He cannot return the data per se, so there is a difference. Once it leaves Apple's servers it could be less secure and he's not registered as a data controller I'm sure. In your example above, why could the person not just po

Yes, extra points of failure may include: - Having webmail which is not protected with two factor authentication - Enabling POP/IMAP which also does not have two factor authentication

One minor annoyance with that is that it breaks Gmail's SPF lookups as Rackspace does not do SRS [1] (last time I checked). [1] http://www.openspf.org/SRS

You can learn from failures and successes. Why does every headline need to be so self-assured and bombastic these days?

"Although most users don't use bookmarks" Wow. I'm sure they have the data to back that up. I guess most people now get the news from their Facebook stream perhaps.

Seeing the outpourings of tributes for Google Reader reminds me of Elon Musk's comments about GM recalling the EV1. There are not many products which are missed so dearly and it doesn't seem like progress to me. RSS is dead but I

I've not enjoyed using any of the new readers so far, so will be spending my "free" time going though my Pocket and Kindle backlogs (The Penguin Book of Historic Speeches is insiprational).

I always hate these self-serve product forums. The replies from enthusiasts can be very patronising. I understand it for something you're not paying for (i.e. Google Product Forums, ug) but for Office there should be some MS-paid perso

Overall it's really good. I'm going to have this running in a tab for a while :) Some thoughts: - A couple of times the audio dropped. Each time I noticed the mute button was engaged and even unmuting the audio did not come back.

I think it's an oversimplification to say the reason for this innovation not happening sooner is because of risk. The Boeing 777 flies on only 2 engines which sounds far riskier but didn't stop it being approved. Also there's

I give to my local thrift shop (or charity shop as we call them in the UK) and their average bag value is £25 ($39) [1]. That probably includes the 25% extra they can reclaim through tax breaks. [1] http://support.cancerresearchu

Great video. I hope the lessons from gov.uk encourage adoption in all government departments and councils. Open government is great, but I hope open journalism is not too far away (e.g. http://wikileaks.org/Transcript-Meetin

Yes, that's correct. So if you have a 1GB TrueCrypt container the whole thing needs to be uploaded again. Another annoyance is that you cannot change the size of a drive after you create it [1] and it doesn't shrink to fit the dat

CCTV is in a public place. No European person would expect that their private Skype calls, GMails and Dropbox files are being stored by the NSA. Clearly the US government knows the logging is unfair as it does not include its own citizens [
