BlackBerry on O'Reilly Factor.
- I think you've gotten that message a bit wrong. What the pundits were saying was, "This phone doesn't live up to its promises of privacy and security."02-19-16 10:49 PMLike 2
- Many pundits wrote off Blackberry's PRIV at launch saying " the masses don't care about privacy or security ". Seems like this is a bigger debate than everyone thought....
Blackberry has a window here to shine but I'm sure they won't have the marketing prowess to get the message out.

If we had a repeat of 9-11 happen, and part of what brings the terrorists to justice was held in the voice and data information found via communication captured by smartphone, should the phone manufacturer (in this case apple or blackberry) give access to said communication?
Before you answer, ask yourself, what if my family member or friend was in that terrorist attack as a victim, does your opinion change?

- I don't think this media coverage is good for Apple at all. If they assist the government in cracking the phone (if it is even possible), half of the population will say Apple sold out. If they don't help, half of the population will suggest that Apple is protecting the terrorists.
It is a lose-lose situation.
Posted via CB1002-20-16 09:58 AMLike 0 - Overlooked in this is that Apple had a "no public discussion" agreement with the DOJ. [Not a legal order but an agreement to keep the investigation details confidential.]
The DOJ went "public" to put pressure on Apple to help break the encryption.
So, I hold Apple blameless in this. They knew that the revelation of this dilemma would only hurt them as stated above.
Posted via CB1002-20-16 10:11 AMLike 0 - I agree. If only the Priv was launched with the options to run on either Android or BB10 OS. Otherwise, it doesn't live up to the name Priv and the whole idea of Privacy being protected and guarded, because it essentially running Google's Android means it really isn't that private after all.

This is definitely an interesting turn of events.02-20-16 10:32 AMLike 0 - I think what everyone has overlooked was Blackberry has always eluded to iPhone's huge lack of security and here we have the mighty US Government incapable of breaking into that very device. I think Apple is playing this one very smart and is getting tons of free marketing in holding back. Would anyone doubt Apple's security after this ?
This renders one of Blackberry's main buying criteria completely null and void.
I still think Blackberry is superior as it embraces all aspects of enterprise security in a unified approach, using the secure device as only one possible access point.
Curiously, many experts are saying by disassembling the device and installing the components into a "breadboard" or another like device, the data can be accessed easily. It seems to some that the FBI wants to use this situation as a lever on Apple to create a special ongoing access program exclusively for law enforcement use in order to make the process less complicated.02-29-16 08:48 PMLike 0 -

How the FBI could use acid and lasers to access data stored on seized iPhone | Ars Technica03-01-16 07:30 AMLike 0 - Question for all of you.

My understanding is that in the US the Constitution has many hooks on which manufacturers can support resistance to opening up their equipment to government authorities. This is a historical artefact of the writers of the Constitution, and the succeeding Supreme Court support, having a distrust of government power over the rights of citizens.
{Personally, I believe that alleged murderers should undergo focused investigation by whatever legal means available. In my opinion, this includes considered judicial suspension of privacy rights. Evidence outside of the bounds of the focused investigation would be sealed or inadmissible for other crimes discovered. The idea being that a murder investigation could devolve into a fishing investigation. As I am not a lawyer, this may be the most stupid legal position ever expressed, lol.}03-01-16 08:19 AMLike 0 -
Apple, though they've had a few well-publicized stumbles, has mostly had 8 years of positive news, growth, and profits. Those are the facts, and you can't be mad at those who report those facts, or correct people who dispute them. Me? I'm not a fan of Apple's product line at all, and have never bought an Apple product, but I have no problem accepting the reality of their success.
The truth is that, as hard as it may be for a few hardcore fans to accept, BB's long fall isn't Apple's fault, and it isn't Google or Samsung's fault - it's Mike Lazaridis's fault. To use a phrase from the Brits, Mike "lost the plot" and started living in his own fantasy land, after creating a corporate culture where he was never to be questioned. By the time it was finally apparent to even himself that BB was hopelessly behind, it was far too late, and that same BB culture was too poisoned and out-of-touch to have any hope of catching up. And this in a business where timing is absolutely critical, BB was 4-5 years behind the curve, missing all of the primary growth years of the industry.
You can be a fan of the company without being in denial of history and without blaming competitors for your favored company's poor performance. You just have to use your brain and engage your logic instead of running on pure emotion.03-01-16 10:12 AMLike 7 -
When I first started visiting CrackBerry in 2007.... There were a number of "smart" people discussing why BlackBerry needed a new OS. To this day I can't belive that wasn't something they were already working on in 2007. That they waited till 2010 to buy QNX so they could get started on a new OS... and that it then took them three years to release it and another year to get it out of beta.
Looking back.... in 2010, Palm for $1.2 Billion would have been a very cheap (compared to BB10 development cost) and smart acquisition for BlackBerry.StoicEngineer likes this.03-01-16 10:37 AMLike 1 -

All they trying to do is show the world that they can do it to. Nothing wrong with that, until it's hacked. This is where being a US company hurts them unlike BlackBerry or Samsung. Apple maybe just have to hand over the keys to the kingdom. Chen may be waiting to see how this plays out before chiming in. But for BlackBerry they have nothing to prove here. Apple and all the rest are the ones.
I'm waiting to see if the US government take up John McAfee on his offer to hack the phone.

I really don't think that the FBI's going to let him. He could purposely erase everything. But you never know. I hope he could do it while showing the world the BlackBerry he uses at the same time. BB FTW!

That would be a hilarious solution of the dilemma, albeit someone might get charged with obstruction of police... or something?
Laws are different down here....
