Re: Apple addressing security concerns.
And oops, it's not 6^^6 its 10 ^^ 6 or 10 * 10 * 10 ... * 10 = 1,000,000 password combinations for brute force.
The non-expert that I am didn't do my math correctly, for shame. If you assume nobody starts with a 0 it can be done a wee bit faster hah. The true experts have rules they use that "most" people use and it takes about a third of the attempts and if they know a little bit about you, well, it's pretty easy but suffice it to say it's still more then 10 tries so the FBI would like a bit of help from Apple.
