It may be, but this Android-using programmer is totally falling for it.  I&#x27;m seriously considering buying an iPhone now.<p>As the Obama strips away our freedoms at a greater rate than any preceding administration of the last 100 years, <i>someone</i> needs to stand up to them.  (and that&#x27;s just what we know about; who <i>knows</i> what they&#x27;re doing in secret).<p>Realistically, our nations most powerful corporations are the only ones who can actually get their attention.  And even then, it&#x27;s David vs Goliath.  I&#x27;m just happy <i>someone</i> is pointing out the impact of this administration&#x27;s rash actions directly to their faces.  I don&#x27;t care if it&#x27;s for mercenary reasons.<p>Besides, with the famous Apple &quot;1984&quot; commercial being held in reverence by the typical Apple employee, I suspect that many or most Apple employees, including the executive leadership, may hold strong views on privacy and the dangers of state surveillance in good faith.
