As much as I would love to believe in Apple (and any other large tech company), a part of me still thinks that maybe they are working with the government in this letter. The FBI knows that the average US citizen does not want to be hacked. What is to stop the FBI from allowing Apple to say these things and put on a show publicly while simultaneously giving over the 'master key' anyway?
BlackBerry failed to keep the positive aspects of it's legacy platform fucntioning when modernizing the platform.

I used to run an environment with something like 25k devices... Provisioning and management was braindead simple with legacy BlackBerry, and it's integration model for mail & calendar was robust and reliable. Most users considered BB more reliable than any other mail access methodology. PIN messaging was device-centric vs. identity centric, which made it attractive or many use cases. That also went away, along with the perceived and real security benefits.

That benefit became a liability -- BlackBerry was very "enterprise telecom" and mail-centric. So the people who were responsible for BlackBerry were very much affected by tunnel vision. That's why BlackBerry was surprised by the market shifts -- their customers were very happy, but were ultimately people with an overly narrow focus who were disconnected from the business.

When BlackBerry switched to the ActiveSync model, they became just another ActiveSync device, with the added "benefit" that the rest of the platform was a mess. They are now trying to leverage their past reputation for good management to become an MDM vendor for some reason.

iPhone slaughtered Blackberry by attacking their strengths... BBM/PIN messaging with iMessage (with the added feature that you cannot intercept the messages if the feature is enabled), the obvious improvements of iOS vs. Blackberry OS and an easy institutional management model.

Yes, Lenovo sales and support are pretty hopeless. Just got to factor that fact in. Must say Apple are pretty hopeless unless you get Apple care.

Anyway, the real problem in my mind is that there is pretty much no competition to Intel nowadays.

You might as well argue that two wrongs make a right.

They don't though. We should all be helping underdeveloped African nations reach a basic level of education, economy and healthcare so they can decide their own future in the world.

As it is, they're being economically suppressed.
I'm betting there are similar vulnerabilities in the current "Apple doesn't have the keys" versions of iOS and the hardware. For instance, do a similar mandated firmware update to the secure enclave, and now you get unlimited guesses at a PIN.

edit:

Ah, I've found a couple of sources claiming that the secure enclave wipes its keys if its firmware is updated. Makes sense.
What do you want thone other companies to get behind? They don't manufacture phones like Apple does, right...?

MindMaze, Maker of a ‘Neural Virtual Reality Platform,’ Raises $100M
True. But Apple, with such a focus on UX, cannot reasonably afford more than ~200 millisec when checking a password; and still it scales linearly, so the solution for concerned users still involves creating a more complex password. Doubling the amount of time it takes to hash a password will have the same effect as adding 1 more bit of entropy to the password, which can easily be beaten by adding a single character to it.

Financially China can handle it, though when those loans default, the chain of events will also have some global consequences.

The question is, when the loans do default, and with it some effects to the real economy/people, what happens to the public perception of the government in China? There is a good chance of social unrest
You probably meant "this is tantamount". Otherwise, I don't understand what you're saying. Are you claiming the backdoor already exists, or that it does not?

Same here. When I recently had to upload a 3 GB file, I split it in 3 and uploaded one part with each of my (3G) phones… 45 minutes instead of the 4 hours it would have taken me with my ADSL line.
So, it is basically for people who don't want or can't distribute their work using proper data modeling and multiple distributed processes.

Don't get me wrong, there may be use-cases where this is actually the best approach.
But having 1 OS with many, many NUMA nodes (that's how I guess the OS sees the cluster) is also very hard to get right. You need to program NUMA aware and use local memory where possible, all kind of locks will become very, very slow so you need to program lock-less where possible or have some sort of transactional memory.
Anyway, I would say that the gain you get by using Threads will most likely be overcome by the complexity in memory management and data structures to reach good performance.

Message passing is much easier to program and allows easy encapsulation of modules and test abilities.

Cool project nonetheless :)

I agree that I am definitely not the target market.

