Technology

iPad Obliterate: A Tech Tale of Disaster (And How a Backup Can Avoid Heartache)
Dan Pinnington

Lance Ulanoff did an op-ed post titled “iPad Obliterate: A Tech Tale of Disaster” on Mashable last week. In the post he relates his personal story of how he lost all the data on his iPad. His post should be required reading for anyone with a mobile device as there are some very important lessons in it. First and foremost – you must backup the data on all your devices. Second, the point that on an iPad or other iOS device, a “Restore” is really a “factory reset” which deletes all data (as it does on most electronic devices) . . .

Research

Practice

An Evernote to Remember
David Bilinsky & Garry Wise

    A wise company would arrange to provide encrypted backups of their employees’ and principals’ devices, preferably using a shared key for the company’s information and the employee’s private key for their personal information.
