The amount of jobs and small companies Amazon has ruined is mind blowing.

Makes me sick that a company like Amazon can undercut the competition by selling goods below cost.
Amazon stays afloat because they pay most of their executives with stock options instead of cash.  And Wall Street keeps inflating Amazon stock, so they are part of the scam also.

How is selling goods below cost NOT anti-competitive?  How can other companies compete if Amazon is willing to take losses on every book they sell?

I don't know for physical goods, but Amazon is not selling an e-book below cost, The production cost for an e-book is a few cents per item.   All other costs are a percentage of the selling price.  So any e-book sold  for $1 or more has a healthy margin.

Each time someone from any branch of the government gets on camera to discuss this lately, they (1) prove Apple's point, and (2) demonstrate they are not speaking after learning all the facts.

Case in point. "Just treat this as they would any other customer request"

Ok, as a long time Apple customer, let us walk through this.

I have this encryption option turned on

I forget my passcode

I try 9 times

I know the next time I try, I will have a bricked/wiped iPhone

I go to the Apple Store.

They say, "well, we might be able to get you your data back from an iCloud backup (which they've done in this case). The last one I see if from 3 months ago" 

My reply, "But you're Apple. The AG told me I should come to you. That you would do everything for me"

Apple, "We are. This is the best we can offer you. We do not possess a way to get into this phone and disable the feature"

Thanks AG Lynch. You're right. They should treat this as the would any other customer. And since they can prove that is exactly what they did? Case closed.
