Personally I don't care because 90% of the "personal information" I've provided is false anyway.
So when you dictate e-mails, text messages and set reminders, you provide false information ? How is that useful ?

It turns out that Horan is right to worry.
Hum... IBM is a bit ahead of Apple in the game of natural language processing :

I banned iCloud here at our business too. Too non-secure and risky.

The problem with IBM hasn't been innovation, it's been getting these technologies to market. When I was there in the late 90s, they had some seriously cool technologies that they weren't able to bring forward. It's kinda sad, really.
Since Gerstner, I've had decreasing faith in the CEO vision and ability to execute, current one included
In fact, many organizations cut off access to certain websites / ports ( i.e., no FTP ). At my place of work we cannot get to social networks, FTP, nor can we get to the iTunes Appstore or MAS.
This story is a bit of a non story, really.
IBM has secrets? dont they just release one ****** computer after another with slightly updated specs?
so you LIE at your JOB???![]()
My problem is your perfectly reasonable behavior in a free market with privacy, would likely be reinterpreted by the regulatory and law enforcement kabal, as "wire fraud", with severe penalties.Personally I don't care because 90% of the "personal information" I've provided is false anyway.

That doesn't make any sense. What does my job have to do with this?
edit: nvm i just noticed that u replied to someone else and not to the topic itself

So sending all of your corporate info and email to a server in Canada is fine, meanwhile you can't ask siri to call your mom... okay.
Hum.. everything you tell Siri is sent to Apple, including any dictated e-mails and corporate information set in reminders (meetings about products, etc..).
Siri does not process any speech locally.
Although Apple could use all the motivation in can get to improve security, I doubt that any amount of security could satisfy IBM's concerns about confidential trade information being stored on a potential competitor/business partner's servers.A very smart move on IBM's part. It's also a very good message to Apple, improve iCloud and they will reconsider.
The timing is perfect since iCloud is very young and still being developed, Apple has plenty of time to get this service debugged. If they have the courage to be honest with themselves and use MobileMe's failures to learn from, they will get iCloud right at some point in time.
This will also help Apple remember that it's not just retail customers that are watching what they are doing with it.
Everyone wins when security is given the proper priority. As eager as I am to use iCloud, I too have avoided it, other than converting my MobileMe into my iCloud account. I'm going to let it sit unused until it has a track record of usefulness, reliability, up-time, and security.
Although they purposely, keep a low profile publicly, and don't seek the attention that Apple does, IBM is a highly respected, trusted, and secure company.
