US Attorney General Loretta Lynch talks iPhone encryption case with Stephen Colbert
"Attempting to provide context, Colbert INCORRECTLY claimed the Department of Justice wants Apple to create a backdoor into iPhone" INCORRECTLY??? WTF AppleInsider. This IS a backdoor!!!!!! If doing this allows them to then easily break into the phone it is a fk'n backdoors! Period! Quit repeating the absolutely moronic position of the government! Otherwise go work for the National Enquirer....

Government says Apple arguments in encryption case a 'diversion,' presents point-by-point rebuttal
And the same government that can't even protect its own supposedly secure top secret data like millions of people applying for high security clearances. The government position is laughable, and these lying SOB's should themselves be prosecuted and fired.clemynx said:"the very institutions that are best able to safeguard our liberty and our rights."
The same ones who illegally collected data on millions of American and foreign citizens?
Now they are just insulting our intelligence.

Eddy Cue says FBI could force Apple to secretly activate iPhone camera, microphone if precedent is
So then stop reading them, as you obviously lack the understanding of the content. It is quite obvious that if the government can compel Apple by court order, or legal mandate, to write software to make the phone less secure, then that opens up the door for them to force tech companies to provide additional software that obviates the security of the device, including steaming content live camera and audio. They are already able to do this through the phone network so why would they stop with just this one request? The logic is quite obvious and true. Especially when you have so many suppressive involved in our government and law enforcement.tenly said:I'm disgusted by the fear-mongering on both sides of this argument. I really need to stop reading the comments on these FBI vs Apple articles. Doing so gives me heartburn!
For example - this article implies that *IF* the government is successful here, then one day they *may* have the ability to secretly turn on your camera and microphone. That's a true statement - but it's misleading in that it implies that if Apple wins this fight, it protects us from the FBI directly accessing our cameras in the future.
In reality, they are not really related at all. The FBI will go after the camera and microphone access in the future regardless of what happens here. Win or lose in this particular case doesn't mean much as far as the future is concerned. This is one of the first battles in what will be a very long war. A loss will hardly slow down the FBI. They'll be back - again and again - trying different angles - trying the same angles in different courts. Other countries will definitely join in making demands of their own. Settle in folks. This privacy and security issue is one that will be here for a very, VERY long time.

Early reviews peg Samsung's Galaxy S7 as a serious contender for best smartphone
There absolutely is a real tech advantage with the iPhone - the software, software and hardware integration, and total ecosystem. These are core elements of Apple's differentiation.macapfel said:It's a very mature market. I don't expect this to change. iPhone and Galaxy will be like Mercedes and BMW. The best you can get, and it comes down to your personal preference. I don't see how one could gain a real technological advantage over the other in the near future. But of course, iPhone will always be smarter, more stylish and simply the best. I'll never change for Samsung!
