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...

Yes, Apple handed information out plenty of times. This isn't new, we all know it, you are not revealing a secret. Apple isn't get good publicity, if anything, this is the perfect opportunity for the FBI to get the public behind them and they know it very well. Using fear to restrict freedom is the oldest trick in the book. I guess Google, and many others, are also making themselves "look good".  Come on dude, the fight concerns everyone and everyone is free to choose a side. But let's not restrict the discussion to Apple is/isn't pro-consumer. For starters, let me know where you stand on the issue.
