They didn’t destroy the algorithms, they merely made iOS 8 with enhanced security and on-device encryption of the filesystem without a backdoors that is tied to the device. That new version no longer has apple’s developer access. Old apple tools no longer work on iOS 8 and above. Now we are at 9.2.1

Jailbreaks require the iPhone to be on and the OS unlocked in order to implant the hack and execute unsigned code. Since nobody can get past the passcode, the file system is encrypted. Removing the flash memory will destroy the pass key.

It’s believed that the massive celebrity nude photos leak was because hackers would reset iCloud passwords and then “restore” the cloud backup to one of their phones, offloading all the photos in the process. Since then, Apple put stricter security in place, you cannot restore to a new phone after a password reset, I…

The ownership of the phone is a moot point; Apple’s Terms of Service say that the responsibility of data on the device is that of end user and Apple is not liable.

Actually I DO think this above the capabilities of the NSA (not that the NSA is allowed to investigate any Americans to begin with), the OS encrypts the entire relevant file system with keys generated on-device. They're stored in such a way that removing th flash memory would wipe the keys. Apple has had 10 years to…

That would also guarantee every intelligence agency in the world would try breaking in and taking it. The US government can’t even keep its own classified docs secure, and the TSA “master key” leaked out to everyone, meaning any airport suitcase can be unlocked.

No, Apple is correct in this matter, both in technical details and civil liberties. Steve Jobs would have definitely backed Cook here.

They’re bound by the terms of service.

If a non-gray person replies, it kicks the original comment out of the grays.

That’s a terrible headline. Not “everyone” saw through these. I was stunned about Ned Stark, amazed about Jon Snow, and my mouth fell open when I learned about Khan.

Not really. Rand Paul’s politics are not all that unpopular, but since Trump sucked all the air out of the room and drove all these high school dropouts to the polls, he looked minuscule in comparison.

Tritium only has a half-life of 3 days I believe. Once they fix the issue it will go away fast. Problem is this leak is darned hard to find, from past history.

Disagree. Did you watch the behavior of her campaign in 2007-2008? She isn’t better than Sanders here.

Rumsfeld is a disgusting human being who deserves to rot in prison. The fact that he’s selling a lousy game is not enough humiliation.

That’s an impressive strawman. No, they should simply have the same say as every other state and not be given the Kingmaker status in our primaries.

Even Mitt Romney admitted to using a fake police light when he was younger and pulling over people as a prank.

feels the actions of our troopers clearly did not violate established procedures or tactics.

I wish we renamed the movement to “Black Lives Matter Too,” so we can shut those people up who seem willfully ignorant about it.

This comment is known as “concern trolling.” Ignore and move on.
