It takes courage to remove and industry standard port just to replace it with a proprietary one.

What are the challenges in bringing a lower power display (e-ink or otherwise) to market?

Do you want uniformity or individually tailored sentences for criminals? You can't have both.

I have had an Iphone since the 3G model, but if they remove the headphone jack I will consider an Android.

Of course the issue is safety.

To fly your yourself and your friends around, you need a visual flight rules private pilot's license that may only involve 40 hours of flight time.

To fly for compensation, you need a commercial license that requires A LOT more training.

In this type of analysis, the person being charged is the "1st" party and the police is the "2nd" party. Anyone else is a "3rd" party.

Is this "confirmed"? Who wants this? I really don't want to add headphones to the list of things I need to plug in.

The metadata may be somewhat revealing, but not as much as the metadata AND the content of those communications.

When you make it just as difficult to get only the metadata, people will stop making a distinction and always get the more invasive option.

Yes, the proceeds of the robbery was only food, but this guy seem dangerous enough to use this technology under court order.

The Panama Papers are part of US plot to weaken FIFA

I just walked into the comcast customer service store, handed them the equipment and service was canceled in about 2 minutes. Total time was about 10 minutes in the store. What is so hard about that?

The same reason we pay attorneys to do low level doc review instead of paralegals. You can't get malpractice insurance on the paralegals.

While chips have been standard in Europe for some time, I'm starting to see more and more US businesses starting to use the chip in cards over the past 6 months, especially drug stores.

It is interesting though that many people do not have a PIN associated with these chip cards in the US, so it is still "authenticated" with a signature.

if it is a 4 digit passcode, I just don't understand why we can't clone the phone and try all 10,000 in moments?

How does having a separate "encryption chip" prevent cloning what is stored on the drives and chips?

I just love the idea that we are going to create a whole new "War on encryption" that might be even less winnable than the War on Drugs.

Instead of people running guns from less restrictive jurisdictions, we will now all be criminals importing phones because we want to buy phones win normal industry standard encryption.
