The Cook really is an Applied Case Study for MBA basics. Everything he does is straight from 101 classes.
Looking forward to the HBS case on how he transformed Apple's business from tech to accessories.

Yeah just like apple taking billions from google is double dipping

So why not start with DuckDuckGo as default search engine? Because 9billion is more worth to apple than your privacy.
While I completely agree, what I keep in the back of my mind is that at some point, this will change.
At this point, people pay a premium for Apple products, which gives them the leeway to at least pay lip-service to privacy. The moment Apple products become less profitable, be it through market pressure or through Apple's own ****ups (see Butterfly keyboards), they might turn on a dime and get some of that sweet Big Data money.
You've never used a proper Linux or BSD distribution then. Even the commercial Open Source platforms fully respect your privacy, and if systems offer services that might collect your data to actually be able to provide that service, they fully (!) inform you upfront about the implications.
So, once again, Apple just excels at marketing, not at actually delivering the goods.

Yeah, but let's face the reality: Those 7 billion people live in regions where Apple is not necessarily a company that people buy products from. And if they buy Apple, the privacy of their health care data won't even appear on their radar screen.
Piracy?
Oh, nevermind

MacHaters.com I think
It it’s core I don’t think it’s too puzzling. Being provocative and stirring up agitation makes one feel important. Muckraking has a long tradition. Some Apple criticism is fair but most here is silly, and probably designed to annoy.
Life taught me that there is nothing "secure" -AND- "online"
eventually it will leak or someone is going to hack it.
That being said, I still rather pay for a higher priced Apple product for the extra privacy over buying cheaper(or free) products from other tech. giants and pay the difference by selling my life.

Yeah, love that Linux smartphone. edit: We don't trust Google. That's the problem, so don't come back saying Android is based on Linux.

AND? We all know that, but how is Android for security if it's being implemented by Google? You trust Android because it's built on Linux? Who cares?
No, I don’t trust android. I don’t trust linux. I don’t trust windows. I sort of trust Solaris. I trust VMS, because VMS is swell.
But they already do. They don’t merge with Chinese government just for fun. 0% Tax easy acces to large market and other perks made them give up all privacy and give over iCloud infrastructure to the totalitarian Chinese government and implement social scoring.
This is much more dangerous than making money from data aggregation and advertising.
Private companies can not throw you in a prison, enslave and execute you if you speak out against them. The Chinese government will do exactly that with dissenters.
It's funny to see people contort themselves to be AGAINST privacy just because Apple is for it. That's so completely pathetic. Humans who worship companies, like Google-bots and Samsung-bots are terrible excuses for humans.
[doublepost=1551375033][/doublepost]Apple isn't perfect, but when it comes to the blend of privacy/security/features, they are the best game in town at the moment
[doublepost=1551375136][/doublepost]
You have zero data to back up that insane assertion. Merge with the Chinese government??? Please provide proof for that.

Nor does HIPAA apply to the patient. You are welcome to rent a billboard and post your medical information on it. So once the provider transfers that info to you, it's not anyone else responsibility to keep it private. Just like if I hand you a printout of your medical records and you lose it in the parking lot, it's your fault and not a HIPAA breach.
Exactly. Which is why it’s important that when apple is acting as your agent or providing you devices to hold your data, that they’ve built in safeguards.
Didn't another article on this very same blog mention something about EFF being outraged that iCloud backups aren't securely encrypted so that only the user has access to them.
apparently you have no idea about the issue - it wasnt batching security holes... but rather as you said by yourself ”you gave up your privacy...” via appstore.
