    But it's true, isn't it?

    You have to look at the rest of this dear chap's posts and put them all together to see the pattern. Continuous, subtle anti-Apple comments and sorry, it brings the defensiveness out in me. :)

    He (she) also posts pro-Apple material. Typically, he can back up what he posts. Maybe I'm misguided, but I like KD's balanced approach. There are some folks here who just make up stuff, whether they are for or against Apple. He's not one of them.

    I don't think KD "picks" on Apple. But I agree, as mentioned above, he posts facts or at least informed opinions, as opposed to establishing a position and then cherry-picking headlines to support himself.

    Apparently so, "an intruder" successfully breached their dev servers:

    This from developer.apple.com

    Apple Developer Website Update

    Last Thursday, an intruder attempted to secure personal information of our registered developers from our developer website. Sensitive personal information was encrypted and cannot be accessed, however, we have not been able to rule out the possibility that some developers%u2019 names, mailing addresses, and/or email addresses may have been accessed. In the spirit of transparency, we want to inform you of the issue. We took the site down immediately on Thursday and have been working around the clock since then.

    In order to prevent a security threat like this from happening again, we%u2019re completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database. We apologize for the significant inconvenience that our downtime has caused you and we expect to have the developer website up again soon.
