Bullshit.

Don’t call the safe maker to do the locksmith’s job.

“I find it interesting that this article does NOT touch on the fact that this is not a personal phone, but a government owned one, and the government agency has given permission for them to open it.”

Your analysis of the (very valid) safe analogy is lacking. The equivalent of “calling a locksmith” would be if the government forced a hacker or independent computer expert to hack into the phone. The FBI is not calling the locksmith, the FBI is calling the safe manufacturer. Please go back and reread.

Obviously you didn’t read this article at all. Kate used a good analogy with the safe. It isn’t important that Apple is refusing but the reasoning why they are refusing.

Slippery slope.

“The FBI is calling a locksmith...”

Sorry, but your analogy doesn’t fit the case at all. They are not calling a locksmith. A locksmith can only be obligated to try and open a safe, but he can neither guarantee that he will succeed nor that he will do so without damaging the content. Calling the locksmith would be the equivalent of asking a hacker to…

Your reading comprehension is shite.

They aren’t calling a locksmith. The closer analogy is that they’re calling the makers of the safe and telling them to start building the safes in a way that the government can access any of the manufacturer’s safes at any time in the future without having to call a locksmith.

Not sure what article you read, but it clearly wasn’t mine.

Define “Assault Weapons”? Big, scary, BLACK guns? Take your average “assault” weapon and put wood furniture on it, and it’s a hunting rifle. AGAIN, the problem is NOT the guns, but the PEOPLE who use them!

My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale... You can only get it on Tidal.

Is there a gofundme yet to send Kanye to Mars? I’m in for a year’s salary.

I wish they had lit it from the base.

If we didn’t have Rob Bricken, how would we be able to tell when to be “appalled” at all the “problematic” things in culture?

That’s Rob for ya!

Yeah, I thought this was one of the best episodes I’ve seen in a long time. You know that when the first bulletpoint under “Assorted Musings” is the writer defending their opinion before anyone’s had a chance to disagree, there’s a problem.

It’s almost as if we watched totally different episodes.
