Apple and the NSA

 The book neglects to talk about one aspect of technology companies that has been in the media recently, security. After the release of many classified documents by Edward Snowden about the National Security Agency (NSA). Many questions have been raised about the safety of private information by technology users. Companies like ATT and Google (who have already been tapped by the NSA) have vowed to begin protecting users by encrypting their data. With the release of the iPhone 5s, which contains fingerprint reading technology, speculation about fingerprint database sharing with the NSA and FBI has gone public. I think if Jobs were to still be alive, he would do whatever it takes to protect the customer from the leaking of their personal information. I am skeptical that the new executives at Apple will respond the same way as Jobs now that Apple isn’t as private of a company.
