you are on a political website and have been for some time and yet you never post anything political. Always pumping up Apple. Now do you come here for political news and info , or do you even have a candidate on who you support?
Free Republic is politics only?? who knew, guess we have to stop posting about hurricanes and tornados and riots and shooting and football...........
BTW I saw a post about windows earlier, did you jump on him too??
Get real, I for one appreciate Swordmaker keeping me informed about these things and thats why I’m on the ping list!
Bullcrap. I’ve seen his numerous posts on the FBI vs Apple litigation. This story is political as hell. AND in any case, you aren’t the hall monitor so STFU.
Sukhoi posts a million airplane stories. Some catholics post Catholic theology things throughout the day. Some people post a lot of stories about Astronomy and physics.
We get stories about music, old movies and art.
Two stories down is a woman winning 10 million on penny slots. Two stories past that is a warning to avoid a kindle app in windows 10 or it’ll brick your machine.
So apple products is his thing, buzz off. All politics and nothing else makes manc a dull boy.
I have posted lots of political things. You just don't see them because you don't pay attention. I also maintain several PING lists, one of which happens to be the Apple/Mac/iOS/iPhone Ping list which has over 750 active Freepers who have asked me to keep the posted on news associated with those subjects. THEY outnumber YOU.
That being said, how does an article about a VULNERABILITY in iOS "pump" Apple? I bet you didn't even bother to read the article did you? You just jumped in and knee-jerked reacted with an Apple hate reaction, didn't you?
A clearer picture began to emerge on Aug. 10, when Ahmed Mansoor, a prominent human rights activist in the United Arab Emirates, who has been tracked by surveillance software several times, began receiving suspicious text messages. The messages purported to contain information about the torture of U.A.E. citizens.

But this is not political? Man Child, we were really fooled! Honest! ;-)
Exactly how is informing users, many of whom visit this site using Macs or iPhones, harming you? If you do not like it; don’t read it. Liberals always seem intent on censoring what others say, ever notice that?
This neither pumps Apple, nor insults any other product. It’s simply a notice that some evil doers have found an exploit and Apple has released a patch. If it doesn’t apply to you, then you need do nothing. Meanwhile, others may appreciate the heads up.
