Until the device can say "stupid humans", it won't really reflect dogs.

Thank you for advertising that you are high-maintenance, Rachel:

Rachel Canning, 18, won't get $650 weekly child support or payment of her private high school tuition from estranged parents Sean and Elizabeth Canning, a judge decided Tuesday. Canning claims that her father was "inappropriately affectionate" and forced his daughter to binge drink with him. His mother, meanwhile, repeatedly called her "fat" and "porky," which caused Canning to develop bulimia. But a second hearing on the suit is scheduled for next month, and the Morris Catholic High School senior could still force her parents to pay up her impending college costs.

150 lb. weight loss surgery -- takes a lot of balls to go through this

In the end, the grueling surgery, which featured three surgical teams, removed an 80-pound scrotal growth from Burlington’s Dan Maurer and another 40 pounds of fat from the stomach area.

“By the time he leaves the hospital, I’m guessing he’ll weigh 150 pounds less than when he went in,” said Connie, who flew out to California the day after Dan and his wife, Melita, arrived Aug. 25. Both have rarely left his side since.

If I had 51 live reptiles, the first thing I'd think to do with them is stuff them down my pants! Yessir...

The Detroit Zoo is now caring for more than 1,000 turtles seized during an investigation of a man busted at the Detroit-Windsor tunnel with 51 live reptiles in his pants.

John McAfee enters the FBI vs. Apple battle:

http://www.businessinsider.com/john-...or-free-2016-2

With all due respect to Tim Cook and Apple, I work with a team of the best hackers on the planet. These hackers attend Defcon in Las Vegas, and they are legends in their local hacking groups, such as HackMiami. They are all prodigies, with talents that defy normal human comprehension. About 75% are social engineers. The remainder are hardcore coders. I would eat my shoe on the Neil Cavuto show if we could not break the encryption on the San Bernardino phone. This is a pure and simple fact.

And why do the best hackers on the planet not work for the FBI? Because the FBI will not hire anyone with a 24-inch purple mohawk, 10-gauge ear piercings, and a tattooed face who demands to smoke weed while working and won't work for less than a half-million dollars a year. But you bet your ass that the Chinese and Russians are hiring similar people with similar demands and have been for many years. It's why we are decades behind in the cyber race.

I don't think Apple should give the Gov't the code. The Gov't should give the phone to Apple and let them do their thing and give back to the Gov't.

Apple doesn't have a specific way to break in that anyone is aware of.
They probably could if with a lot of time/research, because it's a relatively old phone with known bugs.
The court order is for Apple to spend a lot of resources to create a specific way to break in.
