There was a source which said Apple has done this over 70 times, though I've seemed to have lost it. This is just a big case, as to make themselves look good. If the press wasn't watching this like a microscope, they'd be giving it over with ease.

You haven't even read the article you linked. The FBI wants them to create a version of the operating system they can then load onto the phone so they can try hacking the passcode without the phone erasing itself. The FBI wants this software themselves, it is in the article you linked. 

And you think Apple is getting good publicity out of this? Really? Really?

Didn't you read the article? Apple has handed information out plenty of times. And yes, they do get "good publicity". Its in their best interest to look good...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
