Why is article trying to stir controversy?
I know The Register has a decidedly anti-Apple following, so perhaps the reason for the article's statement "...while failing to note that Apple's own iCloud servers had been ransacked late last year" was to address its fan base? Because I can't see another purpose. Why, exactly, is it a "failure" by Tim Cook to not mention every single security bug that has been found in its products prior to making a statement about security/privacy? *Obviously* all software has bugs. Are you suggesting that whenever he talks about any software related subject, he should first give his audience a run-down on every one of the thousands of open bugs in his various products - otherwise he's "failing" his audience? Ridiculous.
