Darlene Storm: Hacked memo leaked: Apple, Nokia, RIM supply backdoors for gov't intercept?

After hackers snatched an internal memo from India's Military Intelligence
servers, dirty details made with mobile manufacturers 'in exchange for an Indian
market presence' suggest RIM, Nokia and Apple (RINOA) provide "intercept
backdoors" for governments. What started as a story about Symantec Norton source
code stolen from military intelligence has now morphed into allegations of
government backdoors for spying, intelligence agencies around the world, and an
expert who suggests to "assume evil" and trust neither Apple iCloud nor
Microsoft Skydrive encryption.
