We have such short memories.  Once again we're one big terror attack in the US away from everyone then complaining about why the government hasn't done enough to protect us.  Well they're (gov) trying to do something but we don't want to unlock a freakin' phone?!  Come on people.  Get over yourselves.  No one cares about your uninteresting personal lives.

As, what a marvelous job the media has done on you, to convince you that this is how the world should be. A climate of fear mongering bullshit, where the never ending threat of "terror" scares fuckwits like you into giving up all sense of freedom and privacy...the rights guaranteed to you.

And why am I not surprised this comes from a generic user name 1-off poster? Can someone say government-sponsored shill?

Apple's refusal to unlock an iPhone 5c used by San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook 

It is accurate and disingenuous phrasing like this that has caused confusion.

Apple would have no qualms about complying with a court order to unlock the phone....if it didn't require compromising the security of iOS in its entirety for all users.

Not selling to bigots is also discrimination.

Christ, people are so stupid.

Can we please just put an end to this nonsense? Apple is not releasing a self-driving car in the next 30 years, because Apple releases products that actual people will actually use in the real world.

I'm so sick of tech-blogosphere's delusion over self-driving cars.

You do know that self-driving cars are a real thing, right?

So what? What does that have anything to do with real world adoption? This is exactly what I'm talking about. The Tech Blog Hounds have followed the progression of self-driving car projects to the point of maturity, and then just assume, whelp, thats it, just a matter of time now before they're everywhere. Nope. Not how it works.
