Apple's non-investment in cloud is starting to pay off. Hey Tim, how about letting app developers and browser makers use a non-safari rendering engine on the iP

  Tim has watched War Games apparently. iCloud exists but facilitates storing only core data and otherwise is a sync mechanism. Social aspects of iCloud are what's "missing" so even a large breach wouldn't result is 100x users being exposed. The most galling part of the FB failure was that the people breached weren't the ones who installed the misbehaving app. And society at large paid for it.

    >And society at large paid for it. What's the cost again? I'm still experiencing cognitive dissonance over the fact that this is news here on HN. What Facebook was doing was common knowledge (for the last 8 years?). I assumed all those spammy facebook apps, like candy crush, had access to the entire social graph of facebook (not just US) or at least built it up over time. All those stupid "Log in with Facebook" apps almost always asked for your friend information.

      Did you also assume they were exfiltrating that data and selling/giving it to third parties? I didn't.

        Whose 'they'? And after all those sketchy apps asking for your friends list all these years? Yeah. Yeah I did.
