When these companies like Apple talks about defending privacy etc etc, it is all probably a talk as a PR stunt to appease the general public in this Snowden revelation world. It is bad for business if general public continues to remember that they are cooperating with NSA. Foruntaely, general public has short term memory.

They didn't want to decrypt the file of a known terrorists but they snitched out a pirate?

  • The guy running the site was a fucking moron. He did not attempt to hide what he was doing, and what he did was illegal. I do not agree with the laws, but they do not change even if everyone hates them.

    Apple is a scam. It always was. When you buy Apple anything, you are agreeing to be their bitch forever. Anything you do with their hardware is theirs. And they will rat you out in a heartbeat, so long as money is involved. (They think Piracy is the only crime on Earth.) They let terrorists have a get out of prison free card, but they will tie the noose themselves if you are even accused of "infringement".

    I know there are Apple fanboys here, but pull your heads out of your asses. Apple is the enemy.
  • The singular good thing I can say about OSX is that it seems to be Unix. (And Unix is the precursor to Linux, and all software for Linux is pretty easy to port to Linux from Unix.)
