Good for Apple. Amazed, but they are fighting tyranny ... whatever the motivation.
Looks like to me that Apple could comply with the order and unlock this one particular phone and not unlock all the others of the same model.
Bttt

Explains it so even a cave man will understand. Thanks for posting.
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.

Let's think about that for a while. Now, you know how badly the press is reporting on these issues because you have a lot of familiarity with it. What about those subjects that you don't have a great deal of familiarity with? Why would one believe the press would do any better in these other areas?
Something I've noticed about folk I've dealt with over my life is that just about everyone has at least one subject that they are fairly knowledgeable about.. It doesn't seem to matter how ignorant they may be about the vast majority of topics, but there is pretty much always something they know pretty well.
I've noticed that when you ask people how accurately the press portrays this subject, the answer is almost uniformly negative. The press is almost always wrong, or at least horribly misleading.
For some folk, when I talk to them about this, you can almost see the light bulb over their heads as they begin to comprehend the implications...
