00:02:12 ◼   ► expected like when I woke [TS]

00:02:13 ◼   ► wednesday morning i thought well i gotta write and i have to write like a big [TS]

00:02:16 ◼   ► piece about this and as I started like reading everything that was out there I [TS]

00:02:31 ◼   ► of my time in a better a service to the readers of daring fireball because i [TS]

00:02:35 ◼   ► found so many good articles that other people had written that we're making a [TS]

00:02:39 ◼   ► point I wanted to make that rather than remake them myself why not just point [TS]

00:02:44 ◼   ► them to them and then add my two cents on this better one of the points I [TS]

00:02:48 ◼   ► didn't make it and i really think it's important for people who listen to our [TS]

00:02:52 ◼   ► shows or read our websites because I think overwhelmingly the people who like [TS]

00:02:55 ◼   ► reading fireball or the loop and listen to the talk show are already on our side [TS]

00:02:59 ◼   ► and that they and that they have a basic enough grasp of the way encryption works [TS]

00:03:04 ◼   ► that they see apples . but I really can't emphasize enough how many you know [TS]

00:03:11 ◼   ► how I don't wear an echo chamber here with the people who agree with this and [TS]

00:03:16 ◼   ► if you get outside and go to the real world where people don't understand [TS]

00:03:18 ◼   ► encryption the support for apple is not is as clear cut or blanket you know and [TS]

00:03:25 ◼   ► it's dangerous for a politically that they really are going out on the land [TS]

00:03:29 ◼   ► yeah they really are and it's it's it's it's not funny i guess but it's when you [TS]

00:03:40 ◼   ► look at at the case that the the FBI chose to use this on i mean they were [TS]

00:03:45 ◼   ► very deliberated they they wanted something that would fire up the public [TS]

00:03:49 ◼   ► so much against apple and in some ways that's worked you know people are saying [TS]

00:03:58 ◼   ► in some circles people are saying that Apple should comply because these were [TS]

00:04:04 ◼   ► bad people and we need to stop at people but there's bigger issues than that it's [TS]

00:04:09 ◼   ► not just this one issue [TS]

00:04:11 ◼   ► yeah it's not so much maybe maybe fired up against apple is the wrong way to put [TS]

00:04:16 ◼   ► it not equivalent with your words but it's a little bit more that that people [TS]

00:04:19 ◼   ► would universally side with the FBI and similar the FBI has got to be able to to [TS]

00:04:24 ◼   ► get at these peoples phones [TS]

00:04:26 ◼   ► and it really is a just perfectly crafted case from the FBI's perspective [TS]

00:04:32 ◼   ► because it was a terrible insult everybody agrees with that I mean the [TS]

00:04:35 ◼   ► Apple goes out of its way to say this is a terrible incident and you know we'll [TS]

00:04:39 ◼   ► do anything we can that we think is within the law and within our the [TS]

00:04:45 ◼   ► interest of maintaining overall security for our users to help but let's just [TS]

00:04:49 ◼   ► face it i mean the fact that these were people from a Muslim background it it [TS]

00:04:56 ◼   ► makes it even worse there's there's an element to enter let you know as opposed [TS]

00:05:00 ◼   ► to if it was the guy remember it was just like a week or two prior to that if [TS]

00:05:04 ◼   ► it was the guy from Colorado who shot up [TS]

00:05:07 ◼   ► Planned Parenthood it that wouldn't do it at the way that having it be suspects [TS]

00:05:15 ◼   ► of a Muslim descent just because that's its that's the way it is that human [TS]

00:05:19 ◼   ► nature [TS]

00:05:20 ◼   ► yeah you know and it's in that in it that's what their banking them right [TS]

00:05:24 ◼   ► that it's just it's that the politics of that and the the emotional dynamic of [TS]

00:05:31 ◼   ► that or just overwhelmingly you know powerful and I don't know that it is I [TS]

00:05:36 ◼   ► think an apple is saying maybe not [TS]

00:05:38 ◼   ► well and and I i think if you look at Tim Cook's letter I it's very compelling [TS]

00:05:47 ◼   ► i think it was well thought out very well written and Ed brings up some [TS]

00:05:53 ◼   ► really great . so I mean that was that was written [TS]

00:05:58 ◼   ► I mean you could see Tim saying that yeah you know and i think by now we we [TS]

00:06:05 ◼   ► all can believe what what tim says he stands on on principle and he does what [TS]

00:06:13 ◼   ► he says he's going to do now [TS]

00:06:16 ◼   ► mattapan torino had a good article pointing out the differences you know [TS]

00:06:21 ◼   ► that there's one of the cynical takes on this is and it's definitely not just [TS]

00:06:29 ◼   ► from one source in Matthew pantry no story had a couple of links to it but [TS]

00:06:32 ◼   ► going to paraphrase it but that [TS]

00:06:35 ◼   ► more or less claiming that Apple's showboating and trying to gain publicity [TS]

00:06:40 ◼   ► for being you know having these super secure phones and you know getting [TS]

00:06:46 ◼   ► people to say wow iphone is so powerful the FBI can't even crack it and using [TS]

00:06:51 ◼   ► that as a positive thing and in the past apple has helped the FBI 70 times to do [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► the same thing and you know if you want to be cynical like that and say that [TS]

00:07:04 ◼   ► Apple is trying to make this a thing that brag about the iphone security [TS]

00:07:07 ◼   ► you're welcome to but i really i really think that that's that I don't think [TS]

00:07:12 ◼   ► that's the case I think it's so risky because now you've got like presidential [TS]

00:07:15 ◼   ► candidates like down you know doctors ridiculous it's ridiculous that I'm [TS]

00:07:19 ◼   ► talking about it seriously but he is the lead the leading Republican presidential [TS]

00:07:24 ◼   ► candidate is saying flat-out Apple Apple should absolutely who do they think they [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► are where his actual words who do they think they are heat being that they [TS]

00:07:31 ◼   ► absolutely should comply with this court case that it's become part of our you [TS]

00:07:35 ◼   ► know political debate and to say that this is a sure win hope you know PR y is [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► for Apple is to me [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► I think you're looking for the central angle but the bigger difference is that [TS]

00:07:46 ◼   ► what Apple has done in the past when they help law enforcement is very [TS]

00:07:49 ◼   ► different it and I know saying very might you might say seems to know just [TS]

00:07:54 ◼   ► like one little step it's different it's you know in the past they have helped [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► them you know without modifying the software help them use this offer as is [TS]

00:08:02 ◼   ► to get data off the phone right and in times past in years past a lot less of [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► the information on the phones was encrypted [TS]

00:08:10 ◼   ► it's really only in recent years that the entire disk of the you know storage [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► volume of the iphone is is full disk encryption let me ask you something why [TS]

00:08:23 ◼   ► do you think the other tech companies heaven take us taking a stronger stand [TS]

00:08:29 ◼   ► ah well I think it's multifaceted but i think one of them is that and I think [TS]

00:08:39 ◼   ► his pants are a no again had though was it the why Apple peace and more or less [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► i wasn't pantry know it was a curing Healey who i'd like to that's right i'm [TS]

00:08:50 ◼   ► trying to put that in charlotte show notes but but can he lead his argument [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► was to pay again to paraphrase apples the only company that still makes [TS]

00:08:58 ◼   ► hardware that really is a hardware company and because of that you know [TS]

00:09:02 ◼   ► none of these other companies you know Google yes google makes nexus devices [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► and yes Microsoft makes the nokia phones which have look I mean literally no [TS]

00:09:11 ◼   ► exaggeration like you know 1.1 percent market share [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► it's not as important to them or as Apple's fundamental business is selling [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► Hardware to people and that there's a trust issue there that put apple in a [TS]

00:09:26 ◼   ► position that no other company really is where this is a big deal [TS]

00:09:30 ◼   ► secondarily i think that there are other and again this is starting to be a [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► little cynical but i think that you know a new york times even mentioned this in [TS]

00:09:39 ◼   ► articles but that apple doesn't depend on government sales to a large degree [TS]

00:09:43 ◼   ► whereas microsoft just signed for example a huge deal to get the entire [TS]

00:09:47 ◼   ► department of defense to upgrade all of their pcs to windows 10 and that they [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► don't want to anger them i'm not quite sure why Google doesn't take a stronger [TS]

00:09:59 ◼   ► stance but they clearly don't [TS]

00:10:02 ◼   ► yeah what do you think well I was talking to to Peter Cohen last night and [TS]

00:10:08 ◼   ► Peter said maybe they don't want everybody to know that they've already [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► cooperated with the government which is you know really cynical stand but i [TS]

00:10:24 ◼   ► don't know i mean obviously they don't want this the FBI sites turned on them [TS]

00:10:29 ◼   ► right now they're just trying to keep their their head down that's that's an [TS]

00:10:34 ◼   ► obvious . but you know is there something else in there right [TS]

00:10:40 ◼   ► did I mean if they take a big standards the government gonna come back and [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► they were what are you talking about you know you were already given us lots of [TS]

00:10:47 ◼   ► info right that in some way however to whatever degree they've already [TS]

00:10:51 ◼   ► cooperated with the government past is something the government can hold [TS]

00:10:53 ◼   ► against them [TS]

00:10:54 ◼   ► party city was yeah that might be a good argument there and I'll just emphasize [TS]

00:10:58 ◼   ► it one of the things that's you know I think overlooked in this if you just [TS]

00:11:02 ◼   ► look at it in broad terms that while apple won't cooperate with the FBI on [TS]

00:11:05 ◼   ► this san bernardino case they have already like the in just for example [TS]

00:11:10 ◼   ► that the suspect in this case apparently was using iCloud backup until a certain [TS]

00:11:16 ◼   ► point and I actually think this is one of the things that I've been looking [TS]

00:11:21 ◼   ► around I don't know that we on the outside have a very good understanding [TS]

00:11:24 ◼   ► of just how available [TS]

00:11:27 ◼   ► what what is the encryption on the stuff that's backed up from my cloud like when [TS]

00:11:34 ◼   ► they come but anyway the Apple did come comply with the FBI and supplied them [TS]

00:11:38 ◼   ► with access to some some ask some subset of their whatever is the unencrypted [TS]

00:11:43 ◼   ► part of the iCloud backup from this San Bernardino shooter the reason the FBI [TS]

00:11:48 ◼   ► wants the phone is that there was like six weeks after the last backup to [TS]

00:11:52 ◼   ► iCloud you know between that last backup in the incident and they're they're [TS]

00:11:59 ◼   ► concerned it's it seems like a reasonable concern that maybe there's [TS]

