You are shitting me right? DEP can be trivially disabled - google for more information.
I think you're drank too much koolaid, much like the Microsoft security guy who told us "Windows 2008R2 64 bit will not load unsigned drivers, and will check itself every 15 minutes and bluescreen if it finds one".
Bull fucking shit - we found a very nasty little one that even Symantec couldn't find.
Since your biggest issue is the remote wipe, I take it you are also against Windows Phone 7 and Google's Android since both of them has stated that they will remote wipe apps as well?
What I mean is they are not the best music players or particularly competitively priced, but people want them because they have a certain image. Samsung and HTC are challenging that and this is Apple's reaction.
I could have sworn every report out there says no one else can make a 10" tablet and offer it at the price point Apple could. I'm not very sure how that is not "competitively priced".
I still have no idea why people want a 4" screen (size) as opposed to screen resolution. Isn't the whole beauty of retina display because of the high screen resolution?
Pretty good points. From my personal experience, redhat's support is worthless. We had documented issues and the support people agreed that they see the problems, but keep asking me to test it. I told them flat out - you agree it's a problem, you are able to recreate the problem, then *YOU NEED TO TEST THE SOLUTION OUT BEFORE ASKING ME TO TRY IT, DAMNIT*
Somehow, they don't seem to understand that last part.
WTF are you smoking? 2007 was the pinacle of openness?! From what? All the phones were locked down. Every single smart phone had their features dictated to them by the phone companies. Every phone had those damned shovelware because the phone companies could do it. And that damned "I" for Internet button that always gets accidentally pressed but they would never disable it, because everytime you hit it, they get $$.
iPhone was the one that took them on, and gave you updates even a couple of years later. And had none of that shitty shovelware.

Because DEP induces morons to believe they're now secure and protected forever.
OpenBSD normally doesn't get this kind of exploits. I think there's been one remote exploit historically.
And plenty of people use openbsd as their desktops.

you are frothing at the mouth. The hundreds of thousands of apps don't seem to indicate any lack of creativity or innovation.
Just because you can't load it from another source or buy it from another source doesn't mean the stuff in it isn't creative or innovative.

You don't think http://www.tuaw.com/2011/09/28/no-comment-proof-that-samsung-shamelessly-copies-apple/ shows Samsung taking that copying thing just a bit too far?
And for your initiative too, I'm sure.
Then tomorrow, get bitch slapped for not following procedures. But you're safe for now, since leadership saw it.
A free service got changed. Life goes on. Go back to your ale.
If you can't afford it then it's probably not something you need, but rather something you want.
In any case, why should they pay for what you are unable to pay for yourself?
Gee, thanks.
That will be considered a threat no matter how you word it. Expect to go to jail.
Just because macrumors made a mistake, doesn't mean you can use that mistake as your "evidence".
Macrumors wrote iOS when they meant iPhones.
If you are comparing Android the operating system, please compare it to iOS the operating system.

Can you teach me how 130:200 can be turned into 3:1 ?
Thank you very much.
Wonder which fucking idiot marked you as redundant. People just get all excited over nothing. Bah, a bunch of sheep
I call bullshit. iPhone has 960 x 640 resolution. What resolution does your 4" Android run at?
And you can always change the font size.
I still have no idea why people want a 4" screen (size) as opposed to screen resolution. Isn't the whole beauty of retina display because of the high screen resolution?
And what the fuck does anything you said have to do with OpenBSD?
Hint: OpenBSD is NOT Linux. It's *UNIX* so you have to understand slices.
You do know that packages exist right? Why would you make pain for yourself?

That's such a stupid comment. Apple bought CUPS and it was fully open source, GPL'ed.
Apple had no problems buying it.
You do realize that there's something called a "switch" right?
Not really, think about penetration tests or bad guy walking by while your laptop is "hibernating". "boot to USB", infect hibernate file, walk away.
And depending on how you restart, it won't wipe the hibernate file.
or worse yet, it writes to some sectors of the hidden partition that is not in use... and then just hook to it in the hibernate image.
YOU LIE!
Heh.
