Steal this iPod, Please

without comments

I’m upset with the folks as Lifehacker. Apparently, I’m not good enough to comment on their stories, so I’ll post it here.

Lifehacker has a story about how to turn your iPod into a backup drive. I suppose they think they’re being clever by using the iPod’s “Enable disk use” feature. Since thousands of iPods are lost or stolen every year, your backup simply becomes an image of all your sensitive documents.

Way to go, Lifehacker. You’re encouraging people to make identity theft easier.
