FBI director calls for restart of smartphone encryption debate
I just don't understand the logic of this discussion.
Assuming 100% of all smart phones had zero encryption, there would always be many third party applications that encrypt messages on the fly. Many of them are free and quite effective. Most such developers are not subject to American law. I see no way to stop them. So why burden iOS or Android with laws designed to weaken encryption? Such restrictions the FBI and other authorities want defy logic.

Judge orders Apple to access iPhone belonging to San Bernardino shooter [u]
It's somehow comforting to know that nether the federal government nor Apple can hack into my phone. That's the way it should be. We just need to find other ways to fight terrorism that do not jeopardize the privacy of millions of Americans. Apple is taking the correct stance on this issue in my opinion.

Donald Trump promises to make Apple manufacture in US instead of China
He did not say he would "force" Apple to do anything. There are many appropriate ways to "get" companies to use American labor - assuming they are available. Tim Cook says they aren't. Others say they are here. The truth probably lies somewhere in between. The tax, regulatory and union environment in the US discourage companies from expanding in the US. Trump might be able to influence some of the needed changes for Apple to build more computers in the US.
