So is this all leading up to this bozo suing Apple? It sure sounds like it does to me.

I doubt it since Apple gave him $300. They probably made him sign an agreement not to seek further legal action and hold Apple harmless. 

There are some cases of cyberstalking out there that are legit, but this sounds like Simon has some mental issues. If there are any current or former Apple employees that post here, I’m sure they can tell you similar stories of people who have mental issues and think they are being hacked. They could also tell you similar stories of people who were hacked by their exes.

Just be thankful to have good mental health.

One more step forward in the struggle with insulin dependent diabetes....

People who can't produce (enough) insulin need all the help we (or Apple) can give them.

Now all we have to do is make it so they can afford the insulin they need to stay alive without forcing them to move to another country.

Suggestion to Apple: Get ahead of this massive security problem. If anyone can side load any app they want onto their iOS device, that puts every other app at risk from data theft and other hacks. To get around this start working right now on an alternative version of iOS that users can install if they want to, much like the beta profiles you have  now. The alternative side loading open iOS has no Apple App Store. It has no access to iCloud, CloudKit or any other technology that could become compromised by apps that have not been through the app review process. Most iOS users (myself included) will opt for the secure version of iOS for their primary devices. For older, otherwise unused devices, the alternative open but unsecure iOS will be a lot of fun to play with. Think of it as another form of recycling. The open iOS does no not need to be updated as often as the main secure version because (duh) it's not secure.

Apple could let user choose to side-load in a settings option. Just like ATT. Google Android has been doing like this since the beginning of Android. And we have not heard any Android user hurt or complain about this. 

Then those of you who want to force side loading on Apple should move to Android and be happy. But no, you want to decide how Apple runs its business. Why?

Haven’t we learned that saying “people will never” makes us look dumb?

Whatever Apple is working on will be revolutionary and the usual haters will be out in full force.

”The iPhone will fail because it’s not a good email machine!!”

I’m a “hater” in this case ;-) But my problem isn’t about Apple. I’m sure they can make a great car. The question is whether the world needs a new car or something beyond that. Do we need Apple to improve the car experience? Or do we need something, as you say, revolutionary? 

If there weren't people who wanted to make things better they are, we'd still had to live in caves  ;-)

But now we have iCaves!  

If and when this car ever sees the light of day I'm anxious to see the interface. Tesla has been doing a pretty good job of effing their interface up and could use a bit of comeuppance from Apple!

Glad it got killed, per Mozilla's privacy concerns.

I don't care what they come up with next, as long as users have the right to refuse and not be grouped into any targeted advertising schemes whatsoever. Their business model is not my problem. I won't use a browser designed to make advertising easier at the cost of my interests.