00:12:02 ◼   ► some you know actionable intelligence in that in turn but it's not like Apple [TS]

00:12:07 ◼   ► hasn't done what they can they're just saying here's a line we're not going to [TS]

00:12:10 ◼   ► draw are we are going to draw it is there i want to read this one bit from [TS]

00:12:14 ◼   ► Tim Cook's or letter there's a whole thing is really good but i really like [TS]

00:12:17 ◼   ► this part on the government is asking Apple to hack our own users and [TS]

00:12:22 ◼   ► undermine decades of security advancements that protect our customers [TS]

00:12:25 ◼   ► including tens of millions of American citizens from sophisticated hackers and [TS]

00:12:29 ◼   ► cyber criminals and here's the to meet the really compelling part of this the [TS]

00:12:33 ◼   ► same engineers who built strong encryption into the iphone to protect [TS]

00:12:38 ◼   ► our users would ironically be ordered to weaken those protections and make our [TS]

00:12:42 ◼   ► users less safe [TS]

00:12:44 ◼   ► and I to me that is really compelling I you know if you're that an engineer at [TS]

00:12:49 ◼   ► apple who works on this security stuff you're more or less your career is [TS]

00:12:53 ◼   ► devoted to only in one direction making things more secure for users and then to [TS]

00:13:00 ◼   ► be compelled to do the exact opposite is I honestly I think it's something that [TS]

00:13:06 ◼   ► some people would object to do that some people would stab you know you can court [TS]

00:13:10 ◼   ► order me to do it but I'm not going to do it and would they be right in some [TS]

00:13:14 ◼   ► sense i mean maybe not like I'm not a lawyer i can't i can't legally that they [TS]

00:13:18 ◼   ► could object but certainly morally great i mean i-i I don't know where this goes [TS]

00:13:27 ◼   ► what if Apple is compelled to do this [TS]

00:13:34 ◼   ► what do they do well I I mean we know what's going to the supreme court either [TS]

00:13:40 ◼   ► way I guess I I honestly don't know how stuff works you know its way through the [TS]

00:13:48 ◼   ► supreme court though in a case where the where the FBI might be saying you know [TS]

00:13:53 ◼   ► time is of the essence you know we want to get this information while it's still [TS]

00:13:57 ◼   ► warm [TS]

00:13:58 ◼   ► you know there's no point to getting it they're not building a case one thing to [TS]

00:14:01 ◼   ► note just in case anybody has forgotten the details of it they're not using this [TS]

00:14:05 ◼   ► to build a criminal case against the San Bernardino shooters because because [TS]

00:14:09 ◼   ► they're dead right so it's really just trying to find actionable intelligence [TS]

00:14:14 ◼   ► that might lead them to discover if they had if there was anybody else involved [TS]

00:14:19 ◼   ► if there's anybody else they know who you know they ought to be looking at who [TS]

00:14:22 ◼   ► might be planning something in the future so it in that case it's you know [TS]

00:14:28 ◼   ► time is of the essence so i don't know i would guess it's going to though I mean [TS]

00:14:33 ◼   ► that and then you know that I that the FBI obviously you know in the Justice [TS]

00:14:37 ◼   ► Department has some sort of path to expedite you know a case to the Supreme [TS]

00:14:42 ◼   ► Court but aren't they using this more as a precedent so that they can say okay [TS]

00:14:47 ◼   ► you you can order to do this and by the way we have these other five phone said [TS]

00:14:52 ◼   ► we needed done on right i think i think that this is all about [TS]

00:14:57 ◼   ► president I think it's less I and again you can you accuse me of being cynical [TS]

00:15:02 ◼   ► and maybe i'm wrong but it it seems to me from what I know of the case that the [TS]

00:15:06 ◼   ► to Center bernardino suspects didn't don't really seem like they were part of [TS]

00:15:11 ◼   ► you know a widespread terrorist group it wasn't like they were really part of [TS]

00:15:18 ◼   ► like al-qaeda or Isis or whatever you know other groups are out there that [TS]

00:15:23 ◼   ► they were just two cooks you know and you know mentally ill and and poisoned [TS]

00:15:30 ◼   ► by it by this ideology but it was it doesn't really seem like they were any [TS]

00:15:34 ◼   ► kind of masterminds I mean it wasn't really a very mean it was a terrible [TS]

00:15:37 ◼   ► tragedy but it really seemed a little bit more bitterly personal that they [TS]

00:15:41 ◼   ► went shot a place where they work and they had you know you know personal [TS]

00:15:44 ◼   ► beefs with the people who who shot it up so I I think logically that the FBI [TS]

00:15:52 ◼   ► making a big cases isn't really about getting information that's going to save [TS]

00:15:56 ◼   ► people you know that they really need it i think it's i think it's about the [TS]

00:16:00 ◼   ► president I mean and that once you've got what if they win this and they get [TS]

00:16:05 ◼   ► this they have a precedent that says we can come now we can use this president [TS]

00:16:10 ◼   ► to compel tech companies not just to give this it give us information that [TS]

00:16:15 ◼   ► they have access to but to force them to write software that gives us the access [TS]

00:16:22 ◼   ► that we want to write I mean and it's all sorts of there's all sorts of [TS]

00:16:26 ◼   ► implications that this brief if you take this president is as logical that all [TS]

00:16:30 ◼   ► sorts of things could happen could they compel Apple to re-engineer I message to [TS]

00:16:35 ◼   ► 22 so that it's not end-to-end encrypted anymore right [TS]

00:16:42 ◼   ► and II the the followed from this is endless [TS]

00:16:48 ◼   ► could be but [TS]

00:16:51 ◼   ► so let's look at the other way would have a win i think that nothing I think [TS]

00:16:57 ◼   ► that's you know nothing bad happens I think I mean and I guess other than the [TS]

00:17:01 ◼   ► fact that you know it's possible that in the future case there would be one where [TS]

00:17:07 ◼   ► there's information on a phone that law enforcement as and they can't get to it [TS]

00:17:12 ◼   ► and if they could it would be better for society but that's you know that's sort [TS]

00:17:17 ◼   ► of situation is that that's the price of Liberty right like you can't take I [TS]

00:17:26 ◼   ► don't think you can take the absolute I personally feel very strong you can't [TS]

00:17:29 ◼   ► take the absolutist position that law enforcement should be able to get [TS]

00:17:32 ◼   ► anything and everything they want the elevator that the FBI wins and and now [TS]

00:17:38 ◼   ► Apple has to write the software and break into the phone but what's stopping [TS]

00:17:44 ◼   ► people then just not using Apple's built-in things and using another form [TS]

00:17:51 ◼   ► of happen and strong encryption right do they does the FBI then need to sue that [TS]

00:17:58 ◼   ► company to open up right that's one of the reasons that I feel I honestly feel [TS]

00:18:02 ◼   ► that the FBI is being driven and part of this is really driven by the public [TS]

00:18:08 ◼   ► statements of like FBI director Comey and and others is that a large part of [TS]

00:18:13 ◼   ► this is I hate to say it because I'd like to think that we'd have better [TS]

00:18:18 ◼   ► people in there but people who generally genuinely don't understand the [TS]

00:18:21 ◼   ► technology right and they don't understand that you either either [TS]

00:18:25 ◼   ► everybody has security through encryption or nobody does and that there [TS]

00:18:31 ◼   ► is no way to have security and again i add a couple of people of emphasizes [TS]

00:18:38 ◼   ► there's privacy angles on this but there's I i think the security angle is [TS]

00:18:42 ◼   ► is more compelling and you know it's a little you know some of its conflated [TS]

00:18:49 ◼   ► but it's you know what happens if somebody steals your phone are you leave [TS]

00:18:55 ◼   ► it in a cab and somebody gets it and it's it's not it and it's relatively [TS]

00:19:00 ◼   ► easier there's some sort of known way [TS]

00:19:03 ◼   ► to get to the contents of it well there's that's genuine security problem [TS]

00:19:07 ◼   ► given the information that a lot of us have on our phones but you know [TS]

00:19:10 ◼   ► financial information you know and a personal information you know the photos [TS]

00:19:15 ◼   ► we have and stuff like that [TS]

00:19:16 ◼   ► I it's definitely a security thing but I feel like that the the FBI clearly [TS]

00:19:23 ◼   ► doesn't see this properly that they're looking that they there somehow looking [TS]

00:19:27 ◼   ► for some kind of magic solution but it would it would really like a law that [TS]

00:19:31 ◼   ► that that crippled apples ability just pick one company but are any US company [TS]

00:19:37 ◼   ► that but a US company to do not have secure encryption on these devices would [TS]

00:19:44 ◼   ► really harm them in the worldwide market it truly would because there's [TS]

00:19:49 ◼   ► absolutely nothing [TS]

00:19:50 ◼   ► it wouldn't keep people bad guys from having encryption it would only keep [TS]

00:19:54 ◼   ► them from having encryption out-of-the-box on a us-made device right [TS]

00:19:59 ◼   ► right [TS]

00:20:00 ◼   ► isn't that what I mean that's more or less what you're saying right right yeah [TS]

00:20:03 ◼   ► and ok so the US government win says then every other government is going to [TS]

00:20:10 ◼   ► come and say yeah wewe kind of want to look at this fellow's phone [TS]

00:20:13 ◼   ► absolutely and you know that there's this funny thing and who knows [TS]

00:20:19 ◼   ► by the time the show airs maybe the times will have a separate story about [TS]

00:20:23 ◼   ► it but there was this weird thing I link to yesterday where it was actually [TS]

00:20:27 ◼   ► Edward Snowden was the one whose Twitter account and he's been all over this on [TS]

00:20:34 ◼   ► twitter for obvious reasons on but Edward Snowden noted a passage in a new [TS]

00:20:39 ◼   ► york times story on this that was about China and like within an hour that the [TS]

00:20:45 ◼   ► whole segment of the article was edited out of the new york times article it [TS]

00:20:48 ◼   ► still isn't back but basically here's what it said I'll just read it this is [TS]

00:20:51 ◼   ► from New York Times report [TS]

00:20:53 ◼   ► china is watching the dispute closely analyste the Chinese government does [TS]

00:20:57 ◼   ► take cues from the United States when it comes to encryption regulations and that [TS]

00:21:00 ◼   ► it would most likely demand that multinational companies provide [TS]

00:21:04 ◼   ► accommodation similar to those in the United States last year beijing backed [TS]

00:21:07 ◼   ► off several proposals that would have mandated that foreign firms provide [TS]

00:21:11 ◼   ► providing encryption keys for devices sold in China after [TS]

