  Time may stand still

  on Federal Prosecutors Use All Writs Order To Compel Suspect To Unlock Phone With His Fingerprint
  What mechanism is Apple using to count 48 hours? If it's purely clock based, I imagine a stingray device could continually feed the wrong time to the phone until such time the fingerprint is provided.

  on DOJ Tells Ron Wyden, ACLU, Court That It's Under No Legal Obligation To Reveal Contents Of Secret Legal Memo
  So, the DOJ found an exploit (legal loophole) and don't want to reveal it for fear that it may be patched (fixed by legislation)? Jesus Fucking Christ what bullshit.

  What about CableCARDs?

  on Walking Dead Producer Claims Real Cable Set Top Box Competition Will Result In Piracy Armageddon
  Don't CableCARDs already enable this? I've been using CableCARDs in my Tivo for about 10 years now. I also had one in my TV for a short time. The only thing I couldn't get at first was PPV, but who cares about that in this age of on-demand rentals from Amazon and Apple. Now there's a solution for TiVo, but I haven't bothered.
