1. Comment - Danger signs: Now how secure does the cloud look?

   Yes, everyone is correct they should keep a back-up and they were PAYING t-mobile/Microsoft/danger to do that.
   
   I will guarantee everyone of you internet tough guy "data security admins" (level 1 help desk goons if your lucky) has a all of your contacts and email "in the cloud" on your AOL account. Give me a break.

   Stop being a troll. I'll bet that if (ironically) if he had been the 'MS'NBC of bloggers and had a tingle up his leg for an Apple product you wouldn't have minded.

3. Comment - My father's laptop: A humble machine's simple lesson

   Carmi, my condolences for your loss. This was a wonderful article. It really made me reflect on some of the moments I've had with family recently. First I'll say that my parents always felt that it was important to have technology in our home. But neither of my parents were computer literate themselves. my mother has just recently discovered online banking, and I believe it has really enhanced her life. My dad on the other hand doesn't really go around the computer that much.
   
   My wife's 80+ year old grand parents are very computer literate, with some quirks. I think about how we went over recently and her grand mother was trying to "save" the photos we were sending her (from flickr) to DVD for a backup. After a little research it turns out she was just saving my actual flickr page to her computer :-)
   
   I also think about our 80+ y/o great uncle who just got a facebook, or my friends mom who's never driven a car, but just got her first computer two weeks ago to stay in touch with her son in the Coast Guard living 2000 miles away (and is amazingly active on facebook).
   
   The fact is it's amazing the world technology can open for people no matter how old.

   Everything is a "right" nowadays ... guaranteed by some well meaning Liberal in government, paid for by everyone else.
