Computer Science | Grinnell College

We'll be discussing the controversy behind the FBI's court order to Apple for assistance in recovering data from the phone of the San Bernadino gunmen. Below are some readings for this week. Reading packets are also outside of Sam/Charlie's office on the 3rd floor of Science.

• Apple's "Message to Our Customers"
• A description of what the court order asks for
• Technical details behind the request
• Apple's formal legal response to vacate the request
• You are encouraged to bring other relevant bits of information to the discussion table.
• I will also add in one additional reading for your consideration, an open letter to the White House by a number of industrial and academic leaders earlier last year about the issues raised by this incident.

Computer science table (CS Table) is a weekly meeting of Grinnell College community members (students, faculty, staff, etc.) interested in discussing topics related to computing and computer science. CS Table meets Tuesdays from 12:00-12:45 in JRC 224C. Students on meal plans, faculty, and staff are expected to cover the cost of their meals. Visitors to the College and students not on meal plans can charge their meals to the department.

On Thursday, April 17, Charlie Eddy 2016 will present a talk describing his recent work in reality augmentation using the Kindle and the iPhone.

Refreshments will be served at 4:15 p.m. in the Computer Science Commons (Noyce 3817). The presentation will follow at 4:30 p.m. in Noyce 3821. Everyone is welcome to attend!
