Microsoft founder Bill Gates is backing the FBI in its battle with Apple over hacking into a locked iPhone as part of the investigation into last December's San Bernardino terror attack. Gates said in an interview published Tuesday in the Financial Times that a court order requiring Apple to help the FBI access a work phone belonging to gunman Syed Farook was "a specific case where the government is asking for access to information. They are not asking for some general thing, they are asking for a particular case."
