I heard this the other day and it was just BLOWN away.
A fella was talking in a room with a potato chip bag.
The conversation was then played back...just by the video recording of the bag!!
An absolute amazing must see TedTalk.

Its amazing to me that Apple is making a big case about it. They claim that they will have to write an operating system just for the purpose of getting around the security.
When in reality...they would only need to modify the existing OS to just bypass the security.
...in this case they would actually just be taking code out.
Or simply just have the "password checker" class functio

"...a mass of a billion billion tons..."
i.e. a trillion tons.
Amazing theory.
If they think the mantle shifted, based on surface features, around the core...whats to say that the mantle and the core both shifted in unison?

I can see the reasoning behind not supplying the phone hacking software.
Good for Apple...were all safe.
But haveing worked in IT for 30 years networking and writing software...I wonder.
