> What is your bank password, grandpa.

What kind of moron keeps a banking password in their dropbox?

That's the only thing that's comparable to this photo hack.

Banks (unlike Apple) are MUCH more diligent about your banking password. This is not something that is published in the clear ANYWHERE.

That information is not "in the cloud" really in any way that's comparable to Jennifer's nude photos.

Yeah. So?

Clearly you've never experienced what it is to live in places like those. Flaunting wealth is a dangerous thing in places like those. Not keeping a low profile is a dangerous thing to do in places like those.

Doesn't matter if it's the cops or the neighbors.

You can either adapt to the situation or expect the whole world to change to suit you (like some idiot feminist).

You should really stick to the suburbs if your are totally unwilling to engage in any sort of situational awareness. You are likely to get yourself and everyone you're traveling with killed.

No. The world is not ideal.

You present in the way that you want to be treated appropriate for the place you happen to be.

She didn't look like a nice girl on that cover photo that accompanied her interview. If anything,that photo made me wonder if her real problem is that people are getting something for free when she usually charges for it.

Righteous indignation from an actor is hilarious. It's their job to expose themselves in the most intimate ways possible for our amusement. It just so happens that we have a puritanical fixation on sex. However, what actors do on a regular basis is really much more intimate than that.

That's the great irony in all of this.

I only blame Jennifer Lawrence for being an offensive inflammatory moron for equating the disclosure of documents with crimes such as rape.

Of course the rush to scream "victim blaming" overshadows the highly assinine nature of her statements.

I would tend to blame Apple for the breach as they were the corporation entrusted with the data in question. They were a responsible (and presumably competent) party in this whole mess.

This is also something else that is lost in all of the noise generated by the faux backlash of people rushing to scream "victim blaming".

Although I am inclined to add an "I told you so" because I am one of the many voices that have been saying not to trust cloud storage.

> Fur Coats - I can see that we don't need Fur Coats anymore as there is a big selection of cheaper and effective other sources for coats. (Fur as in they need to kill the animal)

Fur is still quite superior to any attempts to replicate it with artificial means. It's more effective than the alternatives and much more durable.

It's like Tyler Durden's ode to leather in Fight Club. A fur coat can last you the rest of your life.

As long as you eat the relevant animal (arctic Mink farmers do this), then you aren't wasting anything in the process.

You know that and I know that. Welcome to the 1%. Most other people don't realize that. HELL, a lot of church lady types don't even know that pirating stuff is even "immoral" or illegal or anything.

Real life is funny that way.

The catch in all of this is that the original article seems to imply that ALL downloading is considered illegal by the FBI. They don't care if it's from legal sources or not. It sounds like they conflate using legal services with using The Pirate Bay.

Pretty much ZERO millenials will be able to meet that standard.

The people talking about the Amish and people over 50 probably have the right idea.

So the FBI are a bunch of fascist retards? No great surprise there.

About the only thing that Facebook doesn't have is the SSN. The rest of it is right there either explicitly out in the open or made trivially easy to figure out by what you've already exposed on Facebook.

Even without Facebook, those other details are readily available to anyone with the slightest bit of motivation. It's been this way since before the Internet was a consumer thing.

Your attitude is a good example of "ignorance being bliss".
