Seriously???? What a bunch of clown fish. AI why are you printing this BS without any rebuttal???? This is not journalism but copy and paste.  Lets start with the headline...."...Serious Contender For Best Smartphone". According to these clowns?

Let's start with... "the software could use some work". Maybe this "article" should have ended there... but let move on.

Ed Baig, USA Today
Praised the industrial design? What, Like how it still looks very close to the iPhone slim design, rounded edges, etc.
Would like a removable battery ( Ed must be a dinosaur... We've move way beyond this point...)
Shiny back - smudges and fingerprints, and Ed, do you think maybe slippery to hold?????

Dan Seifert, The Verge
Lets see how his praise sounds - slippery back, software is lacking, bloatware, too many default apps, interactive edge feature buggy and mostly a gimmick so turned it off... Wow!!! Yes, must be a great contender!

Geoffrey A. Fowler, Wall Street Journal
Oh, the battery. Wants more whiz bang features like Apple's 3D touch... yes, quite the competitor... and lets copy more of Apple.

Sascha Segan, PC World
Likes the exaggerated and unrealistic colors of the Samsung screen - not that we can't come close to duplicating that on the iPhone with filters and brightness control... but hey, who cares about color accuracy... And finally, couldn't really recommend it over the iPhone because of the iPhone's superior software and apps. Wow!!!!! 

Enough said. Time to move on...

Comey & Vance - go fk yourselves! You can't have your cake and eat it too. Do your fk'n jobs with the resources you have! Like what you had to do BEFORE smartphones! Your job descriptions haven't changed.

They are playing to the stupidly of a large portion of our population. Unfortunately there is an ongoing dumbing down of this country. 

As to Lynch, it is in fact providing a way for you idiots to break into phones. So stop the bullshit...you're trying to use semantics to justify your position! By Apple doing what you ask, they in effect are breaking into the phone because they gave you the tools to do so. It's called being an "accomplice" in you legal vernacular you twit, which in legal terms would make them guilty of the crime.

I'm just wondering what type of investigation Apple sees as worthwhile.   Let's say someone doesn't like Al Gore, whom is a former Vice President in America, and a Director at Apple.  Then what happens?

Just sayin'.

Please go find somewhere else to park your stupidity.

What a bunch of suppressive, fascist fk-ups.... Stand strong with Apple on this one... The government is trying to use this emotionally charged event to prevent us from securing our private data and must be stopped. This is not what a free democratic society is about. Then again, we are the best "democracy" bought and paid for by legalized corruption called lobbying and unregulated massive "donations" to the political process.
