  • Manhattan DA calls on US Congress to support bill requiring mandatory decryption

    Cyrus Vance Junior is a political hack and an ignoramus particularly regarding the importance of end-to-end encryption and personal privacy. I live in New York City, and I can't wait until the next election when we can vote this idiot out of office. He originally got elected on the coat-tails of his esteemable father Cyrus Vance Senior, but has proven over and over again that he is nothing like his dad, and has embarrassingly lousy judgement.

    Remember Dominique Strauss-Kahn the former French politician who was arrested for raping an immigrant maid in his hotel room years ago? And how Vance screwed that up big time and had to let the guy go? Same clown.

  • Apple turning comparatively low profit on iPhone SE despite cheaper parts, analyst says

    "Apple's bill of materials is probably about $260"

    Q: How can he know what Apple is paying for the parts?
    A: He doesn't.

    "that would indicate a profit margin of roughly 35 percent, lower than the mid-40s estimated for the iPhone 6s"

    Just what the stock market needs, another so-called Apple analyst guesstimating, conjecturing and making stuff up to support a completely unverifiable conclusion to justify a job... doing what exactly? Gossiping.

  • FBI's iPhone unlock technique could be kept secret by White House review group

    The FBI has been demanding collaboration. But 'collaboration' is a two-way street.

    QUESTION: After being lied to by the FBI, and bullied and threatened, and then lied to again all in a big public grandstand – how can the FBI expect Apple, or any tech company to ever trust them again?

    ANSWER: By offering to 'collaborate' and share what they know – regarding how they can now break into their iPhones.

    This "sharing" issue is less about technology and security, and more about the future relationship between law enforcement and tech companies, and getting the public's trust back.

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

    FBI Director James Comey accomplished one thing, and one thing only, with his public grandstand against Apple over encryption. That he is a pathological liar. The FBI deserves better leadership. Comey should resign because of the damage he has done to the FBI's integrity.

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

    Apple needs to spend more on lobbyists. Congress is for sale, and Apple can afford to buy it five times over.
