Apple secrecy is bitter fruit on Hill
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple is famous for its veil of secrecy
| around the new iPads and iPhones. But Sen.
| John Rockefeller and others in Congress
| wonder whether the company has more than
| technological innovations to hide.
|
| [...]
|
| "When people don't show up when we ask
| them to ... all it does is increases our
| interest in what they're doing and why
| they didn't show up," Rockefeller said of
| Apple and Google, which both declined to
| testify. "It was a stupid mistake for them
| not to show up, and I say shame on them."
|
| [...]
|
| Like Microsoft and Google before it, Apple
| is getting attention from regulators as it
| grows and starts to compete more directly
| with other technology heavyweights.
