Ho-hum first date with Apple at Black Hat

 Apple today gave its first-ever talk at the Black Hat security conference, and it left me feeling like I’d had a really disappointing Match.com date with the hottest guy on the dating site.

The vaunted Apple decided to show up after snubbing the event for 15 years. As manager of the platform security team at Apple, Dallas De Atley seemed to have everything a Black Hat attendee could want — popularity, experience, discriminating taste, a good sense of style, and a promising future. Playing hard to get only makes us want you more.
