iCloud: All Your Files Are Belong To Us

[ExileOnDaytonStreet]

Any Mac users trust Steve Jobs and Co. to actually use their cloud service?

Apple's reputation for protecting privacy is somewhere in the same league as Google, Facebook and Linda Tripp, so I'm leery. But, that said, I kind of like the idea of syncing up my iTunes library.

Much like National ID cards I love the idea, I just don't trust the execution. Saving things in the cloud and having access to them from anywhere would be great. I just don't believe there is any privacy when it comes to companies (or government). So I would never save anything of importance there.

Note to self: keep secret plan for toppling government separate from icloud data.

I'd never put anything of substance up on a service like that. If you're a scam artist/identity thief, this'd be the ultimate goldmine of info to steal.

At the very least, don't name it iRevolution.

I'd be more interested in iCloud if I didn't need to use Apple products to access everything. For example, I'd like to use my Droid's Bluetooth function to play my iTune collection in the car. As for "privacy", there is none on the internet.

Not unless you want these folks mad at you.

(They'd actually probably be happy, although Apple is so last century.)
