  • FBI agrees to help crack iPhone 6 and iPod tied to Arkansas murder trial, but method unknown

    The FBI is likely playing silly mind games, and themedia just seems to be lapping it up with zero serious questioning or skepticism. 
    Since this came from an Arkansas prosecuting attorney and not the FBI, why do you think the FBI is behind this? 
    Because the two parties have been in direct communication with each other and, straight after receiving the offer of assistance from the FBI, Prosecutor Hiland announces to the press.

    You think it beyond the realms of possibility that deals like this can (and do) occur on a daily basis in the world of politics?

    You're probably right.

    If there's anything life has taught us it's that government servants and officials are utterly trustworthy, are of outstanding moral character, and never hold grudges.

    If I didn't know better, I'd say the FBI (F*cking Bloody Idiots) were attempting a little bad PR payback against Apple by frequently referring to (now) being able access their devices.

  • DOJ confirms successful iPhone data extraction, withdraws encryption case against Apple [u]

    Not good enough.

    The American government, via James Comey, just had a crack at the American people's right not to be spied upon by their own government. They will put their tail between their legs, slink off, and try again at a more opportune time in the future.

    Teach the American government a lesson. Demand the resignation of the Director of the FBI. Teach them that whoever tries this sh*t again in the future will be jeopardising, at the very least, their career.

    He deserves to go based on the FBI's technical incompetence anyway.

  • Proposed Senate bill grants courts authority to force access to encrypted data

    It's really quite simple.  Apple sticks a few of those fancy circular desktop computers in a back room with one employee dedicated to overseeing them, maybe a Genius Bar employee on rotation out of a local Apple Store.  When the government comes around with an iPhone that needs hacking, Apple rips the data off the phone, sticks it on one of those Mac Pros, and flips the switch.  The software starts brute forcing both the passcode and the iPhone hardware key.  The Genius Bar employee gives an estimate to the government suit as to when he should come back to get the decrypted data.  Typical wait time is on the order of 70,000 years.  "Would you like an appointment card, or will you remember on your own to come back on that day?"
    70,000 years in the future the FBI gets the data off the phone that they so badly wanted:

  • First look: New 9.7-inch iPad Pro is Apple's most advanced tablet

    gtrgtr
    You know I already have an iPhone 6S Plus that wobbles in the current Apple dock because it's not in a case. If the new iPad is also going to wobble because it's not in a case then I'm going to chuck a serious wobbly.

    This is blatant case-ism.
