This is a financial disaster waiting to happen. Microsoft is oblivious if it is not doing something to divorce itself from the NSA.Apple, on the other hand, could have come out smelling like a rose, but following the death of Steve Jobs, who apparently refused to play ball with the NSA, it stupidly jumped on board to join the PRISM club.
According to the Prism slides, it really looks so:
"Dates when Prism collection began for each provider
Microsoft 9/11/07
Yahoo 3/12/08
Google 1/14/09
Facebook 6/3/09
PalTalk 12/07/09
YouTube 9/24/10
Skype 2/6/11
AOL 3/31/11
Apple (added Oct 2012)"
Steve Jobs: February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011.
If it's true, it's one reason more to deeply admire him.
And can you just imagine how much more sales Apple would get now for not being on that list?
