...among the/. comments. Despite Apple's blunders in this list being few and not really noteworthy, it naturally does not discourage the "grannies of/." to leap out from under their stones with their tag-sticks.
does it really take speculation and rocket science to add 1 and 1?
a nice fasade of 100% goodwill, openmindedness, concern about privacy and freedom and the
users of the net while at the same time offering superb services for "free" gets you far, but, it doesn't get you any money.
ofcourse, it's not all thin air. after all, google really DO offer great services to the users, but they are not "free"...
today, google sits on the worlds largest - and quickest growing - intelligence gathering about the common man
(and others) using the internet. through all of their "free" web services; the search engine, the email, the calendar,
the spreadsheets, the office etc., they know basically anything there could be to know about any given identity
using these services; what they look for on the internet, what they read on the internet, what they talk about via
their gmail, WHO they talk to, what their calendar looks like and who they have met and who they are planning to
meet, how their economy looks and so forth - and the imperium of webbased services keep growing. while it
to the user offers versatility, each piece also offers new insight into the users private life and doings.
all of this info is available to google at any time. they can pick out that much info about any chosen identity at the snap
of a finger. why on earth WOULDN'T the CIA want access to this immense treasure?
remember, the base of _all industry_ is _profit_, and google didn't build a trillion dollar establishment on sponsored searches
and advertisement alone; they have something far more valuable to sell:)
and in his usual fashion of complete social ineptness i guess he did not even have the common decency to apologize for his own mistakes and shitty attitude?
it's interesting how a single rotten apple can spoil an entire basket. i know a few business who simply because of his unfriendly "aura" displayed in situations of seeking support etc. chose another solution. the worst part about it is that theo and his equally minded minions usually go "yeah and? as if the openbsd community cares LOL", which really says everything about what kind of a user attitude an orginazation should NOT have.
anyone recall theo's raving discussions about how closed source vendors refuse to consider the little users as users, and refuse to help out? ironically that is the exactly same behaviour theo sports towards other people:) oh, the narrowminded ones...

Maybe he should've spent a second or two checking up on this before he did his test.

no, that's not the situation i referred to, but in either case theo's stuck up attitude encompasses so much more than just something this small.
