> Ron Miller is enterprise reporter at TechCrunch. He has been a Freelance Technology Journalist since 1998 > Ron is currently corporate blogger for Intronis where he writes once weekly on issues related to the cloud, and a weekly feature called The Cloud 5 where he aggregates five links related to the cloud computing Might we perhaps have expected a slightly better understanding of the nature of the cloud? Of 'free' services? Of standard backup practice? Of password managers? Of password security? (Guy apparently used passwords simple enough that he could carry them in his head). It probably makes me a smug, uncaring bunghole, but my compassion doesn't really kick into gear over this. I have had the pleasure of working with the user database of a certain media company.

Yes, there were tech people too.
