Apple should create the version of iOS that the government is asking for that is specific to the phone in question. That keeps them out of trouble.

At the same time, and prior to turning over the signed image to the FBI, they should also create a version of iOS that doesn't accept updates if the phone is locked.

They should then very quietly push the secure version of iOS out to all iPhones. From that moment forward, they will be unable to comply with any further court orders.

Problem solved.

The only reason that websites know that the ads aren't reaching the intended target is because they're using javascript to test to see if the ad makes it into the page. The solution is to stop checking. As long as you're making a good faith effort to display the ads, it's not your job to be sure that they made it to the target. If I'm the publisher of a print magazine and I put ads in the magazine, I bill the vendors for the ad space. I have no way of knowing whether the reader actually reads the ad and it's not my job to know. The same principle applies to websites. Bill the vendors for the ads you attempted to insert and you're not losing money.

You can configure Zonealarm to alert you when programs attempt to send traffic out. When Windows 10 tries to phone home, disallow it from doing so. Problem solved.

Disable the Internet connection on the TV. Problem solved.

The law only governs the manufacture of phones. It provides no guidance or penalty for possession of an 'unapproved' phone. If Bush were still in office, I would expect to see a division of the Department of Homeland Security created to monitor cell phone pictures, but...

Besides, if a bill is passed that says all cars manufactured after 2010 have to get at least 100 mpg, that doesn't mean that every other car has to leave the road. Eventually all of the older cars will stop working and only the high mileage cars will be left. Similarly, when all of the 'predatory' phones meet their demise, only the 'safe' phones will be left.

The real question is, why the hell is Congress wasting time with this tripe? Is this supposed to fix the economy?
