   What Apple does is what "makes Apple look bad", not me.   
      
   What's important is that Apple's WPS database implementation is insecure.   
   That's not opinion. That's fact which was described in the research.   
      
   Google's WPS database access is nothing like Apple's WPS database access.   
   Anyone in the world can access Apple's entire WPS db without restriction.   
      
   All I did was reproduce what the researchers said was easily possible.   
   And it was.   
      
   What the researchers didn't note, and which I learned, and I'm likely only   
   one out of millions who knows this, was not only does Apple not respect   
   their own published privacy policy on opting out, but they have no   
   intention of respecting their published privacy opt-out policy.   
      
   This is not opinion.   
   This is fact.   
      
   Only one out of millions of people know what I just said above.   
   We know it because we're extremely intelligent and well informed.   
      
   Bear in mind if Google or Mozilla did what Apple did, I would be on their   
   case too, because what Apple is doing is the antithesis of what Apple   
   "says" it does.   
      
   It's legally, morally & ethically reprehensible what Apple is doing.   
   If Google or Mozilla did what Apple does, I'd say the same of them.   
      
   But they didn't.   
   Only Apple does this.   
   --   
   I'm here to help others understand the deeper mechanics of WPS that   
   most people never comprehend (& that Apple marketing never explains).
