In a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black, the NSA
reportedly called Apple co-founder Steve Jobs "Big Brother," while also
describing iPhone users as "zombies."
In documents leaked by the German news magazine Der Spiegel on Sunday, the National Security Agency suggests that Apple and Steve Jobs are controlling and observing the public.
In fact, the NSA has been spying on Americans' email data and phone data
for years. In its story Der Spiegel revealed that the NSA accesses data
from all major types of smartphones. The NSA also seems to have access
to iPhone geolocation tools and other data, Der Spiegel reports.
Der Spiegel obtained slides from what looks to be an internal NSA
presentation. One of the slides obtained by Der Spiegel actually uses
images from Apple's "1984" commercial,
which played during the 1984 Super Bowl. The whole purpose of that
commercial, of course, was to show how Apple would help people avoid an
oppressive society, not to start an oppressive society.
"Who knew in 1984... that this would be big brother... and the
zombies would be paying customers?" the slides ask. On the slide
referring to "Big Brother," there's a photo of Steve Jobs, and on the
slide about zombies there's photos of over-excited Apple fans with their
new iPhones. You can see the slides below:
