Apple’s Interest In Healthcare Grows With Hiring Of Privacy Counsel

Interesting article about Apple's new counsel hiring:
Apple's Latest Hire

Few things I found particularly interesting:
1) It seems like large companies are taking privacy protection seriously. There is speculation that this hiring is related to Apple's upcoming products that will collect more volume and a greater range of data about us. Not only does Apple seem to be prioritizing innovation (as always), but also privacy protection that is proportionate (somewhat).
2) Law Jobs! As law students most of us have anxieties about our careers and abilities to secure jobs. Apple's specific hiring of a lawyer specializing in privacy shows how our profession is also evolving to meet the needs of the world today.
3) It seems almost inevitable that companies want more access into every facet of our lives. As the article suggests, there is a strong indication that Apple is venturing into the health-lifestyle areas. Naturally, health information is one of the most sensitive so I feel like Apple has made a proactive decision to develop its technology in this area with privacy in mind (hopefully this holds true when these products are released)