00:21:15 ◼   ► heavy pressure from foreign trade groups a push from American law enforcement [TS]

00:21:20 ◼   ► agencies to unlock iphones would embolden Beijing to demand the same i [TS]

00:21:27 ◼   ► think it's clear i mean China is just one country i mean why wouldn't every [TS]

00:21:30 ◼   ► country right and then what is Apple's gonna need to open up a brand new [TS]

00:21:35 ◼   ► company just to shoot with all of this stuff right [TS]

00:21:38 ◼   ► I mean does does Apple give the software to the FBI in order to hack it [TS]

00:21:46 ◼   ► themselves or does the FBI give the device to apple an apple doesn't believe [TS]

00:21:52 ◼   ► from what i read of this case that at FBI is offered either way that they've [TS]

00:21:56 ◼   ► said whatever you want if you want to give us the software and have us do it [TS]

00:22:01 ◼   ► we'll do it if you want us to bring the device to you and do it your facilities [TS]

00:22:05 ◼   ► will do that they just want the code but it's a slippery so either way i really [TS]

00:22:10 ◼   ► do think so [TS]

00:22:11 ◼   ► I absolutely and I know that slippery slope arguments it it may be there [TS]

00:22:16 ◼   ► overused you know overall just in our debates about all sorts of stuff but I [TS]

00:22:21 ◼   ► think in this case it really is a slippery slope [TS]

00:22:26 ◼   ► it isn't isn't the government's position that they just want this one device you [TS]

00:22:34 ◼   ► know that's all we want we just want this one device but once that's done [TS]

00:22:38 ◼   ► there's no turning back right because that's how the law works you know it's [TS]

00:22:42 ◼   ► you know one case sets precedent for future cases [TS]

00:22:45 ◼   ► yeah which is why Apple has to take a stand on this one and you know that's [TS]

00:22:50 ◼   ► why I think what what the government did in choosing this case was so strategic [TS]

00:22:56 ◼   ► for yeah i think and again it's you know the basic just about it with you know if [TS]

00:23:03 ◼   ► you really want to talk about good guys and bad guys is that even reasonably [TS]

00:23:08 ◼   ► smart and well-organized bad guys are going to use their own encryption [TS]

00:23:13 ◼   ► software not that necessary that they wrote but that they're going to do you [TS]

00:23:17 ◼   ► know it's obviously is out there and and the u.s. can't stop the rest of the [TS]

00:23:22 ◼   ► world from writing good secure encryption software right um that's it [TS]

00:23:27 ◼   ► they're just going to use [TS]

00:23:28 ◼   ► third-party software if the first party software can and maybe for reasonable [TS]

00:23:33 ◼   ► reasons maybe the smart ones already don't trust anything written by Apple or [TS]

00:23:39 ◼   ► Google or would you know any other US company and they're already doing it and [TS]

00:23:43 ◼   ► the dumb bad guys with their dollars right so why do you need [TS]

00:23:50 ◼   ► why do you need to make everybody software insecure do your job right like [TS]

00:23:55 ◼   ► its it and I guess part of it is that there's an entitlement as in the u.s. [TS]

00:23:58 ◼   ► like law enforcement gets so in the u.s. is in such a privileged position in [TS]

00:24:04 ◼   ► terms of what they get in the way that they're you know they have access to so [TS]

00:24:12 ◼   ► much but that they there's a sense of entitlement that not only should they be [TS]

00:24:16 ◼   ► able to get stuff but they should be able to get whatever they want easily [TS]

00:24:18 ◼   ► and there is you know that's not necessarily the case if the truth is [TS]

00:24:22 ◼   ► that its it really really mathematically difficult or we even to the point of [TS]

00:24:27 ◼   ► calling impossible to break the encryption on the device well tough [TS]

00:24:30 ◼   ► noogies you know I mean you've got that's you know you guys have a tough [TS]

00:24:33 ◼   ► job [TS]

00:24:34 ◼   ► I mean I'm not saying that a glibly and I realized that mistakes can be high in [TS]

00:24:38 ◼   ► a you know a criminal case or in an investigation but that's just the way it [TS]

00:24:42 ◼   ► is it's really it's not that different than arguing a and I go these analogies [TS]

00:24:50 ◼   ► sometimes to the real world can get can get difficult but it's like sometimes [TS]

00:24:58 ◼   ► people will say you know what why would you feel if if somebody kidnapped a [TS]

00:25:04 ◼   ► family member and the police knew where they were but they couldn't break down [TS]

00:25:11 ◼   ► the door [TS]

00:25:13 ◼   ► that's a rough and it's a tough analogy because i don't think there exists like [TS]

00:25:17 ◼   ► a door that the police can't break into right but that sort but like what if you [TS]

00:25:22 ◼   ► could make one what if what if it somebody invents at adore you could [TS]

00:25:26 ◼   ► build a house that that the police can't break into would that be illegal [TS]

00:25:31 ◼   ► not with that there's no law against it now you have to pass a law specifically [TS]

00:25:35 ◼   ► against it right at it [TS]

00:25:36 ◼   ► just that the math is such that we've been able to make virtual locks through [TS]

00:25:42 ◼   ► encryption that are actually unbreakable and the government of all organizations [TS]

00:25:50 ◼   ► tells us to be safe and tells us to you know not necessarily encrypt everything [TS]

00:25:58 ◼   ► but do everything that you can to to protect yourself in your identity and [TS]

00:26:02 ◼   ► and protect all this stuff but as soon as they make it back door then the back [TS]

00:26:08 ◼   ► door is there for everybody and and I don't know what they don't understand [TS]

00:26:13 ◼   ► about that i mean you mentioned it earlier about these people not [TS]

00:26:16 ◼   ► understanding the technology but do they not care that they're making a backdoor [TS]

00:26:23 ◼   ► or do they really not understand that once the back door is there it's there [TS]

00:26:27 ◼   ► for all [TS]

00:26:27 ◼   ► well I'll just out to pick and iíve mentioned Trump before our pics on from [TS]

00:26:31 ◼   ► the other side but I've listened to Hillary Clinton talked about this [TS]

00:26:34 ◼   ► several times and she heard her argument is one of us will put enough smart [TS]

00:26:40 ◼   ► people in a room and I'm sure they'll be able to come up with something and I get [TS]

00:26:46 ◼   ► asked I genuinely think she believes that but it's that's there's you know [TS]

00:26:50 ◼   ► what they're looking for it what day and what they claim that smart people at [TS]

00:26:55 ◼   ► Apple and Google ought to be able to make is is something that the FBI can [TS]

00:26:59 ◼   ► use and no one else can use and that's just not that's not possible [TS]

00:27:03 ◼   ► and there's just you can keep talking in circles about it but there's just no way [TS]

00:27:07 ◼   ► that it could happen so doesn't the government have enough smart people of [TS]

00:27:13 ◼   ► their own that are telling them this is impossible [TS]

00:27:17 ◼   ► I don't know that there must be at it at a certain level one everybody right but [TS]

00:27:22 ◼   ► that may be that they're not because they're not at the you know executive [TS]

00:27:26 ◼   ► ranks that they're you know they're its treated as well that's your argument you [TS]

00:27:31 ◼   ► know here's our argument we want the information and it seems to be kind of a [TS]

00:27:39 ◼   ► you know they've got the blinders on and they can see beyond apple is the [TS]

00:27:46 ◼   ► information they just have to get through apple to get it [TS]

00:27:48 ◼   ► I'm this all fits with something and i think apple is not surprised by this I [TS]

00:27:53 ◼   ► think Apple as I don't you know I know a couple of these articles have have [TS]

00:27:57 ◼   ► really put this as a linchpin of of the Tim Cook era at apple and i'm not quite [TS]

00:28:03 ◼   ► sure how much that has to do with the difference between Tim Cook and steve [TS]

00:28:06 ◼   ► jobs and how much it has to do with just the timing of you know when Jobs got ill [TS]

00:28:12 ◼   ► enough to step down and and cook took over but you know which is when this [TS]

00:28:16 ◼   ► issue became hot you know that that you know it it just coincides you know that [TS]

00:28:23 ◼   ► the transition from from jobs to cook coincides with when this you know the [TS]

00:28:28 ◼   ► cell phones as objects of desire from law enforcement really heated up but the [TS]

00:28:35 ◼   ► gist of it is I heard this years ago from a couple people at Apple was that [TS]

00:28:39 ◼   ► the edict came down from the top from tim cook on down that anything new that [TS]

00:28:45 ◼   ► we create that stores data I we should store in a way that even we can't see it [TS]

00:28:54 ◼   ► so that when we get requests for it we can say we can't give it to you that [TS]

00:28:59 ◼   ► other and that and that anything we already have existing systems that maybe [TS]

00:29:05 ◼   ► don't comply with that they need to be identified and we need to rewrite them [TS]

00:29:10 ◼   ► in a way that that you know protect the data so that we even we can't do it and [TS]

00:29:16 ◼   ► that that's the only way that you know we can have joined and purpose of this [TS]

00:29:20 ◼   ► isn't up to obstruct law enforcement it's that if we don't take that [TS]

00:29:26 ◼   ► philosophy that even we can't get the data then it's not really safe right and [TS]

00:29:32 ◼   ► I I think that goes back a lot to you know where Apple makes its money they [TS]

00:29:38 ◼   ► don't want your data they don't care about your data and and others do so you [TS]

00:29:44 ◼   ► know it's it's reasonable [TS]

00:29:47 ◼   ► I mean the argument that we talked about with Peter it's reasonable to consider [TS]

00:29:51 ◼   ► the fact that other companies have cooperated in the past because they do [TS]

00:29:58 ◼   ► look at the data [TS]

00:30:00 ◼   ► you know so yeah one of the things and another one i know i mentioned earlier [TS]

00:30:05 ◼   ► that i'm really curious about what let's just say if you're a iCloud backup user [TS]

00:30:11 ◼   ► and the FBI comes to apple says we'd like to see Jim Dalrymple's iCloud [TS]

00:30:17 ◼   ► backup [TS]

00:30:18 ◼   ► what did they get I i would love to know that and if there's an answer that Apple [TS]

00:30:22 ◼   ► is given i can couldn't find it so if anybody knows i would love to know the [TS]

00:30:26 ◼   ► other question I have this week and it gets back to your original question of [TS]

00:30:30 ◼   ► why is it Apple that's that's in this fight [TS]

00:30:32 ◼   ► how come we never hear about their they're not you i get none of them are [TS]

00:30:38 ◼   ► US companies accept other than Microsoft luton but like we never hear about [TS]

