  • Polish opposition lawyer thanks Apple for strong encryption amid corruption case

    Yeah, for how long…
    …Apple cracked the door open, now governments will drive a wedge into the crack.

  • Purported 'Apple Watch Series 7' renders show larger speakers, iPhone 12-style straight ed...

    As much as I like the straight edges on the phone (e.g. to stand it on edge) on a wearable it means shaper corners (e.g. when wearing it for sleep tracking in bed have fun with non-rounded edges), more nicks and wear, as friction and contact is reduced to much smaller surface areas.

    NOT a good idea.

  • Apple sees rise in departures from Health, iCloud teams

    Those people pessimistic about Apple’s future should leave, they would drag the company down with their attitude. 

    Visions don’t grow from pessimism.

    If visionaries leave, because internal bureaucracy blocks their progress and crushes their dreams, well THAT would be problem.

    And the entitled bunch who think they could work remotely while still cashing in on high Silicon Valley salaries: good riddance, entitled brats, draining Apple’s coffers. Employees exist to SERVE the company, not the other way around; that’s why people get paid, after all. If the company were there to serve the employees, like some seem to think, the company would need to get paid.

    Spoiled brats having an issue with SERVING and servitude, but yet wanting money and safety…
    …if you don’t want to serve, open your own business, and look how far you get without SERVING your customers.

    Maybe apple should offer to pay their rent for the next 12/24 months
    Apple pays their rent: it’s called salary!

    You know, the money you get to pay for life’s necessities: food, housing, healthcare.

    Or do you think you get paid for life’s luxuries? 🤣

  • Apple's Federighi says child protection message was 'jumbled,' 'misunderstood'

    The matter is very simple: at any time, the very same system can be extended to anything else, simply by changing/updating the databases; which can happen both as a matter of Apple’s choice or government pressure.

    A system that can identify child porn can just as well be used to identify the Dalai Lama, Winnie the Pooh, weaponry, gay porn, bongs, Muhammad caricatures, political and religious symbols, etc.

    It’s one thing to scan things that are shared (FB, Twitter) and things that are private (cloud storage of files and photos).

    It’s one thing to scan on a server, where government can gain access undetected anyway, and scanning on a phone “as part of the uploading process”, which is still scanning on the phone, with only minor code changes required to scan preemptively “to improve performance”, etc.

    Hands off our phones, and end-to-end encryption of all iCloud contents, including backups.

    It is NOT the duty of technology to make government snooping (regardless of under which pretext it happens) easy, it’s the duty of technology to protect an owner’s data, regardless of what it may be.
