Without knowing how they got into his phone, this is a non-story that is just a retelling of older stories. For all we know they just took his dead finger and put it on the reader. Or maybe he used the same 4-digit PIN for his debit card or lock box or something else that they were able to recover. Maybe some detective just just randomly entered the shooter's birthday, only to say "Hey sarge, you're never gonna believe this... first try!"
There's nothing useful that can be taken away from this story yet, until more details come out.
Exactly. The article doesn't shy away from a bit of free publicity for Cellerite. Which is nowhere near as much of a magic bullet as the "tech media" makes it out to be.
How do I know it? By doing the most basic of research by heading to their website and looking at their manuals and documentation.
And Cellerite won't tell you this publicly because their bottom line depends on their ability to massively overprice their services which they sell to technically illiterate people.
Any article that mentions Cellerite without a caveat about the dubiousness of their publicity can be disregarded and shouldn't be taken seriously.
