&gt; People in Cupertino probably think that&#x27;s basically your mission :D (I don&#x27;t, though).<p>Good, because anyone who thinks that even casually is either completely uninformed or an idiot :&#x2F;. (I vaguely apologize for the bluntness, but this is an insinuated attack even with the statement that you don&#x27;t believe it, at which point one would question why you brought it up in the first place.)<p>&gt; Why are they the only one to be held so strongly accountable for building this king of security while Google Android phone can be snooped upon in an extremely easy way?<p>You clearly have never been to one of my talks; I outright told an entire audience of people at DragonCon, most of whom used Android devices, that they should not use an Android device if they even remotely cared about security, and sat there and took it as they boo&#x27;d me: I am extremely vocal about the flaws in Android devices.<p>Only today, we are talking about Apple. And today, Apple is being disingenuous: they are making it sound like it would be some herculean effort to build some massive crowbar to defeat their otherwise impenetrable device, when in fact what the FBI wants can be accomplished by Apple in a matter of hours, and that the underlying security of this device comes down to something Apple would rather people believe is a good thing--that they have more access to the hardware you own than you do--than ever even momentarily consider to be a flaw.
