I would assume it's just sent through the API with the iOS App's app credentials (they are open and out there). That specific set of app credentials allows the OAuth endpoint for email + password sign in through the API. Maybe some other database got hacked and the user credentials were used on twitter.

While it is very generous, I doubt they would give a sum like that if it wasn't for the publicity. I'm sure news like this can help their image quite a lot in their target audience (security-aware computer people).

Do you know if T-Mobile has improved in the Phoenix area? The website shows 'excellent' coverage around here, but all I read online is horror stories of not having any signal in buildings etc. Apparently they wanted to work on that in the last 6-10 months, but I haven't heard anything about it since.

Good suggestion, I've been using Amazon Glacier with the CloudBerry backup software which supports client-side AES encryption (http://www.cloudberrylab.com/amazon-glacier-backup-software....) and couldn't ask for more. Of course you will have to trust CloudBerry not to put a backdoor in their Software, but it seems there are no OSS alternatives right now that work as easily.

Theoretically yes, but ngResource is kind of the achilles' heel of AngularJS right now. You're often better off using a different library or making your own class with $http requests.

Is there no hardened version of Psych which lets you either disable object deserialization, or whitelist classes? That would seem like the safest option right now to guard against coming vulnerabilities in Rails in this regard.

"I'm hunting, looking for a come-up. This is f*ing awesome."

So deep I can't even see you anymore.

On a serious note though, I don't need these lyrics to be deeply philosophical, it rocks even rapping about grandpa's clothes.