00:30:42 ◼   ► Samsung or LG or any of these other companies like what do they do when the [TS]

00:30:46 ◼   ► suspect has an android phone [TS]

00:30:48 ◼   ► why is this why is this not in the news at all like what happens is it is it [TS]

00:30:52 ◼   ► that it's it it is it just one of those things where Apple gets headlines and so [TS]

00:30:58 ◼   ► people only write about it when it's apple in the iphone or is it is android [TS]

00:31:03 ◼   ► different and it's you know like a trivial that even when you have a [TS]

00:31:07 ◼   ► passcode that there's some way that they can get the information they want [TS]

00:31:11 ◼   ► I I don't understand why nobody's writing about that and I don't have the [TS]

00:31:15 ◼   ► you know I don't have the perspective of it [TS]

00:31:18 ◼   ► well they're there must be some requests from the government to google for [TS]

00:31:24 ◼   ► information must be [TS]

00:31:26 ◼   ► oh definitely um and the thing about google but that's that's online content [TS]

00:31:33 ◼   ► and who knows maybe it's because if you use an android phone e everybody who [TS]

00:31:37 ◼   ► uses android phones signed up for google and going to google is enough that they [TS]

00:31:42 ◼   ► don't need to go to the right that's what I'm saying you know that they they [TS]

00:31:46 ◼   ► have anything though because there's things like text messages right so [TS]

00:31:49 ◼   ► Android users send a lot of SMS text messages they don't go through google [TS]

00:31:53 ◼   ► right so if the FBI wants to see those they need to get them off the phone and [TS]

00:32:00 ◼   ► I can't help but think that they would want to still want to access the phone [TS]

00:32:03 ◼   ► and I you know does what what percentage of android users back up all of their [TS]

00:32:08 ◼   ► photos too [TS]

00:32:09 ◼   ► google I mean there must be some percentage but is it all [TS]

00:32:12 ◼   ► I don't know ok up I'm gonna throw something out there that making be funny [TS]

00:32:16 ◼   ► but maybe as as we know from on the the things that we see maybe android is just [TS]

00:32:25 ◼   ► so four holes that the FBI can hack it themselves [TS]

00:32:28 ◼   ► yeah that's why add at that sort of what I'm hinting at you know iOS is very [TS]

00:32:37 ◼   ► secure operating system and a lot of it because apple doesn't really care about [TS]

00:32:43 ◼   ► your data they care about your security in your privacy and you know I'm trying [TS]

00:32:50 ◼   ► not to be too you know Fanny here but I i believe that to be true and we we've [TS]

00:32:59 ◼   ► seen the mall where and and things that can infect android phone so what's I [TS]

00:33:06 ◼   ► mean I tend to think that the FBI just sat down with some with smart people and [TS]

00:33:11 ◼   ► said Jack this thing and then they can I yeah I don't know let me take a break [TS]

00:33:19 ◼   ► here and and we come back to it but i'll take a break here and thank our first [TS]

00:33:49 ◼   ► they liked it so much they just bought the factory and it's fundamentally this [TS]

00:36:19 ◼   ► hallmark of Tim Cook is is a an end i would say without question the biggest [TS]

00:36:28 ◼   ► difference between cook and jobs is that jobs would with [TS]

00:36:34 ◼   ► fly off the handle and you know just a small example but remember in 2007 when [TS]

00:36:43 ◼   ► it was people first iphone came out people how can we can write native apps [TS]

00:36:52 ◼   ► bring down the whole west coast phone network now I there's an argument to be [TS]

00:37:00 ◼   ► made that did you know like what if it was a super popular app like Facebook [TS]

00:37:04 ◼   ► and what if there was a terrible bug that it [TS]

00:37:07 ◼   ► you no-good kept the data connection on full-time if the app is installed it [TS]

00:37:12 ◼   ► there's some you know it's not it's completely dead but it wasn't a good [TS]

00:37:16 ◼   ► answer but that's jobs right where's Tim Cook Tim Cook is is so he's like a [TS]

00:37:25 ◼   ► yes and I do i believe that i don't think there's anything that Apple said [TS]

00:37:31 ◼   ► at least an open letter that I even raised an eyebrow [TS]

00:37:36 ◼   ► me neither I mean the only thing that I think is up for debate is whether [TS]

00:37:40 ◼   ► qualifies as a back door and the only reason i'd say that and Tim Cook says [TS]

00:37:45 ◼   ► you know and even admit it says in the letter the FBI is using different words [TS]

00:37:49 ◼   ► i call it a back door but he's even acknowledging he's he's careful enough [TS]

00:37:53 ◼   ► and fair enough that even acknowledges that there's a debate over whether [TS]

00:37:57 ◼   ► backdoors the right word and I think that argument that it's not a backdoor [TS]

00:38:00 ◼   ► is that a backdoor maybe you could argue is something that Apple ships to [TS]

00:38:04 ◼   ► everybody and it's in in the phone that you buy from apple it's already there [TS]

00:38:10 ◼   ► you know that it that this is something that the FBI and that's not what the FBI [TS]

00:38:16 ◼   ► is asking for their not asking the FBI is not asking Apple to to push at a [TS]

00:38:19 ◼   ► software update to every iphone out in the world that would let them bypass the [TS]

00:38:24 ◼   ► passcode they're saying do this just one but you know given the videos at Tim [TS]

00:38:29 ◼   ► Cook said I believe him get with the FBI i don't know i think i think one [TS]

00:38:33 ◼   ► argument a couple people made including john mcafee come on the show ends right [TS]

00:38:41 ◼   ► now [TS]

00:38:42 ◼   ► come on come on you don't it's either the FBI is lying and they have hackers [TS]

00:38:49 ◼   ► on their staff who could break in to get this passcode right now or they're [TS]

00:38:53 ◼   ► incompetent because they should be able to like why can't they go to write down [TS]

00:38:57 ◼   ► the street to the NSA and and have this thing unlocked and I find it very [TS]

00:39:02 ◼   ► difficult to believe that the NSA couldn't do this and that if it was if [TS]

00:39:07 ◼   ► this one phone really was that important that they would do that and i find that [TS]

00:39:12 ◼   ► disingenuous that's and it's also what makes me think it's about the legal [TS]

00:39:15 ◼   ► precedent not the actual information on the San Bernardino suspects phone so you [TS]

00:39:20 ◼   ► you think that the NSA could hack this iphone on their own [TS]

00:39:26 ◼   ► I don't have any reason to believe that are not that i have reasonably but i [TS]

00:39:30 ◼   ► don't have proof i can't prove that for the obvious reason that you know what [TS]

00:39:35 ◼   ► the NSA keeps everything all of their capabilities secret but if I had to bet [TS]

00:39:40 ◼   ► all i would bet heavily that the NSA if you could could access the information [TS]

00:39:45 ◼   ► on this first so why bother going through all this [TS]

00:39:48 ◼   ► why not just going to get the president but what does the president actually [TS]

00:39:51 ◼   ► matter if they can hack it [TS]

00:39:54 ◼   ► well I think because going forward in the future there they're concerned about [TS]

00:39:58 ◼   ► the ever-escalating security of these phones and I guess that's one area where [TS]

00:40:03 ◼   ► we could talk about where you know what is one of the aspects of this is [TS]

00:40:08 ◼   ► whatever happens to apple in the courts on this case I think it's only going to [TS]

00:40:14 ◼   ► motivate them to further cleverly design the encryption mechanisms on the iphone [TS]

00:40:23 ◼   ► to make it impossible in the future to even comply with a request like this [TS]

00:40:30 ◼   ► so here's something we don't know and it's a little technical and hopefully i [TS]

00:40:35 ◼   ► will keep this straight enough that i'm going to be accurate but the phone and [TS]

00:40:40 ◼   ► in this case is an iphone 5c the San Bernardino phone and 5c is before the [TS]

00:40:45 ◼   ► secure Enclave and before touch ID and that makes it a simpler case [TS]

00:40:51 ◼   ► cryptographically to to get we're starting with the iphone 5s and going [TS]

00:40:59 ◼   ► forward the phones iPhones with the touch ID and the secure Enclave now [TS]

00:41:06 ◼   ► touch idea sort of irrelevant but it's the phones that have touch ID that have [TS]

00:41:10 ◼   ► the secure Enclave they use the secure Enclave in the path of encryption to [TS]

00:41:18 ◼   ► enforce it and so one of the things that limits the rate of so mathematically and [TS]

00:41:24 ◼   ► you don't really have to i even i really i have a computer science degree and I [TS]

00:41:28 ◼   ► did really well in math and I really this stuff really boggles my mind I [TS]

00:41:32 ◼   ► could but basically one of the keys used to encrypt the data on the phone is on [TS]

00:41:38 ◼   ► the secure Enclave and so as you know the the phone [TS]

00:41:42 ◼   ► iOS verifies that the passcode is correct it goes through the secure [TS]

00:41:47 ◼   ► Enclave in this year secure Enclave adds its key and there's no way to get that [TS]

00:41:51 ◼   ► key from iOS it just says okay secure Enclave here's the pass code that was [TS]

00:41:55 ◼   ► sent now output of that you give me the thing that lets me decrypted and it's [TS]

00:42:03 ◼   ► the secure Enclave that in forces this 80 millisecond time between brute-force [TS]

00:42:09 ◼   ► attempts which isn't that long except that if you want to do millions of them [TS]

00:42:13 ◼   ► to get like a six digit passcode 80 milliseconds means it takes a lot longer [TS]

00:42:19 ◼   ► to go through all of them than it would otherwise [TS]

00:42:21 ◼   ► and if you use an alphanumeric password captive if you're really concerned about [TS]

00:42:25 ◼   ► security in your phone and you use letters and numbers on the passcode it [TS]

00:42:29 ◼   ► really does make it the 80 milliseconds attempt between decryption attempts [TS]

00:42:33 ◼   ► really does make it timewise impossible [TS]

00:42:37 ◼   ► the question is [TS]

00:42:39 ◼   ► can Apple be forced to put like a flash update on the secure Enclave tote to [TS]

00:42:47 ◼   ► eliminate the 80 millisecond time between attempts and I think Apple [TS]

00:42:54 ◼   ► hasn't said publicly but reading between the lines I think the answer right now [TS]

00:42:59 ◼   ► might be yes and what somebody said was that for example like the iphone 5s [TS]

00:43:05 ◼   ► shipped with the secure Enclave and it didn't have that 80 milliseconds [TS]

00:43:08 ◼   ► enforcement between attempts and a software update later on added it [TS]

00:43:15 ◼   ► so if they can add something like that to secure Enclave they can obviously [TS]

