>While in theory it's nice that people can run any application they wish, in practice, it sucks. While in theory it is nice that people enjoy essential liberties, in practice, they suck. Franklin sends his regards. > it won't steal information So, it's okay if Apple collects your personal data instead of some criminal? Sure is hypocritical. >well, we tried doing it the other way for 20+ years and it didn't work. You know why it doesn't work? Because we let people use computers, but don't require them to learn how to use them. I still don't get why people think they are entitled to use a computer. It's the same as demanding to drive a car without knowing how to operate it, in addition to having no clue about traffic rules. We're not attacking the root of the problem, we're simply slapping the symptoms around. |

Criminals: steal tens of thousands of dollars from your bank account. And you may well be stuck with the losses. Apple: knows a bit of your personal information. So yeah, those are comparable.
And computer training? Another stupid idea that demonstrably doesn't solve the problem. People have been trying that since at least the windows 95 era. Strangely, there are still bot nets, viruses, malware, spyware, electronic theft, etc. But I'm sure it's going to really work any day now.
