> The airline is expected to bolster its cybersecurity expertise when it names a replacement for outgoing director Todd Sampson, who is set to leave the company at the end of this month.
Weird. Why would they have been delaying a cybersecurity upgrade until after a board member has left? Was Todd preventing/holding up the implementation?

Yes, this is how most Wordpress malware works - they inject/publish ad or keyword spam content on the site if the user agent is googlebot. Regular users don't get the ads. It's partially why most people never realise their site has been hacked.

Apple's iCloud servers for Chinese users are located in China, run by a Chinese tech service provider and provides them with the keys - as stipulated by the Chinese government. Of course the government has access to the data.

Tumblr lost 65 million accounts "recently" too - maybe they're just reusing their "we've been hacked" account?

For many of us, we just can't help it - it's an innate part of us - to build something.

Surely this whole mess can be fixed with a 5 minute UI change - reword the copy and add a checkbox to do/don't take a snapshot (default to checked (take a snapshot)).

An article was published today on this very topic: http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/to-catch... which refers to a report done by Melb Uni. Not sure how they came up with the data though.
Personally however, I put a huge amount of stock in a site's design (Reddit excluded).

If you're just doing freelance work, I find direct deposit works best. Many clients don't use credit card for large amounts because of fees, which you'll also incur for most online payment systems

By "similar service", do you mean direct competition? If so, I'd stick with what you're doing (esp if it's paying some bills) - it's obviously got traction. And you can't beat being your own boss.
