Steve didn't do everything right, by the way. Cook is right to do interviews that bring up questions related security in a public forum. These issues and political and need public awareness to be won long term. Not to mention that conversations on these matters which Apple's CEO on NPR advertise Apple's stance on this and bring about awareness of a great side of Apple to the general public.
Agreed. Also that the question of the Apple car caught him off guard, but I think his laughter was not nervous but genuine. It's his way of saying, in effect, "ha, ha, nice try."
It works well. The interviewer gets props for a good serve, doesn't mind when Tim smacks it back over the net.

I think it was a mixed reaction with nervousness and ha ha, nice try. It was the biggest poker tell he's given on the car thing and wouldn't translate well over a transcript. You could tell by his reaction he was caught off guard. You recovered well but it was obvious he has a strong hand.
If you look in the Privacy tab in Safari 9, they have changed the cookie options. And it’s not just a name change, because the default setting lets a *lot* more cookies through than the old Safari used to. So I think it’s a case of the CEO saying one thing (about privacy) and lower levels of management implementing something else.

1) Manage them, then. There's all sorts of good Safari add-ons to do that.
There is lots of good programming on NPR, for sure. To call NPR 'leftist' is an extreme 'rightist' thing to do, of course. Questioning and challenging the powers that be is, in my view, an essential part of the democratic process and as such NPR serves its role well as a public broadcaster. My guess is that if one day the US elects a 'leftist' government, and the mainstream media rally behind that government and become its left of centre mouthpiece, people will complain that NPR is too 'rightist'.
Really? Does radio pay me for the bandwidth my government gives them for free?
I always find it a tad ironic that Rush Limbaugh -- that intellectual bastion of the rightists -- mooches off my bandwidth. A public good that belongs to you and me.
Plenty of other stations to listen to while he is on in the market where I reside. I assume in yours too.
Do Apple Pay much tax overseas? From what I've herd they pay little tax in Europe thanks to the Irish office. But one good thing with not bringing the money back to USA is that they can spend it with good conscious overseas. Sweden is a small country but they still have three Apple stores. That must be overseas money the can't bring back home.

Not sure what you mean by 'much,' but Apple pays all the taxes that it is required to, overseas.
However, like any other US multinational, it minimizes taxes. If one believes in the goal of shareholder value creation, that is indeed the right thing to do. All major tech companies adopt an exactly similar strategy.
What compounds the problem is that US corporate tax rates are massively higher than that of the other industrial nations, and the US also has a habit of taxing the worldwide income of companies on profits brought back home (while most of the rest of the world only taxes territorial income). So US companies leave it outside the country until it is really needed back home, or borrow against it, with the result that less reinvestment happens in the US than might be the case if its tax rates were in line with that of other industrialized countries.

We ARE supposedly paid. Radio and TV broadcasters are required to offer free services valuable to you and me, "operating in the public interest" as it were, as a condition of using your leased-from-the-taxpayer bandwidth. The FTC just has very loose definitions of what types of programming satisfactorily meets that requirement. Once upon a time it meant allotting airtime to local public service groups or activities. Today the FTC accepts the argument from broadcasters that the public requirement can be met with their regular programming without giving up airtime.
'Coverage' of what? Domestic news? Global news? Business news? Arts and Entertainmemt news? Politics news?
I'll grant that NPR has a bit of a liberal bias (and their excessive focus on issues of race can rankle), but from your silly post, I am guessing that intelligently produced and delivered high-quality information creates congnitive dissonance in your life.
I assume you watch or listen to a lot of Fox News?
A bit of a liberal bias? You're being quite generous! But calling out NPR for its bias doesn't mean you get to presume to know someone (although you may be using knowledge of prior posts). You seem to use the term "cognitive dissonance" pretty loosely for someone so quick to judge someone else based on very little information. Is it that difficult to believe that someone can feel NPR is liberally biased, and not be a right winger/fox news watcher?

I don't think that's really the case, but I think that's the perception as the right has become increasingly more extreme, and more shrill.

This interview seems to me another example of Tim's fantastic leadership and genius. Not only is he providing information, but the message is very carefully delivered. To me his laughter seemed like a deliberate attempt to ham up the secrecy and get people more intrigued. He could have easily defused it by saying "we investigate many different things..", but he kept it going by refusing to even say that. I thought it was a great interview.

With due respect paxman, NPR is clearly biased left (In spite of this, they often have great programming). The left has been riding this idea that they are challenging the status quo in some self righteous endeavor, when in reality it's been nothing but quixotic rhetoric for quite a while. The democrats are just as "establishment" as the right, although they hide it better (in hypocritical fashion, I might add). The sooner we can accept this, the sooner we can find common ground, and actually do something about the establishment's disproportionate power and influence. Bernie seems to be focusing almost exclusively on these common ground issues, which is why I'm putting aside his rather extreme leftist views and supporting him. /rant

Who gave the government (or anyone, honestly) permission to own airwaves? Does someone own oxygen? The wind? Should I freak out if someone has solar panels because they're stealing my photons?
Because there needs to be control over who broadcasts using those airwaves, or you'll have a cluster fuçk (thanks to [@]SolipsismY[/@] for that spelling loophole) of entities trying to broadcast over one another on the same frequencies.

Bob Siegel is far and away one of the greatest interviewers, across any medium, in the US.

1) Manage them, then. There's all sorts of good Safari add-ons to do that.
2) Install something like Ghostery.
3) Stop whining.

Oh dear, you've picked up Solipsism's (rather crass) habit of numbering your points.
2. Nothing is worse than a stream of consciousness rant
Well, that's true.
