Say what? It adds yet another vector upon which you can lose control of your data. But that's not the original point anyway.

Keep in mind, the original parent was discussing privacy of data, not security. It's very aparent that a majority of people don't give a shit based on their actions.

I suppose you are free to not believe this, but it's quite obvious.

In any case, not "giving a shit", and "not giving a shit AFTER your payment processor was compromised" is a very different thing.

They might not give a shit in principle. But they sure will raise hell if anything happens to them -- especially a big breach affecting tens of thousands or even millions.

And if Apple is the one having the breach, the media will also have a field day, like with all the BS -gates (antennagate, bending-gate, etc), but this time with a very real and very important issue...
