I personally frown upon the ads inserted into the news stream, and I found them even more intrusive when they try to "blend" with native posts. But of course it's their right to insert them there. But what I don't like e

But the issue is, that I don't know what exactly are they doing, and don't have means to find out. For example, I don't know whether they provided backdoor, how wide that backdoor is, i.e. at how many places are my Dropbox fi

Did you try fastmail.fm? It's very close to that.

I am curious to see how those two will sell. I can't imagine myself to buy the not-so-cheap 5C, when for 100 eur more, I can have faster processor (which will be important thing for iOS7), much better camera, non-plastic body and other

My thoughts as well. I actually miss Mike as a tech reporter and editor. He wasn't perfect, had his quirks, but still overall I wish he would return to the scene.

What portion of people you communicate with email were you able to convince to use PGP with you? My understanding is, that there isn't an email privacy, since at least they will have your metadata. In my limited understanding, secure c

You are exaggerating a bit, aren't you? The story is quite directly related to him, so what's wrong with asking about his opinion?

It is not unfair. At least some of them, most notably Google and Facebook, actively allure their users to share more and more of their private data, while misleadingly claiming, that they are able to keep them safe. If more and more people

But only after the password store was decrypted after providing the master password, or not? And that is good enough for me. If I let someone to use my computer, of course I will close the browser before. So he can use my computer, launch t

The article is a bit demagogic, because saying "we open your letters" is not the same thing as "Google algorithm reads your email." I don't defend Google here, and I also stopped using Gmail, but not for the reasons

IMHO the author is too harsh on Bezos. Ok, Amazon stopped hosting wikileaks, but that's because they published classified diplomatic cables, which was probably illegal, and (only in my opinion) also controversial; i.e. it is questionab

In my opinion, "accepted" is not the most precise word to describe it. If telco companies would say at the beginning: "You can buy mobile phone from us, but the part of the deal is that you will be tracked. Do you accept that

Hm, I agree with the author of the article on this. I think, the default should be, that the user will be prompted to define a master password, which unlocks the password store. User might choose not wanting to set this password, but then h

I don't fully agree regarding Manning. He revealed diplomatic cables, which was basically a work of U.S. diplomats, who have been writing "honest" assessments from inside those countries, under the condition that it remains

Maybe, I don't know. My concern is, that I would like to continue to use Windows 8, but not Skydrive. If there wouldn't be such a possibility, I could revert to Win 7 (although I don't like this idea, since Win 8 is superior

I see. If this will be the case, one just should be careful to not leave anything unwanted in the Documents folder?

I am a win8 fanboy, but this is unnerving. Anyway, at least in the home environment, I can still use Local user account, and just not login to Skydrive, right?

Cloud storage the way it’s meant to be? Without client-side encryption support? Hmm... BTW, can someone share the experience regarding the syncing speed? Lastly I had been evaluating both Dropbox and Skydrive, I found the DB to be quicker t

Hm, but shouldn't we also count thwarted attacks into your statistics? (I don't believe no deaths were prevented by such a massive apparatus). But as I said, I don't support anything, I am not even American, but with such a h

Ok, I didn't explain myself good enough. Of course he doesn't have to, he can write what he wants, and I also don't say he is wrong. I just wanted to say that I miss other points of view in this story.

What I am missing from Greenwald (or other journalists) is some serious analysis regarding what would happen, if NSA will really not be allowed to do "collect it all". I mean, whether it really isn't justifiable. As an amateu

I liked to have one ecosystem as well, but not anymore - it's too risky, because then one company has too much of your data, and there are too many various possibilities how the data can be leaked. I now use the opposite strategy, havi
