Occasionally, we’ll take a chance on Redbox for other stuff.

i have seen four movies this year... and i highly recommend all four: CHEF, the Lunch Box, the 100-Foot Journey and the Grand Budapest Hotel... interestingly, the first three are about food... the fourth one i listed has an ensemble cast: Ralph Fiennes, Adrian Brody, Edward Norton, Harvey Keitel, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, Jude Law, Jeff Goldblum... funny and suspenseful...

oops... i did take my son and his buddy to see the latest Ninja Turtle movie, which i enjoyed... i did see Lone Survivor on Netflix or Redbox earlier in the year... it was good...

Look at the stories on the right side of the DailyMail website. Nothing but PR stories.

I have a professional interest in understanding security breaches. There are so many ways your smart phone can be hacked. Hacking an iCloud account is definitely one way, but there are much simpler ways.

Possibilities for the source of the breach I haven’t seen discussed much:

1) Not suggesting this is the most likely, but, NSA or other government agency employee.
2) Hackers operating a rogue cell phone tower
3) Unsecured WiFi hotspot. (Google DroidSheep or FaceNiff)

Snooping on unsecured WiFi hotspots is the most likely source of the breach IMO. Paparazzi follow these people around like a pack of rabid dogs and their business is to get pictures. They couldn’t sell these pictures, but it is a pretty small leap to think they might try to get them and trade them.

People turn their WiFi on while on their home network and then go somewhere without turning it off and the phone connects to every hotspot you get within range of. Anything sent or received over WiFI can be intercepted, including your girlfriends nekkid pics. Retailers can track you in their store using your WiFi signal.
