When we had the NSA spying issue, Apple stood up and whined that we needed to make sure that the FBI and such went to a judge and got a court order. Ok The FBI DID go to a judge and the Judge agreed with the FBI after reading everything they presented and issued a court order for Apple to give the FBI the information on just that one phone. SO the FBI did exactly what Apple was whining about and demanding they be forced to do.
Did Apple do what the Judge told them they had to do? Did Apple follow the court's order? Nope. NOW they are whining about having to do what they wanted the FBI and NSA to be required to do in the first place? NOPE! Its called being hypocrites!
At last count well over 50% of the public is telling Apple to grow a set and man up and unlock this one phone. only 30% are saying dont do it. The NY Stock Exchange is showing Apple's stock is falling. And unless they can convince the Judge otherwise, on March 22nd 2016 Apple can be found in direct violation of federal law and not only be fined up to $1,000,000.00 a day till they comply, but the CEO of Apple can be personally charged and arrested and fined until he complies. And no matter how much money Apple thinks they have, you cannot survive a one million dollar a day fine for very long. And I dont care how educated or powerful you think you are, if you cost a company millions of dollars and did it because of some ego trip you are on like the CEO of Apple is doing today; you WONT be CEO for much longer.
Apple is being a dick. They FBI has a legal court order requiring Apple to break this one phone and give them the data from it. I mean my God how hard would it be to take the phone and get the info off of it and then return the phone and the info and be done with it.
But nooooo Apple wants to be a dick. Ok then when the Federal Judge holds the CEO of Apple in contempt and fines apple 1 million dollars a day until they comply, then what are they going to do?
THEY were the ones demanding that the Feds get a court order to get this info, so they did. And now Apple is refusing to comply even WITH a valid court order.
Apple is going to learn March 22nd what the judge is going to decide and I can assure you that Apple is NOT going to like the end result.
