  1. Re:Uber does not seem to be involved... on Alleged Kalamazoo Shooter Picked Up Uber Fares During, After Killing Spree · · Score: 0

    Wow, way to rationalize the killing ass-hole.

    Uber is relevant because Uber claims not to be a taxi service and thus do not have to follow any livery laws. The HUGE problem for Uber is ANYONE can drive for them. The other thing ass-hole is mass-killing like this tend to get reported. So if a taxi driver went on a killing spree it would happen or are you of the George Costanza mind that you typically lose a few fairs to killings....fucking ass-hole.

    Not quite ass-hole.

    "It has not unlocked these iPhones — it has extracted data that was accessible while they were still locked. " http://techcrunch.com/2016/02/...

    Do some research before looking like an ass-hole.

  3. Re:Your legal argument falls flat on N. Carolina Senator Drafting Bill To Criminalize Apple's Refusal To Aid Decryption (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    The US is using the All Writs Act to compel Apple.

    "At its core, the 18th-century catchall statute simply allows courts to issue a writ, or order, which compels a person or company to do something. In the past, feds have used this law to compel unnamed smartphone manufacturers to bypass security measures for phones involved in legal cases. The government has previously tried using this same legal justification against Apple as well." http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...

    So basically Apple needs to take this to the Supreme Court and hope the court doesn't support this argument.

    "The real problem is that the government's claim this is a one-time event is BS. There is no limitation preventing another judge on any other case from issuing a similar order to Apple."

    **This** is the crux of the matter, ensuring it won't be used again or misused. As we've seen with the Patriot Act, the FBI misused those powers. So measure need to be taken to prevent misuse if Apple relents.

    Study the Constitution sometime. The owners of the phone, San Bernardino county, consented to have the phone searched by the FBI and have he encryption broken. So the Fourth Amendment is not being violated. Now if San Bernardino county said no to the search, then yes the Fourth Amendment would be violated.

    You really don't live in the real world where most people have never heard of cable card but they know what a STB is. So when they go to sign up for a service, they can choose between different boxes. Verizon, Time Warner, Comcast NEVER mention cable card. Hell they don't tell you you can watch their stuff without the STB using the tuner in your HDTV.

    The point is set top boxes are another monopoly that they have that can use competition and reduce price. Something cable card does not do.

    FTA: Rogers' claims about Paris contradict the information that came out of France following the attacks. There were claims by former US intelligence officials that encrypted communications had been used by the Islamic State affiliated terrorists in the immediate wake of the attacks.

According to statements from French law enforcement, the attackers had used standard SMS messages to communicate—not encrypted messaging apps on smartphones. http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...
