          Bill Gates Sides Against Apple in FBI iPhone-unlocking Case

   by Associated Press

   Bill Gates is siding against Apple -- and many other technology
   companies -- in saying the firm should help the U.S. government to hack
   into a locked iPhone as part of an investigation into the San
   Bernardino shooting.

   Apple has resisted providing a piece of programming that would help the
   FBI access the phone. Apple argues that governments, both in the U.S.
   and overseas, are likely to use the program in other cases, undermining
   data privacy.

   In an interview Tuesday with the Financial Times, Microsoft founder
   Gates says "this is a specific case where the government is asking for
   access to information.'' He likened it to the police getting records
   from a phone company.

   The heads of many tech companies like Facebook, Twitter and Google have
   sided with Apple.
