but the Justice Department is starting to make Apple look like heroes with their heavy-handed bullshit.

The amusing thing about this last bit is that by the time a case reaches the SC and a decision is reached there will be have five more operating systems deployed.

Quote:Justice Dept. suggests willingness to escalate fight with Apple by demanding ‘source code’
Quote:In what observers of the case called a carefully calibrated threat, the U.S. Justice Department last week suggested that it would be willing to demand that Apple turn over the “source code” that underlies its products as well as the so-called “signing key” that validates software as coming from Apple.
Together, those two things would give the government the power to develop its own spying software and trick any iPhone into installing it. Eventually, anyone using an Apple device would be unable to tell whether they were using the real thing or a version that had been altered by officials to be used as a spy tool.
Quote:But many people expect the iPhone matter to reach the U.S. Supreme Court, and thus even fallback legal strategies are drawing close scrutiny.
