Some questions I’m hoping they'll ask

My questions for Tim Cook

Why is the iPhone not sold as a portfolio product? Meaning, why, after six years, is there no iPhone product range being updated on a regular basis. Having a portfolio strategy is not only followed by every phone vendor but also by Apple for all its other product lines, including the iPad, which came after the iPhone. In other words, please explain why the iPhone is anomalous from a product portfolio point of view.

Don’t let this happen to you

How the Syrian Electronic Army Hacked The Onion

A clear and fast write-up of a modern hacker attack.  I imagine The Onion being staffed with many intelligent and fairly computer-literate employees, yet unsophisticated attacks are extremely effective and possible.  Also a great argument for multi-factor authentication.
