This Just In

For all you fans of cloud computing and Apple products: iCloud just got royally hacked, and the hacker is posting many, many nude photos of various celebrities whose intimate photos had been stored there. I've always been skeptical of cloud computing because of the security that users must cede to their service providers. I've also thought the alleged security of Apple devices has been grossly overstated for years. It's poor form to use an event like this to say "I told you so", but this situation is obviously awful, and should have been prevented both by the celebrities themselves, and by Apple's security folks.
