Can't wait for "We pioneered InfoSec by our first-of-kind innovative bug bounty program" @ next WWDC.

It's not like this got broadcast without Apple's marketing team's sign off.
I don't know why. Personally, I've got devices running the spectrum of OSs and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.
Do you think Apple gets more than Microsoft on HN? Please read any thread with Microsoft or one of their products in the title and you'll see M$ get bashed every single time. Google gets it too, from plenty of people.
Anyway, they deserve everything they get. Each one of those companies have made large crowds of enemies for various reasons.
Complaining about company bashing in general is fine by me. If you don't like it and you don't want it on HN, then I'm with you. You're just defending Apple though and that comes off as tone deaf and severely biased to me.
In any case, I don't see the mods banning people over a little poke like this. So, if people like it and upvote it then you should probably just counter with a downvote and refrain from commenting and derailing the entire thread like this.
Sorry you got offended. I thought it was funny and relevant.
Usually when people make derivations of this "joke", what they're really responding to is that Apple is marketing or talking about something they did with their own take on it, and they just can't help themselves from pointing out that someone else did it first, even though the implementation may differ completely. The Touch ID sensor is one example that comes to mind.
Or if you prefer "thanks, after this I'm going to buy a Nexus 6p"?
