Cloud Storage Proves It Is Worse Than Useless

FBI looking into leaked nude photos of Lawrence, Upton

I just love this! "FBI looking into leaked, nude photos".
Lucky bastards get paid to look at nude photos!

Hey, it beats clod storage, as used in the old USSR, for instance.

You just made my day. I read your post and a picture of frozen horse pucks immediately popped into my mind- the original hard disk!!! Good thing I wasn't drinking anything!

I've never liked the cloud idea primarily for the very reason the celebs are getting upset over. Well, not exactly. My opposition to the cloud has to do with protecting and controlling my own data (not nudes....as no one wants to see those anyway).

I've got an opinion about the mindless people who are whining because their nude photos got published.

I am sure you have.

They sell their bodies all day and all night long. Now the feel "violated"?

"Sell" (under their control) being the operative word. But hey, publicity is good right, as long as it doesn't kill your career?

They send this stuff out into the internet and think it's safe??? How dumb can they be?

Seriously? So many comments, so many examples. How about one word - Scientology.

Cloud storage will NEVER be secure, but the cost will continue to rise.

That's debatable, accidents will happen, its a new technology and concept (from a wide scale use and concept), etc. I don't see the need for it in my work myself.

I store everything on two external drives. I never use it, knowingly. Do you?

Same. Beats storing it on CDs and I still don't look at most of it. Oddly enough many of my old CDs and DVDs have died in storage yet the old mechanical hard drives I was so worried about keep on chugging away, go figure.

Maybe the publicity will wisen up some folks who don't know how their pictures get shared by all their devices. The Cloud should better be termed "Somebody Else's Computer".

Two years later, a huge back door in iCloud is still wide open

Yep, but you can yes you can be your own cloud.... http://youtu.be/3aycIjfsQaY

I wanted to buy a copy of photoshop the other day, when I went to the Adobe site I found that you can no longer buy a copy you have to rent it to the tune of $50/month. this is the full function of the cloud.

Give the dummies a cheap computer claiming to move the burden of storage to the cloud, What good is a computer without software, basically useless, don't buy into this garbage.
