    An Interesting Dilemma. What Say You?

    Mind you it's good news, much less likely to be a randomly generated pass code, so the social engineers are far more likely to be able to crack it. Tim.

    An Interesting Dilemma. What Say You?

    If this wasn't serious it'd be laughable - Apple implies FBI screwup: iPhone Apple ID password changed in govt possession, backdoor unnecessary | 9to5Mac I guess now we all have to hope it was the criminal that changed it and not someone within the bureaucracy. Tim.

    An Interesting Dilemma. What Say You?

    And no, the DOJ 'offer' is not a reasonable solution. I doubt they are as naive as they appear. If they are its scarier than if they aren't. Tim.

    "Like" button?

    I don't see one but I have mechanisms in place to remove Facebook crap so perhaps it is being filtered for being too Facebook like. Or is it actually a Facebook like button? Tim.

    Count me against. Among other things: When it comes to opinion, I don't care how many people agree or disagree, I want to understand why. When it comes to information, what exactly does a number of anonymous likes add that is useful? Nothing that has any weight with me. I don't even...

    An Interesting Dilemma. What Say You?

    Not just phones - it should read all devices everywhere. Why can't I edit my posts in the paddock? It is not time delay, I can't edit it immediately after I post it. I can edit in other areas, just not the paddock. Tim.

    An Interesting Dilemma. What Say You?

    The problem with the just this phone idea is that the phone is encrypted and apple have no key - iPhones are individually encrypted. What the govt is really doing here is using a single case to justify back dooring all phones. Tim.

    An Interesting Dilemma. What Say You?

    Another thing to remember is that this is a govt asking for back doors in to all iPhones everywhere. Perhaps China should have the same access to your phone? Russia? Iran? Syria? Not to mention criminals (other than govt bureaucracies) who will also exploit back doors as soon as they can. Tim.

    An Interesting Dilemma. What Say You?

    It's an iPhone, Apple won't unlock the spell check for me... It's late here (4 AM) and I'm too tired to maintain the vigilance necessary to stop the infernal device translating me into mercan. Tim.

    The problem with such things is - It "Privacy International has also expressed concern about another key aspect of the IPT's ruling: "The IPT has decided that GCHQ can use 'thematic warrants', which means GCHQ can hack an entire class of property or persons, such as 'all phones in Birmingham'...

    Thread closure

    I support Keith's action. Why is it a surprise that if you constantly sow weeds in a paddock the farmer eventually gets out the glyphosate? Tim.

    Terrorist attacks in Paris.

    I wonder sometimes if the US ever sees any reports of the constant barrage of suffering these hate filled bastards are inflicting on their own people, as well as on the non muslin world. I feel for all the victims of this insanity. Tim.

    Terrorist attacks in Paris.

    Start with an easily manipulated personality (religious upbringing), put them in a polarized environment, let them choose (or feed them) only that information that supports their view and feed them an endless and repetitive supply of that information, encase them in a guns and bombs solve...
