Apple to fix iMessage bug that causes ex-iPhone users to lose their texts. One of the things I hate about closed operating systems is that they restrict consumer choice. The argument is that they are more secure; but, in our NSA world, that is an illusion anyway. Recently, Apple came under fire because its servers wouldn't transmit iMessage texts to and from users who switched to Android. This made a lot of people angry, and Apple has now fixed the problem. But, it highlights a problem with Apple. The company is so paranoid about its systems that users can find themselves locked in. Put me in the Google/Android camp. Power to the people.
