Sword, you and I have had VERY heated discussions, and you know damn well that I’m a blue-blood Microsoft boy all the way through. This transcends platform. This is 1984-level shit here. If the government could bully any private entity into giving up the keys to their intellectual property, Katie bar the door!
Is Apple Picking a Fight With the U.S. Government?
All of the carnival barkers were crowing then about how this is going to make it hard on law enforcement. Apple NEVER said that their encryption is uncrackable, as is clearly evidenced by the FBI's efforts. They just wanted out of the business of violating their customers' trust!
Absolutely. These know nothings are so convinced of their opinions are facts, there is no moving them. I've actually enjoyed your and my repartee in the past because you are not a know-nothing. You approach things from an educated position. We disagree, but pretty much politely, if heated.
These characters ignore any facts that do not meet their world view. . . and read things through distorted lenses, such as DL's reading of the Court Order as saying that Apple could actually keep the iPhone 5C after they unlock it, even though it is evidence in a major terrorist attack. Nothing I told him about the rules of evidence would sway him that he actually read that in the court order. . . but it simply is not there. He just calls me a liar, and says go read the court order again, it's there. I've asked him to QUOTE the exact words, but he just says "Read it yourself, it's easy to find." They are delusional in their hatred for Apple.
