In real surveys with a scientific basis, an extremely high percentage of Americans could not name the Vice-President, or any Supreme Court justice, let alone Edward Snowden.
Historically, Americans are easy marks for deception by government and 'journalism' (Amiri Baraka's "slobbering prostitute reporters", if you will).

Put that in your crack pipes and smoke it.
Correct. However, where I work we have a number of os x devices. Went I went to Microsoft to download their FREE remote desktop app (http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-ca/app/remote-desktop/051f560e-5e9b-4dad-8b2e-fa5e0b05a480), I was redirected to the App Store. Fortunately I had a copy of MRD from an earlier installation. It worked fine just copying it to another mac.
I think it's important to let Facebook and everyone else know why some find it useless and harmful. Potentially very, very harmful.
But hey, knock yourself out. Just don't come crying when you're a victim, 'cause you had no idea 'they' were doing that.
The conclusions drawn by the TFA are far from proven, albeit based on some kind of "research" (it is claimed). Arguably, the phenomenon, and the issues it raises are at least an order of maginitude more complex, as comments here have amply demonstrated. "Trolls" may serve a useful social purpose after all, because they may provoke reflection on many levels including: the rightness of one's assumptions, awareness of the trolls' pov/talking points (always useful), the trolls' (possibly hidden) agenda, state of mind/mental health, one's own capacity to be easily provoked to anger by something that ought to be ignored or regarded as merely a source of transitory amusement, a challenge that calls for a witty riposte. The possibilities are almost limitless. I believe the 'success' of trolling as a strategy of discourse is highly overrated by TFA, and ephemeral at best.
"I don't need a union to bargain for my wages. My bargaining power lies in the fact that my skills are in short supply"
Let's say, hypothetically, that the main employers in your industry made a secret deal to cap salaries?
Oh wait, Apple did that.
...result from a poorly-designed survey.
This is the kind of stupefying trivia that is the hobgoblin of little minds, bad designers and their far too numerous acolytes. cf. "Helvetica", the movie.
Apple is a disgusting company that makes super-profits, because it treats its employees like garbage. Should that bother you? I dunno, have you got a conscience?

Because the NSA has always been open and honest with its paymasters, the American people, it is completely trustworthy in this as in all things.

Maybe you used to, you can't now.
For "free" apps? Does that make sense, Apple? I mean, why would I trust you with my credit card? Because actually, I don't. Thanks!
Can you say "patsy" ?

It's the only was to be sure.
"I do not pay for bugs" Actually you do, but you clearly don't like it.
Everything old is old again!
For the bitter aftertaste.

Shove that rounded rectangle where the sun don't shine.
kthx.
He deserves a medal and a hearty thanks from U.S. taxpayers, for publicly exposing the criminal stupidity and incompetence of the Pentagon.
You will be hearing from Apple's lawyers shortly regarding your violation of their copyright on the use of "1984".

Not these wishy-washy, lame watercolors. I'm really disappointed in Wired magazine.
it sure would be tragic if someone re-pointed one of these things as a drone command center...
Apple has a history, and it's not a good one. Look it up.

Apple wannabe and patent trolling... Oh wait, "Apple wannabe" covers that too. Maybe Steve Ballmer should get pancreatic cancer. Or a personality.
...anything it set out to do?
This can't be any worse...
