Opening Bluetooth access to apps running in the background would be a security disaster.    It is comical that a "Digital Technology Minister" would be demanding it.  

It turns out this guy has no programming or software experience.   And, very limited business experience.    He's never developed an app in his life.   A true socialist bureaucrat appointed to help lead digital technology in France.   LOL

Turns out Socialists are authoritarians... who knew?

What is it with Americans and their hatred of other country’s economic systems. Most of the “socialist” countries in Europe have far fewer people in jail than the US. “Authoritarian” Sweden didn’t even have a lockdown.

Europe has enough elements of open society to survive longer than more robust collective systems (no doubt based on their dalliances with them around WW2), but has only really done as well as it has riding on the coattails of American dynamism. And they know it, hence their resentment of American companies and the EU project itself. Thankfully the Poms have (belatedly) worked it out.

Yeh, right, I would think most dynamism is coming from the East these days. As I said above the idea that social democracy leads to "authoritarianism" is clearly nonsense. The US has more people in Jail per capita than anywhere, including all dictatorships.  By my calculations socialist Norway has 0.072% of its population, in Jail and the Government is > 50% of GDP. The capitalist US has 0.7% or ten times as many people locked up per capita, the highest incarceration rate in the world. It turns out that using the State to give free health care or using oil money for the benefit of society rather than billionaires, isn't in fact a road to tyranny.

"Eastman also alleges wrongful termination over attempts convince a manager to fix a Disk Utility flaw prior to the release of OS X Yosemite. The company categorized the engineer's communication as unprofessional and inappropriate."

Is this potentially also an important a story, perhaps around what may have been culture change at Apple and a macOS release based on calendar (operations) vs merit (design) after 2011...?

Worrying.... A lot of big companies hire mediocre management as they get larger, who themselves hire mediocre managers down the chain. It may have been that Eastman was fairly abusive though, dont know

I think Apple does care too much about privacy, it is making very little headway in convincing the average Joe that they are better at this than google. ( Its obvious here but we are more industry aware). Nevertheless Apple is correct here.
