The Government, Apple, and Modern Technology

Well it's official. The FBI has now dropped it's case against Apple about de-crypting the Iphones of the San Bernadino shooters. Last week the FBI moved for a delay in the proceedings after hiring an Israeli Tech company (owned by a Japanese corporation) to try to access the iphone's data.
Apparently the Feds actually hired some competent people for a change because today they announced that they no longer needed any help from Apple as the subject phone(s) had been cracked.

George Orwell would be amazed..
