Don't know yet - I'm still trying to decode "86431 baths (2008 estimate)"...

You can't just go ahead and bath a guinea pig. You need to perform some tests on the heat of the water...using some Guniea pigs.

It does rather better if you put a hyphen in 'Guinea-pig' (although the first thing it does is to remove it, go figure!) but I can't help feeling that this is a classic GIGO, especially given that it makes no claim to be AI anyway. It is rather a computer in the most literal sense of the word. Perhaps it should simply say ....[^]

It seems that the main thing is that you use enough liquid.
You should probably go for the cheapest liquid you can find on short notice. You need 2540 m^3 of it if you do it today, and the trend seems to be increasing rapidly.
Water is probably OK, hydrofluoric acid will probably strain your budget; anyway, with that amount, the actual cleaning effectiveness of the liquid used (or the bathing technique, for that matter) should not matter in the least.
Remember that it is important to properly clean your guinea pig between experiments, otherwise your results will not be scientifically valid.

The cynical irony of it is that Apple's iCrap is constantly grabbing personal information about the poor users they care so much about. Suddenly they're concerned?
Now - if this can be done in a one-off manner, I would definitely side with the FBI. Whilst Apple's argument that the phone's security would be compromised, forever, soon after, should they cooperate, they know full well that's it's already being worked on (very possibly already succeeded) all over the world. Good hackers never tell.
So - back to the point: should they relent? Again, if I recall correctly, the ten-try limit, which is what really makes the security, was an anti-theft, making a stolen iPhone worthless to the thief. If that's what they're really protecting - then I side with the FBI.
The question, however, is one I struggled with: should I take a part in delaying the inevitable? The matter, the ability to enrich uranium with a CO2 laser had serious implications (to say the least). It worked on a table-top in. I, however, found the equivalent, morally, of that hacker to release my conscience.

No, more like ordinary business.
The FBI would want it's own backdoor, and Cook simply takes the chance to get some good PR from it.
There will not have been a drastic change in how they view the user at Apple; backdoors have been added for the NSA without the user knowing, so regardless of what the man says - we know it may be very different from what he does.

“Apple’s current refusal to comply with the court’s orders, despite the technical feasibility of doing so, instead appears to be based on its concern for its business model and public brand marketing strategy,” the Justice Department's motion alleges. ..and as the article states, the phone has been opened often enough before - the sudden change of heart is not convincing.

I think it is worth perusing this[^] - if you can get past the picture of the Messiah without puking, that is.
As this would appear to be the FBI communication in question, I can see no reason whatsoever why Apple should not comply.

Interesting...
If Apple complies a legal precedent is set and US law enforcement will use it, use it often and eventually abuse it.
If Apple complies for the FBI they will have no legal standing to deny also providing it to any country where they do business (ie. Russia, China, etc...). These "other" countries will certainly abuse it.
If Apple complies it won't be long before the tool is "leaked" into the wild and every law abiding iPhone user's privacy will be gone.
I'd call them 3 very significant reasons.
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

Arriving well before everyone else that works here, I can crank up my desktop Altec-Lansing's and play what I will.
A part of what has become somewhat of a ritual is playing, in sequence:
TRUCKIN'
CASEY JONES
UNCLE JOHN'S BAND
By the time they're through with me, over fourteen minutes later, I cannot help but feel - well - just a little bit drugged. There are even days when I follow this with some really sweet blues.
As an aside, some of you should take note that I start out the day feeling extraordinarily pleasant - the grumpy is done to me.
