More free publicity. If Time weren't so liberal, they would be posting about the issues instead of fanboy advertising for a guy whose company has an interesting record on human rights and where it purportedly protects and where it purportedly turns its head to ignore:

(yeah, he moved programming jobs to China but wouldn't share code... get real.)

(Among other things, he moved iCloud to China. You know, the country whose piracy rate is 4x higher than America's... seems piracy would cost Apple more than any tax rate, especially with the lobbyists Apple highers to have tax laws rewritten to its benefit...)

It was rumored, and reported, that apple gave it all to the Chinese government to gain access to market.
Several times, by many, over the last few years, increasingly so. I'm amazed Cook has continued the charade. But his fluff has been countered on other issues, like -->

(and in that article, "environmental strangulation" is mentioned. Where's Apple's board member Al Gore doing the strangling? Nowhere. He was put on board in 2003, and computertakeback.org - for YEARS - showed how Gore had done nothing. They later took down the Apple-centric piece, probably because Gore had quieted down and the click-based ratings were not longer as lucrative.)
Apple, like Microsoft and others, which the tech media has reported on for years as well, has given source code
by choice. To profit. Why would it be any different now, since Apple isn't fessing up to what it's done in the past.
And don't forget, Apple is stooping to new lows:

So all these years how it was saying iOS was more secure - it's all a lie, now? (Well, with jailbreaking, unjailbroken phones' SMS being hacked, itunes dev hacked, itunes store hacked, etc, etc, that does make a convenient turn in their favor - sorta...) Or if it's the truth, his giving the source code to China might be a reason. But, as usual, the comrade will continue to blanketly scapegoat America. "Keep up the good fight", indeed.
