.. Comcast conveniently ratted them out. Now there are no heroes in this story.

It's a Stupocracy.

I deny access to flash, and now I am unique.

if he was still alive would have created a new asshole in this writer. What a load of crap. How do people get paid to write such utter garbage, he makes it sound like Apple is just a Sony drone instead of the world's most valuable company.

I find it hard to imagine with so many laws in the US that this is not only illegal but a felony?

to list who hasn't been hacked yet. I wonder if these big companies buy their security systems at K-Mart.

Profit is king in the US. Providing for your citizens is king in Sweden. Apparently those are unrelated concepts.

... someone drops a nuke on your HVU from 1000 miles away.

I either have to get the exit row or pay extra for better leg room. I physically cannot sit in most airlines seats. I don't mind it since I don't fly often. I wish they offered wide people some options as I am pretty narrow and don't like it much when people intrude on my seat area. But airlines really could care less whether anyone fits in the seats or not as long as they pay. I predict the seat pitch will get smaller and smaller until until double legs amputees can sit.

...how some speculation posted on the internet has to be true. So far there is zero evidence it has anything to do with iCloud or even Apple, just speculation. The brute password hack was real but there is no evidentiary connection so far. Unless 100% of the celebrities were using iPhones and iCloud to store their photos it's just as likely there was some other kind of hack such as some place they all were at (people pointed to the Emmys as one possibility). But the internet is all about pumping up the noise. It might be iCloud, or it might not be, we don't have any proof yet. It could be someone at the NSA had too much booze one day.

If you read the article the information about the exec and where and when he was traveling was public, they just looked up the most likely flight he would be on and used that.

... is a job best done by people who understand it. Yet the security czar of the US Government bragged in an interview that since he didn't know anything about security he was better able to deal with it.

Is to lie. Tell them you are moving to a city which doesn't have comcast. So they can't do anything but disconnect you. Of course once Comcast is the only Cable company left you are screwed.

but I classified it as top secret.

To be hooked up to some device while we work to measure how likely we are to wind up at the top of the stack rank. It could be completely automated, if it determines you just wrote sucky code it generates a pink slip email and a robot carries you out the door. Instant better code!
