I have recently done two blog articles on the Apple vs FBI case. The case is based on the FBI asking Apple for access into civilians Iphones. Apple denied their request. The FBI decided to bring Apple to court. Recently the Department of Justice postponed the court date due to a possible new solution. A man approached the Department of Justice and proposed a solution to get into Apple products without Apples help. This solution can break  thousands of passwords in order to get into an Iphone. There has not been much information about who gave the solution or how he's going to do it because as of now it's classified. That's the update on the case. Click Here for Article and Video

     There is now a new bicycle called Bolt. Bolt is an electric bicycle that can top out at 20mph. The bicycle does not require a license and it's as effective as a motor cycle. The bike also does not require insurance. You have the option to pedal or cruse on the electrical bike. The bike cost  $5,500 and requires no gasoline. I think the bike is very cool however, I would not buy it because it seems very dangerous in the state of NJ. Click here for more information and a video..

     Two tech articles ago I commented on the Apple vs FBI case. I disagreed with Apples decisions on not allowing the FBI to get into criminals Iphones especially in the San Bernadion. Well, recently Bill Gates the founder of Microsoft also disagreed with Apples decision's. Even though Google, Twitter, and Facebook backed up Apple. Bill Gates still disagrees. He doesn't think the government should have full control of entering Apple products. But, he does think that in situations such as the San Bernadion case the FBI should be able to log into there products. Click Here!

     There has been recent controversy between the FBI and Apple. The FBI wants access to the San Bernadinos Iphones which are locked. However, this will lead to the government having access to everyones Iphones. Apple denies this because this possible out come will automatically anger most Iphone users. Iphone users want their privacy from our government. Apple declined the request to allow the FBI to sign into any IPhone because they do not want to lose their support from their fans. However, the government will likley not go down without a strong fight.

    I think that Apple should give the government access to the Apple products because they are trying to help secure our homeland. If Apple agrees to this they will certaintly lose many fans. However, the homeland security is far more important than a losinga few users. Click here to learn more.
