Just because your messages are accessible on a new device, it does not necessarily mean that your messages are readable or key is accessible by Apple. For instance, if the decryption key for iMessage were encrypted with your Apple ID password, then your key could be transferred around between devices, but Apple or the DEA would still have to brute-force/social engineer/whatever to get your password and decrypt the key.

Yes it is. And to be fair, it's a lot more accurate than Nostradamus ever was.

As a freshman physics major at a major research university (of Our Lady), I can reliably say that my peers and I find the best instructors are those who give traditional "chalk talks."

As a general rule, professors who use Powerpoints just read off them, while professors who write on the board actually have something to say. Also, WebAssign sucks majorly. Nightly rants about WebAssign and online homework can be heard throughout the dorms.

You know this is classified as a *joke*, right?
