Hrm...I can see the rationale for that. After all, if a problem is discovered, especially with the current practices not being sufficient, the the powers that be have to do something about it, right? I suppose plausible deniability is a nice thing, so long as it's not their open sores rotting with Staph infection. I was thinking that with Steve Jobs about to get serious medical treatment, it would be interesting to see if his medical doctors show up carring iPads with his medical information on them. Perhaps the doctors are using opensource, non-FDA-approved medical image software for diagnosis [1]. Or perhaps those same doctors' iPads ealier in the day had a couple of kids playing Angry Birds, and later that afternoon, after meeting worth Mr. Jobs, the doctors will be at Starbucks, using their iPads on a open wireless connection? Let me be clear in that I wish Mr. Jobs the speediest full recovery and that my heart goes out to his family. But I do hope that with his downtime and likely exposure to iPads in medical environments -- that is, his own treatment -- he will gain some insights and clarity concerning the risks of consumer devices used in these environments. We're eating our own dogfood now, no?
