Why would the CIA, with a $50 billion budget, use public forums rather than some sort of secure satellite link or a VPN?

Then how come I never see people celebrating speech they disagree with? Where are the people who cheer on Rick Santorum's stance that gay relationships are equivalent to bestiality, or Michael Savage's comments that there needs to be a second Holocaust but this time on Muslims? Nobody is saying they don't have a right to speak, but we also have a responsibility to call people out on their abuse of it for nefarious ends.
The problem is bureaucracy. I work in a clinic, and the new Electronic Health Records REQUIRE every patient's email address. The Health Care regulations require that the patient be able to access his or her records securely online via a website. The problem is that our clinic has a lot of senior citizens and nursing home patients. An 85-year-old usually does not have an email address, in my experience. Thus the clinic is forced to use dummy email addresses etc. The system won't allow a blank, and the government will not reimburse for empty records.
Apple has already made iPhones compatible with hearing aids and appears to be looking to refine it with "made for iPhone" aids.
For a lot of these protestors, YouTube = America. In countries without freedom of the press, when something gets published, they frequently assume that the government must have allowed it to be published. Thus, the US government is responsible.
though probably not on the App Store.
Actually, Apple has allowed many forum reader and commenting apps on the App Store. Alien Blue is considered the best app for reading Reddit, arguably using the touchscreen is way better than browsing on a PC/Mac.
Apple is saying they didn't give the data to the FBI. Maybe it came from a leak inside AT&T? They also have billing data.
So they're admitting the security theater at the checkpoint is ineffective? And more theater is needed?
Interestingly enough, at the time his defense lawyers actually tried to make the claim that perhaps some of OJ's DNA could have wafted from the test tube with his blood into the other tube containing the crime evidence. I guess the public was so new to the idea of DNA that some thought it possible.
Yes, Apple has created a Mac App Store to sell apps, and showcase some "Best of" apps. It is not exclusive, and you can still download and install apps the normal way. Apple has gotten stricter, requiring anyone who wants their app listed in the store to use sandboxing to prevent security holes in the OS. That's what this story is about.
Android is a desktop OS? (We're talking about Mac OS and the Mac App Store, not iOS)
