Nothing will happen because your average apple fanboy will keep on buying their shit even if it turns out iphone 6 is made by throwing kittens into a blender.
Can we talk about the apparent iCloud break-in?

Fuck sake, so everyone who enjoys Apple hardware is an Apple fanboy now? What is your issue?

No, just the people that buy every release of their hardware, which is pretty common from what I've noticed. Someone's a fan boy :3

That's exactly why this is so disturbing. These people didn't consent for any of this.
Thanks for posting this.
To those who can't understand, let's just put this as simply as possible.
I take you all know what rape is? Well, while you are not sexually assaulting (no you're not rapists so please don't freak out and panic) these celebrities affected by this, you are still violating someone who's never given consent. This is the same tactic done by cyber bullies. They release pictures of their target, slander their name, and expose them to the internet where they're at the mercy of anyone.
And then there's the people who have no problem admitting how they're masturbating to this, or even the ones who are slut shaming... this isn't something to take like a joke.
It isn't your fault tho, the fault is undeniably on the hacker. However, it's still important that you take responsibility for doing this. There's a difference between a celebrity releasing photos of themselves, and someone leaking them without permission. That's violating their privacy and is very gross.
I was curious too, but after learning these were released without permission, I didn't look. I'm glad I waited for more information before doing something I would regret.

There were a ton of ones released after the fake one. They don't all have her face but same bathroom towel in the background, same clothes, same phone case, same light switch, same everything. It's confirmed her.
I don't know about that but I do know how humiliating it is to have your privacy violated like this.
I don't know who this is, but I like her sass.
Jennifer and all the other girls thank you.
Do you think Apple fanboys are the people who bring in billions of revenue for Apple? The average person is Apple's biggest consumer of their products and they do not argue about iOS/Android, visit MacRumors, or spend much time talking about the latest part leak.
Ridiculous that some people think a company that had revenues of 170 billion last year and a market cap of 600 billion is successful because of fanboys.

I bet Jennifers password was Jennifer1
I completely agree. But like I said. My mind is so conflicted.
This is my brain.
Or it's like a reverse of this image. I know what's wrong about all of it, and I agree it's pretty grosse.
I did not fap. I shall not fap. But goddammit if I ain't curious.
I didn't say it wasn't worse for women, but they also know that too.
It being indefensible doesn't mean people shouldn't attempt to avoid having it happen to them. This is the basis for lots of human actions we'd rather not be a party to. Do you lock your front door? Why? Your house being burgled is indefensible, you have a right to not lock your door, not set an alarm, not insure your possessions, but you do those things, you do them because you are aware that within the society you are a part of, that there are people who are transgressive, criminal, truly horrible, and you want to protect yourself from that.
That article takes the position that one should act as if it's a perfect world, and be outraged at the reveal that it isn't. I don't see the logic of that, when we constantly compromise our life styles for the sake of the criminality that undeniable exists.

I don't think this article is great at all. First, why did it take the "assault" of Jennifer Lawrence for someone to call attention to this in such a way? Seems very odd to me since this has been going on forever. I also feel that articles that call attention to the fact that they are even out there are doing just as much damage as people posting them.
People have already made up their minds about this situation. You either read this and say "Yup!" or you read it and say "Jennifer Lawrence nudes?!".
This helps no one. You gotta have your clicks but you're very much part of the assault.

I'm willing to place some level of blame on a culture that both put these people so high on a pedestal and has such an active interest in tearing them down from it that any invasion into their privacy is seen as fair game, but I don't necessarily buy the idea that any responsibility to be taken, per se. The culture that drives leaks like this is basically the exact same culture that is the reason tabloids and newspaper gossip pages have existed for decades.
Bollocks, it will blow over just like everything else and will be swallowed up by the massive coverage of the new iPhone. Sure, some commentators and earnest Apple-haters will attempt to make it an issue, but it's too complicated and uninteresting to make mainstream waves.
That is assuming a lot about people. I'd rather take a few punches over having my most intimate and private moments spread across the Internet for everybody to see for years.
You downplayed the fact these type of assaults are generally against women and that women are the main victims of this. Bringing up Brad Pitt or other male celebrities can be understood as you trying to undermine the misogynistic nature of the crime.
Yeah, I'll lock my door. But even if I didn't, or if I used a run of the mill lock rather than a thousand dollars security systems - These things should never, ever come up after I'm actually burglarized. I mean, if your friend just got his house robbed you'll go "Yup, should have bought a better lock dude"?
Don't you see how it's perceived when instead of talking about how horrible the "hacker" or people who share these photos without consent, we're discussing whether women are using the optimal security for their photos? Don't you see how insensitive it is, and how that could appear as victim blaming?
If you want, you can write a post about how to properly secure photos so that these things wouldn't happen again in the future. But just bringing it up is just deflecting the blame away from the people who are perpetuating the crime.
I dunno. I might take a few fists to the jaw over pics being plastered all over my work room. Like the time I showed my coworker my Match.com profile and he printed out copies of the profile pics and taped them all over the monitors of the other folks in the tech center. I was making some sassy model pose, and it was funny. It wasn't terribly humiliating, but I can understand the pain of humiliation being hard to come back from.

