Please disregard. For a moment I couldn't see my first post, so I tried this.

Testing 1, 2, 3... ?

That's pretty corny.  How about, "Can you hear me now"?

You can write stuff down on a little spiral notebook and put it in your pocket.

Apple is awesome, but not invincible. Anyone who thought otherwise is quixotic - plain and simple. It's only a matter of time before hackers get/got to the company.

I won't feel safe from hackers until ALL of my constitutional rights are violated. The Obama administration is dragging its feet! Hurry up and eliminate internet anonymity!

If you have nothing to hide, what's the problem with your personal data and password becoming public knowledge? ;)

Apple was warned months ago the website had a serious vulnerability hole. They could care less about protecting user info only their own assets which they consider to be their intellectual property. Apple users don't get inputs so they don't have to bounce their property data "intellectual property" off multiple servers. They still have a huge vulnerability at the hardware layer their 256 bit encryption was also cracked months ago.

You almost sound as though you are complicit with the supposed hackers.
Your glee does not appear to be just dislike for Apple; there is a sense of victory in your posts.

A magical and revolutionary experience for the hackers involved.

Oh, for a minute I thought this about itunes accounts being hacked into. lol

The more you claim that it is impossible to do something, the more you make people want to try.

Welcome to reality, now take your medicine and learn to secure your personal data like the rest of us. :)

Oh same here, pre-paid CC ... If they steal that # they are going to get a few bucks at most. :)

Thanks for being busy elsewhere. Yeah Apple is a big prestigious target but they do little harm to the people of the world; to the contrary. Apple does a lot of good.
Keep doing what you feel needs to be done. The odds are against you.

Meanwhile you are left twisting in the wind. You have no idea if they just did a data dump of the info on the IRC dhat channel and moved on. Crack it open and release it in the wild, move on to the next episode.

LulzSec is still operational, only now they call themselves AntiSec, and have reinforcements from Anonymous to bolster their ranks! Hooray for the new AntiSec alliance! Keep up the good work!

How is someone publishing everyone's passwords, etc going to be a good thing?

But Apple can't get hacked. Their computers are immune to security problems- their commercials told me so!

They went "elsewhere" for some reason. We have to call it at least "a draw."

Change your name to gullible. Nobody hacks and comes out with a load and doesn't use it some how. They are probably trying to make apple execs feel appeased while they sell or data dump the goods.

Your sarcasm lacks knowledge, look up the history of Apple then look at deceitful Microsoft and realize how the upbringing of each computer come about.

Right... Apple claims their computers are immune to security concerns, but you're saying Microsoft is decietful...
