Tim Cook has flashed the two-fingered salute at White House dinners, Hollywood premieres and casual strolls. Here are the photos of the Apple CEO giving the peace sign:
Laura Miller, a specialist in Japanese culture and linguistic anthropology at the University of Missouri at St. Louis, said the contemporary practice of making the V sign when posing for photographs originated with young women in Japan starting in the 1980s.
The two-fingered gesture is now so common in East Asia that “it is stripped of any specific meaning and is simply the nonverbal equivalent of saying ‘cheese,’” Miller said. Giving the peace sign might be the only thing that the buttoned-up Apple CEO has in common with K-pop celebrities.AdvertisementChester Wisniewski, a digital security specialist with the firm Sophos, said it’s plausible but too stupid to be likely.
A 50-megapixel photo of someone a few yards from the lens “could reveal a moderately detailed fingerprint,” he said. “To what end? Not much.” If crooks wanted to impersonate Cook by re-creating his fingerprint to unlock an iPhone or Mac, for example, Wisniewski said they would need to have his physical phone or computer, too.“If I steal your iPhone and need to unlock it with your face I will probably just hold you at knife point and use the one attached to you, not make a new one,” Wisniewski said.
