 If Cupertino keeps pushing like this they will get Appled. They really have to be careful. They don't want to piss off a sleeping giant.

Sure, don't wake the sleeping giant or it will take its bat and ball and go play in another neighborhood. Wonder what they will do with the spaceship when they pack up and move?

I won't enable this feature since I want to keep some sms iMessages on my iPhone but not one my other devices.

New Zealand is being unfair to Apple. If anybody knows how to take care of its customers, it is Apple.

wow, you sound like Apple's helicopter mom. Apple is a big grown up corporation which must learn to follow the laws of the countries it operates in and does not need anyone making excuses or defending its lack of compliance.

Fuck you. And don’t ask for our money from our taxpayers,  in case if war come to your door. 

We give them something like $12,000,000 in tax dollars every year. That’s not including us paying 100% of NATO’s budget (which shouldn’t exist).

How much aid money does the US give Pakistan? Answer:  Between 2002–2010, US Congress approved $18 billion

Did any of you read the part about the economic class disruption these buses are assisting? Public bus stops, the kind that use public funded tax dollars are being used by private bus companies and possibly tech companies to shuttle their employees. Why must taxpayers subsidize companies like Apple and Google. I live in NYC and hyper gentrification has pretty much ruined the city I love. Google, Facebook and other tech companies are invading my residential neighborhood and lobbying city hall to change zoning laws which will allow for glass and steel offices building in our low rise, historic neighborhood. Community grass roots efforts are working to prevent this from happening but money usually wins in our capitalist society. Employees of Facebook are now living in newly built one bedroom apartments which sell for $1.5 million. A Catholic school, rectory and circa 1900 church were all demolished to make way for this condo. Meanwhile prices have soared as landlords know they can charge any price to get chain stores (something unheard of in NY until recent years) in commercial spaces, rent stabilized long term residents are either being bought out of their leases, or illegally forced out by gas and heating shut offs which extends for months. If you do not live in a major city you might not be experiencing this dramatic attack on how you live but I know that citizens of cities like San Francisco has suffered dearly from the tech boom. I pity the city which Amazon decides to gut. 

Finally, I do not condone shooting buses, however someone needs to disrupt the disruptors and bringing the fight more public is the first step.
