Looks more like an orange.
Apple did it like seventy times before; allowed the phone to be hacked. So what’s the big deal now? Oh, they support the mussies and their atrocities.

Look at the liberals all wrapping themselves in the constitution for this.
I have been buying apple since the 1984 commercial, but no more. My first computer was a Mac Plus. I have three devices now.
Three thoughts.
1. I remember Madison saying that electronic companies were exempt fro court ordered searches. That they could sell devices which would prohibit the government from caring out lawful searches.
2. I am inventing a file cabinet which is encrypted and cannot be opened by police or FBI who have legal search warrants. Price, only 1 million.
3. Obama should nominate Tim Cook for the USSC so he can rule over all searches and not just the ones involving apple products
Big government supporting socialists should stick together!
Whatever. If you follow islam you need to be monitored or naked among your chosen idiocy. Hack the islamo killers and be done with it.
Don’t use Apple products anymore.
But Apple is right here, and I agree with them.
GUBmint wants access? Break in yourselves.
Apple cannot be compelled to destroy it own business.
“Atlas Shrugged” in full view here.
If not careful, Apple will Go Galt and disembark to more favorable lands and let the ChiComs have the encryption technology.

Text of the court order here: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160216/17393733617/no-judge-did-not-just-order-apple-to-break-encryption-san-bernardino-shooters-iphone-to-create-new-backdoor.shtml
Here is the heart of it:
“Apple’s reasonable technical assistance shall accomplish the following three important functions: (1) it will bypass or disable the auto-erase function whether or not it has been enabled; (2) it will enable the FBI to submit passcodes to the SUBJECT DEVICE for testing electronically via the physical device port, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other protocol available on the SUBJECT DEVICE and (3) it will ensure that when the FBI submits passcodes to the SUBJECT DEVICE, software running on the device will not purposefully introduce any additional delay between passcode attempts beyond what is incurred by Apple hardware.
Apple’s reasonable technical assistance may include, but is not limited to: providing the FBI with a signed iPhone Software file, recovery bundle, or other Software Image File (”SIF”) that can be loaded onto the SUBJECT DEVICE. The SIF will load and run from Random Access Memory and will not modify the iOS on the actual phone, the user data partition or system partition on the device’s flash memory. The SIF will be coded by Apple with a unique identifier of the phone so that the SIF would only load and execute on the SUBJECT DEVICE. The SIF will be loaded via Device Firmware Upgrade (”DFU”) mode, recovery mode, or other applicable mode available to the FBI. Once active on the SUBJECT DEVICE, the SIF will accomplish the three functions specified in paragraph 2. The SIF will be loaded on the SUBJECT DEVICE at either a government facility, or alternatively, at an Apple facility; if the latter, Apple shall provide the government with remote access to the SUBJECT DEVICE through a computer allowing the government to conduct passcode recovery analysis.
If Apple determines that it can achieve the three functions stated above in paragraph 2, as well as the functionality set forth in paragraph 3, using an alternate technological means from that recommended by the government, and the government concurs, Apple may comply with this Order in that way.”
Any hardware level ,
programmer with,
a data map and zsh,
can unlock the iPhone.Apple has done for the FBI ,
over 70 times before.Why not now ?,
Who is implicated ?
Do you agree with this article, or don’t you want to say? I believe they can and should get into just this phone. I don’t think it needs to compromise anyone else’s phone or privacy. These guys are criminals and this is evidence. It may lead to saving who knows how many lives. I don’t think that this is any different then investigating someone’s house if they are being tried for terrorism and murder. We have privacy of home, but that goes when there is every reason to believe that someone is a terrorist and murdered people. Then the police get a warrant. This should not happen without a warrant.
Apple is 100% right in this fight. What the government wants is the source code that will allow it to gain back door entrance to EVERY iPhone at will. Don’t believe all the “national security” bullshit that supposedly justifies this grab for warrantless intrusion into EVERYONE’s private affairs at ANY time. Good people are far too willing to give away their liberty whenever Big Brother tells them it’s for their own good. Just remember, the safest place on earth is inside a maximum security prison cell.
There is a really good discussion about the FBI request to Apple on Twit.tv with Leo LaPorte, “The Tech Guy” and Steve Gibson from “Security Now” (he joins the discussion in the middle of the show).
It is on the Twit.TV show “This Week in Google”. You can watch it by streaming the video, or downloading the video or audio (for free) at this URL.
