What happened when I linked my facebook to my blog

UPDATE: Oct 2 ,2011, Now that I’ve become a Google+ nutjob, I’m finding it harder to not respond right away within G+, but I’ll do my best…

 

ABOUT THIS BLOG: I’ve decided that it makes more sense to post contributions to my blog first, and then link them in Facebook (and now Twitter and Google Plus). Serendipitous result, my blog stats zoomed (well, still tiny, but proportionately, pretty cool).

On national security and Apple’s iPhone lockdown.

Apple tightens link on new iPhone

B. Franklin said “Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither.” That said, I love my Apple computer and iPod (and some of their apps are good, others suck). On the other hand I’m a big supporter of open architecture software and electronics. But Jobs has a good reason for being a monomaniac about keeping Apple “closed,” everything Apple works with everything Apple. Even major tech nerd friends of mine, who can more easily navigate the non-Apple world, like their Apples. So it’s a fascinating gray area, often misunderstood. I know I’m being simplistic, but there you go. I agree w Ben F, but I LOVE Apple and by and large, embrace their policy. If they wanna lock up their iPhone, fine. As to national security vs. security… that reminds me of what Ghandi replied when he was asked what he thought of “Western Civilization,” he said “I think it’s a great idea.”
