Well its all trite, and silly, and stupid to be honest. But I disagree about control. Apple is ALL about control, and by default an Apple user loses some of that control over their data and privacy unless they take active steps to counter it.

Well, all of the people who'd been boycotting U2 for all the greenwashed 1-per-center bullshit bono pulls suddenly find themselves owning it after all. Getting a copy of, say, Mein Kampf that you never ordered differs (considerably) in degree, but not in nature.

Off the top of my head? There was the "oops, we're storing all your location data in cleartext and anyone can access it" thing, and the "Maps is totally ready for release, enjoy your trip to the bottom of the East River" thing.

I'm a fairly meek person but part of me inherited my mom's stubbornness and if you try to make me take anything,…

My thoughts exactly! And, as I watch each episode, I find myself thinking: Aaaaaaaaaah, I love that and would TOTALLY wear it in black! I get that she wears white... it's her thing, white hat and all, but in a surprise twist in — hmm, maybe season 7 — I wholly anticipate Oliva being pushed to tap into her dark…

These are gorgeous, but so many light colors just scream "I don't have to take public transportation!". When I moved to New York I had just bought a cream colored pea coat...I'll let fellow commuters guess how long that looked presentable.
