Bullshit.
Since when was security mutually exclusive with openness?
It's pretty obvious that Google has refused to give users the optional security permissions that they would like to have control of.
It's daft that you have to root your phone in order to be able to increase the security.
And just because Apple have (A) good security and (B) a crazy degree of control freakery, doesn't mean that everyone else with good security needs to be a control freak too which is some in these threads are insinuating.
NSA brought gchq in on. This because the y couldn't do it themselves (5th amendment etc.). So they have gchq do the dirty work and then gchq shares the intelligence. Welcome to the new USA.
That would be ECHELON you are referring to. Except you obviously missed that news that's been coming out for the last year about NSA spying on Amercicans regardless. What do you think NSA are storing in their $1,500,000,000 data centre, how many Terabytes does $1.5 billion buy?
We know they make mistakes/act carelessly/are sociopathic cunts [delete as applicable]
FTFY
Most of those people are guilty as sin.
They may have infringed upon some copyrights, but they don't deserve to have their whole lives destroyed for that. (USA)
Why is being addicted to a game shameful?
I was using the groups aspect of it until it started hassling me every few hours to upgrade it... but the permissions had changed to wanting access to pretty much everything on the phone.

Don't be creepy says the creepiest company on the web, spying on people worldwide to a degree that I'm sure the NSA envies.

". If someone robbed a store of $100 worth of merchandise, had an arrest warrant issued at the time, then spent nine years on the run, would it still be unreasonable for them to be arrested today?"
No, too long.
PS
Beta sucks, ditch it or at least listen to the criticisms of it and fix it accordingly.
I'll bet apple could access anything on the phone that the police wanted, after all, they have root, not the phone user.
Plug it in, make sure it's got a signal and supply Apple with a court order - is that so hard?
+1 to that although as others have mentioned, the fact that beta posts are being modded up and not down is a vote in itself.
But for now I don't think they're really hearing us - if they had heard us we'd be hearing about some kind of compromise - it hasn't happened.
It seems that more and more mathematicians are using a new, high level language named "research student".
