"...and we are left wondering, would proprietary companies that get broken into so forthcoming? Should they be?"
Short answer:
No, they do not want to scare the stockholders.
and... Yes, they should be because openness allows people to recover or protect themselves faster.
Tinfoil hat time here. Why did it have to be a bug? Perhaps apple wanted to push for updated networks, or a carrier wanted more money and colluded with apple. Maybe not even to make money, but to have more 'evidence' for caps and throttling. Just sayin'.
Why is this not done already? Between truecrypt and (ack) bitlocker,it s relatively easy. Add in a robust backup system, which any organization should have already, and it is cheap and fairly easy to implement.
Those billions could have put a man on mars, or housed many,many homeless people, or any of a bunch of other uses. When will we realize that most of out debt is crime useless military spending, not social programs?
Test scores have little to do with genetic differences between races. It is about culture and upbringing.
To set different standards only encourages the status quo for a group. Be it hyper achievement (Asians), mediocrity (whites), or under achievement (for the rest). Groups be challenged to rise above culture and conditioning.
It has always been an internal moral compass that guides us. Few people do not commit murder or any other crime because of the fear of law enforcement.
The question becomes, does that moral compass derive from superstitious psuedo-belief in some omniscient power, government instilled fears, or a true sense of what is the path of the least harm to the fewest numbers of others?
If I really want to kill someone, or rob them, or rape them, I will find a way to do it, law and others be dammed. It simply becomes a matter of proper planning and (ahem) execution.
The invention of the knife did not 'legalize' murder, neither did the invention of the gun, or the fist for that matter. What legalizes it is our own mind and definition of moral. Regardless of the tools used.
Law enforcement, like much religion, is simply a fear mongering device used to direct the thoughtless masses.
Logitech is good, but basing your evaluation on a sample size of one, while fine for your own subjective and emotional purchasing patterns, does not a proper objective review make. I have seen both bad and good Razor products. I have seen both bad and good linux distributions. I have seen both bad and good Star Trek movies. And you know what, I still enjoy Start Trek and Linux even though there are not so good products available under both names.
And the funniest thing is that the current QWERTY key arrangement is here due to jamming issues with typewriters. It was designed to slow down the typing speed of old stenographers to resolve the jamming issue of old typewriters when they were typed on too fast.
I have to abstract myself away from shit like Jersey Shore, Real Housewives, Survivor, Jaywalking, etc. The things I hear pass for intelligent conversation now scare and enrage me. I for one do not believe American's at least are getting any smarter.

There is a better option. Stop paying the cable company. Cut the cord and all that jazz. Vote with your wallet.
Wow.. reads better than MyCleanPC spam!

distribute the final file as a watermarked png only. Require assignments to be turned in a multi layered psd files. Problem solved.
The NSA looks ant and stores most of them with no oversight anyway. You don't protest that.
iWelcome our iPad building iRobot iOverlords.
I cannot wait for an iPhone built by I,robot.

Wounded vets? How do you use a touch screen with no arms?
Thanks, I'll be here all night.

Samsung doubts apple will purchase its LCD panels. Oh, wait.
Exactly. For reference, see AK-47. Easy to replicate and everywhere.
I was on my phone. On a bumpy bus. Using a terrible 'touch' typing interface.
Enough of the QWERTY Dvorak partisan bickering! We can all use a twiddler: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorded_keyboard
They had to wait to disclose till they changed their TOS to stop class action suits. Simple.

Actually, that's just an urban legend... http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/221/was-the-qwerty-keyboard-purposely-designed-to-slow-typists
Your article actually supports the "legend". Perhaps you are just looking for clicks or back links. Or you do not read.
You mean improve like supporting Unicode. Or even carriage returns with HTML editing off. Or an open source drop in rich text editor.
First is any site praising pussy riot. Pussy is bad for children you know.
In Putins's Russia, government fucks pussy.
This whole affair with valve just reminds me of some computer user adopting a new platform with vim and vigor...
I think you mean with vi and emacs.
FTFY
