Excerpt:
"In the old days, traditional computer security centered around users.
However, Bruce Schneier writes that now some of us have pledged our
allegiance to Google (using Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and
Android phones) while others have pledged allegiance to Apple (using
Macintosh laptops, iPhones, iPads; and letting iCloud automatically
synchronize and back up everything) while others of us let Microsoft do
it all. 'These vendors are becoming our feudal lords, and we are
becoming their vassals.
