Apple, basically: “If it pleases the court, tell FBI to go fuck themselves"

As I said, their interests temporarily align with our own, nothing more.

Same as when companies banded together with users when SOPA first hit. They saw their bottom line endangered due to the thing they make their money off of being threatened. Same thing here. This would basically destroy trust in apple’s product if there exists a firmware that can be loaded in that 'oh hey all that super awesome security? GONE oh don’t worry only the DAMNIT MIKE I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TO MAKE ANY COPIES! What?! You mean it’s out in the wild now?! F$&$&$$ $&%&$*%) *#$%$!

Same as with Google. They are in the same boat and should be looked at as only occasionally having our needs in mind. This isn’t evil so much as organisms (corporations) developing survival stratagies that involve ‘don’t spew toxic waste where your food is.’

My only real question is what do we do with the information we are given so we are less gawkers on the sideline and more active participants.
