> The gist is that files created on several widely used apps are saved to iCloud as soon as the files are created. When a user later gives the file a name and selects a location to store it, the document is “removed” from iCloud (unless, of course, the user intentionally saves the file to iCloud.) Users can also disable iCloud altogether, keeping files confined to their devices.

Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai, Mashable

> Cops can force you to unlock your smartphone with your fingerprint — but they can't force you to unlock it with your passcode, according to a judge in Virginia.
> The decision, one of the first ones to deal with fingerprints and cellphones, confirms the fact that law enforcement agents can get access to a locked phone with legal means if they need to. At the same time a PIN or a password might enjoy more protection than a fingerprint.

*** Why We Quoth ‘The Raven’ evermore ***
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/10/30/why-we-quoth-the-raven-evermore/>
Ron Charles, Washington Post

> What is it about Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” that’s kept this creepy poem flying high for almost 170 years? Since its publication in 1845, it’s been continually read, anthologized, performed, filmed, illustrated and, of course, parodied (Doh!). In fact, those parodies hatched even before the ink on the original poem was dry.

> So, yes, it’s always darkest before the light. But no matter how gloomy it looked 30 years ago, it’s downright disastrous now — and this time there isn’t a sweater-clad savior lurking just around the corner.
