iTunes and iCloud Security
Especially in this day and age, you can’t be too careful when it comes to Internet security. Perhaps inspired by the recent celebrity photo debacle, AppleInsider posted a how-to on adding another level of security to iTunes and iCloud accounts:
Last week’s celebrity photo leaks were a stark reminder of what can happen to internet users that fail to follow basic security precautions, like enabling two-factor authentication when it’s available. With Apple’s own security practices under the microscope, AppleInsider shows you how to enable Cupertino’s own implementation.
PYBT: How to enable Apple’s secure two-step verification for your iCloud & iTunes accounts, for the whole story.

Who are you and what do you do?
At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we try to post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.
Today’s victim, er, interviewee:
My name is Eivind Hjertnes, and I used to work with software development and IT before I went back to school.
I study philosophy at the University of Bergen. I write on my own site Hjertnes.me, and I do street fundraising for Greenpeace.
You can catch Eivind’s complete story here: Eivind Hjertnes’s sweet iPhone setup.
“Back issues” can be found here: Sweet Setup Interviews.
