It’s great to see the original author update the article & admit that he was incorrect. He even goes as far as to say that despite the embarrassment he’ll leave the article up. My favorite assetrtion from the article is "Apparently though, someone decided that they’d do it in software” referring to using software to illustrate when a camera is active. That statement alone is a red flag. When would Apple let a lone person decide something like that? But he does site an unnamed friend who has a PHD in Computer Science and thus would be intimate with the inner workings of Apple’s hardware for the last decade. To me, the issue with that article has nothing to do with laptops, cameras, or bloggers; it’s the lack of facts and fact checking. How we do we solve this? This isn’t really “fake news” … it’s bad news at best, based on mistaken assumptions. Seriously, how could software detect that this was a terrible article? This seems to be the biggest problem to solve today ...
