[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 534972, member: 18251"] "The FBI came to Apple because the FBI can't unravel the iPhones encryption without Apple's help". Can't they? Or is this just a part of Apple's marketing strategy ("we want to amaze our customers with how much we're concerned with their privacy"? Whatever it is, I cannot but feel that there is too much talk about "privacy", "encryption", "security"...lately. And, as the time passes by, it tends to grow at geometric progression rate. Now, different people may find different reasons to either justify it or to question the trend, but I am sure about one thing: generally, huge systems (corporations, governments etc.) are benefiting on it (on the trend) because, as the users of Internet, the owners of cellular phones etc. are getting CONVINCED that their privacy has been threatened (whereas, in "real life" it is more a kind of hysteria and an auto-suggestion) it is easier for them (corporations, governments) to "tighten" the rules and laws and to ACTUALLY control the people... The last time I was really unpleasantly surprised with these "privacy" hype was when I found about an initiative to implement an ''native'' encryption into the file formats of upcoming camera models, so that these "new", encrypted JPG and RAW would become a new "standard". The only thing that I can say is "oh, cmmon people, stop isolating yourself from others and vice versa, stop fearing your own shadows and seeing a bomb in every dog shit that you see out there on a pavement, and start LIVING, at last (while you're still LASTING)...:cheerful:[LEFT][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
