Why would anyone trust a cloud?
Everything I have is going to stay within the confines of my computer!
“Everything I have is going to stay within the confines of my computer!”
Amen to that bro. We don’t care if we have dozens of hard drives around and spend on it. Nothing goes on the cloud.
Beware of applications that secretly send your data to an internet server!

Yeah, me too! That way at least I will know who’s reading my stuff; that being the NSA! I’m thinking that those who “really” want or need autonomy will have to figure out a way to communicate off the grid. Will be difficult where speed is required though. I’m thinking maybe pigeons, pony express, tin cans on a string? Don’t have a clue what a good alternative may be. Ideas?
Imagine my alarm when I logged into my Quickbooks account residing on my computer and noticed a new tab to upgrade to 2014. I've never used the online service or backup. How did this happen?
Everything I have (outside of MP3's, video files, etc..) stays within the confines of REMOVABLE MEDIA which is inserted when I need something, saved back to that removable media, and then that removable media is removed from my computer.
I also maintain multiple COPIES of my removable media so I don't have a single source of failure for my information.
If anyone (NSA, etc..) is going to hack into my computer they're not going to find jack squat.
Yes, I know my actions are rather extreme however extreme times call for extreme measures.
