I suspect we would all know if Apple were spying on us. Really think there still secrets anymore?

Of course there are huge secrets that have yet to be revealed. If there's anything to learn from the 20th century it's that huge projects can be maintained in relative secrecy from the public so long as the denial is plausible. After all, it's become clear that "secret" is not sufficiently revealed when those convinced of its truth are regarded as cranks and crazies.

I'm certain that decades hence we will be shocked to discover what is going on now, under our noses.