00:43:19 ◼   ► take it away [TS]

00:43:20 ◼   ► the question is and I don't know that Apple's I don't think they want to say [TS]

00:43:26 ◼   ► his kid knows flash updates to the secure Enclave today [TS]

00:43:31 ◼   ► can they happen while the phone is locked because that's you know the whole [TS]

00:43:36 ◼   ► point is if the phone is already locked [TS]

00:43:38 ◼   ► maybe they can't flash update the secure Enclave to change the passcode right [TS]

00:43:43 ◼   ► it's like you [TS]

00:43:44 ◼   ► it's a catch-22 but if you can that might be something that Apple is very [TS]

00:43:51 ◼   ► strongly looking at the future to say well now we're going to engineer we're [TS]

00:43:54 ◼   ► going to have you know Johnny's Guruji's team engineer and secure Enclave where [TS]

00:43:58 ◼   ► this 80 milliseconds attempt between passcode attempts is hardwired into the [TS]

00:44:03 ◼   ► silicon and there's nothing we can do about it [TS]

00:44:05 ◼   ► I and it's got to be other things that they're looking at going forward like I [TS]

00:44:10 ◼   ► don't think we are at the end of apples how we secure your data on the phone i [TS]

00:44:15 ◼   ► think the every single year I in the last five years that the system has [TS]

00:44:21 ◼   ► gotten more clever and more completely sealed up so that even Apple can't do [TS]

00:44:27 ◼   ► anything with it [TS]

00:44:28 ◼   ► what if what if Apple so did they they lose this case and they say okay we will [TS]

00:44:35 ◼   ► give you this information but then they lock up the next operating system even [TS]

00:44:39 ◼   ► tighter so that there is no possible way I don't even know if that's possible [TS]

00:44:43 ◼   ► right [TS]

00:44:45 ◼   ► no I think it has to be though I definitely think it's possible to lock [TS]

00:44:48 ◼   ► it [TS]

00:44:49 ◼   ► tighter i think that that they could you know create it definitely create a [TS]

00:44:55 ◼   ► system where the the the the flash beam of the rom whatever you want to call it [TS]

00:45:00 ◼   ► the code that runs on the the secure enclosure where it can't be can't be [TS]

00:45:06 ◼   ► updated while the phone is locked i think that's definitely technically [TS]

00:45:09 ◼   ► technically possible i mean i could be wrong but I think it is so what does the [TS]

00:45:15 ◼   ► government do then does it go to court and say you can't make your OS any [TS]

00:45:21 ◼   ► stronger I and right and at that point I you know I guess they could try to pass [TS]

00:45:29 ◼   ► the law but and they really do start running up against issues like a that [TS]

00:45:35 ◼   ► would cripple us tech companies competitively worldwide absolutely would [TS]

00:45:41 ◼   ► be the crippling I mean who would want the US tech product if if they knew that [TS]

00:45:46 ◼   ► by mandated by US law that it had to be you know insecure and be i think that [TS]

00:45:51 ◼   ► there's a very strong constitutional argument that that's a violation of free [TS]

00:45:55 ◼   ► speech you know that that code is speech and saying you can't write code that [TS]

00:46:00 ◼   ► that does this is you know it's more or less saying that this you know this form [TS]

00:46:06 ◼   ► of mathematics is illegal [TS]

00:46:08 ◼   ► oh what a case i really do think it comes down to a sense of entitlement on [TS]

00:46:13 ◼   ► law enforcement that they feel like any any information that exists they should [TS]

00:46:16 ◼   ► be able to access and they they're unwilling to wrap their heads around the [TS]

00:46:19 ◼   ► idea that there's that were coming to a point where there will exist information [TS]

00:46:23 ◼   ► in the universe that they simply can't get I mean that i keep thinking and [TS]

00:46:29 ◼   ► again this isn't really a legal arguments to sort of a philosophical [TS]

00:46:31 ◼   ► argument but they've never had a right to the information in your head and in [TS]

00:46:38 ◼   ► fact the US Constitution US Constitution as the the Fifth Amendment which means [TS]

00:46:44 ◼   ► that you have a right not to incriminate yourself and so the you know if you [TS]

00:46:53 ◼   ► invoke it that you know even if you committed a crime [TS]

00:46:56 ◼   ► you cannot be forced to admit it in court [TS]

00:46:59 ◼   ► in some sense again this is not speaking legally but philosophically the [TS]

00:47:08 ◼   ► information on your phone is in some way an extension of what's in your head [TS]

00:47:11 ◼   ► right like the pictures you've taken our things you've seen that you want to [TS]

00:47:15 ◼   ► remember the notes you've written yourself or your your notes [TS]

00:47:18 ◼   ► ah I just don't think it's that outlandish philosophically that you [TS]

00:47:23 ◼   ► could have a phone that is so securely encrypted that if if law enforcement [TS]

00:47:30 ◼   ► takes it that they can't access it any more so than that they don't have a [TS]

00:47:34 ◼   ► right to go read your mind or force you to to testify against yourself how long [TS]

00:47:41 ◼   ► this case go on [TS]

00:47:43 ◼   ► I don't know I can't help but think it's I this particular case who knows but I [TS]

00:47:49 ◼   ► feel like the the argument isn't going to stop like even if this case gets [TS]

00:47:52 ◼   ► resolved some how quickly it's the next one coming is is is going to be the same [TS]

00:47:58 ◼   ► i I'm believe that this will go all the way to the Supreme Court because I don't [TS]

00:48:03 ◼   ► think either side we'll just let it fall but if they lose if the government loses [TS]

00:48:16 ◼   ► this case will they try a different tactic mean is there another legal way [TS]

00:48:22 ◼   ► for them to say okay well we argued that this last time but now we are doing this [TS]

00:48:30 ◼   ► I mean is this going to go on forever [TS]

00:48:32 ◼   ► I I i don't know i mean it may be you know i mean one thing we didn't mention [TS]

00:48:38 ◼   ► is that the that the the the foundation of the FBI's request and the judge that [TS]

00:48:43 ◼   ► the judge granted against apple is based on a the all writs Act of 1789 right [TS]

00:48:49 ◼   ► yeah it's so basing this on a law from 1789 would suggest that the law really [TS]

00:48:55 ◼   ► didn't have encrypted cell phones in mind [TS]

00:48:59 ◼   ► so how long lost or damaged it so that two of the things that I've taken away [TS]

00:49:06 ◼   ► this week is that one if if the FBI wins this sort of grants them under this [TS]

00:49:12 ◼   ► already [TS]

00:49:13 ◼   ► president that says we can get whatever we you know we can use this ancient law [TS]

00:49:16 ◼   ► to get whatever we want and we have this very powerful ability to force tech [TS]

00:49:21 ◼   ► companies to help us you know by writing new code and and stuff like that so that [TS]

00:49:29 ◼   ► would be good for the FBI from their perspective I don't think that's good [TS]

00:49:32 ◼   ► public policy I think that's terrible but from the law enforcement perspective [TS]

00:49:36 ◼   ► that would be they would see that as a win and I think if they lose this is why [TS]

00:49:40 ◼   ► I almost feel like the FBI might see this as a no-lose situation is if they [TS]

00:49:44 ◼   ► lose then they go to Congress and say look the law on the book we just tried [TS]

00:49:49 ◼   ► it we have to you know they go to they go to the Congress and they say we have [TS]

00:49:54 ◼   ► to be able to get this stuff to keep people safe from these crazy terrorists [TS]

00:50:00 ◼   ► that's very compelling to a lot of politicians who either believe it or be [TS]

00:50:06 ◼   ► cowardly you know it just don't want to be seen in on the wrong side of [TS]

00:50:10 ◼   ► terrorism right of beings quote-unquote strong against terrorism and they go to [TS]

00:50:17 ◼   ► Congress and say look we just fried with this law that's on the books and it we [TS]

00:50:21 ◼   ► lost so we need you to pass a new law that says blah about you know encryption [TS]

00:50:28 ◼   ► and and stuff like that and i think the only good solution for us publicly would [TS]

00:50:34 ◼   ► be if if that fails to but I feel like the FBI might suspect that they've got [TS]

00:50:38 ◼   ► that the support on in Congress to do that here's a question for you i wanted [TS]

00:50:46 ◼   ► to ask before we move off it is this does being a Canadian give you a [TS]

00:50:53 ◼   ► different perspective on this because I feel like Americans are often too [TS]

00:50:56 ◼   ► insular and we see these things as us only issues and just simply being on the [TS]

00:51:01 ◼   ► other side of the us-canadian border does it give you a different perspective [TS]

00:51:05 ◼   ► you know it's we we don't really have a lot of things like this that would come [TS]

00:51:15 ◼   ► up you know I I can't see the canadian government suing apple you know it's [TS]

00:51:23 ◼   ► just it [TS]

00:51:26 ◼   ► it's just not something that doesn't give did you have a sense that you don't [TS]

00:51:30 ◼   ► have liked him but implicit trust of the US Department of Justice I know I I [TS]

00:51:39 ◼   ► don't think it's I don't think it's that I think we're more or more trusting [TS]

00:51:47 ◼   ► then what you guys are of your government we may not likely [TS]

00:51:52 ◼   ► you know our government will put in new taxes which they do all the time and we [TS]

00:51:58 ◼   ► just allen bosh turning that's awful but you know we paid that's fine you know [TS]

00:52:06 ◼   ► where you guys me Brian like no no you're not gonna do that [TS]

00:52:11 ◼   ► the thing I keep thinking about too is just that it the stuff is all so new [TS]

00:52:15 ◼   ► it's only 20 25 years that anybody really you know public you know typical [TS]

00:52:19 ◼   ► people had access to computers and computer networking and law enforcement [TS]

00:52:22 ◼   ► work just fine before that it's just it's not like everything that they used [TS]

00:52:27 ◼   ► to be able to do before their cell phones that they night they can't do [TS]

00:52:31 ◼   ► anymore it's just new information and new a new source of evidence that that [TS]

00:52:36 ◼   ► they have had access to but if they don't have access to it if they can't [TS]

00:52:41 ◼   ► get anything they want off an iphone that has a strong passcode on it i don't [TS]

00:52:45 ◼   ► think that that means that law enforcement can't do its job well and [TS]

00:52:49 ◼   ► then but the difference between then and now is that then the bad guys weren't [TS]

00:52:56 ◼   ► using cell phones either so there were they were recording information in [TS]

00:53:00 ◼   ► different ways that that the government could have access to what you know so if [TS]

