I just left the following 1-star review on the iPad version of the Amazon Video app: "Where's the tvOS version of this app? I don't want to watch movies on the small screen when I've got a big screen! Like General Tarkin learned, "the more you tighten your grip, the more ... systems will slip through your fingers." Lighten up, Amazon. You can't cry foul for business tactics related to Apple TV when you've already got an iPad and iPhone app out here."

Didn't the FBI (or was it the DoJ?) come out and say yesterday that Apple had never objected to any of the previous requests for information, contrary to what Apple claimed in their Open Letter? If this is true, then the FBI has been caught in yet ANOTHER lie. The others: 1) This will not set a precedent. Proven false by the queue of police departments now lined up with iPhones in-hand, waiting to be unlocked. 2) The County did it! Proven false by the County stating that they were working under the FBI's orders. 3) Sending Apple on a 2 week wild-goose chase to initiate iCloud backups after they'd already reset the password. 4) This is not a backdoor! Well, technically, yes it is. If the FBI's technical people don't know what a backdoor is, ... wait, the FBI doesn't know what a backdoor is??? Bwahahahaha!!! Riiiighhhttttttt... 5) We're not breaking encryption! Except you're asking Apple to bypass the system's security, so that you can brute-force-guess the password to... yup, break into the encrypted device. 6) The code will never leave Apple. Except for the data to be entered into court, the defense will rightfully have to do due diligence and ask to see the code to make sure that it is valid and the data is therefore valid -- in their labs, not Apple's. Geez, 6 lies -- no, 7 -- right off the top of my head. This is unconscionable.
