Ping for insights. Hype or genuine risk?

I suspect a little of both hype and risk. I don’t trust the Chinese, but frankly I don’t trust anybody whose software isn’t open source, with very few exceptions.

I generally trust Apple’s proprietary software because many years of experience demonstrate that they generally tell the truth, and their claims hold up under scrutiny. But this case isn’t Apple, it’s Google and China.

I assume all other proprietary software is out to get me. I’m rarely wrong about that. :-)
