Everyone wants equality as long as it's just the good stuff.

Well...
Why is it bad to slutshame women for their actions, but it is just fine to slutshame men because they like to look at hot, naked chicks, no matter how the pics got out? It is a BIOTRUTH that men are attracted to optimal mating partners that have proven themselves superior reproductive partners by means of wealth and fame.
Goddam double standard, is what it is.
I was not aware of "biotruth".
I'm going to try to use it often and offensively.

This one is already out there, used alongside "privilege" and how one can be "racist" for having the wrong economic policy opinions and other stuff I am blanking on at the moment.

Apple f'ed up.
Well-guarded systems only let users guess passwords a handful of times before blocking access. But until this week, Apple's iCloud service allowed people to guess passwords over and over again. It would never lock out. Eventually, hackers hit it right.
Apple adding more security.

I'm sure that comes as a great comfort to many people.

To me, that's an admission of fault.
I hope these celebs sue Apple. I also hope it starts to affect Hollywood's relationship with Apple.
I mean, if you're Jennifer Lawrence would you want to see Apple products being pushed in your movies knowing the whole world has now seen you with someone's load on your face?

They will lose. Fantastically.

I think Apple is going to get away with it. I think Apple is spinning this to remove attention from the problem that people had local pics that they would never have wanted on iCloud.

Don't be so sure.
-How did Apple market iCloud? Were there ads that called it secure?
-What's the expectations of that security?
-Does not setting a limit to the number of password attempts in this day and age prove incompetence?
-Does constantly trying to connect their consumers' phones and tablets to it after every update, whether they use it or not, add to their responsibilities?
-Apple also had a massive vulnerability in their phones via Bluetooth, yet the dumbfucks always turn that on after an update too.
-If you advertise that you'll hold someone's private files securely, shouldn't you be held responsible if your security fails?
Even if the celebs lose, the stance Apple takes could make them look very bad to other consumers.
P.S. Two days ago a user brought me their old phone wanting me to save the text messages on it before they moved to a new one. I was performing this task for them and had to access their SkyDrive. Well, what they didn't know is that their phone had been backing up ALL of their photos there. Thus, even though they deleted them from their phone, they still existed out there. I saw things I wish I could unsee. Lingerie. Nudes. Dildos inside her. Etc.
Before you ask, if she was hot, I would have already shared them...

I miss the days when it was cool to have a cow-spotted computer in your show, not a fucking apple logo.

If Apple's consumers operated on logic...
Secure is relative. Bike locks are "secure."
Expectation of security? Encryption.
Incompetence? No. Insanely stupid, shitty security practices. But you could say the same thing about the password that was cracked. A "good" one should take years of computing time to break. This was probably someone's birth date plus their dog's name, all readily available via social media and websites.
The constant connectivity to "the cloud" doesn't really do much either.
The users are behaving at least as insecurely as the manufacturers. Caveat emptor. You'd think the hardware dudes would know better.
Again ... "secure" is relative. If you want improved security, find dudes that encrypt using one-time padding. Yeah, the key is as big as the ciphertext, but hey ... you want to be sure, right?

That will most likely be Apple's stance, which wouldn't go over well with the general public. And I say that knowing that Apple would be right.
If consumers want security for their private pictures, the very last thing they should be doing is entrusting them to a third party. Instead, just get an external HD and put them on there.

If you want to be sure, you have to root your phone/device. Period. The vast majority of people will not go to that trouble.
