A fine day so far.... Up. Apple is in the headlines in a different way lately. Shouldn't the uncertainty be spooking everybody?

STUPID article. Classic example of gun control fail. The shooters used a straw purchaser to buy & illegally transfer the gun (just as pro-gunners warned would happen with the Brady Bill), they bought high capacity magazines that were illegal in California but available all over the world, and they illegally modified the guns to fire full-auto. You know, like in France where they have strict gun control, and just had 128 people killed with illegal AK's?! Meanwhile, DHS gave open and notorious jihadists visas without even reading their Facebook page, because that would be mean and racist. So let's curtail every US citizens' rights, instead of concentrating our efforts on securing the borders and not letting bozos into the country. SMH. Cold dead hands!!

Great article, thanks for posting it. I'm expecting cooler heads will prevail once people understand the implications of creating this backdoor. And according to the AP and Reuters a NY Federal judge just denied the government's motion to compel Apple to hack an iPhone used in a drug case. Maybe a hopeful sign on this front...

Breaking News ... well, at least interesting news: Apple Wins in NY iPhone Case NBC News is the source
A New York judge says the U.S. Justice Department cannot force Apple to provide the FBI with access to locked iPhone data in a routine Brooklyn drug case. U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein ruled Monday. The decision follows a California magistrate judge's order requiring Apple to create software to help the U.S. hack the iPhone of a shooter in the Dec. 2 killing of 14 people in San Bernardino, California.
In October, Orenstein invited Apple to challenge the government's use of a 1789 law to compel Apple to help it recover iPhone data in criminal cases. Since then, lawyers say Apple has opposed the requests to help extract information from over a dozen iPhones in California, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York.

So no precedent. Good PR for Apple nonetheless. With Scalia dead and gone, Apple's chances are less promising in the long run.
