Um, socialists in DC, try corporatists. See, despite what some media figures tell us, the fusion of the corporation with the state is actually defined as fascism. Sorry, but it does matter to get the definitions right. Now, in order to get this back on topic, I'm sure that now they've been caught with their pants down so to speak, they'll have to give us the option to not have that feature on. If they don't, well, as the ultra-conservatives who think socialism is evil say, it's your free market choice to give up the iPhone and your choice to give up accessibility. After all, the free, unregulated market can fix everything. When the corporations in their infinite benevolence see that we are voting with our dollars and opting out of the technology they offer, they'll naturally do the right thing for the citizens without any government interference whatsoever. Sorry folks, but seriously, can we try to keep the friggin politics off the list? Believe it or not, some people are conservative, and some of us are liberal. Some of us are gay, and some are straight. Some are Christian and some are Pagan. We have multiple cultures and races on this list with many different beliefs. We all have our differences, but we come together to talk about our Apple products. It's the thing we have in common.
