Big Brother's watching you!

Be careful what files you store in "the cloud".  It's a very useful concept because it allows you to access any files stored that way from any computer with an internet connection.  But it has now become apparent that if the cloud provider is under US jurisdiction (like Google, Apple and Amazon are for example) the US authorities can inspect your files without your permission or any need for a warrant.  So you would be wise to think carefully about putting any personal details on there.
