Does raise a question about Apple's intent to develop its own crypto as with everything else consumers have come to expect inside a pretty package of magic. Which PGP may be well aware of, with as ever, an assist from Microsoft's inside spies at Apple. Clunkers ban together. To be sure, Apple's spies inside Mircosoft and PGP are not idly spreading rumors of Linux ever-more tentacular prowess. Doubly sure, the spies and liars may be the same in all instances, doing the CEOs' dirty to slip into IBM's inner pants to see what's highly erectile functioning. Learning from NSA who learned from the British who tortured the Muslims who bung-holed the Greeks who cheated the Sumerians who grabbed from the Egyptians who, let it be said, Gaddafi shouts, we all out-gunned the paranoid sub-saharans by poisoning their wells, and little noticed in this circle jerk fingerpointing is the quiet claim by the central africans about the lasting effectiveness of viral ebola and ball-shriveling AIDS. Anybody who thinks viral bots are a western invention is historically, vaingloriously blind to conceal claims of originiality to hide buglary and theft-- which is a prime definition of western civ. Its not the strong math and weak implementation that assures success in crypto business and WMDs, its the knife in the back, i.e., the financiers behind the arms. Akbar, akbar.