However, if you constantly wonder if the thing is actually doing anything, if it registered your touches, apps disappearing because they were killed by the OS, the whole thing will just not be discoverable or learnable and will be discarded as not useful, even by people who never used another phone.
You said:

"But Apple's letter uses the expression "technique", which I think means they're worried the government will get another court to make them change the serial number and sign a new image "next time""

Apple's letter directly claims that the particular piece of software created to comply with this request will reduce the security of it's users. Obviously this means that Apple does not think that the SIF being hardcoded with the unique identifier of the phone (sufficiently) mitigates the risk.

"make no mistake: Building a version of iOS that bypasses security in this way would undeniably create a backdoor. And while the government may argue that its use would be limited to this case, there is no way to guarantee such control."

Having re-read the OP more carefully, I think ghshephard is making a different claim than you. He is pointing out Apple's arugment about the 'unprecedented use of the All Writs Act of 1789'. If Apple can be forced to compromise their security via court order like this, the FBI gains the power to force Apple and any other US company to insert backdoors / decrease security.

"If the government can use the All Writs Act to make it easier to unlock your iPhone, it would have the power to reach into anyone’s device to capture their data. The government could extend this breach of privacy and demand that Apple build surveillance software to intercept your messages, access your health records or financial data, track your location, or even access your phone’s microphone or camera without your knowledge."
Meh. Then the attacker can simply replace the hardware. Remember, our attacker model is Apple; non-cryptographic security measures mean very little to a company with such complete knowledge of the hardware and software involved.

How can you say this seriously. Not only orthographe is extremely important to the health of the language itself but also to its health abroad. How can you teach the language to someone if while reading two texts you encounter about 10 different ways of spelling the same word.

And contrary to you I speak as a fairly horrible French speller (mostly due to my own lack of attention in class and the fact that English is my first language for over a decade now).

> Many social problems in French society -- including, I really think so, recent outbursts of "terrorism" -- have at least some roots in the actual terror and tragedy of orthographe.

They have, and I really think so, roots in people like you pointing the fingers anywhere but where the problems are. Seriously, orthographe as a factor in terrorism, jesus fucking christ what the fuck.

It could also be that the FBI has already obtained the info, or can obtain the info through illegal means and simply want to use the issue to force legislative and policy changes or public opinion changes in their favor, and or just want to legitimize their having the information.
Parent was asking a question, "is this not tantamount to x?" With the expected answer being "no, this is not not tantamount to x" which reduces to "yes, this is tantamount to x."

In this case, the intended answer/conclusion/implication is "yes, this is."
That's an okay one, it's broken in some ways (assumes you're selling your home after the mortgage is up, or that buying 100% of the home up-front doesn't make any long-term differences. It doesn't figure into standard of living deltas over time or time-value of money.)

So now it's just your reasoning that's broken.

Here's the tl;dr - You need to pay for housing no matter what. Do you buy and rent out your property to somebody who'll pay your mortgage and costs for you? Or do you pay those costs for somebody else? Assuming an equal start, the property owner comes out somewhere around $1-2mil ahead of the renter over 30 years, and has housing in the end.

For those parameters, on a $500k property, you would need to find an equivalent property to rent for $1,491/mo for 30 years for renting to be "better". After which the renter has no housing and the owner has housing into perpetuity.

Good luck finding equivalent housing under $1,491/mo for that kind of property. In most areas in the U.S. at least, an equivalent property rents out for far higher than $1.5k/mo. In the areas I spot checked it was more in the range of $2.5-$3k/mo.

This assumes the owner only ever keeps this particular mortgage, never pays down the principal, never rents any of their rooms out or takes any other cost saving measures that aren't available to the renter.

Meanwhile percentage of income required to live in that property will stay the same for the renter while going down (relatively) for the owner.

If you fiddle with the down payment slider, you'll note that no matter what it's set to, it doesn't make all that much difference in the ratio. Set it to zero since you can finance 100% without too much fuss. Now this sets things as equal, there's no additional money to invest for the renter other than some imaginary delta they would save by renting at rates far below any available realistic market rental rate.

