Microsoft has officially announced the closure of its Project Astoria software tool that was originally announced last year. The tool was originally introduced by the software giant as a way for developers to port existing Android apps to the new Windows 10 platform by utilizing the same codebase of the existing apps. Astoria would essentially do some intelligence behind the scenes to bridge the gap between the two platforms, resulting in an enhanced Windows 10 experience. The immediate closure of the project represents a fairly significant setback in the company's efforts to bolster the app offering on Windows 10 Mobile.

It is being reported that Apple is working extremely hard internally on building an iPhone that nobody can hack into. Attention has recently been lavished onto Apple in the wake of the San Bernardino shooting in California, with law enforcement agencies applying pressure on the company to create a new version of iOS that introduces a backdoor to bypass security. This latest report suggests that Apple is responding to the security storm by trying to build an even more secure device and ecosystem that would make it impossible to break into iPhones, even for Apple. In other words, this would effectively make FBI's current requests useless.
In an interview conducted today by ABC’s David Muir, Apple CEO Tim Cook explained his and Apple's stance in their ongoing fight with the FBI where the company is asked to create backdoor access to iPhone for the law enforcement agencies. You can watch the full interview here.

The ongoing battle between Apple and the FBI has taken a rather interesting turn, with Apple apparently looking to get Congress involved in the dispute. Apple has been provided with a legal order from the federal circuit in the United States that tells the company to work with law enforcement agencies in an effort to unlock and leverage data from an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters. Apple has thus far contested the order due to the nature of the FBI demands, which essentially want a new version of iOS to be created to provide a backdoor into the mobile platform. Now, it is being reported that Apple would like the Congress to get involved in the matter and settle the dispute.