Those admitting (even boasting) about looking at the leaks are pretty creepy people. I'm filing them away in my "gross" category of posters.
Yeah every time a nude comes out from a celebrity, it becomes so obvious how many people put these people on a pedestal. They're people. No higher than you or I. I'll live my life just fine without seeing them naked without their consent.
It's also the same culture that steals their friends diaries at a young age, or puts their ear to a wall trying to hear conversations on the other side. This is human culture.
Assault can have long lasting damage. It's not always a few punches.
Pretty sure no one cares, breh.
I didn't do it for them. I did it because I didn't want that on my conscious, but I am happy to not contribute to their humiliation.
I completely agree. But like I said. My mind is so conflicted.

You're not at fault, don't feel bad for being curious. You're fine imo, especially since you acknowledge the issue at hand, and I thank you for it.
I have been harassed over the internet just for pictures of myself during my Homecoming in high school. Nothing remotely lewd or scantily clad. I'm more aware of these problems, but I know everyone isn't. I'm just relieved there are people who do accept that this is a problem. That you looked is basic human curiosity, don't feel guilty, ok?
I care. Don't speak for others.

Call me crazy, but it seems very uncomplicated. And involves celebrities. Hell....Cnn, MSN, and Fox all had front page articles last night just about the leaks. And sure, maybe some won't understand Cloud technology or how this happened, but not fully understanding has never stopped people from throwing a shit fit before ( see Affordable Care Act). I don't think anything large will shift because of this, but it won't just blow over.
Pretty sure no one else cares breh. (that he's adding people to his "gross list".)
I'm an asshole for looking at a picture of a sex symbol on the internet.
Honestly, who would want a friend that was so judgmental of others? Do you defriend people for looking at tabloids that has pictures of celebrities on beaches? They didn't agree to have those out either.
I don't care what you think other people think.
Well I don't. I don't feel like a terrible person for having looked at the pictures.
I got a good laugh out of how I was told about this. I was in the middle of playing Warframe with a friend when my girlfriend links me a nude picture of Jennifer Lawrence with the text "oh dear" under it.
At first I didn't even recognize who that was and just wondered why my GF sends me random pics of some woman.

That is horrifically scary.
I don't care that you don't care. So how about that?
I don't agree it is misogynistic. Obviously speculating about the motives of the hacker is difficult, but a hatred of women would surprise me as the motive. Considering he was seeking money for this, it's more likely a question of targeting celebrities that people online want to see naked, which is for the most part high profile women I gather.
Well I didn't bring it up. I didn't post out the blue that it was their fault, I don't even think it is, I was just replying to the article which people posted. It's written from an exceptionally naive perspective, and I don't think it has merit. Does it suck that JLaw should have probably never allowed herself to take these photos for fear of them getting online? Of course. But does that lessen the need to protect herself from that? I don't think it does.
Again, I didn't bring it up, the article did. I also don't agree it's deflecting the blame, it's not addressed to the women in the photos at all, only to the writer of the article.
If he doesn't want friends that are scummy enough to treat private photos like trading card, he has every right to remove himself from that relationship. It doesn't matter how you try and rationalize it. It's gross and it's a sign that you value satisfying base sexual instincts over others' privacy. You're being a peeping Tom, plain and simple.
It's not being judgmental at all. No one bats an eye at people and their love for porn, because it's a consented performance. But these photos were released without permission. If some of us aren't pleased with them being spread around like a joke, we aren't being judgmental.
If you looked and comment, okay, I'll cut you a break for curiosity. But spreading the pictures around? It's wrong....
