I don't really take orders from students, rob. Especially ones who don't read the article and are named studentrob. :)

  I read it, Ian. I didn't see them call him a messiah anywhere. Is the word transparent like your comments are now? Also, I'm no longer a student in the traditional sense. That's sort of a life mantra of mine, to be perpetually learning. You can think of it as the opposite of your world, in which you think you know everything.

How about the first paragraph? > Apple hires plenty of interns all year round, but one particular addition > revealed this week caught the eye given the company’s current position > opposing a controversial order to enable the FBI to access the iPhone used > by one of the San Bernardino shooters. // Of course it's worth writing about, but it certainly would have been higher quality reporting if they didn't immediately link it to the FBI story.

  That is hardly a misinterpretation of events. They're just saying, "hey, there's this software developer who's done some work in the field of security on an app which is famous, and he's going to work at Apple during a time when some issues with Apple's security are in the news. And we noticed and we want to share that with you" It's interesting. Tech Crunch can write about whatever they want. If you don't like the article, downvote it and move on. Perhaps Ian is just jealous nobody is writing an article about him, because he is clearly smarter than this developer.

    TechCrunch can certainly write whatever they want, but it becomes problematic when they think a single tweet is newsworthy. When news outlets start writing puff pieces about memes[0], you know that we've all collectively hit rock bottom.
