American? THink again about buying the Iphone 6
I am proud/happy to be FROM America but even more glad to NOT be living there anymore
Report
FBI Chief: Your iPhone 6 Is a Threat
The FBI has long had the ability to tap into the nation's telephone exchanges. James Comey wants it to be able to access computer servers as well.
FBI Director James Comey is calling for a change in the law that would give the government even greater access to private information like emails and smartphone photos, a controversial proposal certain to add new fuel to the simmering debate over privacy rights in the digital age.
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2 ... s16%2F10RSBut the law has never clearly applied to all technology and Internet companies -- particularly giants such as Apple and Google. Now Comey wants to change that and require the firms to put in place similar equipment that would ensure that the government can always obtain a criminal suspect's emails, text messages, photographs, and other information that is increasingly stored on smartphones.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

On the W Coast you have to wait in line with 100 Chinese ahead of you. They buy 2, head off to the next store, buy 2, next store buy 2, etc etc etc, and smuggle them back to Shanghai or wherever for big profits.

No shit. The PRC isn't allowing iPhone 6 sales yet though.
