Tim Cook forgets to take memory pills

by on17 September 2014

Has a swipe at Google over privacy!

Apple supreme dalek, Tim Cook appears to have forgotten to take his memory pills and decided to wade into Google for having “poor privacy protection” on its cloud products. Cook said that Apple’s business was based on selling hardware and it was not interested in collecting information about you. You’re not our product we run a very different company.

It is clear that Cook has forgotten that little problem his company had with the regulators when it was discovered that Apple was actually collecting data recording the movements of its iPhone users. It was only when it was discovered that the feature, which sent data back to Apple was removed.

Cook went on to say that when his company designs a new service, it tries not to collect data, insisting that encryption means Apple couldn’t gather information from emails and iMessages even if it wanted to.

He said that if a company is making money mainly by collecting gobs of personal data, users have a right to be worried, and they should really understand what’s happening with that data, and the companies should be very transparent about it.

Yep he really did say transparent claiming that Apple was and Google wasn’t.

Cook said he believes the issues of privacy and data collection will be “a very key topic over the next year or so and will reach higher and higher levels of urgency as more and more incidents happen.”

These would be the sort of incidents were hackers break into you cloud and steal the messages and naked pictures of Hollywood starlets and post them online.