00:53:08 ◼   ► they're if they're now using the cell phones to record all of their [TS]

00:53:11 ◼   ► information and the government can access that then that you know there is [TS]

00:53:15 ◼   ► an argument that they don't have access like they used to but you know i'm still [TS]

00:53:20 ◼   ► drawn back to to what you said about the NSA does if the NSA has access and this [TS]

00:53:28 ◼   ► seems like a dangerous move for the government to do for a precedent that [TS]

00:53:33 ◼   ► they might not need [TS]

00:53:36 ◼   ► you know and I don't know it could be it could be a bad move if they can get it i [TS]

00:53:44 ◼   ► mean i don't understand why they just wouldn't say and whatever you know you [TS]

00:53:49 ◼   ► don't need to give us that we've got access any way to anything that we want [TS]

00:53:53 ◼   ► I really don't think that they do [TS]

00:53:56 ◼   ► ok could the iphone be that good that they don't know it's it you know you [TS]

00:54:03 ◼   ► never know what the n.o in the end of the NSA knows of a flaw in the scheme [TS]

00:54:07 ◼   ► they're going to keep their mouths shut about it but it's it does seem to me [TS]

00:54:10 ◼   ► that Apple is moving towards creating a complete system that can you know can [TS]

00:54:16 ◼   ► mathematically be shown that it can't be can't be broken with the combination of [TS]

00:54:21 ◼   ► you know with the secure Enclave and when and with all the various ways that [TS]

00:54:28 ◼   ► the keys are stored to to get everything encrypted or unencrypted boy wearing for [TS]

00:54:35 ◼   ► how long do you think that this initial part will take is this i got a $MONEY a [TS]

00:54:41 ◼   ► month thing or I don't know i have a yeah I guess I know apples been given [TS]

00:54:46 ◼   ► tulle fabric we're recording on februari 19 and I know they have like one week to [TS]

00:54:52 ◼   ► file their response so i think you know a couple of months i'm guessing i'll [TS]

00:58:19 ◼   ► argument against it would be and it seemed like you know I worried [TS]

00:58:23 ◼   ► afterwards that maybe I didn't ask good enough questions I hard questions maybe [TS]

00:58:28 ◼   ► the wrong term to use but maybe I that I didn't press quite hard enough i really [TS]

00:58:32 ◼   ► was worried afterwards and then the show came out and I read all the reactions i [TS]

00:58:36 ◼   ► read all the emails i read all the tweets and most people seem to really [TS]

00:58:39 ◼   ► like it but there were definitely some people are like dude you asked this [TS]

00:58:42 ◼   ► question and they didn't give a straight answer and you didn't press him on it [TS]

00:58:46 ◼   ► and your eyes gonna have that though you mean you and I've been doing this long [TS]

00:58:51 ◼   ► enough to know that no matter what we ask but people are going to react like [TS]

00:58:56 ◼   ► that and my take on it is well at least I asked and I thought even the ones that [TS]

00:59:05 ◼   ► they didn't answer straightforwardly they at least they weren't there their [TS]

00:59:08 ◼   ► answers weren't completely empty [TS]

00:59:10 ◼   ► you know and and I know that they're you know it they're both surprisingly good [TS]

00:59:18 ◼   ► this is the thing that blows me away it'sit's is for two people who don't do [TS]

00:59:22 ◼   ► podcast regularly I know [TS]

00:59:24 ◼   ► federighi was on the show back in December to talk about Swift I don't [TS]

00:59:28 ◼   ► know that eq I don't know these ever done a podcast before I've seen him on [TS]

00:59:31 ◼   ► interviews like a tree code or something like that but he doesn't do it a lot [TS]

00:59:35 ◼   ► but it's a they came across as like naturals right yeah and I know that [TS]

00:59:41 ◼   ► there's no way that if they're not going to answer the first time they're not [TS]

00:59:43 ◼   ► going to answer if I if I reinsert it and then all of a sudden it the [TS]

00:59:49 ◼   ► discussion loses the the flow [TS]

00:59:53 ◼   ► yeah well I i think that you've got a lot of great information i think that [TS]

00:59:58 ◼   ► yes [TS]

00:59:58 ◼   ► yes [TS]

01:00:08 ◼   ► great interview it was informative it was you know entertaining so you [TS]

01:00:17 ◼   ► actually got a lot more than what i would have suspected I the one thing [TS]

01:00:23 ◼   ► that I think is interesting is the it goes beyond any words that actually came [TS]

01:00:29 ◼   ► out of either of their mouth is the fact that the interview happened at all shows [TS]

01:00:34 ◼   ► that Apple definitely cares about this whole perception of apple software being [TS]

01:00:42 ◼   ► in decline right or being are having less Karen thought put into it than [TS]

01:00:50 ◼   ► their hardware and that Apple at the fact that the interview happened at all [TS]

01:00:53 ◼   ► shows that Apple wants to counter that which I thought was interesting and so [TS]

01:00:59 ◼   ► any sort of you know thought that apple doesn't pay attention to these [TS]

01:01:02 ◼   ► discussions you know a on the outside I i think it's clear that they do up to [TS]

01:01:11 ◼   ► that very highest levels of the company [TS]

01:01:12 ◼   ► yeah i agree i mean i've interviewed any before never interviewed Craig but [TS]

01:01:21 ◼   ► interviewed any before and you know me a he's a great guy i really like getting [TS]

01:01:27 ◼   ► and you know I didn't I think their personalities came across in the [TS]

01:01:35 ◼   ► interview that you gave I mean yeah it's great to get the the information but [TS]

01:01:38 ◼   ► they could have been you know what blankets and the interview too and it [TS]

01:01:42 ◼   ► would have been very difficult and then you know maybe that's when you start [TS]

01:01:46 ◼   ► asking the questions just no answer this one question if there is one and it's [TS]

01:01:54 ◼   ► always the case that there's always at least one it's like it's all over like [TS]

01:01:59 ◼   ► it stopped and the recording is over and I think that's great and immediately I [TS]

01:02:03 ◼   ► like oh I knew the one question I wanted [TS]

01:02:05 ◼   ► this is I really wanted to ask Eddie and I can't believe I forgot it or just it [TS]

01:02:11 ◼   ► was in my notes but it just never seemed to come up in the flow is I wanted to [TS]

01:02:14 ◼   ► ask Eddie if he himself has ever hit the bug where your iphone or your iOS device [TS]

01:02:22 ◼   ► could be iphone could be ipad but your iOS device starts asking you for your [TS]

01:02:25 ◼   ► iCloud password and you enter it and then it like a second goes by and then [TS]

01:02:32 ◼   ► it comes the same dialogue comes back up and then you enter it and it goes away [TS]

01:02:36 ◼   ► just long enough that you think okay its stock and then it comes back and it [TS]

01:02:40 ◼   ► doesn't say your password was incorrect and like when it when it when I hit this [TS]

01:02:46 ◼   ► you know and I think everybody's part of the same way where you can kind of enter [TS]

01:02:50 ◼   ► your iCloud password pretty fast and go do it and then this when you hit this [TS]

01:02:55 ◼   ► bug which I know exists i just you know I've seen firsthand I know other people [TS]

01:02:59 ◼   ► talk about it but then like by the third time you start entering your password [TS]

01:03:02 ◼   ► very very carefully [TS]

01:03:04 ◼   ► yeah you like me like you do one character at a time and finger and you [TS]

01:03:09 ◼   ► actually look at the pop-up letters as they come [TS]

01:03:12 ◼   ► and then you hit return and then it goes away and you think oh that's all the end [TS]

01:03:17 ◼   ► then then it comes back up i wanted to ask any that and I didn't and damn it I [TS]

01:03:21 ◼   ► really regret it [TS]

01:03:22 ◼   ► were you satisfied with the with the way that the conversation went to meet ya i [TS]

01:03:27 ◼   ► dont really was i I worry deeply about it because I I don't feel like being in [TS]

01:03:33 ◼   ► that role of interviewing people like that it is comes naturally to me so I [TS]

01:03:37 ◼   ► mean I I stressed don't I hope it didn't sound that way but I stress greatly [TS]

01:03:41 ◼   ► about it before [TS]

01:03:42 ◼   ► no it didn't sound that way and he said I thought it was a really entertaining [TS]

01:03:49 ◼   ► interview I think that implicit in their response to the issue of the software [TS]

01:03:54 ◼   ► you know being in decline is that I thought one of the most interesting [TS]

01:03:59 ◼   ► answers to that was Craig federighi said that the bar is being raised its higher [TS]

01:04:07 ◼   ► than ever and then that's in terms of expectations that we have for how [TS]

01:04:12 ◼   ► reliable everything will work and how polished everything will be [TS]

01:04:16 ◼   ► I thought that was it you know again is it's sort of a non-answer [TS]

01:04:22 ◼   ► maybe but I think it's an interesting way of looking at it and that we [TS]

01:04:25 ◼   ► collectively see these problems now simply because we have higher higher [TS]

01:04:31 ◼   ► expectations [TS]

01:04:32 ◼   ► ok so let's let's look at that [TS]

01:04:36 ◼   ► why do we have higher expectations i think it's because Apple gives us higher [TS]

01:04:44 ◼   ► expectations you know where we're not I don't think that we as consumers are [TS]

01:04:51 ◼   ► saying Apple you know your your software is awful it it seems to me more that [TS]

01:04:58 ◼   ► Apple is saying you know when they do events and stuff [TS]

01:05:02 ◼   ► our software is great and ninety-nine percent of the time it really is great [TS]

01:05:09 ◼   ► but then when that one percent hits it's like okay this assistance so great I so [TS]

01:05:21 ◼   ► are we just holding apple up to their own of words and and what they say about [TS]

01:05:26 ◼   ► their software or are we being unfair and saying now iphone i don't think we [TS]

01:05:32 ◼   ► are being unfair and I think that it's it is central to the entire reason [TS]

01:05:39 ◼   ► Apple's own you know there's a lot of times where we're in other cases where [TS]

01:05:45 ◼   ► Apple seems to be held [TS]

01:05:47 ◼   ► he either by a publication or just one individual pundit or somebody to an [TS]

01:05:51 ◼   ► unreasonably high standard that other companies are held to and I call them [TS]

01:05:56 ◼   ► out sometimes you call them out you know other you know and mac elope calls them [TS]

01:06:01 ◼   ► out all the time [TS]

01:06:03 ◼   ► this is a case though where I think Apple itself asks to be held to a higher [TS]

01:06:09 ◼   ► standard right that Apple itself proclaims that our products because we [TS]

01:06:15 ◼   ► do the hope you know this is their story that because we do the whole thing we [TS]

