Isn’t he running from the law for a murder charge or something?
Back in the earlier days of computing, McAfee and Norton were the best (and only) ways to go. In more recent decades they have become hit-or-miss bloatware.
McAfee himself is likely clueless on current smart phone encryption methods and is simply looking for headlines.
I bet I could use a him to come in and set the time on my VCR. Been flashing 12:00... 12:00... 12:00... since 1982...
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 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.

and on SlashDot
It would take someone like McAfee to do it. Go John Go!
If I were from Apple the only way I would develop this decryption software would be so it would have a self-destruct mechanism in the software so it could only be used once.
I have No trust of the FBI.They have had a very checkered past with violations of people’s rights to privacy all the way to murder.So why should the FBI be trusted with this capability?
uckfay uoyay, ohnjay afeemcay...
break that code, sucker.
apple, tell the fbi you cracked the code on that phone... it was islam.
The FBI should due some real investigating and investigate all the phone numbers connected with this cell phone instead of trying the easy way out.
Our FBI is filled with the types of people who send 50 agents to Ferguson to attack cops - based on NOTHING... accept the lies of black and white criminals.
Some in the FBI and IRS have targeted conservative Americans for their political beliefs... and that type person - a 'true believer in State Power' will 'share' backdoor information with corrupt liberal elites in our Congress and the Administration. Share with people who bargain classified information away to our enemies - while receiving millions of dollars for 42 minute 'speeches'.
Best NOT to share... We live in a world gone bad, run by evil liberal elites... people who will sell their souls - - and our safety - - for 'donations' and high priced 'speeches'...
Maybe we're better off letting terrorists kill us randomly than having our 'betters' hand over the keys to the kingdom ...
the man apparently misunderstands the situation
he is mountain izing the ant hill of one phone
