Jobs gets it right

In an article about hacking iPods on macobserver.com there is a quote from Steve Jobs about why they didn't spend big money trying to build encryption into the iPod:

"Every security scheme that is based on secrets eventually fails,"

IMO, this is one of the most brutally honest quotes from any industry leader that I know of. If Balmer were to comment I'll bet he would bitch and moan about how "security through obscurity is the only way!"