The renter still has to find property to rent about a thousand dollars less than the going rental rate in the market he's in, then still has to find housing at the end of the 30 year period.

If the owner decides to sell at some point along the way, they can convey the stored value of their property into their new property. The renter has simply burned all that money and will rent forever, at increasing nominal costs pegged to inflation or current market forces (whichever is greater).

So that I don't have to repeat myself again, here's an excellent write-up on the topic. Assuming an equal start, the property owner comes out somewhere around $1-2mil a head of the renter over 30 years, and has housing.

> Really? If the FYI requests any data, they hand it over...?

They have to, there's no legal wiggle room here. Creating backdoors OTOH seems to be sufficiently legally questionable that Apple can risk noncompliance.

(Of course, Apple could not accumulate all that data in the first place, but that would be silly, obviously. Now please sync your wifi passwords to iCloud.)
Nowhere in this letter they say that it's possible and it seems very carefully worded to avoid stating that. They say, if it were possible they wouldn't do it anyway. That's an important legal and moral distinction.

To be fair, they could have stated it explicitly.
Surprising the FBI doesn't have a division of highly paid individuals who can crack iPhones... There are plenty of people online with a vested interest in this topic who I'm sure you could hire to help.

My guess is that this is more about pushing back the law and peoples rights than is is about getting access to this device.

But then I'm highly cynical about what the government claim they can do with technology for obvious reasons.
if the data is small, I would convert it to JSON first, it would be one less thing to have to do in your code.
Would you complain about Apple handing in information to solve the murder of a loved one? Why is it always the "bad government" argument? It's not that it doesn't happen, but usually those requests are aimed towards more "mundane" cases.

For example, I have friends who work in law (though not in the US), and the number 1 data request -which is revised by a judge, and only then given by companies- are call logs from telephones (just from/to, date, time, duration, nothing fancy). And this are extremely helpful and information rich, if you know how to use them.
As other have noted, the distinction is between fingerprints (all of them) and the correct fingerprint (one of them).

If you would like to claim that there's no difference between the two, then you (and your hypothetical court) should have no problem with a user supplying copies of all their fingerprints when asked to unlock their phone.

That's obviously not what's being asked for, hence other people's distinctions.

Dependency resolution is implicit to the design -- the entire global namespace is available on every system so any dependencies are resolved as they are requested.

That is, if you have an executable such as "ls" that relies upon the dynamic linker provided by "glibc", then the glibc requested will be fetched automatically because you attempted to open the dynamic linker.

Additionally, the design is superior to the single-user nature of a remote disk image in that each user's writes are redirected to their own home directory (by default, you can change this in a config file).

Even further, it allows for setuid files to be handled safely which is sometimes needed (e.g., "sudo" or "chrome-sandbox").

Caching is handled by the kernel for the VFS cache but also by a more persistent disk cache so that you can use applications offline as long as you have cached them (by running them, usually) ahead of time.
Sounds like the best way to justify hate for both the US and Apple. Pretty far fetched though.
Yep, that's the beauty of it. The choice is yours, so choose wisely. If you're not satisfied, wait until the next election and choose someone else.

This is why technology companies have to go farther than implementing proprietary security systems: They have to put the capability to circumvent security out of reach of themselves.

Real data security has to be a mix of services that are friendly to reliable key exchange and strong unbreakable encryption, and verifiably secure endpoint software, which in practice means open source software where the user can control installation, that implements encryption.

Given the way a lot of people (and the media) tend to go completely bonkers when somebody says "terrorist", this is commendable.

It remains to be seen, though, what Apple will actually do, in legal terms. Will they flat-out refuse to cooperate, even if this means that they will be fined or Mr. Cook will be imprisoned for contempt or something like that? Will they actually send their lawyers to challenge the court decision? That would be very interesting to watch, and if they succeeded, it would create a precedent for a lot of other companies. But so would their failure.
