Making a switch is one thing, but using Linux from the start for OS X would have made more sense. The only reason that didn't happen is because of Jobs' attachment to his other bab…

Ah thanks for explaining lol, got it!

Not every agency has access to every other agencies data, and that's how it should be. There is nothing stupid about implementing principle of least privilege at the government lev…
