Doesnt shock me at all. not 1 bit.

*edit* the source of that story is a parody site. nothing true about it. Still, it wouldnt surprise me either way lol. Did you hear iOS7 makes phones waterproof too now? lol

By now it's common knowledge that Apple work with the NSA/GCHQ so I for one saw this coming as soon as I saw the technology (although they did originally deny this would happen) for me this is just one more step towards a very slippery slope for Apple.

I thought you were kidding. I hope that no one has downloaded
that software. If someone has, he/she shouldn't be allowed to use any kind of electronics.
