelevant since they can't trigger a resend without an update to iOS.
The GPU enclosures have been held up by Intel refusing to license them but not because of osx drivers, there are licensed thunderbolt peripherals that do not have osx drivers.
The current implementation of Google wallet stores your card details in a google server which protects against these attacks but is not a viable business model (google are making a loss on every transaction since they pay it and then bill the customer themselves).
A lot of people are comparing Google wallet and apple pay like they are the same thing - they are not. A phone with compromised firmware could leak sensitive data with Google wallet but not with Apple pay.
