  • U.S. Senate, Google ban Zoom days after its launch of 'security council'

    Creating a Security advisory council is a good step. One that loses all of its’ trust regaining value by choosing a former Facebook security officer to head it. Good grief!!  What were they thinking??  The individual may be qualified, but think about the optics. Facebook has a HORRIBLE track record where security is concerned.

  • Editorial: After disrupting iTunes, Spotify demands a free ride from Apple's App Store

    Your argument is that because the App Store cost Apple money to set up and continue to operate that third party app developers like Spotify should not complain about paying for it. I think you are missing the point. Both users and developers would benefit if there were competing app stores that Apple did not operate. Sure you would have to give up some security in order to use a third party app store but perhaps that is a choice people would like to have. You may choose to retain maximum security and pay Apple's 30% fee for apps and services. I may choose less security in order to gain the freedom to access a much broader spectrum of apps that allow me to do things that are currently restricted on the App Store. Perhaps I have one iPhone that I keep secure and another iPhone or iPad that I keep no personal data on but I use to scan my local network (something Apple recently shut down via its SDK).
    Sorry, I believe you're in the minority. The vast majority of Apple users want an easy place to get apps. Many people are concerned about security and want third-party apps to be secure. Allowing a non-Apple app store would require Apple to open up security, immediately causing malware and ransomware to be easily dropped in by these apps. It's happened on Android stores but of course those users could care less. Nothing is free in this world so Apple hosting the app store as well as the secure billing is well worth it. 
     Absolutely. If Apple were forced to go the route of the Google play store, I’d go back to using a flip phone. The primary reason why I refuse to use android devices is the lack of security. Apple devices are expensive, But I make a choice because I want to know that my data is secure.
