"GovtOS". That's what Apple Inc calls the newest product in its pipeline. It's not the brainchild of the gadget masters in Cupertino but rather an iPhone operating system conceived by some buttoned-down folks in Washington, DC. And unlike the latest iPhone or iPad, it wasn't revealed on a stage before thousands of the faithful. Instead, it was unveiled in a stark response to the Obama administration's attempt to force the computer maker to assist in a terrorism probe. And, Apple has warned, it may someday lead to every American being made an unwilling assistant to law enforcement.In a 65-page federal court filing on Thursday in Riverside, California, Apple said making it override the encryption of an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooterswas wild overreach.

A search for a moral high ground in a heated debate

What does it mean to be a good corporate citizen?That's one of the questions being tested as Apple and the federal government battle over whether Apple should help the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) unlock an iPhone to gain access to encrypted data that officials say is necessary for their investigation of the San Bernardino, California, shootings that killed 14 people.Apple initially assisted the FBI, but is now fighting a government subpoena directing it to create a new piece of software to open the phone, contending that its position is meant to protect the privacy of its customers.Aside from the thicket of legal issues raised by the case, does Apple have a moral obligation to help the government learn more about the attack? Or does it have a moral obligation to protect its customers' privacy? Or how about its shareholders?
