I liked this article, mainly because of this paragraph:

But here’s the real surprise: this is good news even if you don’t agree with Apple’s case. Googlers will see it as a cheap shot and get mad. Good! Let them get angry, and then let them try to one-up Apple when the next Android OS comes out next month (my money’s on “Lollipop”), adding even stronger protections than iOS 8. Then Apple can strike back at WWDC 2015. For years, the free-web crowd has been hoping iOS and Android would start competing on privacy, and now, finally, it might actually be happening. If Tim Cook wants to throw some strong language as part of the deal, I’ll take it.

Google Now might be useful for some and that’s fine, but I find it utterly incredibly useless. The only thing I find it useful for is the weather, that’s it.

With so many services like iCloud and Dropbox getting hacked these days, it’s no surprise that more people want to pull their data off the cloud. Instead of missing out on those great syncing features, though, you can create your own cloud storage service that you control with a service called ownCloud. With it, you’ll get syncing files, notes, calendars, and more. The best part: it only takes about five minutes to get it set up.
