While that may be true this is a new level information i dont care about...

Why in the hell is this considered...technical?

What makes you think that Apple has any interest in your privacy?

I would like to add some constructive conversation instead of banter about the cert...how does this get around malware/rootkit software that is embedded in the mobo or bios. How is this really any different than a LiveCD of Kali Linux or something?

ruffyenon Quote Stream - Push real-time stock quotes in JSON over web-sockets with node.js

I caught the stream changing things up right in the middle? What is the deal with this? -- ie this was on the main page where it is looking for AAPL and not MSFT
