It's not explicitly stated in the article, but in the tweet that started it all[1], he mentioned it was a Mac Pro, rather than a laptop. So that's somewhat less likely to be stolen than a laptop that is taken out of the house regularly.
That said, I agree with you, and I hope it's at least encrypted.

- bl4k 16y agoye not much better there is a reason datacenters were built thinking about this after I left my comment, having all that data on your local machine is just crazy - you are one browser exploit or break-in away from having it fall into somebody elses hands. It isn't professional for a web service to be doing this - esp one that is now charging some customers.
- petercooper 16y agoIn principle, this is true, but we're talking Instapaper here. The only sensitive data that could be in a list of URLs is if you were making a bunch of porn or subversive literature to "Read Later." It's not on a par with financial info or even personal notes.
- mwg66 16y agoWho are you to say what conclusions can or cannot be drawn between a persons name and a list of URLs they chose to read? I can think of many, undesirable and potentially erroneous conclusions that could be made.
