Apple limits AirDrop on iPhones in China after filesharing feature was used by protesters.Now allegedly worldwide? Then it appears to us that Apple is locked in tight with not only the CCP but the NWO/WEF fucks like Klaus Schwab and George Soros.

Apple has limited filesharing features on iPhones in China, a month after reports that anti-government protesters were using the function to share digital leaflets with strangers.

The change follows widespread reports of people using AirDrop to spread leaflets critical of the Chinese Communist party in crowded public spaces, partly inspired by a protest in Beijing in which a man hung banners calling for the removal of the president, Xi Jinping.

Chinese censors quickly scrubbed online videos and posts referring to the protest, while hundreds of users on the popular payment and chat app WeChat had their accounts blocked after speaking about the rare act of rebellion.

Apple declined AFP’s request for comment but the company is now understood to be planning a rollout of the feature across the globe.

Judge: US Can’t Force Apple To Provide Encrypted iPhone Data

Judge: US Can’t Force Apple To Provide Encrypted iPhone Data. NY Federal Judge Rules in favor of Apple. They still have to deal with the Federal Judge in Riverside County though. It looks like it’s time for the Supreme Court to get involved. Or, will the FBI get tricky and try to use the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to get a rubber stamp?

Apple says government lost access to shooter’s iPhone backup by changing passcode

Apple says government lost access to shooter’s iPhone backup by changing passcode. Looks like the FBI should hire someone who knows what they’re doing with Apple products.

UPDATE: We’re not sure whether to call this an update, correction or BS but here’s the latest:

The auto reset was executed by a county information technology employee, according to a federal official. Federal investigators only found out about the reset after it had occurred and that the county employee acted on his own, not on the orders of federal authorities, the source said.

Apple executives say the iPhone was in the possession of the government when iCloud password was reset. A federal official familiar with the investigation confirmed that federal investigators were indeed in possession of the phone when the reset occurred.

All we can say is yeah right, if you say so.

Al Gore shows up at Apple shareholder meeting, becomes a laughingstock

At an Apple shareholder meeting, Al Gore “has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not melted,” Sheldon said, referring to Gore’s views on global warming.

A billion dollars in the bank and he's still the fat kid who gets picked on by all the cool kids

$1,000,000 to the first reader who can tell us what’s wrong with that headline. Oh, sorry, time’s up.

The answer is, Al Gore didn’t become a laughingstock at the Apple meeting. The guy’s always been a laughingstock.

CNET reports the continuing disintegration of the Gore lore:

The presence of one of the world’s pre-eminent environmentalists at Apple’s shareholder meeting Thursday was the subject of much of the morning’s pointed discussion.

As expected, Apple’s attitude on environmental and sustainability issues was one of the main concerns of the stockholders present Thursday, followed closely by the company’s immense pile of cash. But early harsh comments about former Vice President Al Gore’s record set the tone.

Gore was seated in the first row, along with his six fellow board members, in Apple’s Town Hall auditorium as several stockholders took turns either bashing or praising his high-profile views on climate change.

At the first opportunity for audience participation just several minutes into the proceeding, a longtime and well-known Apple (AAPL) shareholder–some would say gadfly–who introduced himself as Sheldon, stood at the microphone and urged against Gore’s re-election to the board. Gore “has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not melted,” Sheldon said, referring to Gore’s views on global warming. “If his advice he gives to Apple is as faulty as his views on the environment then he doesn’t need to be re-elected.”

While this attitude might crush the spirit of lesser men, it is not expected to bother Gore. Not being elected is nothing new to him.

There’s an app for that. Even if there shouldn’t be.

Pretty funny parody of the Apple iPhone commercials. And by the way, it’s not true that Megan Fox has a restraining order against the guys at IHateTheMedia.com. Not true at all.

Apple hangs up on iPhone app featuring Nancy Pelosi caricature

Apple’s leftwing politics have reared their ugly head again. The computer company has killed an iPhone app because it contained caricatures of Democrat Nancy Pelosi and other members of congress. Apple called the caricatures “objectionable.”

Apple’s leftwing politics have reared their ugly head again. The computer company has killed an iPhone app because it contained caricatures of Democrat Nancy Pelosi and other members of congress. Apple called the caricatures “objectionable.”

The iPhone app directory featured drawings of every member of Congress by freelance cartoonist Tom Richmond. The developer of the app believes his product was killed because Pelosi’s husband is a major Apple stockholder.

Fox News reports:

“Everyone’s talking about the health care bill and calling their congressman, but sometimes it’s hard to find their numbers,” Ray Griggs said. “We made an iPhone app that puts them a click or a phone call away, and links by GPS to find your congressman or senator’s contact information. We thought Congress wanted to hear from their constituents.”

Griggs noted that Apple has approved apps that simulate the sound of human flatulence, that let users make models out of human feces, and that create a bloody knife when the iPhone is shaken. There have also been controversial images of women’s breasts, and a notorious app that let the user quiet a crying baby by shaking it into silence, which was subsequently removed.

We have to agree with Griggs on this one. On the ten point objectionable scale, we’re pretty sure Pelosi falls somewhere between human flatulence and human feces.

Obama Berlin speech vs. Apple’s 1984 commercial

Are we the only ones who thought of Apple’s famous “1984” commercial when we saw Obama’s videotaped Fall-of-the-Berlin-Wall speech? Obama’s speech even comes with the right echo.

Kind of eerie, isn’t it?
