Call me cynical, but this reads like some shall we say "special interest group" has decided to take potshots and has fed this to their talking head aka Senator.<p>Some of the points don't even make sense outside of a campaign of F.U.D.<p>"What if a virus got access to this information?"<p>What a colossally stupid question. Let me see, if there was a virus out there that got access to this information... all the <i>jailbreakers</i> would be screwed.<p>In that case, I'm sure Apple would shed a tiny, perfectly formed polished aluminium tear.<p>You can either scream about Apple's walled garden, or you can play what-if games with hypothetical viruses... but you can't have it both ways.

For a former comedian, Al Franken is sure leading the charge for consumers. We need more like him and less like Lieberman.
