Apple should just hook up like a single 486 based PC and tell em "Ok, we're working on it, it will be ready at one point between now and the next 342 trillion years"

That would be a good tactic.

This is really fascinating, can't wait to see what happens next. It's like a soap opera. 
 
Apple shouldn't be forced to do anything in this case, it might (and probably would) create a dangerous precedent. Also pretty sure Apple can't do shit about the encryption on that phone.

I'm not a security engineer or a comp sci major but it seems like there is some confusion. If I'm wrong, just correct me.
 
Apple cannot decode, decrypt, or put it some numbers to unlock the iPhone. It is an encrypted phone and I think we all understand that the purpose of encryption is to keep the phone secure.
 
The thing about encryption is that it's not impossible to crack but with good encryption, brute force methods by hand could take (i'm guessing here) hundreds of thousands of years? Making it virtually, uncrackable. Which is good because its supposed to be encrypted or secure.
 
What the FBI wants is for Apple to rewrite the fundamental security pillars of iOS and allow iPhones to be brute forced by supercomputers without a time out if you guess wrong. This would allow the FBI and more importantly ANYONE to brute force into any iPhone. So rather taking a million years, it could be cracked in lets say, 2 days.
 
The problems Apple has with this is:
1. They find it ironic that the FBI is forcing their security engineers to literally make the iPhone less secure.
2. In the wrong hands, the information and contents of any iPhone, regardless if you're a criminal or not, could be accessed.
3. Such precedent could lead to Apple being forced to hand over location records, health, financial etc.
 
I don't know about you guys but I'd rather not live in a police state. IMO!!! The people should be monitoring the powers of the government.
 
 

but amazon stopped selling chrome cast on its site :\

Simple. A cop sees you flying a drone, asks to see your registration. Don't have one? Sorry, governments drone now. Also you pay a fine.

Fucking stupid, what defines Drone Vs RC Device, also taking the "issue" (there is no issue) completely the wrong way.

6gb of ram
i know android aint the best on memory management but damn

Why don't schools provide students with ACTUAL computers rather than 600$ tablets?

Pearson... Don't get me started... they own Edexcel (an exam board in the UK), which supposedly stands for Education & Excellence. I've yet to see evidence to support that claim

Unrelated to this, I hate Pearson.  Always had problems when I did use it and usually just crap software/interfaces.  May have changed since I was in class, but somehow I doubt it.

LA is using pearson to teach it's students, well that's a sure way to lower the quality of your education.

Pearson is shit anyways. 

Last week, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) reached a settlement with Apple and Lenovo over a conflict involving software from curriculum provider Pearson Although the conflict involves Pearson and LAUSD primarily, the curriculum provider was a subcontractor under Apple and Lenovo, so the settlement is between the hardware companies and LAUSD Although Pearson has defended its software, saying that other school districts are satisfied with it, LAUSD has charged that teachers were not trained to use it and that the software itself had glitches. In addition, “During the first year of the license, Pearson provided only sample units of curriculum, rather than a finished product,”

one of your modular test benches definitely makes my top 5 list

Internet cafes are still a thing? 

I wouldn't because:
Diseases I'd own it outright and not go to an internet cafe for this stuff

It's still a misleading name for the plan.
