This isn't cynicism. It is the new reality we live in. We now have to look at every piece of technology we buy and do a risk analysis to see how it could leak our data. It isn't just the NSA. It is also hackers who are after our d

Love the way as you read the article you see this big modal slide down in front of your face and you have to figure out how to get rid of it. There is a tasteful way to do this and this is not one of them. Retention fail.
