   Hi Chris,   
      
   Happy New Year!   
      
   I'll ignore that you're constantly hurling insults to focus on the   
   technical issues we've been discussing that you need to process fully.   
      
   1. I'm currently running the experiment I said I was going to run.   
         
   2. These three access points have been set up in a random home.   
      a. no opt out directive, no hidden-beacon frame   
      b. opt-out directive, no hidden-beacon frame   
      c. opt-out directive, hidden-beacon frame   
   3. I already know what's going to happen as I understand what Apple does   
      But as you can surmise, I've been busy with other things lately.   
      
   What you need to process fully is I already proved it was trivial.   
   You don't understand the proof so there's nothing more for me to do.   
      
   A. You don't understand what the original code does   
   B. You don't understand what my modifications to the code did   
   C. And, you've never run either the original code or the modified code   
      
   Just from seeing my results, everyone who processed the results can   
   understand how trivial it is to reproduce what the researchers claimed.   
      
   I simply reproduced it.   
   And it was trivial.   
      
   To understand how trivial it is, you need to process the proof provided.   
      
   Since you haven't processed what we've done, nor what the researchers   
   actually said about the process that I, myself, proved was easy, it's not   
   really going to help for me to give you the same proof over & over again.   
      
   If I felt like it, and if I felt like dedicating the disk space for it, I   
   could easily obtain two billion GPS:BSSID pairs out of the Apple WPS db.   
      
   Just like the researchers said anyone could do.   
      
   Once I have the two billion pairs (the researchers said it took a few weeks   
   but a determined malefactor would invest that time) I can track the APs.   
      
   That's for every access point in the world (that's in Apple's WPS db).   
   It would be less for every access point in any given state, of course.   
      
   I already wrote the script to track an AP that moves more than 100KM.   
   You haven't processed that proof yet, but I gave it to you weeks ago.   
      
   What's so hard about changing that script to be one specific locale?   
   It's trivial.   
      
   For you to require me to modify the script to do what it obviously can do   
   (and does do, but for 100KM at this point), is not worth my time, Chris.   
      
   If you can't process the proof you have, then there's nothing more anyone   
   can say to you, because you have to be able to process it to understand it.   
   --   
   There is no way anyone can provide enough proof to someone who is bent on   
   defending Apple's actions to the death, no matter what proof you provide.
