Pro tip. Create an account and log in to post. For many (perhaps most or even all) people, posts by ACs start at -1. This is sensible since most AC posts are completely worthless. Since there is really nothing in your post to suggest it should be significantly modded up, you are likely stuck in that hole.
Congratulations? I have no idea how your personal triumph over _____ (really not rusher what goes in the blank here) is in anyway relevant to this topic.
The fact that their Thunderbolt display is now like 5 years old with a relatively low resolution and is thick enough to be used as a blast shield is a little odd.
I think it is funny people think Apple does not already know what the FBI had done. They suggested several times that the FBI could get into the phone on their own.
The problem for the FBI comes the next time they want Apple to do something. Apple could reasonably request them to explain why the method they used before is not applicable now.
It seems silly that anyone would argue there is anything good about micro usb as a connection for a mobile device. It is flimsy, the cables break all the time and occasionally take the port with them. Just because all of the Android manufacturers (and Europe for that matter) decided it should be some kind of standard doesn't make it good. They suck. Their crap. Micro-usb can't go away fast enough.
Issa is not a great example for this, but we would all be much better off if people in congress had a lot less experience in law and government and a lot more experience doing other stuff.
They need the hardware id of the device which is combined with the pin for the key. The only way to get the hardware device is through a fairly tricky process that could easily destroy the id instead of revealing it.
The FBI Director should be jailed for attempting to conscript a private corporation into law enforcement. The sentence should be doubled for doing so before exhausting every potential avenue within the government.
Apple is also making first amendment arguments: code has been ruled to speech, speech can not be compelled by the government, corporations are protected by the first amendment.
Further down you said we are seeing due process. You would certainly agree then that the the original ex-parte ruling unconstitutional.
Tell me why the 9th and 10th amendments did not invalidate the all writs act when they were enacted. Put that question in front of any rational jurist and it should be self-evident. Unfortunately, judges have been reluctant to take away their own power. Obviously, the magistrate from New York is an exception. The All Writs Act is an unconstitutional law. The fact that it has stood for more than 200 years since the bill of rights just proves how rare this magistrate is.
We don't need a law to give judges power to fill in gaps in the law. As far as the federal government is concerned, the law is explicit. You don't have to be a radical constructionist to believe this. Just a rational human. There is no law or constitutional power given to the government to conscript third parties into assisting with criminal investigations. Due process may compel you to hand over items or testify in court. It can't be used to conscript anyone into civilian law enforcement.
So he can't imagine this would happen there but he has no knowledge or evidence that anything contrary to their position in the US has happened anywhere else in the world? Please note, this case is not about expression, or app censorship, or whatever... This case is about privacy and protecting data. If you have some evidence that they have broken their encryption for the Chinese than present it (you don't). Otherwise, STFU. Seriously.

Your post started at -1 because like so many others you are a coward.

Man, you are so much smarter than everyone else. Must feel great to be you.

Unfortunately most of that .1% is in the US congress...

You know that is just a site where people make pictures of stuff and that was never built right? They had no method of actually doing that.
Well then he didn't really get it did he....
And by sagging profits you mean Apple just earned the most profit in a quarter of any company in history.
How sad for you.

I know I should not respond to ACs, but what the hell. Your lying. Full of shit. Just made all of that up. Hope I was clear.

Was my post the perfect balance between imbecilic and trollish?
Wish I hadn't just used all mine :(

I am fairly certain changing the operating system would make the evidence similarly dubious.

Anyone try to just submit a random string of characters? I am fairly certain it would end up posted.

Apple is the largest tax payer in the US....
