This week, Dave and Gunnar talk about FBI Whining (aka “Clipper II”), Malvertising, Richard Branson’s alarming new PTO policy.



Lauren: “R.I.P. to Ginners, the inspiration for this game. She had a long life and we loved her a lot, and got a lot of love in return.”

Apple, Google default cell-phone encryption “concerns” FBI director

“Apple will become the phone of choice for the pedophile,” said John J. Escalante, chief of detectives for Chicago’s police department. “The average pedophile at this point is probably thinking, I’ve got to get an Apple phone.”
The level of privacy described by Apple and Google is “wonderful until it’s your kid who is kidnapped and being abused, and because of the technology, we can’t get to them,” said Ronald Hosko, who left the FBI earlier this year as the head of its criminal-investigations division. “Who’s going to get lost because of this, and we’re not going to crack the case?”
Eric Holder says: “When a child is in danger, law enforcement needs to be able to take every legally available step to quickly find and protect the child and to stop those that abuse children. It is worrisome to see companies thwarting our ability to do so.”
