Factually incorrect - arguing that Android app's are an example of Java applets. Quite different - Java Applets run in the browser and are right up there with Flash for exposing security vulnerabilities.
Anyone with any sense disabled Java in the browser an eon ago.

Apple just responded to newly released documents claiming that the U.S. National Security Agency has a method for gaining backdoor access to its iPhone.

Apple CEO Tim Cook received a compensation package of $4.25 million for the 2013 fiscal year, a 2% increase over the year before.
But the board also dinged Cook to the tune of nearly $4 million in stock vesting reductions, citing Apple's subpar performance compared to the S&P 500's for the 12-month period. Poor guy, now he can't even afford a Mac Pro
