iCloud leaks it all ....

The Cloud , a service that basically becomes a dump to store all your data online can be beneficial as you can sync the data to multiple devices almost anywhere but like everything , there is a catch , and this catch is privacy .Personally , i rarely use the cloud , and my usage usually revolves around me syncing mostly not so useful documents , but the majority tend to upload many other things , such as pictures , which may be scandalous at times , and such a scandal did happen today as a new iCloud leak dumped nude #nsfw photographs of 101 famous stars including some pictures from popular ones such as Jennifer Lawrence ,Avril lavigne and even unexpected ones like  Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice . The leak , or lets say the file dump was first released to 4Chan and then Reddit .the photos , which were downloaded off celebrity iCloud accounts , quickly spread around the #nsfw community and now , some of the stars who's alleged photos were leaked have started to express their anger and denial on Twitter . The leaker , who has gone dark no longer holds the pages that posted the pictures at first , and the  two websites 4Chan and Reddit have started a cleanup process to bring the spread under control , (3rd party host sites like imagur ,twitter & even Pornhub  holds large caches of photos and slip under the radar) .The leak , which also spilled some controversial videos are still held at ransom by the uploader , who demands payment in bitcoin (a digital currency) for their release .  Legal advisers of some of the stars have declared that they will take legal action against anyone who is sharing the said photos online .The iCloud leak , which is another bad blow for cloud services and Apple comes just a few months after Edward Snowden's leak about where all your online photos end up .

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
