Polish MP Returns iPad Citing Lack of Control

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday August 22, 2012 @02:14AM from the cloud-is-watching-you dept.

rysiek writes "Polish MP and spokesperson for one of Polish political parties Dariusz Joski returned his state-issued iPad, citing lack of control (Google-translated). Polish Free and Open Source Software Foundation (of Anti-ACTA fame) offered (free of charge, of course) to help him choose, install and configure Linux on his laptop, including setting-up disk encryption. We are still waiting for an answer from the MP." Another concern of his appears to have been a lack of security regarding communications with other government officials.

The MP probably doesn't realize that Apple has plenty of control over all iPads.
sounds like he might've had a sentient tablet by Trepidity · 2012-08-22 02:38 · Score: 5, Funny

From the Google-translated story, a quotation:
"Admin has access to everything. Tablet I am"
Sounds ominous indeed.
