Re: Is it Legit?
Yeah, I wouldn't consider it a global IT security issue. But it may be indicative of some insiders at Apple resisting the fruity firm's notorious internal police-state-style setup. Apple's team structure and corporate culture is more secretive, compartmentalized and restrictive than most intelligence agencies, and many of the engineers have only really put up with it as long as the tech remained exciting to work with.
Endlessly iterating the same 4-5 basic product lines gets dull quickly, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the rank-and-file techies are getting fed up with the relatively poor pay and relatively bad working conditions compared to the other tech giants (while still being markedly better than 99% of the world's population have to put up with). And Tim Cook ain't Steve Jobs; people will put up with more shit to work with one of the really big names in technology from the late 20th century (even if he was an asshole) than they will working for an identikit corporate type.
