He was a really angry guy who shouldn't have even been allowed near guns legally. He lived a pretty comfortable life but he was a messed up person.
It’s based on the San Bernardino case where the FBI was kicking and screaming to gain access to that phone. Stop acting so smug.
Dude calm down, it’s a forum and I’m speculating. Did you have a bad day or something? Geez.
Apple knows that if they create a skeleton key, it could easily be stolen from the FBI and then released into the wild. It’s beyond me why that’s so hard for these federal agencies to grasp.
Fair enough, I just don’t like the way that guy was replying to me. Have him on ignore now.
We all are probably on edge over this whole thing. A lot has been going on lately. I know that getting upset won't help or change a thing but hopefully everyone will soon band together and do something. Then less of us will wake up in the morning with a loss heavy in our hearts.
Can't count how many times i facepalmed while reading this ridiculous comment. As if we can only buy an iPhone just by lining up at the store and nothing else. He chose church because he's stupidly obsessed being an atheist.
From that same article: "After the FBI said it was dealing with a phone it couldn’t open, Apple reached out to the bureau to learn if the phone was an iPhone and if the FBI was seeking assistance. Late Tuesday an FBI official responded, saying it was an iPhone but the agency was not asking anything of the company at this point. That’s because experts at the FBI’s lab in Quantico, Va., are trying to determine if there are other methods to access the phone’s data, such as through cloud storage backups or linked laptops, these people said." FBI doesn't seem to be complaining here.
Thank you. It's still really hard to grasp just how quickly a life can be taken away. One day you are reading their post about wanting to go to a picnic, the next their family is writing that they are gone.
What I bolded in your comment. That would be comforting. That would be predictable. That would be standard operating procedure for the agencies. Unfortunately, that's not what they're doing. That to me, is more worrying. For them to tell Apple, "Hey, thanks for offering to help, buuuuuuut we're going just go, uh ya know, in a different direction. Kinda just, like, let our boys at Quantico tickle that phone's undercarriage to see what it give up. <winks> But hey, if we need your help we'll call ya a'ight. <pats Apple on the butt>
Same. As a prospective gun owner (no guns yet but soon), I'm frustrated with the gun regulations in California, especially because some of them seem purposed purely for inconveniencing gun owners. So I'm tempted to join the NRA because it seems my rights are under attack. But they're a lobby group, and half of them are also crazy, so no.
Hey, Apple's fault for having a vulnerability in the device, if one exists.
No worries. I actually might be misunderstanding you, but you're saying you're worried the FBI is cracking the iPhone without Apple's help, right? I'm saying that it theoretically shouldn't be possible anyway.