01:06:19 ◼   ► control the software and the hardware integration between them we provide an [TS]

01:06:23 ◼   ► overall better experience then [TS]

01:06:25 ◼   ► our competitors who don't have that whole you know software and hardware [TS]

01:06:31 ◼   ► story to tell [TS]

01:06:32 ◼   ► they say that that's the Apple story right and I've long thought that that's [TS]

01:06:36 ◼   ► the you know that the can Apple succeed in the long run at yes but i think that [TS]

01:06:45 ◼   ► the only way they succeed in the long run is by continually providing a better [TS]

01:06:51 ◼   ► overall experience you know and and blurring the lines between hardware and [TS]

01:06:57 ◼   ► software and i think that overall they've done a great job with that you [TS]

01:07:01 ◼   ► know even even when you look at the integration between devices [TS]

01:07:07 ◼   ► I mean not just the integration between hardware and software but the [TS]

01:07:10 ◼   ► integration between ipad Mac iPhone you know that handoff and and I message [TS]

01:07:19 ◼   ► being everywhere and you know all that kind of stuff I I that makes the devices [TS]

01:07:24 ◼   ► more useful for me [TS]

01:07:26 ◼   ► Oh tremendously for me but it's I feel like that's one of those things that [TS]

01:07:30 ◼   ► where there's you know for so many I handoff works great for me and I do it [TS]

01:07:34 ◼   ► all the time where I'll be like walking around the house making coffee or [TS]

01:07:36 ◼   ► something and reading something on my phone and I want to link to it from [TS]

01:07:42 ◼   ► daring fireball but why not just wait till I get to my desk and do it from my [TS]

01:07:46 ◼   ► imac we have a nice keyboard and all i do is just sit down at my desk while the [TS]

01:07:50 ◼   ► phone is still open and right there at the side of my doc is the little hand [TS]

01:07:53 ◼   ► off you know Safari thing so i click one button and you know a second later the [TS]

01:07:59 ◼   ► webpage that was on my phone is now I click one button on on my mac and that [TS]

01:08:04 ◼   ► thing on my phone is now on my I think my phone is now on my Mac yeah and it [TS]

01:08:09 ◼   ► works great from but with you know a 700 million I cloud users is there you know [TS]

01:08:15 ◼   ► are there a million of them for whom that doesn't work for reasons they don't [TS]

01:08:19 ◼   ► understand you know is is 99.9 percent of people having it work good enough [TS]

01:08:26 ◼   ► how do you know and how do you solve it for them that the last ten percent well [TS]

01:08:30 ◼   ► i think you know one thing then that we all know is that there's always going to [TS]

01:08:35 ◼   ► be problems and bugs with software you know and and [TS]

01:08:39 ◼   ► more accepting of that I i really believe that we are accepting of that [TS]

01:08:44 ◼   ► and you know if you look at something like iCloud people I quad is is a [TS]

01:08:49 ◼   ► favorite one of the favorite whipping horses of of people for me Ike works [TS]

01:08:58 ◼   ► great i called services work great and I think a lot of it comes down to how we [TS]

01:09:02 ◼   ► use it so i use iCloud more like more like God I got consumer you know [TS]

01:09:12 ◼   ► yeah and I'll give one example that i know i know i'm not alone with is the [TS]

01:09:18 ◼   ► sinking of the text shortcuts so in other words the black if you set up in [TS]

01:09:26 ◼   ► like a text the way that OS 10 and iOS have like a text at a simple text [TS]

01:09:31 ◼   ► expander like system where you can have a little shortcut like you type addr and [TS]

01:09:37 ◼   ► then expands to your full address i was bedeviled for months with an inability [TS]

01:09:45 ◼   ► they're supposed to sync between devices and four months I was absolutely [TS]

01:09:49 ◼   ► bedeviled by sinking problems between them [TS]

01:09:52 ◼   ► we're just all sorts of craziness would happen where they'd be doubled where [TS]

01:09:58 ◼   ► they all of a sudden none of them are on my phone and sometimes online [TS]

01:10:03 ◼   ► I mean anything that could go wrong went wrong all of a sudden my Mac went back [TS]

01:10:06 ◼   ► two or one of my max would go back to like the default ones that the ship when [TS]

01:10:11 ◼   ► it's brand-new and I think I I'd think that what happened was that it had the [TS]

01:10:18 ◼   ► problems initially happened for me when I was running the iOS 9 beta last summer [TS]

01:10:23 ◼   ► my own and that something got corrupted in my icloud account that even after iOS [TS]

01:10:30 ◼   ► came out of iOS 9 came out of beta that something was wrong with those two [TS]

01:10:34 ◼   ► keyboard shortcuts or text shortcuts whatever they call them and then four [TS]

01:10:39 ◼   ► months afterwards it was all messed up and eventually though it just it got [TS]

01:10:46 ◼   ► fixed lag end of it [TS]

01:10:48 ◼   ► knock on wood but for like the last few months [TS]

01:10:51 ◼   ► it just works and I've even like doubted myself and just gone there and [TS]

01:10:56 ◼   ► painstakingly i beheld my phone up to my mac and scroll both lists to make sure [TS]

01:11:01 ◼   ► that there's not like I just know there's gonna be one missing and I get [TS]

01:11:05 ◼   ► to the bottom and be like damn they're all there and they're all the same and [TS]

01:11:09 ◼   ► so I you know I don't know who knows how that happen who knows if it fixed itself [TS]

01:11:13 ◼   ► who knows if somebody at Apple fixed a bug figured it out and did it but even [TS]

01:11:19 ◼   ► when stuff like that happens and again I don't want to be seen here as as a [TS]

01:11:24 ◼   ► wholly on Apple side of this argument but i do think though that that it's [TS]

01:11:30 ◼   ► easy for somebody who's experienced the same thing to look at the syncing [TS]

01:11:35 ◼   ► between those texture cuts as buggy because i was buggy and to overlook the [TS]

01:11:39 ◼   ► fact that it's not buggy right now I know security Syracuse is always talk on [TS]

01:11:43 ◼   ► ATP that heat he can't get his addresses to sink right yeah and i gotta tell you [TS]

01:11:49 ◼   ► i have i have not had a problem with address sinking in iCloud at ever i mean [TS]

01:11:54 ◼   ► i've been using it since it was called you know I tools or whatever it usable [TS]

01:11:59 ◼   ► format home maybe back then maybe back then I had some i don't know i didn't [TS]

01:12:05 ◼   ► even have an iphone back then so I don't know what I was thinking it too so maybe [TS]

01:12:08 ◼   ► I wouldn't even know what if i had some problems but at least in recent years [TS]

01:12:11 ◼   ► my address is definitely sink and they sink fast I yeah I don't have problems [TS]

01:12:15 ◼   ► with calendars with contacts I don't have problems thinking any of that stuff [TS]

01:12:20 ◼   ► i don't have problems with iCloud Drive you know it sinks I mean you could you [TS]

01:12:25 ◼   ► could reasonably make the argument should I call dr be more like Dropbox [TS]

01:12:30 ◼   ► and II short time but looking at the service as it is I don't have problems [TS]

01:12:37 ◼   ► with how works and you know when the the problems that we do have like this [TS]

01:12:45 ◼   ► password thing just seem to be so bizarre it is it is it something that's [TS]

01:12:52 ◼   ► you know it can't be unique to to just one person obviously because a lot of [TS]

01:12:57 ◼   ► people have a butt is a unique to set up i don't know you know [TS]

01:13:01 ◼   ► so I you know I think that they're getting there [TS]

01:13:05 ◼   ► I think that's the gist of it I do worry i do worry that one of the reasons and I [TS]

01:13:11 ◼   ► I just don't think it's deniable [TS]

01:13:14 ◼   ► I mean this is the bike when the whole thing that started this new round of [TS]

01:13:18 ◼   ► Apple softwares is not as good as it used to be or not as good as it should [TS]

01:13:22 ◼   ► be however way you want to phrase it started with mossberg solemn and then [TS]

01:13:26 ◼   ► the same day you and I both wrote about it in my take is that that my angle was [TS]

01:13:31 ◼   ► that one thing I think is undeniable is that it is true that the software is not [TS]

01:13:35 ◼   ► as good as the hardware but maybe that's just the way it has to be because the [TS]

01:13:39 ◼   ► hardware is is in some ways simpler and that it's certain aspects of the [TS]

01:13:45 ◼   ► hardware half to be bug free like you can't there's no way that they can do a [TS]

01:13:51 ◼   ► software upgrade of the camera lens okay yeah and so the requirements of that and [TS]

01:13:57 ◼   ► and so the hare said there's another argument this is it is does the ability [TS]

01:14:01 ◼   ► to do software updates make apple way and anybody else who can do them make [TS]

01:14:06 ◼   ► them lazy about shipping quote you know be quality software because they know [TS]

01:14:10 ◼   ► they can make it a quality software over the air or they think they can wear as [TS]

01:14:14 ◼   ► you know is it different than any old days where the software had to be [TS]

01:14:17 ◼   ► printed on a CD or DVD or if you want to go back further floppy disks and if [TS]

01:14:23 ◼   ► there was a bug that bug might never get fixed by the by the consumer because [TS]

01:14:28 ◼   ► software updates were so hard to distribute I get used to be a big big [TS]

01:14:34 ◼   ► deal to ship the gold master of of pieces off [TS]

01:14:37 ◼   ► oh yeah was huge and and not that like an OS update still isn't taken seriously [TS]

01:14:42 ◼   ► or or or you know that there's all sorts of you know rigorous quality-control [TS]

01:14:46 ◼   ► that it goes through but it's not like it used to be when when hard software [TS]

01:14:53 ◼   ► went through an actual you know effectively it be turned into hardware [TS]

01:14:56 ◼   ► when you put it on it on a disc that's right yeah well I and III think that you [TS]

01:15:02 ◼   ► know for a lot of developers they do think i'll release this now and I can [TS]

01:15:09 ◼   ► fix it but I mean we we we know too that there are [TS]

01:15:14 ◼   ► you can't account for every configuration and you know the the mac [TS]

01:15:20 ◼   ► app store i think has done a lot to to help with every app is going to work at [TS]

01:15:26 ◼   ► least you have that feeling you know these are tested we know they're good [TS]

01:15:34 ◼   ► and we put them out there for sale on the mac app store so that helps all [TS]

01:15:38 ◼   ► night and in the appstore helps a lot i think it's great that Apple has the [TS]

01:15:43 ◼   ► review process that they do with all of the stuff i wonder if some of the Apple [TS]

