Do you want me to buy apple products and post inane comments about the line at Starbucks to twitter? Because that's how you get me to buy apple products and post inane comments about the line at Starbucks to twitter. Which incidentally is non-existent right now, the store is pretty quiet at the moment.

Well, then. Consider them exposed! Shock! Dismay! Heaven forfend! (That&#x27;s a real word, btw. Read a book.)<p>Sarcasm aside, good. They want data, get it the old fashioned way - steal it and hope they don&#x27;t get caught.<p>Besides, it&#x27;s not like anyone from the CIA ever goes to jail for things. You know, like torture, human rights abuses, etc., etc., so getting caught thieving information that&#x27;s pretty much public should be worthy of perhaps a mere glance in their direction and maybe and &quot;ahem&quot; from some Congress-critter.<p>Steady on, John McCain. You&#x27;ll find a real outrage someday.
