Proposed Encryption Bill Would Force Tech Companies To Hand Over Data

Apple may have gotten away with not helping the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) unlock a certain iPhone 5c unit owned by a terrorist involved in last December’s attack in San Bernardino in California.

So, Was The Data Retrieved By The FBI From The Hacked iPhone Useful?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has publicly declared that right after retrieving data from a particular iPhone 5c owned by terrorist Syed Farook who is being investigated in connection with the San Bernardino attacks that happened in December of last year, it is now putting it to use, as reported by the New York Times.

Apple’s VoiceOver: Continuing To Empower Blind Mobile Users

Before, people who had trouble seeing properly had to spend considerable amounts of money in order to acquire technology that magnified the screens on their computers, provided spoken directions for navigational purposes, identified their paper bills, and detected the shade of their clothing.

Apple: FBI Request Is Unconstitutional

In response to a filing by the United States Department of Justice last week, Apple is arguing that the All Writs Act can not be applied to its case against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
