The entire collection of items should be purchased by Apple and exhibited around the world where people can view one of the most significant technological movers and shakers of the late 20th and 21st centuries.

Alternatively, the collection could be donated by Apple and housed permanently at Bletchley Park, www.bletchleypark.org.uk , the birthplace of computing. An entrance fee and gift shop would help fund this heritage site.

no, they'll just laugh at all the dead white guys who were so frightened about...well, everything. 

More trashing white men.  How very tolerant and enlightened.  If, for example, it weren't for the 99 percent of dead white men on the Allied side in WW 2 this topic wouldn't exist...

If all those dead white men had not had legions of oppressed black men pressed into labouring the supply of endless tons of ordnance rather than fighting (don't give them guns!) then what do you suppose the majority skin colour of the beached corpses would have been? The USA had learned by Vietnam that sending greater numbers of 19 year old black's and hispanic's into combat was more socially acceptable than the loss of white teenagers.

White men have earned their trashing.

It'll be fun when people in 100 years or so look back at our time. They'll probably be furious to see how we squandered our freedom. 

I'm furious knowing that in 100 years time people will still believe they are free. The majority of "people" are captives of socioeconomic manipulation which is designed to encourage squandering.

Keep the FBI, NSA, GCHQ, MI6, MOSSAD, Aman and Shin Bet and any other government funded, police state departments out of our personal devices.

Okeeeey...but why did we need a Harvard University study and a cryptography expert to tell us something this obvious?

...The Harvard people aren't terrorists OR selling hardware....

You sure about that? Universities have external, contractual, commercial links with Defence Departments. I know, my University dept was regularly in conference with Defence Department staff, and myself subject to many NDA's. Furthermore, the logic has been known since the days of Colossus and Enigma. Thankfully, there are heroic whistleblowers, such as Snowden, interspersed throughout time, to keep those who care about Human Rights informed of such profound governmental abuse, the consequence for which, triggers headaches for themselves. Government Agencies are created for your inconvenience, they don't take kindly to being inconvenienced themselves.
