Well, both. It's today which makes it the latest and it's part of one of the greatest equations.

i = e^(i*pi/2)

Looks the the FBI may have a way to break into the iphone after all!

http://wtop.com/politics/2016/03/fbi...tacker-iphone/

So should the FBI tell apple how to do it? Should apple file a foia request to find out how? Is the shoe one the other foot?

Mwa ha ha ha ha!

The US Supreme Court has previously ruled that it is legal for cops to lie to you for whatever purposes, like getting you to tell them something they want by telling you they already know it. So take this revelation with a grain of salt.

Also, they may have used the $5 wrench method on an Apple employee. 15 years ago, I'd said "no way, man" or something else (Audio NSFW). Now, of course I can't.

"The company hopes the government will tell Apple about whatever method it uses to access the phone’s encrypted files."

For sure, given the good collaboration of Apple in the past.

Sorry to be late, but it's even more interesting (and perhaps beautiful) to state this:

e^(j*pi) + 1 = 0

In this format of Euler's equation, you relate the 5 most special numbers in one equation: e (the natural log base), pi (the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference), j (the EE's way of writing the square root of -1), 1 (the multiplicative identity), and 0 (the additive identity).

Gorgeous, huh?

It never was a question about hacking this Farook guy's phone to get some info out of it; it is a well known fact that iphones can be corked when you can get the device in your hands and have some time to do it (few days to brute-force it)

It is not of concequence if that alleged phone really even exists, it is just used as a pretext to change legislation and force Apple to implement a backdoor to enable the spooks to have a fast method to uncork iphones; to enable them to do it so quick (or even by remote access) so that the owner never notices that he's been had...

That's typical terrorist tactics BTW; you get your way by scaring the hell out of your target audience.

I dont understand why Apple don't agree to the FBIs requests on a case by case basis and all requests be made open.
