“Apple has some cozy relationships with the U.S. government. Last month, CEO Tim Cook had a nice seat at Obama’s State of The Union Address. There’s the online Apple Store for Government, where federal employees and military personnel can get special pricing (paging Laurence Vance). There’s having Al ‘Global Warming Climate Change’ Gore on the Board of Directors. There’s the 8 million iPads sold to indoctrination centers (aka “schools”). And now (1 month after Obama’s speech) news comes out that the U.S. Army has an order for 650,000 iOS devices.”
