unless i'm missing something, the idea is to hand over all of your personal information to two college kids with internet access?

are you an NSA agent?

i'm shocked by the comments here.

it was a massive and anticipated security flaw. the CEO's reaction was not to fix it, not to apologize, but to arrogantly lie about the severity of the threat.

less than a week after the CEO deemed the attack theoretical, it happened. the CEO's reaction was not to fix it, not to apologize, but to offer an opt-out after the damage had been done.

not sure why snapchat is getting a free pass on this, but it's horrifying.

"increasing airport security just leads terrorists to direct their assaults elsewhere"

so in other words, heightened airport security has worked.

a textbook examples of the dreaded "bro-grammer"

yeah, i was looking for his take on this. if it's anything like The Verge's account, it's a dealbreaker.

yes. Google Cloud Print: http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/

looks like they're fearing slow/low iOS7 adoption, considering how boldly they emphasize how few legacy iOS users are out there.

"I object to a huge, creepy advertising company having that much access to me and my data, I think it’s unwise to use many proprietary, hard-to-replace services in such important roles, and I think it’s downright foolish to tie that much of your data and functionality into proprietary services run by one company in one account that sometimes gets disabled permanently with no warning, no recourse, and no support."

that's one horrific run-on sentence. it's both grammatically flawed and descriptive solely of the platform the author is attempting to defend.

i can no longer tell if this guy's serious or just trolling.

this is basically what iCloud was supposed to be.

agreed.

i think the most important takeaway here is that the reactionary press release "Apple’s Commitment to Customer Privacy" was very carefully worded to give the customer a sense of security. it's definitely not telling the full story, but it serves its purpose of reassuring a concerned user base.

yes, because only google does this.

in other words, it's disposable.

at least they aren't gouging you with proprietary screwdrivers.

the propeller one made me lol. ripped off a design without any attempt of fitting the design to the brand.

i feel like HP is missing the point of chromebooks.

the whole point here is that they are optimizing for the vast majority. unfortunately you, with your part-time 800px tablet, are part of the 2%.

their focus on such an overwhelming majority of users makes a ton of sense from a business perspective.

(sidenote: does anyone with a VEEEERY WIIIIDE monitor maximize windows?)
