Bad choice of words... Nope, bad choice of lifestyle.

I was waiting for a few before me to say the obvious. I will take the fifth.

He’s right, of course, with regard to security. But I fear that valid point will be lost in the jokes and inevitable trolling.

No matter Cook's life choices, I stand with him on this issue.

Tim Cook does not believe in freedom of speech or religion and helped to crush religious freedom legislation in Indiana back in March with his vocal opposition.
I suspect Cook would like to keep track of those who disagree with his lifestyle, gay marriage etc. etc.
I know he wants to deny them their First Amendment rights with his opposition to the Indiana legislation.
Cook is hostile to the Constitution of the United States for sure because of that.
A President of the United States takes an oath of office that includes upholding and defending the Constitution.
If I were POTUS Tim Cook would be my sworn enemy.

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.

People fawn over his company’s products, even my namesake (Rush Limbaugh) who’s been an Apple fan long before I heard of or even thought about using their products.
They are good products, but also expensive ones. Taxpayer dollars in many school districts have been spent on Apple gear.

Based on the title I thought he was talking about his boyfriend.

I suspect a majority of Apple users (computers at least) became that because they could not deal with the confusing demands of DOS back when.
Limbaugh strikes me as one of those, likely one that never took a math course beyond HS algebra, if that. Anyone ask him if he ever changed a sparkplug in his life?

I am MS certified and have been dealing with their products professionally for a while now. I resisted looking at Apple through my own stubbornness for a long time. I switched to Apple for my personal computer a year ago and wish I had done it much sooner. I have found that I really do not have a desire to screw around with my personal computer unless I have to. It doesn’t mean I am ignorant of the OS or math challenged. It just means I like the thing to work with a minimum of fuss which Apple does much better than MS does in my experience.
To: Praxeologue
Cannot Apple read incoming or outgoing data versus encrypted data on the device? No. It is encrypted on the device to AES 256bit standard before ever leaving the device with Apple never knowing the passcodes. . . and there are no backdoors.

They are good products, but also expensive ones. Taxpayer dollars in many school districts have been spent on Apple gear. They are no more expensive than products of the same level in the competition and are often less expensive. For example the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S5 when released was $200 more expensive than the unlocked iPhone 6S when it was released. . . at each level of comparison. Similarly if you compare like for like with a top end Windows laptop and an Apple laptop, they are competitive in price. . . same for all-in-one computers.