01:15:48 ◼   ► software could construe the review process sometimes well I wouldn't have a [TS]

01:15:53 ◼   ► lot of stuff that doesn't you know it doesn't follow the sandboxing rules [TS]

01:15:57 ◼   ► wouldn't ya [TS]

01:15:59 ◼   ► although a lot about it today I say that but i know that a lot of that most of [TS]

01:16:02 ◼   ► apples you know own first party apps our sandbox so it's it's not entirely but [TS]

01:16:09 ◼   ► they don't you know if they need to they don't mind giving themselves an [TS]

01:16:11 ◼   ► exemption I thought an interesting angle and i get i don't know if i was [TS]

01:16:18 ◼   ► satisfied with the answer from craig but on the issue of is Apple shifting away [TS]

01:16:23 ◼   ► from monolithic feature updates for os's in other words i think for the last few [TS]

01:16:30 ◼   ► years all the major new features of OS 10 and iOS have been announced at WWDC [TS]

01:16:35 ◼   ► and then they all ship it in the fall when the release versions come out and [TS]

01:16:40 ◼   ► every once in a while they'll be one that maybe waits until the next release [TS]

01:16:44 ◼   ► like remember they're a think like two years ago there was a keychain something [TS]

01:16:50 ◼   ► related to the keychain and it wasn't in the initial versions of either OS book [TS]

01:16:54 ◼   ► but it came out like in the November updates and it was something there was [TS]

01:16:58 ◼   ► some kind of bug with a keychain feature but for the most part they're all [TS]

01:17:01 ◼   ► announced at WTC and they all come out in the fall at once and then Apple [TS]

01:17:06 ◼   ► spends the next six months fixing bugs and those os's before they turn their [TS]

01:17:10 ◼   ► attention to next year's os's and are they moving away from that sort of let's [TS]

01:17:15 ◼   ► do all the features at once to a more let's keep working on these features in [TS]

01:17:20 ◼   ► parallel and then when they're ready then we'll ship them like with the [TS]

01:17:25 ◼   ► seemingly imminent iOS 9 . [TS]

01:17:28 ◼   ► three which is now in public beta which has maybe not huge features but some [TS]

01:17:32 ◼   ► significant features yeah the efflux thing with the influx like feature with [TS]

01:17:38 ◼   ► the night shift color palette and maybe the most significant one for a smaller [TS]

01:17:45 ◼   ► number of users but for those who applies to this very City to really [TS]

01:17:48 ◼   ► major update to the OS is the way that for education purposes iPads can have [TS]

01:22:19 ◼   ► how it is and that's why I feel like the more features you're promising for that [TS]

01:22:38 ◼   ► I mean there are new features coming over apple TV that just didn't make it [TS]

01:22:41 ◼   ► right in the in the software [TS]

01:23:03 ◼   ► releasing software that's missing features and Apple never says it can do [TS]

01:23:11 ◼   ► this in a can two releasing software that apple says it'll do this and it [TS]

01:23:19 ◼   ► doesn't right yeah I definitely think so anyway here's an example so maybe this [TS]

01:23:25 ◼   ► is the way that I if I could Bend Phil Schiller and Tim Cook's year and Craig's [TS]

01:23:31 ◼   ► ear on on this take a look at it compared it to the release of photos [TS]

01:24:04 ◼   ► of whether you want the full version on any particular device it all worked [TS]

01:30:28 ◼   ► right and I i tend to think that it was the release was was based on a date not [TS]

01:30:37 ◼   ► on the quality of the software because what we see now with the quality of the [TS]

01:30:41 ◼   ► software i would have been extremely happy with what specific things do you [TS]

01:30:46 ◼   ► think are better now then then then in the past year because you've been I mean [TS]

01:31:39 ◼   ► I don't have time in my day to look for bugs [TS]

01:31:43 ◼   ► I can't really don't so iíve told apple that no reason that I'm able to find [TS]

01:31:51 ◼   ► these bugs is because i use it so much [TS]

01:31:54 ◼   ► that's it that's the the only reason that I can I I find them when I find [TS]

01:31:59 ◼   ► them i tell them about you know here's what it's funny I know it's gotta be the [TS]

01:32:05 ◼   ► same for you but it always amuses me when like two emails in a row or maybe [TS]

01:32:09 ◼   ► two tweets in a row just back-to-back and it's the fact that their [TS]

01:32:12 ◼   ► back-to-back that makes it so amusing where there's one accusing you being an [TS]

01:32:15 ◼   ► apples pocket [TS]

01:32:16 ◼   ► yeah well one accusing you of unfairly criticizing apple just looking for [TS]

01:32:22 ◼   ► things to take over the exact same thing that you wrote [TS]

01:32:25 ◼   ► yeah well yeah it's true it's true it happens and I [TS]

01:32:29 ◼   ► what I'm not even sure that that Apple recognizes this but the reason that I'm [TS]

01:32:35 ◼   ► so upset or I was so upset about Apple music is because I care about it so much [TS]

01:32:42 ◼   ► well and it also seemed like some of your initial problems were were data [TS]

01:32:46 ◼   ► loss which is sort of the Cardinal you know like there's all sorts of things [TS]

01:32:48 ◼   ► that are forgivable in bugs and data loss is like high up on the list of ones [TS]

01:32:54 ◼   ► that are unforgivable well you are designed systems ideally such that data [TS]

01:32:59 ◼   ► never gets lost an end to be to be fair and open on to apple here the data loss [TS]

01:33:06 ◼   ► came from a misunderstanding of what I new itunes match to do so apparently i [TS]

01:33:16 ◼   ► deleted the song some of my own songs and not knowing that the way that iTunes [TS]

01:33:24 ◼   ► Match work had changed so the songs weren't there but they were there and [TS]

01:33:32 ◼   ► then some of the other ones i deleted but I i just i don't think that the way [TS]

01:33:40 ◼   ► that they implemented itunes matches the service in Apple music was a a good [TS]

01:33:48 ◼   ► thing to do because they before you could turn you could see with itunes [TS]

01:33:53 ◼   ► match you can see your purchase music and your your your uploaded music and [TS]

01:33:58 ◼   ► you're matched music so i could turn off apple music and and or I could you know [TS]

01:34:05 ◼   ► use itunes match on all my devices and basically see all my music but when they [TS]

01:34:10 ◼   ► implemented Apple music they made itunes match part of my club music library so [TS]

01:34:14 ◼   ► if i wanted to get rid of iCloud music library and just see my itunes match [TS]

01:34:19 ◼   ► there was no way to do that but i didn't know that you know so that and it gets [TS]

01:34:26 ◼   ► to my complaint with it is that in some ways I think what makes me in this too [TS]

01:34:30 ◼   ► critical software is that on kind of an idiot and I really have cognitive [TS]

01:34:36 ◼   ► problems with complex software i really i really think i do i just need it to be [TS]

01:34:41 ◼   ► obviously not necessarily simple but i need it to be obvious and I really feel [TS]

01:34:46 ◼   ► like I could try to get their last week with with federighi and Q but that i [TS]

01:34:53 ◼   ► really like what they did with photos for mac and it and as I say this knowing [TS]

01:34:57 ◼   ► that i know that there are people out there who really missed some folks [TS]

01:35:00 ◼   ► features from iphoto that aren't in photos for mac but i really like it [TS]

01:35:05 ◼   ► because I really when I open photos from Mac it's not that there aren't other [TS]

01:35:09 ◼   ► features i wish that they would add back and it's not like I feel like especially [TS]

01:35:13 ◼   ► in terms of editing images I really and I you know I just feel like it's coming [TS]

01:35:18 ◼   ► and it this is how it's going to evolve in the years to come but i really like [TS]

01:35:21 ◼   ► that I open it up and I understand where everything is and in a way that if they [TS]

01:35:27 ◼   ► had tried to glom it into iphoto I don't know it would have worked [TS]

01:35:31 ◼   ► whereas with I itunes I just really feel like by continuing to build on the same [TS]

01:35:38 ◼   ► foundation that was the original itunes from a decade ago they've wound up with [TS]

01:35:43 ◼   ► something that's just confusing and itunes match is a perfect example of [TS]

01:35:47 ◼   ► that where I understand when they first came out with itunes match i understood [TS]

01:35:50 ◼   ► what was meant to do and it sound appealing and i paid $MONEY for it and i [TS]

01:35:53 ◼   ► stoled I guess I still do pay for it but now that they have apple music I just [TS]

01:35:57 ◼   ► feel like it's too much [TS]

01:35:58 ◼   ► I feel like there should be just like two things [TS]

01:36:02 ◼   ► here's your music which you have copies of right here on your on your computer [TS]

01:36:07 ◼   ► and you can sync them to your other devices if you want and then if you want [TS]

01:36:12 ◼   ► to pay us to have access to you know music I got as on a subscription basis [TS]

01:36:18 ◼   ► that's Apple music I kind of feel like iTunes Match should just go away we'll [TS]

01:36:23 ◼   ► see I i really liked itunes match because then I could have one copy of my [TS]

01:36:29 ◼   ► music on on my computer and then I could just use itunes match and not take up [TS]

01:36:35 ◼   ► space on my device you know my iphone or my iPad I could just use itunes match [TS]

01:36:41 ◼   ► and get a whole quiet library but when they when they change that [TS]

01:36:46 ◼   ► m and rolled it into my club music library i'm basically paying for a [TS]

01:36:51 ◼   ► service that it doesn't do what [TS]

01:36:53 ◼   ► did you know in my mind they kind of took away a feature but are still [TS]

01:36:59 ◼   ► charging me for that feature you know so but if i look at an apple music today [TS]

01:37:08 ◼   ► right now I was using it this morning before we we did this and if i look at [TS]

01:37:15 ◼   ► the app and the service it's something that i would recommend I i think it's [TS]

01:37:22 ◼   ► it's great and i use it i use the radio more now than what i've ever used radio [TS]

01:37:28 ◼   ► before I mean I was a big fan of Pandora because I think pandora had the best [TS]

01:37:33 ◼   ► algorithmic radio of service out there better than Spotify better than apples [TS]

01:37:39 ◼   ► better than everybody but apples is getting really really good [TS]

01:37:44 ◼   ► so the way that i use radio is all pick a song and guns and roses so pick sweet [TS]

01:37:51 ◼   ► child of mine are welcome to the jungle [TS]

01:38:02 ◼   ► yeah [TS]

01:38:06 ◼   ► and i'll say make a station based on this song and what i expect here from [TS]

01:38:12 ◼   ► that station is basically hit after hit after it [TS]
