IBM does this, or at least my department does. And they're hiring. And firing. But in different areas!

I have to say, just because of the privacy implications, I'm much more inclined to use Apple Pay than CurrentC.
Re:The Nightmare of Replacing a Battery on a Mac Laptop on Wednesday October 28, 2015 @12:13PM (#10465252)
I bought mine (15" pro) because I wanted

- A high resolution display - Decent battery life - A good keyboard - A Unix based OS (Though I'm fine with Linux) - Hardware that feels good to use

The MacBooks are easy to compare to pick the one you want, all look good, and you're pretty well guaranteed that you're going to get what you expect, even if it costs a little more. On the other hand, to pick another manufacturer, you have to dig a lot to even start finding what the options are, much less to refine them. I paid $X more to get a macbook and not go through that :P

I've used Lemon before for a compilers class at Uni. I was using yacc before, and can say that the Lemon syntax is much more pleasant to work with.

"First party data" even almost has a better connotation.
So what manufacturers do seem to care about security? If I wanted to buy a car made in the last few years, who is least likely to be cracked?
