BLITHERING IDIOT AND HARDCORE DURIAN APOLOGIST. LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SHIT DON'T STINK EVEN THOUGH WE ALL KNOW IT DOES BECAUSE I'M SUPER CULTURED.

I wonder if TouchID + iOS 8.1 might bring Apple's version of user accounts? The groundwork already seems to be there with Apple IDs, TouchID, and the family sharing stuff that landed in iOS8. Regardless, I'm hoping for a polished, smooth presentation tomorrow. Apple's been uncharacteristically sloppy lately. :(

Apple wants you to think of an iOS device like your toothbrush: use it every day, buy a new one every once in a while, and never ever share it even with people you're really close to. The point of touch ID is to uniquely link the device to you, not to let a bunch of different people log in.

If they do change course and introduce something as big as user accounts, though, it won't be on a point release.
