and that would be wrong. the obvious thing to do in all these cases is to enable the security feature by default and allow the informed user to turn it off if they wish. you could even prompt the user....”
This is exactly why Apple is different to other companies, they come from a point of positivity and TRUST and don't join in the FEAR and negativity based vibe that most of the world lives in. If you choose to live in fear, then all the "security options" are there for you to implement. However, I choose to live from a place of trust, and so far my life hasn't disappointed me once.
A few weeks ago I went round all the mobile phone shops wanting to actually hold a iPhone 4 in my hand, guess what, none of them would let me! All their phones were so tightly locked up you could hardly touch them, let alone pick one up. Of course, all the other smart phones on display weren't even real, just mock-ups. How refreshing it was to walk into an Apple Store the next day where you are actually trusted to pick up and use their products. No wonder the world is in such a sorry state, expect the worst and go looking for it, then you will almost certainly find it .... and more. I, for one, am so looking forward to the day humanity wakes up.
