One has to wonder how - in this world filled with anonymity enabling services like Tor or even Pastebin - it is still possible to hide a secret, out in the open

One has to wonder how - in this world filled with anonymity enabling services like Tor or even Pastebin - it is still possible to hide a secret, out in the open.
This is old news. Felix Salmon spelled it out in no uncertain terms when Mr.Cook was first named CEO, in 2011. [1]
The best place to hide something - not that Mr.Cook himself wanted his sexuality hidden; he merely did not want it to grab all the attention, away from Apple - is still in plain sight.[2]
This also begs the question, if enough vested interests or powerful people want something not to be talked about, is the fact still worthy of its truth value?
This applies to the trivial case at hand - of Mr. Cook's sexuality - as it does to the countless secrets of great gravity that were largely ignored - concerning at least a dozen nations not including the U.S. - that Wikileaks exposed.

- wozniacki 12y agoHuh! What reason would you have to find even this observation disagreeable?
- jshevek 12y agoIt's curious how some people downvote but won't comment. It's almost as if they'd rather hide their prejudices, than have their prejudices be brought to light.
- Karunamon 12y agoProbably because you bring Wikileaks to an unrelated Apple article. There is a time and a place for discussing the failings of the world's governments. A thread discussing a CEO who is able to come out of the closet is not that time or place.
