Right now, I'm glad it is Apple under pressure, because it took the rest of the tech companies a long ass time to file those briefs in support of Apple's position. Can you imagine, if it were a Nexus phone what might have happened? Maybe Google would have just gone and written the code to break encryption before they knew what they had done! Maybe the FBI should have started with an an Android or MS phone and they would have had their precedent. Too bad FBI made a public issue out of this when they could have continued working with Apple behind the scenes. Apple has thought out this issue ahead of time and that's a good thing.

Aha. Now we see another important reason why Apple doesn't boot Google from its list of search engines on iOS. It's because they would go straight to making their own in-house phones. Well, then again it looks like they may do it anyway. Hope Apple kicks them to the curb.
