<blockquote cite="http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/05/four-short-posts-12-may-2009.html"><p>For the record, I'm a noted privacy freak and I don't pretend to speak for anyone else on this topic. I know that resistance is futile. I continue to believe that there is a great divide on sensitivity about privacy - you've either had your identity stolen or been stalked or had some great intrusion you couldn't fend off, or you haven't. I'm in the former camp and it colors the way I view and think about privacy online. It makes me indescribably sad to see how clearly I and others in my camp are losing this battle.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">&mdash; <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/05/four-short-posts-12-may-2009.html">Marc Hedlund</a></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/identitytheft">identitytheft</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/marchedlund">marchedlund</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/privacy">privacy</a></p>

<blockquote cite="http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/04/four-quick-posts-11-april-2009.html"><p>The App Store has an inscrutable, time-consuming, whim-dependent approval process. The App Store newsgroup postings are full of angry claims that this is a bug, but I bet it's a feature. If you can't get an app approved until it's working perfectly, and you have to wait a week or two -- or more -- between approval rounds, you're much more likely to put a lot more effort in up front to get it right.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">&mdash; <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/04/four-quick-posts-11-april-2009.html">Marc Hedlund</a></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/apple">apple</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/appstore">appstore</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/iphone">iphone</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/marchedlund">marchedlund</a></p>
