  • US Department of Justice files motion to force Apple to crack terrorist's iPhone

    freerangefreerange
    Fk'n morons - they twist the facts to support their position and make a statement that couldn't be further from the truth - 

    The DOJ went on to say that Apple's refusal to cooperate is "based on its concern for its business model and public brand marketing strategy."

    This has FK all to do with their business model or brand strategy - it is Apple's intense belief that individuals should have the absolute right to protect their personal data. Period. Unfortunately, the DOJ is playing to the continued dumbing down of America that as a whole has little insight into the underlying issues of why it is so important for us to be able to secure our personal data.

    Basically he applauds Apple for standing up to them and then with his "rules" pushes the door wide open against the very thing they're standing against. 

    Once you open the door you open the door not only for the US government but every government under which Apple sells phones.

    And today it's just "terrorists", but tomorrow it's terrorist and pedophiles, and the next day it's terrorist and pedophiles and drug dealers, and the day after that it's terrorist and pedophiles and drug dealers and suspected criminals, and then...
    Precisely! It would have been better for him to keep his mouth shut! But you left out the key .... And the next day it's tyrannies trying to oppress their people.

    You know what pisses me off about how these politicians? They won't ban people on the terrorist watch list from buying guns but rather punishing companies for securing people's privacy. 
    Great point!!!!! The real terrorism is that 10's of thousands of people are killed every year in this country through the use of guns, and we insanely allow people to buy assault weapons and massive bullet magazines. As tragic as this incident was, the reality is terrorism is going on in our country every day. Sanctioned by the US Congress and the NRA. The NRA being the largest terrorist organization operating in the US based on being a ferocious enabler.

    Ridiculous short sighted paranoia .. Unlocking a phone by a court order is not the same as a back door…. Or conpromising an activly encrypted phone when in use. Plus Government can search my home with the proper court order. The most privet place to me . Government can tap my land line with court order. And has for decades with proper court order. Government can confiscate my computets with proper court order and search the HD… ( iphone is a pocket computer ) This is not an either or case …… Its way more complex and consequential to just leave it in hands of dogmatic idealism . Creat the proper provisions and everyone wins. Times changes… so should we… … Thats fundimental to survival. In the meanwhile apple is loving the Publicity .. ;)……. It may even all be by design …..(. After all its months we have been screaming for apple PR to wake up)..lol
    How clueless can you possibly be. You obviously have no understanding of what is going on. Apple is most definitely being asked, nay, required to build a back door, which does not exist, by a federal judge. Such a back door would create a situation where any legal entity or government, wether good or bad, could demand the same. Further, this would most certainly eventually be abused for illegal hacks. The government can't even protect their own data - why in the world would we give them access to ours, and open up a vulnerability to hacks. We are spending 10's of BILLIONS of dollars a year on national security. Let them do their job with the tools they have.

    What a JOKE. Tim Cook claimed the software might fall in the wrong hands. Hey, the iPhone already fell in the weong hands, how about that? Plus, my mighty Apple even can't keep a SW safe? Sad. Third, AAPL just uses this as publicity stun to sell more junck!!!
    Go crawl back in your hole, or alternatively go get yourself a good education.
