I HATE APPLE

Referring to the iCloud celebrity nudes leak that happened today. Kinda waiting for a more legitimate site to report on it, don't want to link to the sources of the "fappening"...

are you going to make me search the internet for "icloud celebrity nudes"

you can't say that and not provide a link

twitter.com

just seems like garbage reporting by some garbage websites based on the claims of somebody on 4chan, including multiple spox comments from the people named that the photos are faked

The pictures allegedly were retrieved due to an Apple iCloud leak that allowed celebrities’ phones to be hacked, and were posted on 4chan in an attempt to earn bitcoins.

yes that is a list of names

Saving you a click to ch@n.

guys, i even gave you the term to google in quotes

And I gave you a .jpg from imgur.com. Hand over the bitcoins.

welp there's a google search i feel pretty horrible about wending my way through

easily found on reddit now. well.

iMovie is so broken haha

Would love to say I resisted the urge to click a few when I first saw them posted, but I did not. Feel bad about it now though, sorry JLaw and Kate Upton.

ill look at some celebrity boobs if theyre out there, curious abt celebrities, boobs

these women did not consent to have the general public see them naked. this whole thing is unbelievably gross and it's been really demoralizing to see men who are ostensibly feminist allies treat this so lightly.

I agree that it's a gross invasion of privacy, but at the same time this shit happens all the time and the only reason there seems to be such a swell of outrage is just that it was a bunch of celebrities at once. I mean I don't think I've ever seen a single thinkpiece devoted to leaked celebrity nudes before and it happens all the fucking time, so I'm a little taken aback.

Also celebrities who complain about paparazzi harassing them usually get laughed down, and that's been going on for decades.

really unbelievably gross

like you cant believe it

the only thing that shocks me about this little episode is that whoever possessed these photos didn't make bank out of it

although maybe all of this is part of a longer game being played

saw some thing abt people getting bitcoin donations for posting the noods to 4chan, all the best internet stuff in one place

this is unfortunate for the people involved obviously but I'm surprised that the fbi is 'investigating'. will they do that if this happens to a non famous person? I suppose you could say this negatively impacts these people's careers but...does it, these days? I'm not so sure.

also surprised this isn't just a huge promotion for Sex Tape

The "revenge porn" phenomenon, which does affect non-famous people, is an even more disturbing issue. IDK whether the FBI gets involved or not but there have been lawsuits and legislative attempts to deal with it.

fbi prob mostly concerned with "hacking" tbh

ew cmon

ios8 is running like shit on my iphone5

After reading this I'll be definitely be giving it a miss on my 4S

http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/09/ios-8-on-the-iphone-4s-performance-isnt-the-only-problem/

Am I crazy if I just stop updating apps too now? I feel like it's just showing signs of getting annoyingly sluggish and I'd rather not risk anything that could make it worse until I finally decide to get a new handset.

avoiding app updates probably is a bit paranoid, you'll get better stability improvements by deleting stuff if you're below like a gig of free storage on your phone

yeah, being really low on space seems to still be performance death on iOS/OS X

I've got a 64GB one and have 17GB free. It's not really slow, but it's not as fast as it was, and I can only assume that apps making greater demands of it are the reason. If there's some other trick, do let me know.

fwiw I didn't intend to, but I ended up completely wiping when installing iOS 8 and then restoring my settings from a backup and it seemed to make a reasonable difference in performance

then again, who knows

this happened to me too, when I installed iOS 7. i get the feeling their upgrade procedure is less efficient than restoring from backup.

iOS 8 quite underwhelming so far

also LOL @ emoji button

whats it got is there any point

afaict not much!

emoji button sounds good

double-tap menu has recent contacts across the top, you can send audio messages, siri has integrated shazam, you can have family members share app purchases, it will eventually ask you if you want to let diff apps do shit in the background (it detects lots of background activity and sends you to settings if you want)
battery usage by app is also available, letting you know what's draining things

SwiftKey keyboard looking pretty good

1password integrated into safari is a very welcome addition (also i think it's free for ios now?)

you can send audio messages

My dad had a pager in the 80s that looked like the talkee part of a walkee-talkee. His customers could call the number and say their message. In a few moments, that thing would go off and you'd hear this garbled CB voice come shredding out of it.

No, it's great that we've gone back to those halcyon days.

*annoys all of you*

A commie hacker friend of mine is thinking about getting a smartphone finally. I jokingly mentioned how grateful I am that Tim Cook allows me to install custom keyboards now but then halfway through realized it wasn't a joke. :/
