Flashback from the 90's: Telnet and X11 are inherently insecure - where's the news in that?
We're still expecting X12 any time now.

It just goes to prove no one is irreplaceable; not even Jobs.
On one hand Tim Cook was able to pursue Jobs' job. That's refinement of initially very well designed and innovative products. Under the hood, I see annoying bugs that remain unfixed for years - is Cook able to motivate and manage his teams efficiently? Strategically, where is Apple going? An aggressive campaign to get rid of Chrome on the Mac that smells like the early days of Windows. The exceptionally good results of Apple are due to one thing: a bigger iPhone. Users have been wanting that for a long time, looking enviously at the giant Samsung phones for years. Now that everybody has a bigger iPhone, will they buy a new phone in Sept 2015? Unlikely.
That means your device could be 20% cheaper.
Since when companies charge for making cost + x% margin? That's not the way prices are set. A product is sold at the price it can be sold - the higher the better. Many entrepreneurs are still making huge profit selling stuff 10~100x what it costs in China. Apple could sell 20% cheaper - but why would they do that? They can barely answer the huge demand of iPhones worldwide.
The fact that drugs are illegal is the true problem.
Aren't they illegal for a reason? Maybe some drugs could be authorized. But addictive and health-destroy stuff are rightfully illegal. One might ask: Is it legal to prevent someone from destroying his own body? The problem is the highly addictiveness of the products. Someone may eventually want to stop taking the drug and be back to a normal life, but he just can't. The drug owns the user.
