I get the sense that the FBI doesn't entirely appreciate Apple CEO Tim Cook.
I get that sense from an interview he gave to NPR on Thursday. In it, he cogently explained Apple's attitude toward security in general and national security in particular.
Cook repeated his view that Apple isn't interested in tracking its customers as infinitum from app to app.
"If you buy something from the App Store, we do know what you bought from the App Store, obviously," he said. "We think customers are fine with that. Many customers want us to recommend an app. But what they don't want to do, they don't want your email to be read, and then to pick up on keywords in your email and then to use that information to then market you things on a different application that you're using."
This respect for privacy, which he has previously called an issue of morality, extends to his dealings with national security agencies.
"National security always matters, obviously," he said, when asked about Apple's conversations with these agencies and their desire for a so-called back door to Apple's systems. "But the reality is that if you have an open door in your software for the good guys, the bad guys get in there, too."
Yes, you can only securely stop a bad guy if you securely keep the good guys out too.
Cook said that a back door is "a non-starter."

Some government activity is the good guys. . . But a lot more has become the bad guys.
Lmao Fagapple Iphag 6.0
Cook repeated his view that Apple isn’t interested in tracking its customers as infinitum....
&&&
as infinitum?
Someone needs to buy this writer a Latin phrase book link.
Look at that picture of him. Is that a gay giggle or what?
Cook is a chameleon. He will take whatever side to preserve his identity. A man whose morality is askew cannot be depended on to make the right choices.
The Bible mentions the Two Minded Man.
They are good products, but also expensive ones.
The more expensive meme is a little bit untruthful. Sort of like an Escalade is more expensive than a Yugo. If you compare the Flagship offerings from Samsung some are more expensive than the current best model of iPhone, same goes for Computers if you compare features. Your perception is fueled by the cheap commodity products that many PC manufactures offer, Apple does not compete in the commodity market.
Apple gear lasts a lot longer than the commodity PC products and at less total cost of ownership. Poor implementation of technology is where the waste takes place. The truth is technology that exists today could totally replace the expensive school building and actually place the very best teacher in the world in every home at a fraction of the cost of todays schools. Of course they might have to give up football which will never happen.
Anyone ask him if he ever changed a sparkplug in his life?
He is from Missouri so I imagine he knows many things like that that totally confound modern coastal morons.
