Apple And The FBI

By Trev March 6, 2016 6 Comments 1 min read

I have been watching this story unfold across the world. Apple and the FBI. If you haven’t heard about it, the FBI want Apple to give them access to their phones through some sort of software. Apple, so far, have steadfastly refused. The FBI say they want to access the phones of criminals and terrorists. Now there’s a big ho-ha going on with the FBI saying one thing and Apple saying no, nicht, nine, nonk!

The way I see it, I bet somewhere in the world is a 13 year old schoolboy, sitting in his bedroom and while all his friends are out playing ball games, he’s going through an old Apple phone and working out how to get into the software and do what the FBI are unable to do. There’s always one, usually in Russia. It makes me laugh how these young guys will always break through whatever man made virtual fences are put before them.

On a personal note, it doesn’t bother me if Apple do go ahead and give the FBI the necessary software to unlock the phones. I have nothing to hide, but at the same time I fully respect and understand all those that are against it. Who knows how it will unfold. An Apple a day keeps the FBI away!

Here’s one story about it on the BBC.

I suppose sometimes I am silly and I'm definitely getting old so the name suits me. I hope you enjoy your visit and if it made you laugh then I have achieved my mission.

If one has nothing to hide then it shouldn’t be a problem, besides if it’s for the greater good of society especially in these times that are fraught with issues, why not?

Governments should make their activities transparent as a goodwill gesture to encourage the rest of us …

  I agree, Dave, but I can’t ever see that happening. They usually have more to hide than anybody.

A Room Full Of Books
Being in a room full of books is like being in a room with all of your friends. Each one is a conversation, full of memories or imaginations, telling stories to keep us enthralled. Other books are full of knowledge, how to bake a cake or make a cupboard. Some are colourful with pictures and […]
Spending The Day With An Old Friend
There’s nothing wrong with spending the day at the graveside of an old friend or loved one. If we’re lucky they may even turn up in the flesh, so to speak. I chat with a lot of people who are no longer with us. Old friends, family and neighbours. You don’t have to visit their […]
