“Apple caved. FBI promised to not make them look bad.”

I agree.Apple lines up an Apple expert that knows how to hack the phone and the FBI hires him as a “consultant” without admitting the complicity with Apple. FBI gets what they want while Apple commercially gets to project that the Iphone is still secure.

Are you kidding? This result makes Apple look LESS secure. Some unnamed company breaks their vaunted encryption in a week?

I'd be ashamed I put up so much caterwauling about it. Now they just look silly and ineffectual.
