Despite walking away from a high-profile confrontation, the FBI is not giving up on its cat-and-mouse game with Apple over access to iPhone data, and the issue has now moved to New York.

On Friday, the Feds appealed a decision last month by a Brooklyn magistrate, James Orenstein, to reject their demand that Apple help them gain access to an iPhone used by a drug dealer. The appeal notes:

"The government's application is not moot, and the government continues to require Apple's assistance in accessing the data that it is authorized to search by warrant."

Is there any wonder that I don't own a cell phone?

Is there any wonder that I don't own a cell phone?

I have not had one for nearly six years (and do not miss it) and it really gets on my nerves that so many sites ask for a cell phone number for "security" and, while you can skip that, there is usually no way to to say "I do not own one!" So it keeps asking every time you visit.
