"I specifically checked to see if 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution' was delisted.

While the game was upgraded to the 'Director's Cut,' the original version (without the Director's Cut content) is no longer available."

There are more post on social media about the breach now. There was no interaction with Amazon.com at all, I tried to login Amazon.com minutes after receiving these two emails. The result shows the account does not exist on Amazon.com anymore. Again, didn't click any link, it just happened.

>This often works wonders as people re-use the same password elsewhere. Was your password unique to your Amazon account?

I really doubt it. The way password managed and password used on this Amazon account is HackerNews approved.

  As I mentioned in #1107: we will not be 
  removing analytics support entirely. It 
  is extremely useful to us and we have 
  already weighed the cost/benefit of 
  using tracking.

Mozilla Developer also mentioned:

  Actually, @muffinresearch pointed out we could probably just observe Do Not Track here, 
  because this pane is actually a web page loaded in an iFrame inside the browser page. 
  That might be faster to ship. Just thinking aloud :smile:

  I'm definitely for giving users the option to disable this.

here is how it looks in real time:

Since the landing page required everyone interested to enter a keyword to search, the back-end server can record all query and ip-addrs.

I doubt if WikiLeaks.org use this exact same method to study what document attract traffic|attention. WikiLeaks' new releases are not signed by PGP anymore, I take that as either a Warrant Canary or some kinds of warning.

Of course, if everything packed in a torrent, then there's no way to conduct such a study.

Just few things happened recently related to data on cloud.

1> Google deleted People's account who bought Pixel from reseller. They have to beg google to restore their data, contacts. Not going to happened if you have it in your own cloud.

2> Windows 10 is full of telemetry. Imagine someone knows exactly what software you used, when you used it, for how long. Advertisement are built-in with system level. You don't own your machine anymore, Windows 10 can decide when it want to upgrade itself then lock you out from using it for hours. Your data now is in Microsoft's cloud, but you don't decide how they can use it, who they are going to sell to.

For depository reason? Sure of course, cloud is reliable on up time, expandable with a few click. But if Cloud provider decided to wipe the account with whatever reason, what you are going to do?

TIL: Alexa, an Amazon.com company.

I have seen RC helicopter powered by 2-stroke gasoline engine. I wonder why there isn't any Drone use that engine, it basically provide more fly time, more lift power and short "charge" hours.
