  8. Wonderful on Apple Said To Team With Visa, MasterCard On iPhone Wallet · · Score: 1

    The same corporation that is complicit with the NSA spying, obvious code errors to allow said spying, a variety of other "bugs" and then the recent "nude celeb photos" scandal show you how incompetent Apple is at security, why anyone in their right mind would use anything they make in a security required situation.

  9. Really? Apple? on Apple Said To Team With Visa, MasterCard On iPhone Wallet · · Score: 1

    The corporation that works with the NSA to cripple your phone and provides whatever is asked of it to the security forces.

    All the errors whether intentional or not occur in printed media as well.
    There seems to be another effort underway to discredit Wikipedia, I'm amused by the claims of errors and inaccuracies and frankly they pale in comparison to some I've seen in printed books.

    The nice thing about Wikipedia is you can hop right on there and fix it.
