If money is not a big issue, why not consider cross platform solutions such as Wikitude?

In the end, the answer is "it depends."

Yeah. It doesn't work on my Note 3. Samsung disabled copy & paste in the Emergency Call dialer.

The author clearly didn't do his research, simply assuming that the vulnerability affects all Android devices:

> But there's no telling when it'll reach Android devices made by Samsung, LG and others. Blame the Android's fractured updating system, which is slowed down by phone manufacturers and cellphone network carriers.

My guess is that just refers to higher end models.

> Whether you're 70 or 100, you will be frail, dim-witted[1], and unattractive

That perspective seems self-centred.

As long as he can still be a source of joy to people around him and makes the world a better place in his own way, I'd say it's a life worth living.

> it requires a specific (common, but not universal) set of circumstances to escalate it to code execution.

Man in the middle attack does not require code execution because the data is already available.

In a sense, this bug is like having part of a keyboard sniffer already installed for you.

The intro video already has a few red flags to show that he doesn't know what he's talking about (or he's not being honest):

- He considers the 240x240 display an HD display

- He claims the watch has 4GB of RAM

His Kickstarter page is so full of BS materials that anyone with just a little bit of common sense and technical knowledge about smartphones should be able to tell this is not a legitimate project.

I hate it when apps don't feel 'native' for the sake of cross-platform consistency. It's stupid.

4 MB. It's quite mindblowing to think that now a low-end laptop has 1,024 times more RAM.
