  • Apple patents tech to let cops switch off iPhone video, camera and wi-fi

    Posted on by Azrael Comment

    Apple insists that the affected sites are mostly cinemas, theatres, concert grounds and similar locations, but it does admit that it could be used in “covert police or government operations which may require complete ‘blackout’ conditions”.

    According to RT it could also be used to prevent whistleblowers like Edward Snowden from taking pictures and broadcasting them on the interent.

    Apple said that the wireless transmission of sensitive information to a remote source is one example of a threat to security.

    But it said that this sensitive information could be anything from classified government information to questions or answers to an examination administered in an academic setting.

    Apple patented the means to transmit an encoded signal to all wireless devices, commanding them to disable recording functions.

  • ERIC HOLDER DEMANDS GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION OF APPLE’S ITUNES & APP STORES

    Posted on by Azrael Comment

    Attorney General Eric Holder has asked a federal judge to give his Department of Justice (DOJ) supervision of the Apple App Store and iTunes.

    The DOJ’s demand is a disgusting attempted government power-grab into private business.

    Holder’s request follows a decision by Denise Cote, a New York Federal District Judge. Cote ruled that Apple violates the US Anti-Trust Laws, which are designed to prevent monopolies and fixed prices.

    Apple plans to fight the federal ruling tooth and nail, and will almost certainly appeal.

    The mega company currently gets 30 percent commission for any e-books sold on an Apple Store App. According to the Wall Street Journal, the DOJ is pushing for Amazon.com to be able to sell e-books on Apple Apps without the 30 percent commission.

    Apple objects to government attempting to control the marketplace.
