#4You can almost hear the Guardian's business leader writers rubbing their hands at the prospect. Which is as shameful and shortsighted as it is atypical for the Guardian. I would guess the team behind this article are acutely aware of the rate their owners are burning through cash and are anticipating massive layoffs soon. Perhaps they're looking for a lifeboat with the Apple-despising Financial Times?

Maybe no one wrote it. The Graun's stock in trade hit piece editorial is so thoroughly predictable by now they probably have a perl script to churn them out.

#6This is a battle humans/technologists have been facing since the advent of paper and pencil.
Just for fun, the old Apple advertisement.

Their editorials are never signed. They represent the position of the newspaper in general.

#8Well I can't expect HN to agree with this article, but let's face it, technologies pose new political questions.
I think the argument about the iPhone backdoor software is a slippery slope one. As long as the judicial system use mandates and the process is transparent, I think you can't really complain. This is what Snowden is about.
We're talking about homeland defense here, the Islamic State is on the rise, so I would be careful when defending Apple here.
Now I'm not a lawyer nor a political scientist, but I want to side with the FBI on this one. I'm sure Apple is playing their popularity card here. There are things that are more important and go beyond gadgets built in the silicon valley. It doesn't necessarily have something to do with Snowden.
I expect people to disagree with me here, and it's fine.

I couldn't even bother to finish the article, so I scrolled to the bottom for the conclusion about... G20 and banking? What?
