There it is… A notch more evidence to go along with what I was saying the other day (not here) about Bluetooth not being secure enough yet. Dread! Bluetooth keyboard… Passwords getting sniffed out of literally thin air. *ahem* Pardon the paranoia.
“I told him ‘I know it’s absurd, but that’s Apple’s mentality, not mine,”’ he said. “Apple acts like it’s the Pentagon.”
