No. In fact I never pass up an opportunity to list
the evils of Apple and Lord Jobs. I wouldn't touch their
products.... even if they were reasonably priced.

except that just about everything you claim apple does is demonstrably
false, including the above, since their products are price competitive
with similar products from other companies.


LOL :-D


it's true. the mere fact that he says 'lord jobs' shows his bias.

Well, I own an iMac... Xcode environment is hard to handle compared to
other IDEs. Adding other libraries and then SIP is a big pain. I
disabled SIP so that I could add external libraries... or so I thought I
could. Apples environment is pretty well locked down, except for
downloading other apps.

It doesn't set up the usual /usr/include or /usr/lib like other UNIXes
used to. It is just plain weird.

I know someone who's a so-called analyst. The kind of
people who collect statistics and then give talks at
trade conferences. His whole routine was portals for
awhile. I never understood the "big idea" either. I
thought maybe it was the idea that corporate sites
should use a portal design, but I was never sure. Though
there is a lot of following fads in web design, so that
might have been it -- the hot fad of the day.

false.

unfortunately, the risks of cyber attacks is very real, where untrusted
apps can do nefarious things, therefore apps must be codesigned and
request permission to access certain assets, however, that can be
completely overridden if desired.

it's also plain wrong.

Perhaps actually using Google search might provide a useful answer?
BTW, nice of you to scatter your conspiratorial rubbish into 5
unrelated newsgroups. The surest sign of success is oversubscription
and pollution and judging by your contribution, Usenet is certainly
successful.


To be precise, I only subscribe to linux advocacy. Looking for some
useful information regarding linux.


My apologies. I initially traced back the headers in this thread to
what I thought was your initial reply to an article by:
From: "Anonymous Remailer (austria)"
Due to the "anonymous", I managed to confuse your article and the
original posting. I also didn't notice that the original posting had
the same 5 unrelated newsgroups. Of those, I only subscribe to
rec.bicycles.tech. Since the original article involved riding a
bicycle, I assumed it originated from rec.bicycles.tech. Such massive
cross posting bothers me, thus my comments. I'll try to be more
careful and diplomatic in the future.

But I used to work for the NSA for a short while... so what you would
consider conspiracy, which was something that the CIA invented, was
actually true. IIRC, the NSA approached Bill Gates on putting back
doors in Windows so that they could spy. What a convenient way.
Otherwise, Judge Pennington would have ripped Microsoft to shreds if he
didn't.


That might be true. All that would be necessary is to leave a few
unpatched security issues. Well, maybe more than a few:
https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-26/product_id-32238/Microsoft-Windows-10.html
https://www.cvedetails.com/product/32238/Microsoft-Windows-10.html?vendor_id=26
Hmmm... looks like 2020 disappeared from the database.

Who is Judge Pennington? I thought the judge in the US vs Microsoft
monopoly trial was Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Corp.
As near as I can determine, Microsoft got accused of playing monopoly
because the company had not bothered to donate much money to political
candidates. The monopoly accusation was suppose to remind MS of its
obligation to fund both parties and their candidates. Despite the
saber rattling and threats to "breakup" MS, I doubt that the
government had any interest in pursuing the issue to trial and
inevitable appeal. A wise CEO would simply have caved in, paid off
the government extortionists, and continued with business as usual.
Bill Gates didn't and against the advice of literally everyone,
decided to take on the government. MS lost, but nothing detrimental
happened. The only change is that MS started contributing far more to
political parties and candidates. I would not be surprised if the NSA
didn't use the trial as an opportunity to promote its own interests.

Notice the jump in contributions around the year before the trial in
2000.
https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/totals.php?id=D000000115&cycle=2020

Also to say that the whole world at that time was predominantly windows.
Making it a whole lot easier to spy. OTW, you don't need boots on the
ground to do so.


Yep. Any sufficiently complicated collection of hardware and software
is indistinguishable from a wire tap.

Does that make it easier for you to grok the situation now?


Which situation? I replied to your comments which suggested some
manner of secret initial funding of Google by government acronyms.
Quoting your comments:

I don't own any Google devices or software.
And who's idea was it to fund in the beginning of Google?
One of the three letter agencies. What a better way to
spy on the public. Hook n' Crook.
(...)
Oh, I know what the narrative looked like. But who
funded such a large server farm so quickly?

Although I can recognize some possibilities, I don't see a conspiracy
here. Google's initial funding was about $800,000 from 4 angel
investors. A year later, the first round of funding netted $25
million from Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital. One can buy an
awful lot of servers and bandwidth for $25 million.

I've already tried that. It's the Xcode paradigm that doesn't want to
cooperate... then you have this huge long list to set the paths and then
other paths. Seems to take a good day just to set things up.

The bigger problem, and not Apples problem, is that the old C programs
aren't compatible with the C99 standard, such as stdarg.h, plus that
pointers and integers in the earlier days were both 32-bit. The 64-bit
pointers are just that, but the integers are 32-bit. Too many rewrites
to do.

Then figure out Objective-C apis. Still doesn't make much sense.

I understand those points, but Apple has gone too far.
Is it the Intel arch that is at fault for cyber attacks?
I've read some history into different architectures, and some of the
earlier designs like Data General had 8 levels or more of security. Of
course that was a multi-user setup during times past. Then VMS, as I've
read, had 4 levels of separation,... maybe a bit confused on this one.

So maybe it could be that Apple is considering the risc based ARM
processors for the mac line.

Also note that Linus Torvalds was also approached by the NSA.
Same thing, but Linus told them to bugger off.
Later he said he wasn't approached. Anyway, that line of work was too
much for even me to put up with and quit.

Before I quit, the bosses were ****ed that the CIA was meddling in
