Tha is for the heads up!
Seems odd, the world we find ourselves in. The most despised computer company is the singular entity that does not track your personal information and will challenge the Govt over privacy rights.
Meanwhile, the “People’s Choice” makes no pretense that they are not spying on your personal email, texts or phone calls. They have been working with the NSA to bypass whatever security protocols are used by industry, and are working side by side with foreign entities who embed DOS attack malware within their products to attack American infrastructure from within.
Yet, these “patriots” cannot hate Apple more than they already do. It’s already at a psychosis level, and any factual information to show that Apple is actually doing “good” only serves to infuriate the psychopaths more.
You know, it’s funny; Back in the day I used to despise Apple. I was a PC guy. After my first computer (TRS-80 CoCo) I bought an IBM 5150. Had to take out a damn loan to buy it too. But after the MAC came out, no command line. It wasn’t a real computer.
Was a PC guy up until 2009, although I was getting tired of MS around 1998. Win 2000 was the last MS I used. (Had Vista that came on a ThinkPad for a couple of weeks before wiping it and installing Linux.
Then the iPhone came out. Finally, in 08/09 I bought my first MAC. It fit in my pocket! After many issues getting it to sync properly and consistently with iTunes running on W2K in a VirtualBox on my Linux ThinkPad, I bought an iMac.
Now here I am all these years later with an iMac, 2 Mac Minis, an original iPad, 3rd Gen iPad, IPad Air 2, two Apple TVs (3 & 4) and an iPhone 6.
I still have the iPhone 3GS that started me down this road. My GF lost the iPhone 5 I handed down to her when I upgraded to the 6.
She had to go out and get her own 6s. :-)
I’m happy with Apple. They work. And they do take pains to make them secure. And I think, in addition to all the engineering they put into the devices themselves, that their commitment to keeping things secure and private under the hood speak volumes.
Android is google. I don’t use google anymore. I’m not their damn product.
