How 'The Cloud' Eats Away at Your Online Privacy (Video)
Tom Henderson, Principal Researcher at ExtremeLabs Inc., is not a cloud fan. He is a staunch privacy advocate, and this is the root of his distrust of companies that store your data in their memories instead of yours. You can get an idea of his (dis)like of vague cloud privacy protections and foggy vendor service agreements from the fact that his Network World columnn is called Thumping the Clouds. We called Tom specifically to ask him about a column entry titled The downside to mass data storage in the cloud.
Today's video covers only part of what Tom had to say about cloud privacy and information security, but it's still an earful and a half. His last few lines are priceless. Watch and listen, or at least read the transcript, and you'll see what we mean.

a) everyone on Slashdot knows that "cloud" and "your privacy" are contradictory
b) hint, people not on Slashdot won't see the article, so posting it is irrelevant
c) video articles suck balls, nobody wants to hear some dork talk when they could read the piece in 1/4 of the time
