Peter Okoye apologies for Twitter outburst

PSquares’ Peter Okoye apologies for Twitter outburst

   

Peter Okoye has apologised for his Twitter outburst and decision to fire his brother Jude as PSquare’s manager, barely 24 hours after he insisted he won’t regret his action.

“I am not perfect, I make mistakes, and it hurts people. But when I say sorry I mean it. I am so SORRY for my actions. I sincerely apologise,” he twitted today.

In a series of tweets from late Tuesday through Wednesday, the music star had criticised PSquare’s management for lacking the structure to manage the group. He had also insisted that the group had no contract with his brother, Jude, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Northside Entertainment, warning people against doing any PSquare-related business with the firm.  

Despite the plea of fans that the family feud which led to the outburst should be resolved internally, Peter refused to back down, instead coming up with further allegations against Jude.

He also gave the impression that he was fighting for his twin brother and other half of PSquare, Paul, who was silent about the outburst.

Peter added that but for Paul, he would have fired Jude since 2013.

Among several allegations, Peter had accused Jude of frustrating his effort to sign Cynthia Morgan to PClassic Records, a label he set up three years ago; only for Jude to sign Morgan.

It is unclear whether Peter’s apology will be enough to paper over the widening crack’s in the group’s core.

WOZ SAYS YOU CAN'T TRUST GOVERNMENT DENIES......

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.

Steve Wozniak. Forthright as always.

Bloomberg screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET

Yes, but what does Steve Wozniak think?

Ever since Apple CEO Tim Cookannounced that the company would fighta court order to hack the iPhone 5C linked to last year's massacre in San Bernardino, California, many in the tech world have kept silent.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai was one of the few to offer comments, albeit guarded.

Steve Wozniak isn't known for his guardedness. So when he gave an interview to CNBC on Thursday, he was extremely open about how he felt.

The Apple co-founder forcefully declared he was against any backdoors in phones.

"I believe that Apple's brand recognition and value and profits is largely based on an item called trust," he said. "Trust means you believe somebody. You believe you're buying a phone with encryption."

He expanded upon his views about trust.

"You can't trust who is in power," he said. "It's like believing the authority and police wherever they go. Generally, when they write the rules, they're right when they're wrong."

In essence, Woz doesn't seem convinced that the authorities are telling the whole story.

"Terrorism is just a phony word being used," he said when asked whether exceptions should be made for acts of terrorism. "The case involved actually with Apple right now had to be with -- I believe it was a shooting or a murder or something. It wasn't terrorism. You know what is terrorism? It's just a deeper crime."

He added that "the word 'terrorist' has been used way too often to scare people."

MORE TECHNICALLY INCORRECT

Google CEO offers some support for Apple in encryption battleSamsung gets a llama to unbox the new Galaxy S7Donald Trump on Apple: 'Who do they think they are?'

At heart, though, like Cook, he fears creep. If Apple performs this hack once, then it can be not only done again but also obtained by other, possibly unfriendly nations.

"I'm talking about the general case that goes much deeper than this case. And that is the FBI wants a permanent backdoor built in. And I just think that's wrong," he said.

In buying a phone, he said he didn't want "companies playing tricks behind me in the background. Even Google marketing to me is something Apple doesn't do."

However, when asked whether he thought Apple would capitulate to the courts, he was not optimistic.

"My hunch is yes," he admitted. "But I don't know. I don't know. I mean, if I were there I might fight it quite vigilantly."

Yes, I think he might.

Tim Cook hits back at 'chilling' order for iPhone 'backdoor'

Apple's CEO won't comply with an order to crack open the iPhone to help with the investigation of the San Bernardino terror attack. The FBI calls it a matter of national security, but Apple says it will derail privacy.

CNETSecurityTim Cook hits back at 'chilling' order for iPhone 'backdoor'

"It would be wrong for the government to force us to build a backdoor into our products," Apple CEO Tim Cook says.

CNET

Apple CEO Tim Cook denounced a federal judge's order to crack open an iPhone used by a terrorist, calling the situation "chilling" and saying it would deal a major setback to online privacy for all.

To hack the phone, the FBI wants Apple to build a new version of its iOS software that Cook claims bypasses the iPhone's security features and creates "the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone's physical possession."

"The US government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create," Cook wrote in an open letter posted on Apple's website. "They have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone."

On Tuesday, a judge ordered Apple to assist the FBI in unlocking an iPhonelinked to December's terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California. Cook warned that such a version of iOS would create, for the first time, a backdoor into all of Apple's encrypted devices and would "undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect."

