    The elephant in the room is the incompetent foreign policy of the U.S.  The wife of the terrorist had a Facebook page that showed her terrorist beliefs, but due to the politically correct insanity of U.S. immigration policy, the immigration check was forbidden from looking at her FB page! 
    Can this be even remotely true?

    The better argument is the 4th Amendment, unreasonable seizure (of property). It takes employee (highly paid employee) time to produce a workaround for each of 17000 phones, and we are not going to give you the keys to our kingdom......
    They're going to use a whole plethora of means, Apple could put a mountain of lawyers on this one and make the FBI suffer.
    Hope so. I'd like to see them play hardball with the FBI whose incompetence possibility set back their own investigation by several months.

    i hope Apple digs its heels in.

    At issue here is the safety of American Citizens...what right does a terrorist have when it comes to that?  And why would Apple want to defend them, or help keep secret any part of any conversation they may have had, or messages they may have sent, and to whom they were said, or sent?
    If it were my company, I would open it up for this phone only, and any future consideration would be made case by case...
    Congrats on your first post.
    May I suggest you lurk and do some catchup reading before your second.  ;)

    1) I'm a little surprised by this. Not that I don't believe that Jobs always wanted and knew that controlling the the HW and SW was key to truly great products, but I would have assumed it was other employees that would have finally done the convincing for ARM and PA Semi.

    2) Wishful thinking or is this another piece of the puzzle that Apple will eventually support ARM on their desktop OS?

    Oh I'm sure the media and Wall Street will read all kinds of things into this profile. Some are already convinced Apple is working on an ARM Mac this will just convince them even more.
    Surprised? I'd be dumbfounded if Apple wasn't running several skunk works with this in mind, already. In fact, it would be a failure of mind blowing proportions given their silicon track record to date.
