Wow this made my day. I think my faith in Apple's privacy concerns got a much needed revitalization. Privacy and encryption are the number one reason I stick with iPhone and Mac with File Vault. It was always hard to completely trust them after PRISM. However, that was arguably a different Apple.

This stance against the government come poetry reaffirms my faith in the genuineness of Apple'e encryption efforts and Tim Cook specifically.

If this is your main reasons to choose a OS you clearly should use Linux then ;)

I prefer FreeBSD :)

No code from [redacted] makes it an excellent choice for the privacy conscious.

I use Slackware in the cases where I need a Linux kernel. I think that might give you an idea of what I'm trying to avoid. [redacted]

Anyways, I use *BSD daily in VMWare Fusion for any development that isn't related to iOS. I also do my email and web surfing in OS X because it's simply more pleasant.