Cook is willing to challenge the government all the way to the Supreme Court, according to CBS News, citing unnamed sources. Apple may appeal the judge's ruling as early as next Tuesday, although the timing could slide another week, CBS News has learned. (CBS is the parent company of CNET.) Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Encryption is a huge source of tension between tech companies and law enforcement. Companies including Apple, Google and WhatsApp protect the privacy of their customers by encrypting data, often in a way that even the companies themselves cannot unscramble. Although that lets unscrupulous users such as criminals or terrorists communicate without government surveillance, tech companies justify such security measures by insisting that it's impossible to allow law enforcement to crack encryption without opening the door for criminals to do the same.

SECURITY, PRIVACY AND ENCRYPTION

The FBI's plan would bypass security functions that limit how many times you can enter an incorrect password. Currently, an iPhone wipes itself if the wrong password is entered 10 times in a row. With that feature disabled, investigators could enter password after password until they hit on the correct one.

The FBI is trying to access an iPhone 5C used by one of the perpetrators of the December 2015 terrorist attack in San Bernardino that left 14 people dead and 22 injured. Cook says Apple engineers have been working with the FBI since the attack and have "offered our best ideas on a number of investigative options at their disposal."

But now the US wants Apple to create software -- what Cook calls a new version of the iOS mobile software that powers the iPhone -- that would disable the auto-erase feature. While the order specifies the software should be coded to the specific iPhone in question, Cook doesn't see it stopping there.

"Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices," he said. Cook described such software as "the equivalent of a master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks."

James Martin/CNET

If Apple is forced to circumvent its own security, this would mark a watershed moment in the ongoing negotiation among government, the private sector and consumers on the subject of security, privacy and surveillance.

"The question is whether companies should be compelled to design their technology for future investigations so that evidence is available, and that's what Apple and other companies have been resisting," Marc Rotenberg, a privacy advocate who leads the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said Wednesday in an interview with NPR.

"The national security concerns are real," Rotenberg said. "The question is, how best to address them...if by addressing the national security concerns, you make US Internet users and iPhone customers more vulnerable to criminal attack or to national security vulnerabilities, you actually haven't solved the problem. You've created a new problem and this is the reason that so many technology experts and privacy experts have said to the government: 'We're not unsympathetic to the concern, but we actually believe that if you weaken communications technology, you leave US Internet users more exposed.'"

National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden tweeted that the face-off between Apple and the FBI is the "most important tech case in a decade." He also suggested that Google, maker of the Android software that runs many of the world's phones, should stand up to the government.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai threw his support behind Apple on Wednesday, saying law enforcement demands for a backdoor to customer devices "could compromise users' privacy."

"We know that law enforcement and intelligence agencies face significant challenges in protecting the public against crime and terrorism," Pichai wrote in a series of tweets. "We build secure products to keep your information safe and we give law enforcement access to data based on valid legal orders. But that's wholly different than requiring companies to enable hacking of customer devices & data. Could be a troubling precedent."

As for Cook, he described the use of the All Writs Act of 1789 to call for these measures as an "overreach" by the US government even as he said Apple has "no sympathy for terrorists."

The activist known as "Starchild" holds a "Thank you Apple" sign at a rally outside an Apple store in downtown San Francisco.

Terry Collins/CNET

"We are challenging the FBI's demands with the deepest respect for American democracy and a love of our country," Cook concluded. "While we believe the FBI's intentions are good, it would be wrong for the government to force us to build a backdoor into our products. And ultimately, we fear that this demand would undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect."

Meanwhile, more than 30 people from two digital rights nonprofits held a 20-minute rally Wednesday outside an Apple store in downtown San Francisco supporting Cook's position. Many stood holding their smartphones up, some with a sticker on them saying: "I do not consent to the search of this device." They also posted several notes on a store window that read: "Thank you, Tim for protecting our digital rights," and "Thank you for fighting for our freedom and our rights against the U.S. Government!!"

Cindy Cohn, executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said while the San Bernardino shootings may pull on people's sympathies, the rights to privacy is critically important.

"We deserve to have a secure online experience," she said. "We're certainly are not going to give that up. What the FBI is insisting is counterproductive and it will make us all less safe."

The court order and the possibility of Apple creating a "golden key" for a backdoor is "terrifying," said Charlie Furman, campaign manager for Fight for the Future. He said that the software giant and the government will not be the only ones seeking to gain access.

"The result here is not so much a question if this golden key will wind up in the wrong hands, but when and when it does, how much damage will be done?" he said. "That's not a precedent we're willing to risk."
